Sheffield booted for 41 and 52 yards against the Buckeyes for a 46.5 average to pass Southern Methodist University’s sophomore punter, Sam McClarty. McClarty has a 41.1 average on 17 kicks. The Aggies also held the lead in three other categories after statistics were released by the SWC office this week. Dave Elmendorf’s four punt returns for an 18.3 average gives Flag football to start in CS the senior from Houston the lead over Jerry Moore of Arkansas. Moore has a 14.2 yard return average on five returns. Elmen- dorf also had the longest return this season when he ran one back 31 yards against Wichita State. Sophomore quarterback Lex James held onto the total offense lead with his 271 yards passing against the Buckeyes. James now has 663 yards in three games for the lead over Eddie Phillips, who has 390 yards in two games. His 271 yards against OSU left him second to SMU’s passing whizz Chuck Hixson, however. Hixson completed only 13 of 24 passes for 150 yards last week. McElroy rates second in two categories, receiving and tandem offense. His 13 pass receptions for 318 yards is second to sopho more Raymond Mapps of SMU, who has caught 17 for 174 yards. In tandem offense McElroy has 359 yards which is second to Gary Hammond of the Mustangs. Homer May, who caught two touchdown passes from James against the Buckeyes ranks tenth in pass receiving having caught seven for 154 yards and three touchdowns. In team statistics, the Aggies lead in passing offense with an average of 271 yards per game which is well above SMU’s 206 yards per contest despite Hix son’s passing lead over James. That passing offense lead also is good enough to put the Aggies fifth in the nation in that depart ment. Play in the Bryan-College Sta tion Junior Flag Football League will get underway next week with prospects looking up for one of the best years ever for league according to David Nava, who is chairman for A&M students who work with the youths in the league. The league is open to boys in College Station from the ages of 6-12, Nava said. Nava pointed out that the par ents have been a tremendous help this year in organizing the league. Last year, he said, the league was run completely by Aggies and supported by donations from funds and from different organi zations. “We now have about 20 coaches, about half of which are Aggies,” he said, adding that any Aggies interested in helping with the youth league are urged to come out. The league will play in two areas on four different fields, Nava said, and again stressed the work done by parents to not only organize but get ground keepers, equipment managers and officials for the league. The league will play Monday through Thursday afternoons this fall and a similar league for basketball will be set up during the spring semester. Fish open season Wednesday at TCU CANTEBURY BELTS Hun 5tnrnce umbersitp men’g toear 329 University Drive 713/846-2706 College Station, Texas 77840 By JOHN CURYLO Battalion Sports writer “We don’t have as many boys as we have in past years, but they’ve been working hard and have a real good attitude.” This is Coach Jim Keller’s eval uation of his 1970 Fish squad, one week away from Wednesday’s season opener in Fort Worth. “We expect TCU to have one of their biggest freshmen teams ever,” Keller said. “They had a good recruiting year.” There is a lack of depth on the squad, with 31 of the 50 players being on scholarship. The biggest depth problem is among the line men. The team has more backs than linemen, and a good number of the reserve linemen are non scholarship players. “It looks like we’ll be throw ing quite a bit,” Keller said. “We have a good quarterback in Tim Trimmier (San Antonio Lee) and some excellent receivers in split ends Bobby Hughes and Eric Elkins. Our flankers, Bobby Mer- ren and Grady Harris, also catch the ball real well.” Dwight LaBauve and Pat Her ring are the running backs for the Fish. Both are 6’1 and 180 pounds. Herring is from Beau mont South Park, while LaBauve played high school ball in La fayette, La. In the offensive line, Keller lists tackles Keith Rice and Kevin Smith, guards Mike Cady and Richard Semands, and center Darrell Taliaferro as his top play ers. Both tight ends are players without scholarship. They are Mike Bruden and Roger Gaskamp. Defensively, Marhsall Jackson, 6’3 and 200, and Kevin Owen, 6’3 and 210, are the ends, with Rusty Pool expected to paly a lot also. The guards are Bill Williams and Mike Stautzenberger. Williams is 6’0 and 190, and Stautzenberger is 5Tl and 210. Middle linebacker is Billy Wie- bold and Jimmy Tinsley. Charles Murphy and Steve Wood will share time at right linebacker. In the secondary, Keller will go with Charlie Billingsley and Chris Hentzen at the corners, Bill Nutt or Terry Savage at strong safety, and Mark Green at free safety. Nutt will handle the punting. The place kicking will be shared by Merren and non-scholarship players Tom Shirk and Jeff Pol- licuff. The first game is against the TCU Wogs in Fort Worth Oct. 7. The Baylor Cubs in Waco Oct. 15 and the Texas Tech Picadors in Lubbock Nov. 5 are the Fish games away from home. The two home games are against the Rice Owlets Oct. 29 and the Texas Shorthorns Nov. 20.
