THE BATTALION
College Station, Texas Wednesday, November 19, 1969
LARRY STEGENT
Player of the Week
Larry Stegent is the Batt’s Player Of The Week selection
for his play in the Rice game.
Stegent turned in his usual good game running as he
topped the 100-yard mark rushing for the fourth time this
season. Against the inspired Owls he gained an even 100
yards on 22 carries despite the fact that he was ‘keyed on’
throughout the game.
The 6-1, 198-pound senior tailback now has 641 yards
for the year on route to being named to the All-Southwest
Conference for the third year in a row. A prime All-America
candidate from the Southwest, the Houston St. Thomas
product will undoubtedly go high in the pro football draft.
He missed one game this year (LSU) and played half of
two others because of a pulled hamstring muscle in fall drills.
Stegent now holds the school records for kickoffs with 38
and kickoff return yardage with 694.
With the bowl game picture now a little clearer, just
look what happened.
In the Rose Bowl, the grandaddy of them all, Southern
Cal or UCLA will meet the winner of the Michigan-Purdue
game. Everybody knows that the Buckeyes from Columbus,
O. should have been invited but antiquated Big Ten decorum
prevents it.
The Orange Bowl, held in Miami, Fla., is, according to
many of the football teams that have played in it, the “best
one to go to in terms of fun”. Penn State, top team in the
East, is slated to meet Missouri, a Big Eight co-champ. It
would really be nice to see how well the “top team in the
East” would do in the Cotton Bowl against either Texas or
Arkansas.
But, heavens above, the Fightin’ Irish, have let down
their curtain and have finally decided to visit bowl games
again after a 44-year absence. It’s understandable that they
did so in order to provide more money for their academic
pursuits. Alas, they will provide the Cotton Bowl competi
tion for the winner between Texas and Arkansas in their big
Dec. 6 clash.
The loser receives a little consolation because it goes to
the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans where Mississippi, the
Tennessee giant-killer awaits.
One of the real tragedies of the bowl season will be the
conspicuous absence of the Louisiana State Tigers in any of
the festivities. Funny, but they figured on getting the Cotton
Bowl bid and when Notre Dame got back into the bowl
business, they voted that since they couldn’t get a major
bowl invitation they wouldn’t go at all. They could have,
gotten into the Astro-Bluebonnet classic at Houston but
nixed it. Wonder why they didn’t get the Sugar Bowl bid over
Mississippi, who sports a 6-3 record not even close to the 9-1
Tigers?
You’ll all be glad to know that the Crimson Tide of
Alabama will go to their eleventh straight bowl this year,
even with a 6-3 mark. Bear Bryant’s boys got a Liberty Bowl
bid to play a yet to be named foe.
Buckeyes Seek Second Straight Titli
Ohio State goes against Michi
gan at Ann Arbor Saturday with
a chance of becoming the sixth
team in modern history to win
successive national college foot
ball championships.
No team ever has won the title
three times in a row but the Buck
eyes, with a great junior squad
headed by quarterback Rex Kern,
aim at continuing their dynasty
at least through 1970.
An impressive triumph over
Michigan would make the Buck
eyes a heavy favorite in the de
cisive year-end poll of The Asso
ciated Press. A loss probably
would knock them out of the pic
ture and elevate either Texas or
Arkansas to the No. 1 spot.
This would probably turn the
Texas-Arkansas game at Fayette
ville, Ark., Dec. 6 into the
national championship game.
The Buckeyes continued to
dominate the A P’s weekly poll
Tuesday with 31 of 38 first place
votes from a panel of sports
writers and broadcasters for a
total of 736 points. Points are
based on the electors’ placings,
with 20 for first, 18 second, 16
third, etc.
The last team to win two clear-
cut national crowns in a row was
Alabama, coached by Paul “Bear”
Bryant, in 1964-65.
Previous teams to repeat were
Minnesota 1940-47, Army 1944-45,
Notre Dame 1946-47 and Okla
homa 1955-56.
The Buckeyes solidified the top
spot by crushing Purdue last week
42-14—the team that they knocked
out of the No. 1 position a year
ago.
Unbeaten Texas held onto the
No. 2 rung wtih a smashing 69-7
triumph over Texas Christian and
Arkansas, the Longhorns’ South
west Conference rival leaped over
Tennessee’s head to third place by
trouncing Southern Methodist 28-
15.
Tennessee, which had been eye
ing a major bowl bid, fell from
third to ninth after suffering a
38-0 defeat at the hands of
Mississippi.
Penn State, headed for an
Orange Bowl date against Mis
souri, took fourth place, followed
in order by Southern California,
No. 6; UCLA, No. 6; Missouri,
No. 7; Notre Dame, No. 8;
Tennessee, No. 9; and Louisiana
State, No. 10.
Notre Dame, breaking a 45-
year tradition, is going to the
Cotton Bowl to face the Texas-
Arkansas survivor. The Southern
Cal-UCLA winners this week
qualifies for the Rose Bowl
against the undecided Big Ten
representative. Mississippi, 13th
in the poll, grabbed the Sugar
Bowl spot against the losing side
of the Texas-Arkansas debate.

place votes in parentheses and
