Newspaper Page TextPage 8 College Station, Texas Thursday, (September 24, 1970 THE BATTALION From Associated Press. Lord wins defense award By The Associated Press Oh, Mike Lord could have gone to Louisiana State on a scholar ship but that would have meant the Baton Rouge youngster, rath er small by Tiger standards, would have had to sit out a year as a redshirt. Instead, Lord went to Texas A&M and made LSU wish it had tried harder for the toy destroyer. Lord made 23 tackles, inter cepted a pass and recovered a fumble last Saturday night in Texas A&M’s 20-18 victory over LSU to earn junior Lord The Associated Press’ defensive-play- er-of-the-week laurels in the SWC. Edie Phillips, the Texas quar terback who ran California cross- legged in a 56-15 victory, just edged out Lord’s teammate, Ag gie quarterback Lex James, in the balloting for offensive player of the week. James threw a 79- yard touchdown strike to Hugh McElroy with 13 seconds remain ing in the pulsating victory over LSU. Middle linebacker Lord, who stands 6-feet and weighs 201- pounds, wasn’t courted heavily by LSU although he played at Broad moor High School in Baton Rouge. His parents now live in Fort Worth. “LSU has the stigmatism of being a big ball club,” Lord said. “I’m not very big. I was almost assured of a red shirt season with them. I didn’t want that. In a great sense, I felt I would not get to play very much for them.” Lord said the last-second vic tory was “The greatest feeling I've ever had coming off a foot ball field. I knew quite a few of the boys we were playing against. That made it especially nice. I think we may have sur prised them. We took the fight to them.” Of Lord’s tackles, 12 were un assisted. His recovered fumble on the LSU 11 set up the tying touchdown. And his interception on the A&M 27 shutdown what appeared to be a LSU touchdown drive in the opening period. Phillips, in his first game for the departed legend, Mr. James Street, ran for 129 yards in 9 carries and scored two touch downs. He also made good on 9 of 19 third down situations. For his first game as a starter, Phillips said “I wasn’t really that nervous . . . really . . . but my parents were. They couldn’t even sit together for making each other nervous.” O. Z. White, a big California defensive lineman, said “Phillips gets my respect. The big thing was the mental thing. He had the mental thing, man, and that’s what counts.” O. Z. has a point, particularly on one 11-yard touchdown play where Phillips appeared to have eyes in the back of his head. He turned up field and as he was being smashed by two Cal tac- klers he casually flipped back to fullback Steve Worster who rum bled across. The play was totally unre hearsed and didn’t even raise Tex as coach Darrell Royal’s eye- Bowling team begins season in Lubbock The Texas A&M bowling team opens its 1970 season Saturday when it travels to Texas Tech for its opening round of the Texas Intercollegiate Bowling Congress season. The Aggies will play nine games at meets held at Rice, the University of Texas at Austin, Southwest Texas State, the Uni versity of Houston and South Texas Junior College this fall as well as hosting their own meet Oct. 17 at the Triangle Bowl. Bowling for A&M Saturday will be Howard Creek, Chuck Litterer, Randy Vick, Larry Brill, Don Rockwell and Ray Keefe. The team is a part of the recreation committee of the Memorial Stu dent Center. A spokesman for the team said that representatives of the bowl ing team are selected from the top six averages at the close of each week of play in the Aggie All-Star bowling league at the Triangle Bowl. That league bowls every Thurs day evening, he said. For a student to represent A&M in the bowling meets, how ever, he must have at least a 2.0 grade point ratio and not be on any scholastic probation. This eliminates first freshmen because they have no GPR. brows. “He seemed to have control,” Royal said. Said Phillips: “I tried it one time in practice, but fumbled. I guess I just had more confidence in the game.” Worster said of Phillips “He runs crooked and that’s some thing I can’t do. He’s just great.” And Phillips, who understudied Street to the national champion ship last year, said his friends in hometown Mesquite, Tex., “were wondering if I ever was going to play.” Other vote getters on offense included McElroy and Matthews Williams of Baylor who scored on a 30-yard touchdown gallop in the Bears’ 10-7 upset of Army. The other defensive vote getter was defensive back Bruce Bush- ong of Texas Tech. From UPI James wins award Mike Lord Lex James Lex James, whose sterling passing performance and last- second touchdown bomb to Hugh McElroy against LSU last week helped the Texas Aggies to an upset of the 12th ranked Tigers, has been named by United Press International as the Southwest Conference back of the week and also the quarterback on UPI’s national backfield of the week. James completed 20 of 42 pass es for 314 yards against the Tigers in leading the Aggies to a 17-point fourth period rally their 20-18 win. “Lex showed a lot of poi against LSU. We’re pleased ill his progress,” said Coach Gti Stallings of his young quartj back’s performance. “I didn’t think our would mature this fast.” Joining James on the nafa backfield were Joe Ordunaofi braska, Lydell Mitchell of Pi State and Dennis Allan of Ntj Dame.
