This, according to Stall ings, was the most disappointing aspect of the loss for the Ag gies. WHEN A&M eventually got the ball back on a fumble at their own 38, they had time for only four passes, one complete, before attempting a 61-yard field goal on the game’s last play. Stallings said that he now thinks he made a mistake in pre paring the Aggies for LSU. “We had no full speed contact after the Wednesday before the game and that was my mistake,” Stallings said. One of A&M’s major weak nesses this season, a lack of depth, was a crucial aspect of the opener. LSU used over 50 players during the hot, humid night while the Aggies (“playing the best we got”) used a total of 27 men, 13 on defense and 14 on offense, not counting those on the specialty squads. IVAN JONES and Mike De- Niro were singled out by the Aggie coach as having played consistently well during the game. “DeNiro played a good game for a sophomore,” Stallings said. “He was in on 24 tackles, which is a lot of tackles for a defensive end.” Ross Brupbacher, A&M’s de fensive right halfback, will prac tice at fullback this week and may see action at that spot Sat urday against Tulane, Stallings revealed yesterday. If Brupbacher should move to offense, Tom Sooy or Jack Whitmore may play the defensive halfback. BACK TO WORK Defense was stressed at Tuesday’s football workout at A&M as the Aggies started pre paration for the Tulane game this weekend in New Orleans. Mike DeNiro, one of the brightest spots for the Aggies in their 13-12 loss to LSU last week, is shown above work ing on his tackling technique.

Consolidated lost linebacker Richie Wooten, who suffered a jammed neck in the Klein tussle and is expected to be out of ac tion for at least two weeks. Good news for the Tigers is that both of their starting guards, Bob Liverman and Tat Marek, are expected to be at full speed for the Del Valle game. Del Valle went to the Class A A schoolboy quarter-finals in 1967 and are currently 1-0 in season action. Last week they wiped out Southside of San An tonio, 51-0 and field one of the largest teams the Tigers will face CARRY IT. ONE DROP FRESHENS BREATH f* j INSTANTLY!
