SWC Roundup
By JERKY GRISHAM
Every team in the Southwest
Conference except Rice has now
met one of its fellow members
on the gridiron and the league
standings do not remotely re
semble any of the preseason pre
dictions.
By dint of its w i n over the
Aggies in the Sept. 16 opener,
SMU has occupied the top spot
in the conference for five weeks.
That may end Saturday when
the Mustangs go to Houston to
invite the Owls to jump into the
fray with the rest of the teams
and if the Owls play like they
have in the earlier part of the
season they should make quite a
splash.
RICE IS the only SWC team
nith a decent record, 2-1, with
the two victories coming over
lough Navy and Northwestern.
The Owls are currently second
in the nation in total offense and
first in the conference with a
total of 1316 yards for an aver
age of 439 yards per game.
They must be rated the sur
prise team of the league so far.
The Arkansas Razorbacks
missed the chance to slip into the
top slot last week when they
barely managed to salvage a 10-
19 tie in a game against the Bay
lor Bears and as a result are in
second place.
This week, in a nationally tele
vised game, they play host in
Little Rock to the last phice
Texas Longhorns. Both teams
have lost two games. The Hogs’
lone victory was over a weak
TCU squad while the Longhorns
dobbered Oklahoma St. 19-0 and
edged the tough Oklahoma Soon-
irs 9-7 last Saturday.
THE RAZORBACKS have
(tumbled through their first
fames only showing at times the
brilliance of previous Frank
Broyles’ teams while the Long
horns have improved with each
performance and could be just
now approaching their stride.
One thing is certain, however.
Saturday’s contest in the Ozarks
will not, as preseason experts
forecast, automatically determine
the SWC champion.
Things are looking up in Ag-
gieland this week as Baron Von
Hargett’s Flying Circus, now in
third place after their amazing
last-second victory over Texas
Tech last weekend, take off for
Cowtown to try and strafe the
TCU Horned Frogs.
THE FROGS, this season, have
shown a marked inability to cross
their opponents’ goal, scoring
only 16 points in three games
while permitting the opposition
74. They currently occupy the
cellar with Texas.
Unfortunately for the Frogs
the Razorbacks uncovered one of
TCU’s most glaring weaknesses,
their pass defense. The Hogs
don’t have an Edd Hargett but
their quarterback John Eichler
picked the Frog secondary apart.
And it’s a fact they can expect
much more of the same Saturday
night.
Speaking of passing. The
fourth place Red Raiders were
devastated by the Aggie aerial
barrage last week and in Talla
hassee, Fla. Saturday they play
the Florida St. Seminoles who as
the Aggies can testify would
rather pass than eat.
THE RAIDERS will more than
likely take the low road trusting
in their ground game while the
Seminoles keep the ether hot.
So, believe it or not, this is the
rankings as of now: 1. SMU, 1-0-
0; 2. Arkansas, 1-0-1; 3. A&M,
1-1-0; 3. Texas Tech, 1-1-0; 4.
Baylor, 0-0-1; 5. TCU, 0-1-0;
5. Texas, 0-1-0.

On Oct. 5 the young team open
ed the 1967 season as they drop
ped a 17-15 thriller to the Texas
Christian Wogs at Kyle Field.
In order to keep in contention
for the SWC lead it will be im
perative that the Fish gain their
fish win tonight. The Fish have
three games remaining after to
night’s encounter.
Coach Helms used most of his
personnel in the TCU game and
probably will experiment some
more in the Baylor game. Bryan’s
Billy Hodge and Rocky Self split
the quarterback job in the last
game with Dave Elmendorf and
Johnny Weaver doing yeoman du
ty at the running back slots.
The cubs are smarting from
last week’s 35-14 loss to the Texas
Shorthorns. In that game, the
Bridge City legend, Steve Wor-
ster racked up 182 yards rushing
for Texas after getting out of a
hospital bed earlier in the day.
The Fish topped the Cubs last
season 34-20 at Waco.
Football people insist, and
rightly so, that recruiting may be
the most important phase of their
business. But Jack Kovar, Texas
A&M’s center, could be a case in
point that proves one is never
certain and recruiters always
overlook a good bet.
Kovar, younger brother of
A&M’s all-SWC guard of last
year, Gary Kovar, came to A&M
without an athletic scholarship.
He had played guard at Houston
Jones High and was a mid-term
graduate. He had a couple of
tentative offers from other schools
but decided to attend A&M and
win a scholarship on his own.
He went through spring drills,
played freshman ball and started
spring drills last April with the
Aggies and all the time he was
second-team guard. Then, one day
he was notified that he had been
switched to center, a position he’d
never played.
Kovar went to work and learned
the new assignments and when
the Aggies played their final
spring game he was first-team
center.
Coach Gene Stallings said after
wards, “We had five centers on
the squad and the one without a
scholarship finished number one
in spring drills.” Kovar was put
on scholarship immediately and
he’s been the number one center
ever since.
He is the only sophomore on
the starting offensive line al
though redshirt Carl Gough has
been making a strong bid for the
strong guard slot in recent weeks.
At the season’s start Stallings
was skeptical about Kovar be
cause of his lack of experience.
After a few games, the Aggie
coach admitted that Jack was
“playing a lot better than I had
anticipated.”
He is the son of Mr. and Mrs.
E. W. Kovar of Houston. His
major at A&M is mechanical en
gineering.
Kovar is a good example for
youngsters who are overlooked by
college recruiters. If they have
the incentive they can work their
way to the first-team, too.
