One drives a factory sponsored Ford, the other pilots a Dodge. However, off the track the Allison brothers, Donnie and Bobby, of Hueytown, Ala., are members of a close knit family whose interest lies in the fast fraternity of NASCAR stock car racing. The two professional drivers are among the most popular and easy going of the entries for Texas Interntional Speedway’s $93,150 race on December 7. Donnie Allison, the younger brother, recently ran a series of DONNIE ALLISON BOB ALLISON tests at the new banked two-mile oval in the Banjo Matthews’ 1969 Ford he will drive in the Texas 500. Following his tests the 30 year old was emphatic about the facility. “Man, this is a race track!” he exclaimed. “It is wide and smooth which means we will be able to race, really race, anywhere on the track even though it is a fast track. “I liked the Michigan Speedway (at Jackson), which is laid out pretty much like this, but now I‘m looking forward to December 7. I’d always heard that Texas has the best of everything and it’s sure true concerning race tracks. “I want to beat all the other guys but extra ’specially my brother, Bobby. He is good and I respect his ability but I love to beat him,” stated the winner of the National 500 at Charlotte where the Allisons finished one- two on their mother’s birthday. Bobby Allison will drive the 1969 Dodge prepared by Mario Rossi in the premier NASCAR Grand National event for the track and state. The former National Modified Champion of NASCAR (four times) will be seeking his sixth win of the year and the first triumph on a super speedway for Dodge this year. He would also like to add the $15,600 first place money to the $65,765 he has won during the current campaign. The 32 year old Bobby is also looking forward to the Texas “From what Donnie has toll about the track, I figure thisi should be one of the best,] competitive events of thisot other season with a lot of by side, bumper to bumper ing,” he remarked. “Of cut the man I want to beatisl brother’,” Bobby added wi: smile. r Breaks May Play Big Part In Longhorn-Hog Contest AUSTIN (A*)—Top-ranked Tex as and No. 2 Arkansas are so evenly matched that a single 5-yard penalty could tilt the “tender balance” in their nation ally televised game next Satur day, Longhorn coach Darrell Royal said Monday. The winner probably will be decided by how well each team plays inside its 20-yard line, Royal told a news conference. Contrary to what most are ex pecting, Royal said he doesn’t think the game will be high- scoring. “I don’t think either team will fall apart—not totally—it will be nip and tuck right from the start. I don’t think there will be a lot of scoring,” said Royal. “They have a good defense, but so do we. “They’ll be on our goal line, and we’ll be on their goal line. ... or those are the odds. They’ll get down there some way, and we’ll get down there some way. . . . It’ll come down to how well you play inside the 20.” Arkansas leads the nation in defense against scoring, yielding 6.8 points a game. Texas is sec ond to San Diego State in scoring with 44.4 points a game. The Arkansas defense, Royal said, “is no flash in the pan . . . They are exceptionally quick, and they have enthusiasm—that helps —they know what they’re doing and they have good athletes. . . .” Royal said the Razorbacks, averaging 35.4 points a game, “are just a step behind us in scoring” an dthe Longhorn de fense against scoring—9.8 points a game—is not far behind Ar kansas. “It’s a hoss and a hoss now ... A toss-up,” said Royal, “just which one you want to pick. There’s very little to choose from in the contest.” A SURE TWO POINTS He said he wanted his squad to concentrate on their four basic running plays—“our bread and butter, the whole guts of our offense”—to cut down on possible mistakes. Senior Mike Heitmann takes aim from the corner ini ?over night’s basketball scrimmage, which was won by the! sity 73-58 over the Aggie Fish. Heitmann lead all scon nent ’ with 24 points. The Aggies open their season Thursi ^ 8 here against Northwestern Louisiana State College. (Pkf 4 by Mike Wright) TEXAS AGGIES Number ONE in the Nation THAT’S RIGHT!
