r. Lex James played his best
at quarterback, and Vance
ow and Jerry Sherman ran
individual season rushing record
with 438 yards in 70 carries.
Roger McFarland set the record
with 546 yards in 119 carries in
1950. Kerbow has established a
new scoring record with seven
touchdowns for 42 points. Bobby
Drake Keith of the 1953 Fish
team scored 41. Kerbow, with 178
yards against Texas Tech, gained
more yardage in that one game
than any Fish back in five games
last season. Last year’s top gain
er was Doug Robbins witn 173
yards.
The Aggie Fish have relied
heavily on their defense to set
the offense up with good field
position. The Fish defenders have
turned the ball over to the of
fense 15 times on pass intercep
tions and 13 times on fumbles.
The 1968 squad, particularly
known for their defense, turned
in 12 pass swipes and got seven
enemy fumbles.
“Defensively we had a good
second half against Tech,” Keller
said. “Kent Findley played his
best game and Butch Kamps was
playing better. Boice Best also
had another good game. Grady
Hoermann and Gary McCaffrey
did a good job at linebacker. We
were especially glad to have Den
nis Carruth back. He played pret
ty well considering that he only
worked out two days prior to
the Tech game. Carruth was see
ing his first action since a knee
operation following the Texas
High School All-Star game.
JOHN SWEDEEN
The secondary is led by Brad
Dusek, Grady Hoermann, Robert
Murski, and Kent Finley with
two interceptions each. Dusek
owns a 35 yard return of one of
his interceptions against the TCU
Wogs. Dusek has also returned
16 punts for 116 with the longest
being for 28 yards against the
Wogs.
In four games the Fish have
amassed 1,338 yards total offen
sive, gaining 846 yards on the
ground and 492 yards passing.
Opponents have knocked out a
total of 910 yards total offensive
with 318 yards on the ground and
592 through the airways.
Keller will probably start an
offensive team composed of John
Swedeen at weak end, Mike
Faulkner at weak tackle, Fred
Placke at weak guard, Buster
Callaway at center, at strong
guard, Robert Gerasimowicz,
Herman Mauch at strong tackle,
and Homer May at strong end.
In the Fish backfield, James will
start at quarterback, Kerbow will
start at tailback, Carry Davis at
fullback and Tommy Goodwin at
wingback.
Defensively the line will be
anchored by Ralph Sacra at left
end, Kamps and Best at the
guards and Gary Martin at right
end. Greg Hall, McCaffrey, Hoer
mann will hold down the line
backing. The secondary will be
composed of Finley at rover, half
backs Murski and Gary White-
head and Dusek at safety.

When Notre Dame lines up
for the 33rd Cotton Bowl Classic
next Jan. 1, the Fighting Irish
are almost certain to be looking
at the most prolific team in
South Conference history.
Whether it’s Texas or Arkan
sas—and everybody else is now
officially eliminated from title
contention — the Fighting Irish
should be fighting a team that
has rewritten at least some SWC
offensive records.
In Arkansas’ case, the Razor-
backs are averaging 85.1 offen
sive plays per game. SMU set
the conference standard last year
by passing or running 855 times,
an average of 85.5 plays per
game.
The Razorbacks need to run
174 plays in their last two games,
admittedly no easy task since
they face the strong defensive
teams of Texas Tech (Thanks
giving Day) and Texas (Dec. 6).
But the ball-hogging Hogs have
already broken one SWC record
twice this year, putting the ball
in play 110 times against Wichita
State and 107 against Oklahoma
State.
Texas’ 69-7 victory over TCU
bettered two records—the intra
league mark of 60 set by Baylor
against Arkansas in 1922 and
343 points scored by the Long
horns last year. That frightful
explosion pushed Texas’ season
mark to 350 points.
And the 651 yards Texas
amassed hiked the total offense
to 3,912 yards, putting the Long
horns within 564 yards of the
one-season offense record estab
lished by Texas last year. The
Longhorns are gaining an aver
age of 5.9 yards per play. Texas
now has 3,056 yards rushing, only
259 yards shy of the ’68 team’s
conference record of 3,315 yards.
While the SWC’s two unbeaten,
nationally ranked teams were
threatening records last week,
some individual standards fell.
Bill Burnett, Arkansas’ tail
back who’s leading SWC rushers,
broke conference and school
scoring records. Burnett tallied
three times in the 28-13 victory
over SMU and now has 16 touch
downs for the season, the same
number he tallied last year as
a sophomore. His 192 points is a
new Arkansas career record and
beats the two-year career total
of 182 set by Wesley Bradshaw
of Baylor in 1921-22. Burnett is
also within easy distance of the
Kicker Gossett
Looks To Dallas
By Bob Myers
Associated Press Sports Writer
LOS ANGELES (A*)—His team
mates call him “The Boomer”
and he is the second leading
scorer in the National Football
League.
But individual achievements
mean nothing. The only score
place-kicker Bruce Gossett is in
terested in is a bigger one for
the Rams over the Dallas Cow
boys here Sunday.
The Rams, on top in the Coast
al Division, 9-0 and the only un
beaten team in pro football, and
the Cowboys, 8-1 and leaders in
the Capitol Division, will perform
before a sellout crowd in Memori
al Coliseum.
“We’ll have our hands full,”
said Gossett during a break in
practice Wednesday. “The Cow
boys have one of the better teams
in football. They’re explosive and
excellent on defense.”
Gossett recalled he came to
the Rams quite by chance. Elroy
Hirsch, then a Ram executive
and now athletic director at Wis
consin, came to the University
of Richmond to scout quarterback
Ron Smith.
“I saw Ron and heard about
this place kicker, so I signed
them both,” Hirsch later recalled.
Ronnie Smith didn’t make it
with Los Angeles but Bruce the
Boomer is still very much around.

career record of 38 touchdowns
set by Doak Walker of SMU
(1945-49) and not-so-easy dis
tance of the season record of 20
touchdowns held by Jim Swink
of TCU (1955).
And Jerry Don Sanders firmly
entrenched his size 6-D shoe at
the head of the all-time SWC
field-goal list. The husky Texas
Tech senior booted his 10th and
11th three-pointers of the season
in the 41-7 victory over Baylor to
erase the previous season record
of nine he held with Texas’ Tony
Crosby 1963) and Tech’s Kenny
Vinyard (’67).
Gary Hammond of SMU and
Gordon Utgard of Baylor, one
of whom will own the one-season
kickoff return yardage record,
continued well ahead in that cate
gory. Hammond returned two for
48 yards to become the first SWC
player ever to return kickoffs
for more than 600 yards in a
season. He now has 617 yards,
while Utgard is at 576.
Linzy Cole scored his third
TD of the season on punt re
turns when he returned one 65
yards against Texas. He took over
the lead in that department by
three yards over Arkansas’ Terry
Stewart, 273 to 270, as Stewart
returned three for only four
yards.

nett increased his lead over run

mini-Mustang, 103 yards to 62.
Bertelsen, teammate Ted Koy and
Arkansas fullback Bruce Maxwell
remain the average leaders—Ber
telsen averaging 7.3 yards and
Maxwell and Koy 5.8.
National passing leader Chuck
Hixson of SMU padded his SWC
lead over TCU’s Steve Judy with
26 completions in 39 attempts
for 196 yards against Arkansas.
Hixson now has 2,160 yards pass
ing for the year and a 61.0 com
pletion percentage.
On the other end of Hixson’s
throws most frequently—six each
—were Hammond and Ken Flem
ing. Hammond held his receiving
lead with a total of 49, while
Fleming moved from fifth last
week to second with 35. Fleming’s
afternoon’s work also catapulted
him to a tie for fifth in SWC
career receptions with 88, leaving
the junior tight end in a position
to challenge Jerry Levias’ career
record of 155. Hammond’s 49 re
ceptions ties for the 11th best
in a single season with one game
to play.
