I don’t know whether he’s like Sam (Sam Huff, former all-pro linebacker for the New York Giants and Washington Red skins) but I do know he’s mean.” He also reported that the UM secondary has intercepted seven passes in the first two games. It is led by defensive back Tom Darden who was voted the out standing defensive player in the opening game after making 13 tackles and an interception. The Aggies again will play on an artificial turf after taking on the LSU Tigers and Ohio State on the real thing. The Michigan stadium has Tar tan Turf, and Coach Stallings said he was pleased to be back on the artificial playing surface. “I’m glad we’re back on the turf. I guess I really got spoiled quick.” Stallings also noted the type of grass in Ohio. “It was a type of bluegrass. It had practically no root sys tem. The same type we played on last year at Nebraska.” The grass situation was brought up because several Ag gies had footing problems. He put a quick end to that situ ation by noting the Buckeyes had to play on the same grass to cover up any excuses. “They had an extremely good football team and we played bad defensively,” he said of the na tion’s number one-ranked team in both the United Press Interna tional and Associated Press weekly polls. “It’s not unusual to have one or two outstanding players on a team, but they had so many. They had five or six great ones. “We didn’t play well and still we had a chance. It was 27-7 there just before the half and we got down there ready to score again. Then we had those four straight turnovers in the second half and you’re not supposed to win when you do that.” Stallings said linebacker Den nis Carruth would practice Mon day for the first time in a month after recovering from a shoulder injury. He said also that Steve Leubbehusen, Chris Johnson and John Swedeen still will be side lined. “We didn’t get really hurt physically in the Ohio State game except maybe for feelings.’ With the Buckeyes’ convincing win and the University of Texas at Austin’s 22 point verdict over Texas Tech the battle rages for the top ranking in the polls. TU- Austin held the lead in the UPI rating last week but fell to sec ond in both polls this week. “It would be a good ball game. I’d like to see it,” the coach said of the possible meeting of the two powers. Discount Sale Welcome Back Aggies WELCOME FRESHMEN This Is Freshman.

DON’T DELAY! Bucks hold tight to top ranking By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS The State of Colorado has long been known for its altitude and this week it has two college foot ball teams reaching for the heights, as well. The University of Colorado and the Air Force Academy forced their way into The Associated Press’ list of Top Ten teams with impressive victories last Satur day. Colorado ended Penn State’s 31-game unbeaten string 41-13 and leaped from 18th to eighth while the Air Force trounced Mis souri 37-14 and jumped from 20th to 10th. The two losers were knocked out of the Top Ten and barely managed to find spots in the Second Tep. Penn State fell from fourth to 16th and Missouri sank from ninth to 20th. The 1-2-3 teams—Ohio State, Texas and Stanford—were the only members of the Top Ten to retain their positions from the previous week. Ohio State opened its season with a 56-13 rout of Texas A&M, Texas defeated Tex as Tech 35-13 and Stanford rallied to whip Oregon 33-10. The top-ranked Buckeyes re ceived 25 of the 42 first-place votes cast by sports writers and broadcasters across the country. Their 782 points was 24 better than the 758 polled by Texas, which received 14 first - place votes. The Longhorns only trailed by 13 points a week ago. Nebraska, eighth last week, was up to sixth after blanking Army 28-0 but Mississippi’s hard-fought 20-17 triumph over Kentucky dropped the Rebels from fifth to seventh. Then came Colorado; Michigan, which beat Washington 17-3 and went from 10th to ninth, and Air Force. The Second Ten consisted of Arkansas, Auburn, UCLA, West Virginia, Georgia Tech, Penn State, Alabama, Arizona State, North Carolina and Missouri. Auburn, Alabama, Arizona State, North Carolina replaced Houston, Florida, Oklahoma and Tennessee. The Top Twenty teams, with first-places votes in parentheses, and total points.
