“It’s going to be awfully hard
to run against TCU,” Fish Coach
Jim Keller said in looking at
TCU’s size. “We’ll have to throw
and hope we can keep them off
our quarterback.”
In addition to Trimmier (6-4,
190), the Fish also have Mike
Rigsby, a 6-1 185-pounder from
Houston Smiley, at quarterback.
A&M also lists split ends Eric

With the exception of Trim

Battalion Sports Editor
With four games under their
belts, and an even split in the win
column, the Texas Aggies are
looking forward to Saturday’s
Southwest Conference opener with
Texas Tech.
The Red Raiders, led by new
coach Jim Carlen, have posted a
3-1 mark thus far this season.
Their lone loss came at the hands
6f the highly rated University
of Texas at Austin Longhorns.
They are a good veteran foot
ball team,” Coach Gene Stallings
said Tuesday of the Raiders at
his weekly press conference in the
Letterman’s Lounge.
“They have a lot of people
back from last year and they’ve
won three out of four, which def-
nitely will help their morale.”
The Red Raiders attack is led
by Charlie Napper, who is con
sidered the sparkplug of the team.
How far Charlie Napper goes, so
goes the Raiders.
Napper is just an adequate pas
ser, Stallings said, but he moves
the ball exceptionally well.
Reviewing the Michigan game,
be said, “I thought we played
good. Of course ybu play to win
and we didn’t.
‘With the exception of only a
couple of positions we showed a
marked improvement over last
week (Ohio State).”
In fact, Stallings said, he could
n’t single out one player who
didn’t play at least pretty good
in the contest which saw the
Aggies come to within a hair of
dumping the seventh ranked team
in the country.
“The hitting was exceptionally
hard,” the coach added, noting
that several sports writers from
across the country had talked
with him about the hard hitting
of the contest.
Michigan defense backs Bo
Rather and Tom Darden caused
considerable damage and provided
one of the few weak spots in the
Aggie playing.
Rather set up a missed field
goal try with a 44 yard putn re
turn and Darden got off returns
of 13, 18 and 8 yards in the con
test.
“Punt coverage and fumbles
were the most disappointing as
pects of our game,” he said.
“We played defense,” the coach
emphasized as he stressed the
fact that this was the most
satisfying aspect of the game for
him.
“We had allowed just so many
things to go wrong the week
before.”
“I thought Steve Burks and
Doug Neill ran exceptionally well.
Our offsensive line did a good job.
They’re getting better as the
season progresses.
The Aggies have now completed
one of the roughtest non-confer
ence schedules that you could
think up much less play and come
out with very few injuries and
a 2-2 record although most prog
nosticators had them ready for
a 1-3 record no matter what kind
of football they played.
The injury list is a bright spot
as the Aggies have received only
a few injuries since opening the
season.
Still sidelined, however, are
Clifford Thomas, Lenard Millsap
and Gris Johnson.
Linebackers Steve Luebbenhus-
en and Dennis Carruth will re
turn to practice this week, Stal
lings said.
“I don’t feel any different to
ward the conference race than I
did before the nonleague games,”
he said.
“I said from the statr I thought
this team would be one that would
improve from week to week, and
considering Michigan we def
initely did that. If we continue
to improve they we’ll win some
ball games and if we don’t then
we won’t.
The new blades vs. Horelce*
We wen.
In an independent test, some indepen
dent men shaved one side of their face
with a platinum or chromium blade.
They shaved the other side with our
Tripleheader 35T shaver.
When they finished shaving, we had
them feel their faces.
7 out of 10 said our Tripleheader
shaved them as close or closer than
either the platinum or chromium blade.
Some of the men were surprised.
But, frankly, we weren’t.
Because the Norelco Tripleheader is a
totally different kind of electric shaver.
It has three shaving heads that float,
to follow the curves of your face.
Our blades are rotary. So they shave
in every direction. (Because your beard
grows in every direction.)
And we make our shaving heads
ultra-thin. So it’s possible to get a
really close shave. And practically im
possible to nick or cut yourself.
The Tripleheader comes in a Cord and
a Rechargeable
model.
Either way, you
can’t lose.
played high school ball for Neder
land, and Harris is from Arling

Defensively, the Aggie line has
Kevin Owen and Marshall Jack-
son as the starters, with Rusty
Pool as the top substitute. Owen,
6-3 and 210, is a Jacksboro prod
uct. Jackson, .from Nederland,

Victoria, and he is 6-2 and 203.
The guards will be Billy Wil
liams, 6-0 and 190, and Mike
Stautzenberger, 5-11 and 215.

Sheffield holds
punting lead
Jimmy Sheffield maintained his
Southwest Conference puting lead
Saturday when he punted for a
41.2 yard average on eight kicks.
The Aggie punter now has a
41.3 average on 17 kicks to lead
defending NCAA punting cham
pion Ed Marsh of Baylor by a
yard and a half per kick in sta
tistics released this week by the
Southwest Conference office in
Dallas.
Top performances by Texas
Tech’s Marc Dove and SMU’s
Gary Hammond changed some of
the SWC stat leaders.
Dove returned four punts for
104 yards, including the longest
of the season, a fifty yarder, to
surpass last week’s leader (Dave
Elmendorf) with a 13.1 average
on eight returns and Jerry Moore
of Arkansas is second with a
mark of 14.0 on six returns.
Elmendorf is also third in kick
off returns with an average of
24.6 Sophomore Raymond Rhodes
of TCU leads in the category
with a 30.9 average.
Hammond took over the SWC
rushing lead with 157 yards
against Northwestern, and also
boosted his lead over Hugh Mc-
Elroy in tandem offense to 146
yards. Hammond has 546 yards
and McElroy 401 yards in four
games.
Lex James ranks third in pas
sing and second in total offense.
Bill Montgomery of Arkansas is
the total offense leader and James
trails Chuck Hixson of SMU and
Steve Judy of TCU in passing
statistics.
McElroy ranks fourth in re
ceiving with 16 catches and Hom
er May is eighth with 12 recep
tions. May has caught more TD
passes thany any received among
the leaders with three.
