Coach Smith said that al though this is an exhibition, he looks for some real good matches. The team has been working out since 'the first day of school. The matches will utilize the 9- point tie break system recently used in the Davis Cup and U.S. Open matches. When a set be comes tied at 7-7, there is a “sudden death” playoff of the next 5 out of 9 points. This way, it is easier for a tournament to remain on schedule. Coach Smith said that the team would dress out and eat on the LSU campus Saturday and then watch the A&M-LSU foot ball game in Tiger Stadium Sat urday night.

He’s now got 14 i than the old mark with 10 ties still to play. [ixson’§ performance gives the SWC lead in total of fense and passing — just where he’s been since he first donned a Pony uniform. Texas Christian got an unex pected surprise in junior running back Bobby Davis, who went wild against UT-Arlington for 247 yards rushing — third best in SWC history — to sack up the rushing lead. Davis scored on two of his wanderings to also take the scor ing lead with 12 points. The Texas Aggies broke their all-time offensive record with a total offense of 552 yards, which also is a league record. 6 Aggies have best chance’ j Acetfl ms, Dtjt Hometfl r Socia Clubs, 8 iitions, i for Otfi ity, st' 8-12,1 1970.

Tx. 77840 By CLIFFORD BROYLES Saturday night marks the sixth try for Coach Gene Stallings for a victory over the Louisiana State University Tigers. Since Stallings has been here, the Aggies have lost four and tied one in the series that spans 33 previous meetings back to 1899 when the Aggies bombled the Bengals 52-0. “We have as good a chance to win with the people we’ve got as we’ve ever had,” said Stallings. He noted three of the past games were decidedly close when the Aggies had lesser talent. In four of the five games, the Aggies have been right with the Tigers. The losses have been by 13-12, 10-0 and 17-6 and the Aggies tied them 7-7 when Ed Hargett was sophomore. Only last year’s 35-6 whipping was by a large margin. To go along with his optimism for his young team, Stallings pointed out several factors which make the Tigers a powerhouse, at his weekly press conference Tuesday in the Letterman’s Lounge. “LSU will have as much depth as anyone in the country. We can’t substitute everytime they do but I think we have some people capable of playing this year.” Tommy Casanova, the Tigers’ All-America candidate at tailback, is a great running back, accord ing to Stallings. The junior runs the 100 in 9.7 and plays both offense and defense. He was an All-Southeastern Conference se lection last year as a defensive back. “They’ve seen us and we haven’t seen them,” Stallings said and the mentor considers this a disadvan tage. He said that he would rather be in the Tigers shoes of knowing what the other team is going to do. “Even though we have the game’s experience, they’ve seen what we do and we haven't seen them. All we know is what we’ve seen in films, and if they decide to pull something new on us we won’t know about and will have to adjust to it at the game after preparing all week for something else.” The Aggies will be wearing net jerseys again at Baton Rouge. The situation caused a contro versy last year but the Ags hope they have patched up the problem. Last season bfore the game the officials made the Aggies change from their net jerseys, which were used to combat the humidity of the southern Louisiana town, into regular jerseys because it conflicted with the Tigers’ jerseys. LSU was wearing their home white and it seems that the combi nation of the maroon net with white shoulder pads and num erals on the Aggie jerseys was causing a conflict in identity. The Aggies then changed to their regular jerseys but will be back this fall with their net jersels and have put a maroon T-shirt between the jersey and the shoulder pad to counteract the confusion. “We hope to call a little less plays for Lex,” Coach Stallings said but added that what they would do would be according to James’ needs in the game. Stallings had special praise for several players in their play against Wichita State, including placekicker Pat McDermott, who scored 11 points with his soccer style kicking.
