Stallings Is Wary Of Tigers
By RICHARD CAMPBELL
Coach Gene Stallings was less
than relaxed Monday at his week
ly press conference as he talked
about the Louisiana State game
scrimmage he saw Saturday with
a few members of his coaching
staff.
“They are big and strong,”
Stallings said. “I wish that I
hadn’t gone now that I’ve seen
them in action.”
The Tigers are the first op
ponents which the 1969 edition
of Stallings’ Aggies will face next
year in the unfriendly confines
of Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge.
There is always a capacity crowd
of 68,000 for this game in the
stadium and if Stallings sounded
wary, he had reason enough.
The Aggie head mentor sum
med up Saturday’s scrimmage as
“the worst that we have had all
spring, both offensively and de
fensively.”
“Our quarterbacks were throw
ing in traffic, our pass routes
were sloppy, and we were tackling
badly,” he continued. “No one
really played well, maybe because
the boys knew the coaching staff
was leaving right after the scrim
mage for Baton Rouge to watch
LSU. I guess that maybe the
coaching staff did a poor job of
inspiring and motivating them.”
The question of depth came
up at the conference and Stallings
displayed a touch of his guarded
optimism while commenting on
the squad’s biggest problem of
last year.
“Last year, we had one man
backing up about four or five
positions,” he said. “This year
we have more depth than we
have had in the past. There are
several men of equal ability at
nearly every position except the
defensive secondary and center.
“Mike Lord, Steve Luebbehusen,
and Cliff Thomas are three fine
linebackers,” he said. “And James
Dubcak and Wayne Wheat are
real good sophs at defensive end,
not even counting (Mike) DeNiro
and (Jim) Piper, our starters
from last year.”
The senior leadership, according
to Stallings, is also good on this
team.
“Jack Kovar, Ross Brupbacher,
Buster Adami are all good lead
ers,” he said. “And even Mike
Caswell is a leader in his own
quiet kind of way.”
Stallings was also asked to
comment on remarks made by
members of A&M’s Afro-Ameri
can Society, one of which said
that he discriminated against
colored athletes.
“I have said before and I’ll say
it again, that anyone has the
chance to make the football team
at Texas A&M and earn a schol
arship,” Stallings said. “In fact,
we try to leave open one or two
scholarships for A&M students,
regardless of color, so that they
may come out for the team and'
earn them. We believe that this
adds to the school’s esprit-d’-
corps.”

’Mural Year
• i
Nears Close
F-l, coming from sixth place
two weeks ago, took the corps
championship in both tennis and
golf to take the first place in
Class A competition. '
Although the softball playoffs
have not been completed, this]
gave them 765 points to the sec
ond place total of 760 for G-l.~
F-l had a comparatively slow
start in the fall but during the
winter they were league champs
in basketball and took second
place in the wrestling tourna
ment. They were runners-up in
their league in four different
sports.
G-l was consistently near the
top in the standings all year
although they never won a corps
championship. Twice they finished
second in handball and tennis and j
they also finished third twice in
basketball and bowling.
Third place overall has yet to
be decided. If B-l wins the corps
championship in softball they will |
finish third, otherwise C-2 will
take third with 745 points. C-2
has one corps championship to
their credit for winning horse
shoes. j

For guys who work night shifts
a pill for the day shift.
*'5**
>*? ^
Nothing can kill a day like a hard night.
Yet every campus has its nocturnal heroes
dedicated to the art of playing it cool.
If you’re one of them, we’d like to offer
you a little food for thought.
What we have in mind is NoDoz®. The pill
that helps you shift through the day shift.
NoDoz has the strongest stimulant you
can buy without a prescription. And it’s not
habit forming.
With a couple of NoDoz,
workers of the night can fight
another day.
