I would say that we are a better football team than we have been at any time this year.” “If I had to pick out one thing which we did better, it was to throw them for more losses than we have,” he said. “They were forced into more long yardage situations and that helped us.” Again the Aggie defense, though not playing spectacularly as they have in the past, did perform with Ebrom Has His Happiest Night The happiest day of Ed Ebrom’s life came when a Texas A&M foot ball coach offered him a scholar ship. Well . . . maybe the second happiest, because the Karnes City sophomore was about as happy as you can get after intercepting two passes and returning one for a touchdown in A&M’s 24-0 vic tory over Baylor. “It’s about time,” Ebrom said in a jubilant Aggie dressing room as his teammates ribbed him. One teammate sent a young fan over to ask Ebrom, “Are you the guy who put Karnes City on the map?” “That’s me,” Ebrom beamed. The performance by the 5-10, 180-pound defensive back came as no surprise to A&M coaches. Ebrom stepped into a starting berth on the first day of spring training and has been there since. He had played every down on defense until suffering an injury in the fourth quarter against TCU. At first it was feared that he had a cracked collarbone which would have put him on the shelf for the rest of the season. Fortunately it turned out to be nothing more than a calcium de posit which had been chipped away, and Ebrom was back in pads for the Baylor game. “It seemed like Baylor worked on my side a lot,” Ebrom said. “I guess they were testing to see how much the injury affected me.” As Baylor discovered, a little pain can’t stop Ebrom. “Ed’s an emotional football player,” coach Gene Stallings says. “That’s the kind I like. Ed’s getting better every week. He’s going to be a real good one before he’s through.” Ebrom was a halfback on of fense and defense at Karnes City and even played a little quarter back for coach Jerry E Hedge, himself a former Aggie. “I al ways wanted to go to A&M,” Ebrom says. “When they offered me a scholarship it was the hap piest day of my life. Now that I’ve been here awhile, it’s even better than I expected.” Ebrom worked with weights during the summer to build up his strength, and also worked out on a trampoline to improve his quickness. He had some problems early in the season by playing too far off the offensive man. But a little confidence and a little experience has remedied that. When the Aggies play Arknasas in Fayetteville Saturday, Ebrom will be sticking close to his man and hoping more happy days are ahead.

It was the first time this season that A&M has held an opponent scoreless and the first time since the TCU game of 1967 when the Aggies won 20-0. Several players re ceived praise for their play against the Bears with end Mike DeNiro and safety Dave Elmen- dorf getting special note. “DeNiro played pretty well and we got to the passer more with him in there,” Stallings said, “and that Elmendorf is a real football player—he has not had a bad game.” Others on the defensive unit winning praise were the Odom brothers, Lynn and Van, in the center of the line. Jim Piper, who probably had one of his best games at defensive end, Steve Luebbenhusen, starting at rover for the first time, David Hoot who is improving every week, and Buster Adami, the defensive sig nal caller and linebacker. Stallings also stressed the in tangible factors that figure into the game of football when dis cussing the upcoming game with the Razorbacks in Fayetteville. “They (Arkansas) were down when they played Baylor and Baylor gave them a scare,” he said. “But they’ll be up for us. It’s their homecoming game, they’ve had three weeks to get ready for us, and it’s going to be on regional television, so they’ll have plenty of incentive Satur day.” What Stallings meant about the Razorbacks having three weeks to prepare for their meet ing with the Aggies was their open date after their game with Baylor and then a non-conference clash with Wichita State last week, which they won handily. Bill Montgomery, the Razor- backs’ passing whiz, and Chuck Dicus, their talented split end, are both question marks for this week’s game but Stallings thought that they might see action. “Both of them were suited up last week against Wichita State and both participated in the pre game drills,” he said, “so I imagine that they’ll both be ready.” Linebacker Cliff Powell, a 6-1, 210-pounder, was picked out by Stallings as a real fine player. He is the defensive captain for the Razorbacks and is the leader in tackles and assists. Fullback Bruce Maxwell (6-1, 218) was Player of the Week ~£4 ED EBROM Ed Ebrom is the Batt’s Player Of The Week after his performance in the Aggies’ 24-0 win over the Baylor Bears in the first home game for A&M this season. Ebrom intercepted two passes, one which he returned 44 yards for a touchdown and the other for a save in the end zone. The 5-10, 180-pound defensive halfback is one of the many sophomores which dot the Aggie roster. A native of Karnes City, Ebrom was an all-district defensive halfback, tailback, and quarterback two years in high school. He was all-district three years in basketball and holds the school record in the pole vault. The performance against the Bears came as no surprise to the Aggie coaches because they had pegged Ebrom for stardom after his fine year on the unbeaten freshman team last season. A hard-nosed tackier, the sticky defensive halfback is in on many tackles in the open field and in the season opener against LSU, he was in on 13 tackles. 0AIVICD COPY-DUPLICATOR Come see the new AMCD out-perform any copy-duplicator available today — and do it at a low cost-per-eopy.

Their defensive team is also outstanding.” The Aggies came out of the Baylor clash with a rash of in juries and at this stage are not in good shape physically. Mon day, Larry Stegent, Andy Philley, Robin Davis, and Winston Beam all missed practice and six others couldn’t have practiced full speed. Can-Am Set For Climax Nov. 9 STALLINGS International road racing careens toward a grand climax for 1969 in the Nov. 9 running of the Texas International Canadian- American Challenge Cup 210- miler on a new multi-million dol lar super speedway here. The final race of the 1968 Can-Am caravan produced the most fire works, and this easily could hap pen again. Last year this continent-span ning junket reached the end of the line at the Stardust Grand Prix in Las Vegas, which dripped drama from the moment the SCCA’s big Group 7 sports cars were flagged into action. Denis Hulme, the winner, was fortunate to avoid a multi-car accident on the pace lap that was triggered when Mario Andretti’s Lola Ford rubbed fenders with Bruce McLaren’s MK-8B Chevro- lete. When the smoke for this drifted away on the desert breeze, Chris Amon has been knocked from the race 200 yards after launching a new 6.2 liter blood- red Ferrari 612 on its maiden junket. McLaren was forced to pit several times for body repairs and with them went his chances to nose out Hulme in a point-fund scramble for the series crown which he’d won in 1967. Mark Donohue, who also had a chance to win the fat Can-Am set going into that finale, didn’t complete the pace lap. Then in the fateful closing moments of the race, Jim Hall, the famed owner-designer-driver from Midland, tangled with Lo- thar Motschenbacher’s Chevrolet going into turn one at 150 miles per hour, flipped and landed up side down in the desert. Jim’s injuries included two leg frac tures, a dislocated jaw and burns. Motschenbacher walked with minor burns. away When the Houston Astros had finished their June home stand they had turned in 26 victories in their last 32 home games.
