THE BATTALION
‘New’ Aggies Invade Rice Owls’ Nest
By Richard Campbell
Battalion Sports Editor
A revamped Texas Aggie foot
ball team takes a short trip this
Saturday in hopes of grabbing
one of their big wins of 1969
when they invade Houston for the
always tough clash with the Rice
Owls at 2 p.m. in Rice Stadium.
Now standing 3-5 for the year,
the Cadets have convinced the ex
perts that their preseason pick
of seventh in the Southwest Con
ference won’t hold water. Of
course, this proof may have been
a little late in coming but it has
arrived nevertheless. After a
shaky start, the Aggies have won
two of their last three including
a strong showing against fourth-
ranked Arkansas Razorbacks.
The young charges of Coach
Gene Stallings have finally begun
to come up with the big play at
the right time and that is the
story of winning college football.
Before the 20-10 thumping of the
SMU Mustangs last week, the
Aggies had been playing well
enough to win but couldn’t come
up with the big play when it
counted.. Now the picture prom
ises to be different and the Rice
Owls will be the first team to test
the big play magic to make sure
it was not a fluke.
The Owls, however, have not
exactly struck fear into the hearts
of their opponents this year and
the oddsmakers have given the
Aggies a ten-point edge. On the
way to a 1-6 record and 0-4 con
ference mark the Owls have not
been without bright spots. Quar
terback Stable Vincent, the first
negro signal-caller in the SWC,
has rounded into top form and
promises to give the Aggie de
fense a tough chore.
He has hit 42 of 80 for 465
yards and three touchdowns but
he has been more effective scram
bling this year with 189 yards to
lead the Owl rushers. The Owls
have six runnel’s with over 100
yards for the year but they lost
their best runner, big Tony Con
ley, who is now out for the year
with a knee ailment. Injuries have
nagged the Rice defensive unit
especially their linebackers, where
standout end Rodrigo Barnes had
to play last week. Still, the Owls
led Texas Tech 14-0 two weeks
ago and played Arkansas to a
first standoff last week before
falling 30-6.

The similarities between the
two are great, and that’s not bad.
Hoot stands 6-2 and weighs 190,
about the same size as Elmendorf.
Hoot has intercepted passes in
crucial situations this year, as has
Elmendorf. Both were all-city
outfielders, Hoot at Reagan, El
mendorf at Westbury.
As an All-SWC freshman on
A&M’s 5-0 Fish team last year,
Hoot led the team in interceptions
with three in five games.
Hoot is an all-round athlete in
the mold of Elmendorf. During
his high school career, Hoot was
all-city and all-zone in football,
baseball and basketball. In base
ball he hit .606 in American Le
gion ball and averaged .395 for
three years. He scored 600 points
in basketball his senior year and
once scored five touchdowns in a
football game.

There will be five Aggie sen

yards and five touchdowns, all to
tight end Ross Brupbacher.
Barney Harris is the top Cadet
receiver with 30 catches for 441
yards with Brupbacher second
with 20 grabs for 369 and Stegent
and Black have each caught 11.
Jimmy Sheffield has moved to
within one-tenth of a percentage
point of second place in punting
with a 40.5 average on 59 kicks.
Quarterback Rocky Self has
taken the now-potent Aggie of
fense for the last two games and
marched them for a touchdown
on their first possession. He seem
ingly found the passing groove
against the Ponies last week with
a nine for 16 showing and the Ag
gie ground game offset the pass
ing perfectly with sophomore
Steve Burks ripping off 100 yards
on only four carries to lead the
overland route.
Larry Stegent, the 6-1, 198-
pound tailback is still the number
three rusher in the SWC with
541 yards and fullback Marc
Black has 199 yards on 56 carries
to provide much of the Aggies’
octane on the ground. Self has
now hit on 79 of 171 for 1041

The Bennetts live here. That's Grandmother Bennett’s Bible on the ■window sill, and the whole fam-
ily goes to the church across the snow covered field.
John Bennett works in the local bank. Martha, his wife, is president of the PTA, and they have
three loi'ely children. Grandmother Bennett has been living with them for the past couple of years, since
she broke her hip. She can’t ahvays get to church in wintertime and that’s why she calls this her win
dow. When she can’t he in church, it helps to he able to see it.
To her, the church steeple represents a great many things, and brings back many memories. Her son
was married in that church. Her husband was buried from it. Her grandchildren were christened in it.
The Church has helped her to bear grief, in hours of sorrow; and it has seemed to put a benediction
upon her happiness, in times of joy. Most important of all, whatever the occasion, whatever the crisis . . .
the Church has always been there.
To Grandmother Bennett, the most comforting thing in the world is knowing that it always will
be there.
