Open 8 a. m. till midnight 7 days weekly

A long awaited “breather”
finally came to the Aggie foot
ball team Saturday night as they
broke a short one-game losing
skein in spectacular fashion with
a 35-3 rout of the Tulane Green
Wave.
No Aggie team in six years has
put more points on the score-
board than Coach Gene Stallings’
team did Saturday in New Or
leans. In 1961 a Jim Myers coach
ed Aggie squad ran up a 55-0
score against Trinity in their
fourth game of the season.
Coach Stallings’ 1966 squad
twice tied the point production
against Tulane with a 35-14 win
over Texas Tech and a 35-7 vic
tory over TCU. The win over the
Green Wave also marked the
first triumph by a Stallings
coached team over a Louisiana
school.
Larry Stegent, the Aggies’
brilliant junior tailback, sparked
A&M’s rejuvenated ground at
tack with a three touchdown per
formance. The former high school
all-American from Houston St.
Thomas gained 111 yards on 12
carries including touchdown
scampers of 15, 8 and 55 yards.
Two games deep into the 1968
season, Stegent is averaging 6.4
yards per carry.
A&M finished the night with a
382 yard total offense mark in
cluding 241 yards on the ground.
As a team the Aggies used 38
running plays for a fantastic 6.3
average per rush.
One of the things that made
the Aggies’ running game go was
the blocking of fullback Ross
Brupbacher. Brupbacher, a Lou
isiana boy who started out his
college career at fullback and
then was switched to defensive
halfback before returning to of
fense last week, threw the key
block to spring Aggie runners
time after time.
Brupbacher, who took the in
jured Wendell Housley’s spot in
the lineup, didn’t forsake his
defensive duties in the game as
he returned an intercepted pass
80 yards for A&M’s final touch
down in the game.
Edd Hargett, the quarterback
that ignites A&M’s offensive
fuse, hit on 9 of 15 tosses in the
game for 141 yards and ran for
an additional 56 yards in the

Everything seems to point to an easy victory for the S
Louis Cardinals over the Detroit Tigers in the 1968 Wor
Series which begins Wednesday in St. Louis.
The defending world champions have more speei
more consistent hitting and better relief as well as startini
pitching than their American League opponents. Manage
Red Schoendienst’s baseballers will also have the home fiel
advantage four times if the series should go the full sevei
games.
In fact the odds seem to be so overwhelming in favi
of St. Louis that in order to win the crown they may jus
have to show up at four of the games.
When the odds favor one team so overwhelming!)
however, the underdogs pull off an amazing number of up
sets. Because of this, the Tigers will win this year’s sene
in a short five-game set.
Manager Mayo Smith’s team has fooled the “experts
with more regularity over the past five years than air
other team in either league. Each year since 1963
writers covering the major league training camps vote
Detroit the pre-season favorites role.
The Tigers could never live up to their ratings unt
this season, however, as minor problems constantly plague
the team and kept them from taking the top prize.
Denny McLain, Detroit’s 31-game winner, this seaso
could hold the key to the Tiger success during the serie
McLain, a 24-year-old who had never put it all together be
fore this season, will face the Cardinals’ Bob Gibson in tv
of the five games and must win at least one.
A1 Kaline, the old pro on the Tigers, is this corner
choice as the possible star of the series. Kaline, who wa
the youngest player in history to win a batting crown, ha
had a career of ups and downs that has kept the status
a super-star just out of his reach.
Tigers Fall To Cards, 7-6,
By RICHARD CAMPBELL
The A&M Consolidated Tigers

money Friday night against the
Del Valle Cardinals but for the
third time this season came up
on the short end of the score-
board.
tack up and down the field for
three quarters, the Redbirds final
ly got on the scoreboard in the
fourth quarter with a 30-yard
drive culminating in a touchdown
and the all-important point after.
The Cardinals staged a second-
half comeback to down the hap
less Cats, 7-6, after threatening
several times in the first half.
The huge Cards fell victim to two
timely pass interceptions by Tiger
halfback Mike Litterst. Litterst
also scampered 80 yards with a
punt return to account for the
only Tiger points for the night.
The game ended on a very weird
play as the Tiger quarterback
Paul Madeley pitched to Litterst
but he could not get out of bounds
and the clock ran out. But the
officials spotted an infraction on
the play and the Tigers got an
other chance, this time attempting
a 33-yard field goal. It was wide
to the right and the score stood
with the Tigers suffering their
third straight defeat of the young
