Page 4 College Station, Texas Friday, October 16, 1970 THE BATTALION HE BAH/ TCU Frogs, Aggies collide in crucial SWC battle 1 By CLIFFORD BROYLES Battalion Sports Editor No football team has ever won the Southwest Conference crown with two losses, so Saturday night when the Texas Aggies and Texas Christian Horned Frogs clash on Kyle Field, it will mean virtual elimination for the loser and new life for the winner, as both suf fered humiliating defeats in their conference openers. The Aggies were bumped by Texas Tech 21-7 last week and the Horned Frogs were handed a 49- 14 dumping by the Arkansas Ra- zorbacks two weeks ago. Neither team has been as suc cessful as preseason speculation had hoped with the Aggies sport ing a 2-3 record and TCU a 1-3-1 standard. Both opened with wins, the Ags 41-14 over Wichita State and TCU 31-7 over the University of Texas at Arlington. But since then A&M has managed only a win over LSU to go with three losses, and TCU a tie with Wisconsin and three losses. Youth is a standard for both teams, with the Aggies having nine sophomores in the starting lineup and eight more on the second unit. The Frogs have 12 as starters and 13 more listed in the second unit. A&M Coach Gene Stallings said linebackers Steve Luebbehusen and Dennis Carruth, who have been injured, will suit out but he didn’t know how much they will play. Second unit offensive guard Oscar Castillo will miss the game because of a hip pointer. Beam knows it can be done: remembers 67 If they gave a medal for cour age in Southwest Conference football the likely winner would be Texas A&M’s Winston Beam. It’s not that Beam goes bear hunting with the switch or any thing like that. It’s just that he has endured more pain and physi cal setbacks than a dozen players should. Beam, a robust six-footer who weighs 253 pounds, has endured five knee operations since coming to Texas A&M. “I’d undergo that many more if it meant I could play football,” he says. Coach Gene Stallings said this past summer: “If either Winston or I had any sense, he wouldn’t be playing. One of us should be able to figure out that he should n’t be playing football. But the game means a lot to him and he wants to play and if anyone wants to play that much I’m not going to stop him . . . even though I think I should. Winston was shifted to offen sive guard this year to avoid all that blocking on his legs. But he just isn’t quick enough to do the job so now he has moved back to defense and he saw some action last week at defensive guard against Texas Tech. Winston played his schoolboy football at Odessa High and was a highly sought prospect. He made W Mis Winston Beam the super all-state team his senior season and was a rugged, contact player. He was first hurt after coming to Texas A&M and it has been a series of operations since. Perhaps no Aggie in history has wanted to play football more than Winston Beam. No one real ly knows the pain he has endured and the work he has done to get in shape after each operation. He is the quiet type who goes about his business without mak ing a big thing of it. Winston is one of four seniors on the 1970 Aggie squad and he wants to close out his college career on a successful note. The Tech loss hurt him because he hails from West Texas and knows a lot of the Red Raiders. But, like all other Aggies, he also knows the season is not over. He was a member of the 1967 A&M squad that lost its SWC opener and then came back to win the championship. He konws from experience that it can be done. No one will be trying harder to make history repeat than Win ston Beam.

He too thought Tech had a fine team and played an excel lent game. Joey is the son of Mr. and Mrs. H. R. Herr Jr. His father works for Boeing Missiles and his mother is an interior decorator for a Fort Worth furniture store. A lot of older ball clubs might get down in the dumps over such a loss as the one last week to Texas Tech but that is not likely to happen to the young Aggies. A hard week’s work and they’ll be ready to go into the arena again and face TCU this coming Saturday. Since TCU is from Herr’s home town, Joey would like to have a big game against the Frogs. And, he might just do that, too. Squadron 10 Joey Herr the team’s punting. He still can boot the ball but doesn’t work at it much anymore since Jimmy Sheffield and Mitch Robertson are on hand.

As for the early games against big, tough foes, that was fine with Herr. “You learn more by playing good teams,” he says.

The game matches two of the SWC’s talented young quarter backs in the Aggies’ Lex James and TCU’s Steve Judy. James has completed 64 passes for 960 yards and 4 touchdowns, while Judy has passed for 744 yards on 65 com pletions. Last season Judy and the Frogs marched to a 16-6 win over A&M with Judy passing for 183 yards and one touchdown and he also ran for the other TCU score. James will be joined in the backfield by fullback Doug Neill, who has led the Aggie rushers the last two weeks, and Steve Burks, the team’s leading rusher for the season with 243 yards. Both players and safety Dave Elmendorf were given Wednes day off from practice because of their consistently good play this season. Sophomore Brad Dusek, whom Coach Stallings said ear lier this week is nearly back to full strength, will be at left half back. The offensive line will be the same, with Benny DeWitt and Andy Philley at the tackles and Jim Parker and Leonard Forey at the guards. Mike Park will be at center with Ted Smith see ing considerable action. Lenard Millsap, who has not played since the Wichita State game because of an injury, will be ready to go. Millsap was play ing between the first and second teams before his injury. The TCU offense has two flashy sophomore backs and two first year offensive guards, with the key man in the offensive line being center John Ruthstrom, an All-American candidate. Rhodes, who was freshman of the year in the Southwest Con ference last year, has performed admirably—rushing for 231 yards, catching three passes for 51 yards and returning six punts for 48 yards and 9 kickoffs for 262 yards. Sophomores Guy Morriss and Lloyd Draper will line up beside Ruthstrom in the offensive line and seniors Gerald Kirby and Dean Wilkerson will flank them at the tackles. James’ two favorite receivers will be working at the ends: Hugh McElroy, who has caught 17 passes for 369 yards, and Homer May, who has caught 14 passes for 240 yards. Tight end Frankie Grimmett is Judy’s favorite target, having hauled in 19 catches for 195 yards and sophomore Ronnie Peo ples, who has caught two for 43 yards will see a lot of action. The Frogs’ second leading receiver Lane Bowen has caught 17 for 274 yards and will line up at split end. Letterman John Hetherly also is expected to see a lot of action, although he has been out with an ankle injury. Defensively the Aggies will go with three sophomores in the front four and a veteran second ary, while the Frogs have only two sophomores in a five-man front wall but four in the de fensive secondary. Ends Todd Christopher and Max Bird and guard Gary Mar tin line up with veteran Van Odom to make up the defensive line. Mike Lord will key the line backing corps from the middle linebacking spot, while sopho mores Grady Hoermann and Kent Finley will move from the other posts. Free safety Dave Elmendorf, who leads the Aggies with three interceptions and three fumble recoveries, will key the defensive secondary. David Hoot will line up at strong safety and Ed Ebron and Bland Smith at the backs. cornet- By JOHN CURY Assistant Sports The Aggie Fish Right defensive end Bob Creech g ame to the .
