Page 12 THE BATTALION College Station, Texas Thursday, October 26, 1967 SWC Roundup BAIT PICKS By JERRY GRISHAM The Rice Owls try to hang on to their first place spot in the Southwest Conference this Satur day in Austin at the expense of the resurging Texas Longhorns. The Owls go into the contest with an acute injury problem. L. V. Benningfield, Rice’s leading ground gainer, is out for the re mainder of the season with an ankle injury. THE INDEFINITE loss of top defensive end George Alexander with a hurt knee combined with the earlier loss of quarterback Robby Shelton and guard Frank Mandola put the Owls in a diffi cult position. The Longhorns come off of a 21-12 victory over the Arkansas Razorbacks and with the confer ence’s leading ground gainer in Chris Gilbert threaten to cut short the Owl’s first place reign. After five games Gilbert now has 620 yards. His 162 yards against Arkansas moved him into the Texas career rushing lead with 1,700 yards in only a sea son and a half. Texas Aggie fans are in a strange spot as far as Aggies are concerned. A Texas victory combined with an Aggie win over the Baylor Bears will leave the Farmers alone on top with a 3-1 ’39 Ag Gridders To Hold Reunion Members of the Texas Aggies’ 1939 National Championship foot ball team will hold their 28th re union here Friday and Saturday in connection with the Aggie- Baylor football game. Howard Shelton, president of the group, has announced that headquarters will be at the Sands Motel in College Station. A bar becue Friday night at the Sands will start the weekend for the group. Following the Saturday after noon football game, the ’39 group will have a buffet banquet at Briarcrest Country Club. The bus iness meeting Sunday morning will complete the 1967 reunion. Tribute will be paid to the mem bers of that team have died. In addition to Coach Homer Norton and assistant Harry Faulkner they include Gus Bates, Jitterbug Henderson, Jack Kimbrough, Der ace Moser, Joe Parish, Herbie Smith and Maurice Williams. Currently, the group supports two boys at Texas A&M on aca demic scholarships and plans to start another each year, Shelton announced. Who’s On First? In Rice Backfield HOUSTON (AP) — Tailback Terry Shelton missed practice Wednesday with either a virus or strep throat and there was some doubt that he would be able to play when Rice meets Texas Saturday night in Austin. “There’s a chance he’ll play— and even start—if he gets out tomorrow,” said a worried Bo Hagan, Rice head coach. “If he can’t work out, though, his chan ces are slim.” Shelton took over the No. 1 tailback position last week when L. V. Benningfield was injured in the Southern Methodist game. Shelton scored both touchdowns in Rice’s 14-10 defeat of SMU. The Owls who have won three in a row, are beginning to wonder what their backfield will be like from week to week. Number one quarterback Robby Shelton dis located his shoulder in Rice’s op ener with LSU and is out indef initely. Benningfield is out for the sea son after undergoing surgery on his ankle last Sunday. In fact, fullback Lester Lehman is the only original backfield starter still healthy. Hagan, in his first year as head man, took the job knowing the depth of per sonnel has always been a problem at Rice. S o far, the injuries haven’t seemed to bother the Owls as the three game skein is the longest at the Houston school in quite awhile. record so Aggies will be hoping for a Longhorn win at the same time they will be pulling for the A&M squad to bomb the Bears. IN RECENT YEARS the Ag gies and Bears have met with the Ags relying primarily on a ground attack while Baylor has been a passing team. This year the roles are reversed with the Aggies being the aerial wizards and Bears holding forth with the infantry. The Aggies, however, proved last week against TCU that they aren’t lacking in the ground-gain ing department. They may have the chance Saturday afternoon to find out if it was poor TCU de fense or if the A&M running game has truly come into its own. Texas Tech and Southern Met hodist, both tied with 1-1 confer ence marks for third place along with Texas, try to break their part of the deadlock when they collide in Lubbock. AFTER TWO GREAT starts including a victory over Texas, the Raiders have been winless in three outings and the Mustangs haven’t been on the winning side since their win over A&M in Sep tember. The Raiders have the running of John Scovell and Mike Leinert and SMU has Jerry Levias. Mike Livingston, out since the A&M game, may be back in at quarter- Games Sherer Rowton Grisham Fuller Mr. X Baylor A&M A&M A&M A&M A&M at A&M by 13 by 12 by 8 by 10 by 12 Rice at Texas Texas Texas Texas Rice Texas by 5 by 3 by 10 by 7 by 2 SMU at Tech Tech Tech Tech Tech Tech by 8 by 7 by 5 by 4 by 47 Nebraska TCU Nebraska Nebraska Nebraska Nebraska at TCU by 2 by 21 by 15 by 14 by 6 Kansas St. Ark.
