Assistant Sports Editor
The Texas Aggie Fish will lay
a perfect 3-0 record on the line
against the Texas Tech Picadors
tonight in Kyle Field. Kickoff
time is at 7:30 for the final Fish
home game of the season.

Rice Owlets 38-6 on a wet field
in Houston. Vance Kerbow sup
plied the necessary offensive
against Rice as he rushed for 149
yards in 19 carries and scored
three touchdowns. For the sea
son he has lugged the pigskin
for 260 yards in 41 carries for a
6.3 average.

picked up nine Owlet fumbles
and robbed the Rice airlanes
three times to give the Fish of
fensive great field positions all
night. The Fish’s other two vic
tories came at the expense of
TCU, 27-26, and Baylor, 16-6.
The Picadors are 1-2 for the
season with a 31-14 win over the
University of Texas at Arling
ton and losses to Arkansas, 23-
22, and Oklahoma, 50-12.
The Fish won last year’s meet
ing in Lubbock, 16-13, scoring
late in the game to ice the vic
tory.
“We’re improving every
game,” Fish coach Jim Keller
said. “Our team played its best
game offensively and defensive
ly against Rice. Kerbow has im
proved 200 per cent, and our de
fense is really hitting.”
The Fish finally broke the hab
it of not scoring in the second
half last week as Kerbow broke
for a thirty yard scoring run on
the Fish’s first offensive play.
“We really don’t know much
about Tech,” said Keller, “But I
know that quarterback Greg Wa
ter, Fullback Gaines Baty, and
halfback Ed Lee Renfro were
highly sought after when they
were seniors and they’ve been do
ing a good job.”
The Picadors plan to start an
offensive unit composed of Rog
er Napper, split end, Vince Free
man, left tackle, Harold Lyons,
left guard, Mike Hunter at cen
ter, RusselP Ingram at right
guard, Larry Peterson, right
tackle, and to round out the line
at right end Larry Burnett.
In the backfield in addition to
Waters, Baty, and Renfro, the
Picadors will have Andrew Gon-
da at flanker.

There’s been a lot of huffin’ and puffin’ around
conference lately concerning the team of officials
worked the A&M-Arkansas game Saturday. Frank Bro; B fin
of Arkansas said that they were the some ones who 11 p 1

Waco Oct. 11. The Bears held the Hogs to a 7-7 tit
three quarters before Arkansas finally pulled it out!
Several sportwriters and coaches have commei
rather vehemently about some of the calls which thest land
ficials made. They have worked the A&M-Arkansas, A th t]
TCU, and Arkansas-Bay lor games, and all three games k arRH |
been criticized after for their inconsistency in calls. me t
Generally, any griping done by losing coaches isj Mar*
looked upon as sour grapes and cast aside because los ^shi
coaches are not supposed to have the right to compl ee dw
That’s well and good, but when even some of the wini in y ;
coaches take the time to cast stones at the officiating
maybe there is some credence and a sound basis for
griping.
Cliff Speegle and Wilbur Evans of the Southwest
ference have been consulted in regards to the perform
of some of the SWC officials. Game films are usually
best criteria available for evaluating the officials’
made during the course of a ball game. These samefil
serve either to indicate the official or show that the 1
he made was lousy.
I
Let’s face facts, the official is counted on in a (J
ball game in much the same way that a player is. Hi W|
judged solely upon his performance under pressure!
admittedly, the job is not easy. But there is also anotl
side to the coin because the official has an obligation to I
teams and fans to perform as ably as he can in the kl
of battle. And if he cannot do this with a clear consciefn
then the time to turn in his whistle has come.
No doubt that everyone can recall certain install
where the officiating was atrocious, but this is not
problem. What separates these latest incident from |
common-place “bush-league” calls is that they are not:
lated affairs but consistenly questionable ones.
The thing that really claws at the insides is thefc
that if an official blows a call, he ought to have the f
to come over to the sideline and explain or apologize
the coach. But some referees take the attitude thatji
because they are wearing that striped shirt, they are
every time.
Fortunately, there is hope for this situation andion oi
seems to be a simple task: eliminate the bad apples fn e nse ]
the bunch. Because, believe it or not, there are manyf
ficials, and especially in the SWC, who have the persoi sai
integerity it takes to handle this tough job. Obvionfata
others do not and should be dealt with accordingly.
