The Horned Frogs will start six sophomores with a half dozen more seeing a lot of action, while (!Iole-3Haan *"j SHOES 3im Stnrnca umbersfitp men’s tocar 329 University Drive 718/846-2706 College Station, Texas 77840 the Aggies will have eight start ing and 11 others who play regu larly. Aside from their youth, injuries also are similar to both teams, Coach Gene Stallings said at his weekly press conference Tuesday. “I don’t think they’re as good as Tech. They’ve been hit by injuries just like us.” Two of those injuries, to run ning back Bobby Davis and of fensive lineman J. R. Eubanks, came in the Arkansas game last week. Davis was the SWC leading rusher during the early part of the season and still ranked in the top five in the conference after the contest. Stallings counted the injury list from the Tech game and noted there were no serious ad ditions, although he added that five potential starters, Dennis Carruth, Steve Luebbehusen, Gary McCaffrey, Chris Johnson and Clifford Thomas were still unavailable. Guard Lenard Millsap, who has not played since the Wichita State game because of an injury, returned to practice for the first time since then Monday, Stallings said. Players who received less se vere injuries in the Tech game were Ed Ebrom, a neck injury, Hugh McElroy, a hip pointer, Mike Lord, a toe injury, and Andy Philley, a pulled muscle. Brad Dusek, who had been at less than full speed most of the season, is almost back to full speed, he said. “Dave Elmendorf always plays well. Doug Neill ran well and offensive tackle Benny DeWitt did a good job blocking but other than that I couldn’t see much we did good,” the coach said as he evaluated perfomances of the conference opener. Stallings said he was most im pressed by the way the Tech offensive line came off the ball, which was asserted by their 62 rushing plays for 362 yards. “I was really impressed with the way they came off the ball. We got whipped at the line of scrimmage.” “I think he’s a good quarter back. But I guess you hear the same thing every week. He did well against us last year and he’s a year older,” he said regarding TCU’s junior quarterback Steve Judy. He noted the Frogs’ 6-7 240 defensive tackle, Larry Dibble as being a good one. “They have good linebackers and I believe that after the South west Conference press tour this fall that many of the writers said their secondary was the best in the conference.” Stallings said he was not pleased with the Aggies’ running game which has averaged only 124 yards a game. The Aggies have gained only 620 yards in five games on the ground. “Yes, I’m disappointed in that and also that we’ve been dropped for losses totaling 209 yards while attempting to pass. “That 209 yards lost passing and seven interceptions takes away from the over 1,000 yards picked up by the passing game,” he said. :xes of V.

Ag cagers begin work Thursday By CLIFFORD BROYLES Battalion Sports Editor Although the start of the season is still six weeks away, when the Texas Aggie basketball team hosts the Stephen F. Austin State University Lumbeijacks Dec. 1, the Aggies and players on the other seven Southwest Conference schools will get going with officials workouts Thursday. Coach Shelby Metcalf will have 13 prospects on hand for workouts including, six returning lettermen, five promising sopho mores, one junior college transfer and one player who entered the service after his sophomore season at A&M and has come back to finish his eligibility. Returning lettermen will be Bill Cooksey, Rick Duplantis, Pat Kavanaugh, Steve Niles, Chuck Smith and Bobby Threadgill. The sophomores are Bob Gobin, Wayne Howard, Charlie Jenkins, Bill O’Brien and Jeff Overhouse. Tim Teichelman, 6-6, transfer from Blinn Junior College, and Mike Hazel, 6-7, back to finish his eligibility round out the prospects. Coach Jim Culpepper’s Fish basketballers will also begin drills Thursday. Lettermen lost off last year’s SWC runnerups include Mike Heitmann and Byron Chandler, the only senior lettermen and Jeff Watkins and Frank Farnsworth who transferred to other schools. * 4= * * * Coach Omar Smith’s freshman tennis team will try for its second win without a loss this season Wednesday when they travel to Waco to meet the Baylor Freshmen. Danny Courson, Jeff Carter, Bill Pecor, Kermit Smith and Mitch Barker will play for the Fish who opened their season with a 6-1 win over Central Texas Junior College. * * * * * Among the 43,075 fans on hand for the A&M-Texas Tech game Saturday were Texas Gov. Preston Smith and former President Lyndon Johnson, who also took in the Oklahoma-Texas battle in the Cotton Bowl Saturday afternoon. Coach Gene Stallings said after the game Saturday Texas Tech has done a good job of convincing people (their foes) they were better than Tech. “Tech has a fine football team, loaded with veterans, and I think behind Texas and Arkansas you have to figure Tech as next best.” Tech’s Charlie Napper, who completed 12 of 14 passes in the encounter and converted successfully on 14 of 17 third down plays, said that the Aggie defense wouldn’t let me throw anything but the short pass. They have a great secondary and with a couple of breaks could have had two more interceptions.” Napper was selected as the SWC offensive player of the week by the Associated Press, who’s weekly poll moved the Raiders into the top twenty for the first time (17th), for his efforts. His favorite receiver Johnny Odom, who caught five passes for 64 yards, was second in the ballotting. Tech defensive tackle Wayne McDermand and linebacker Mike Lord of the Aggies received votes for the defensive award, which was won by linebacker Randy Brahand of the University of Texas at Austin.

Groff reminded students ticket sales for the game of each week end on the Tuesday of that week and ticket sales for the next game begin on Wednesday with graduates and seniors being able to buy them; Thursday for juniors; Friday for sophomores; Monday for Freshmen and Tuesday for any students who missed their day.
