Page 4 THE BATTALION College Station, Texas Wednesday, November 1, 1967 Sports Aplenty Conferences Getting Tight By GARY SHERER Last weekend turned out to be a good one for most of the college football sages. This humble picker of games was 8-2 bringing the season reading to 33-19-0. The 1967 season is approaching its end and all the major conferences are battling for the top spot. The Aggies have grabbed the top rung in the South west Conference and should battle with Texas, Tech and Arkansas for the title. Rice’s recent injuries have almost eliminated them from contention but . . . In other major conferences it shapes up this way. Ivy League—Dartmouth, Harvard and Yale; Big Ten—Purdue, Minnesota and Indiana; Atlantic Coast—North Carolina St. and South Carolina; Southeastern—Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee; Big Eight—Colorado, Kansas and Oklahoma; Western—Wyoming; Pacific Eight—UCLA and USC. The games this week should be hotly-contested so here is another try at the top ten. TEXAS A&M 24, ARKANSAS 17 This game will be won in the defensive secondary. MISSISSIPPI 21, LSU 15 The Tigers will be ‘Talkin about Jackson’ when they get back from this trip. MICHIGAN STATE 26, OHIO STATE 13 Woody Hayes is starting to look at the ‘help wanted’ ads. UCLA 23, OREGON STATE 13 Gary Beban and friends look better than the Purdue- beaters. OKLAHOMA 18, COLORADO 14 The Buffaloes see their hopes crumble farther. AUBURN 28, FLORIDA 20 Shug Jordan’s crew wants to stay alive in the SEC. GEORGIA 17, HOUSTON 14 Cougars host a wild bunch of Bulldogs. DARTMOUTH 16, YALE 12 Ivy League lead at stake in New Haven, Conn., battle. MIAMI (FLA.) 26, VIRGINIA TECH 11 Hurricanes to repeat last season’s Liberty Bowl win. OKLAHOMA STATE 22, MISSOURI 18 Cowboys getting tougher and tougher. Still hoping for that perfect record. Last three weeks have shown steady improvement. As a final parting note: UPSET OF THE WEEK — SMU over Texas. ‘Scared To Death 9 Says Stallings ROLF KRUEGER Switch back to defense has helped the most. Series Payoff Sets Low Record NEW YORK. — Each win ning St. Louis Cardinal will re ceive $8,314.81 and each losing Boston Red Sox $5,115.23 from the World Series, the smallest shares in six years. By GARY SHERER Fayetteville sits up in the Ozark mountains of Arkansas. It’s a pleasant little community with an average population and on the surface looks harmless. If you are a football coach, you take a different impression of the home of the Arkansas Razorbacks. “I FEEL LIKE any other coach going to Fayetteville to play Arkansas on homecoming,” said Gene Stallings. “I’m scared to death.” Stallings expressed this fear at his weekly press confer ence Tuesday. The Aggie mentor noted that the Hogs have great personnel, are well coached and are due to come up with an outstanding performance (the Razorbacks have been floundering recently, losing to Texas and being tied by Baylor). Stallings feels that Arkansas’ defense is their strong suit and that his high-geared offense will be put to a test. AS FAR AS the Aggies are concerned the Maroon and White are now in their best physical shape of the season as there were no new injuries in the Baylor game. However, Stallings noted that several players cannot go at top speed in practice. It was brought out that the recent changes that Stallings has made in his lineup have been the main reasons for the Aggie upsurge. THE AGGIES’ head man feels that the best move he made was putting junior tackle Rolf Krue ger back on defense. Krueger, who started the year out at an offensive tackle slot, was moved back to defense following the Florida State game. Stallings said that the Krueger change has brought a steadying influence to the defensive line. When presented with the idea that the changes have been sage maneuvering, Stallings brushed it off by pointing out that he had no choice because of injuries.

Because of the limited capacity of the Boston park where only 35,188 could be packed in, the Cards’ share was more than $4,000 short of the all-time win ning record of $12,794.00 by the 1963 Los Angeles Dodgers. The Red Sox checks were far short of the record of $8,189.36 by the losing Dodgers in 1966. It was the smallest winning share since the New York Yan kees of 1961 got $7,389.13 and the smallest losing check since the old Brooklyn Dodgers of 1952 received $4,200.64. The small payoffs, a sharp contrast to the $15,000 for the Super Bowl winner and $7,500 for the loser, plus $9,813.63 for the National Football League championship, was sure to renew pressure by those who favor a guaranteed check for Series win ners and losers, regardless of park size. St. Louis gave out 34 full shares and voted three one-quarter shares as well as $1,600 in cash awards. Hargett’s Offense Tops SWC Stats DALLAS. <A>> —Edd Hargett, Texas A&M’s passing man, sets a terrific offensive pace in South west Conference football. Not only is he the total offense king and holds a big lead in pass ing, but he has done something with his efforts. He leads the league in touchdown production, too. Hargett has thrown for nine touchdowns and scored one him self as he paces the Aggies along the victory trail. Hargett has averaged five yards every time he handled the ball—on 27 plays he has gained 1055 yards. Most of this is from passing. He has completed 66 of 142 at tempts for 1,049 yards with only five interceptions. He averaged 4.5 yards each time he carried the oval. Jerry Levias of Southern Meth odist caught 10 passes against Texas Tech and increased his lead in receiving. He has nabbed 33 for 336 yards and three touch downs. Bob Long of the Aggies, how ever, has the biggest touchdown production. Seven of his 20 catches have been for scores. Bill Hobbs of Texas A&M has intercepted five passes for 157 yards to lead that category. Steve O’Neal of A&M has aver aged 43.2 yards on 55 kicks to top the punters. Rice leads in team total offense with 376.8 yards per game. Ar kansas tops in defense, giving up only 248.8 yards per outing. Boston voted 31 full shares, eight one-half shares, two one- third shares and also made 15 other cash awards totalling $11,- 250. Chris Gilbert, Texas’ mighty man, continues to lead the ball carriers by a wide margin. Crash ing Chris has run 166 times for 696 yards and six touchdowns. The Kansas City Athletics in 1968 will be known as the Oak land Athletics. Owner Charles O. Finley says he’s taking his mule with him.
