Ag Hooters
Top Shriner
The Texas Aggie soccer team
topped Shriner College Satur
day afternoon at College Station.
The 3-1 victory was the Ag
hooters’ fourth of the year, as
well as a conference victory. They
have lost two, but only one of the
setbacks counts in conference
play.
All soccer home games are
played on the drill field in front
of the Memorial Student Center.
The Aggies are an improved soc
cer team this year and all Aggies
are asked to come out for their
games.
In November, the Aggies will
participate in a tournament in
Austin that will include the host
team from Texas, and teams from
Stanford and Houston.
Interest in soccer is growing in
the U.S. as the CBS network,
who televised professional soccer
games this year, has renewed
their contract for another year.
Sports Aplenty
Picking
The Oldies
By GARY SHERER
While browsing- throug-h the Southwest Conference
record book, I stumbled across some wild sounding football
terms of yesteryear.
I wonder if there were dreamers who picked the results
of their games? Here’s some of the old picks from 1914,
along with some from 1967.

THE BATTALION
Bears Are Tough,
Stallings Reports

By JERRY GRISHAM
No one was more surprised
than Coach Gene Stallings Tues
day when he was told during his
weekly press conference that the
Aggies were 11-point favorites
over Baylor in Saturday’s foot
ball game.
BILL HOBBS
Receives praise from his
coach.
“That is ridiculous,” he said.
“That just goes to show that the
people who decide on the point
spread don’t know what they’re
talking about.”
Tide-Yol Clash
Top Attendance
Stallings emphasized that the
Aggies were not taking the Bears
lightly by any stretch of the
imagination.
NEW YORK. UP)—For the first
time this year, the Big Ten failed
to draw the largest college foot
ball crowd of the week.
Chances are, the way our predictions have been going,
all the 1914 picks would have been wrong. However, with a
season’s record of 25-17-0 things couldn’t get much worse.
The distinction went to the
Southeastern Conference for the
71,849 crowd at Birmingham, Ala.,
that saw Tennessee upset Ala
bama, snapping the Tide’s unbeat
en streak at 25 games.
It was the first time Alabama
paced the country in attendance.
“They are going to present us
with a bunch of problems,” he
noted. “For one thing, I know
they outweigh us 15 to 18 pounds
per man.”
He said that both the Baylor
offense and their defense have
the personnel to get the job done.
He pointed out that in Charles
Wilson, the Baylor fullback, the
Bears have a big strong runner
and he has a line in front of him
which blocks well.
On defense the Bears have
Greg Pipes who Stallings calls
“probably the best defensive
lineman in this part of the coun
try.”
Concerning last week’s game
at Fort Worth against TCU,
Stallings said that after viewing
the film of the game he thought
the Aggies had played better
than his earlier estimate.
After the game Saturday night
he had said that the team had
not played well but the film
showed that the Aggies had good
effort.
Stallings singled out Harvey
Aschenbeck and Bill Hobbs as
the standouts for the Aggies on
defense. Aschenbeck had the most
tackles and assists with 17.
Hobbs had 15 tackles and as
sists but his major contributions
to the A&M effort came as he
swiped two TCU interceptions,
one of which was a 102-yard
touchdown return. He returned
a second one 32 yards.
Hobbs now leads the Southwest
Conference in interceptions with
five steals and return yardage
of 157 yards and two touchdowns.
On offense Stallings called the
combination of Wendell Housley
at fullback and Larry Stegent at
tailback “a good combination.”

New Conference
Is Proposed
DENVER, Colo. bTh—The pos
sibility of forming an athletic
association was discussed by 11
Southwestern and Western inde
pendent universities Tuesday at
a meeting here.
Under discussion were common
problems and the need for a
greater association in athletics.
Those attending agreed an as
sociation along the lines of the
Eastern Collegiate Athletic Con
ference would be founded to im
prove athletics at independent
schools in the region.
Preliminary fact-finding com
mittees were formed to prepare
reports on formation of a con
stitution and operating proce
dures, central office location, a
survey of competitive sports and
financing.
Schools represented included
the Air Force Academy, Creigh
ton University, Centenary Col
lege, the University of Denver,
Hardin-Simmons University, Port
land University, Seattle Univer
sity, Utah State and West Texas
State.
It was indicated Loyola Uni
versity of the South, Oklahoma
City University, Tulane Univer
sity and Southern Nevada Uni
versity expressed interest in
plans, but did not attend the
conference.
Another meeting is scheduled
prior to the NCAA meetings in
New York City early in January.

I sang my harp on the sun’s deck
Here at the water in the cool unblossomed year.
And the light notes clung at my hair roots
Like bird cries gathering.
ebbing
All the day's time leaned
Into lengthening shadows
And moments clung like fresh leaves
On water.
Wind crossed the pond
Leaving stripes and crosses
As though it rolled and cast down.
Cast down its shape for vision.
Wisteria hung for lavender
In a blossom of perfume.
And on the stone a toad
Settled in sunlight.
Is this saturation of senses enough?
Living together between a time frame.
We creature and non-creature
And I among them.
