Green, a sophomore from Odessa, played part of the third and all of the fourth quarter against the national champion Cornhuskers. He carried 14 times for a total of 66 yards, but 23 yards lost made his net 43. The 6-3, 218 pounder also completed three of five passes for 17 yards. “I thought he did a good job,” Stallings said. “Naturally, he was a little excited, since it was his first time out. He turned two or three relatively bad plays into good plays. He’s still not com pletely healed after that foot in jury, and I hadn’t intended on playing him against Nebraska. I was going to wait until this week to put him in.” James’ injury is similar to the one that kept him out of some of the fall drills for about 2 1 / & weeks. Stallings said that doc tors wanted to avoid it being dis located again because surgery might be required the next time. James Dubcak, Joey Herr, Bruce Best, and Mike Lord are still not practicing, due to previ ous injuries, and four players, including James are m i s s i n g workouts because they got hurt against Nebraska. But Trammell has a severely sprained knee, and Cliff Thomas also has a knee injury, but it is not as serious. Bland Smith is injured, too, but Stallings said that he would probably be ready to play this week. On the brighter side, Butch Kamps practiced Monday for the first time after re-hurting his knee, and Dennis Carruth played against the Cornhuskers after re covering from a leg broken in the spring. Eight players were awarded stars for their performances Sat urday in Lincoln. Van Odom and Hugh McElroy received two each. “Van played one of the best games he’s had since he’s been here,” Stallings explained. “He got one star for a good game and one for displaying fine lead ership. “Mac got one for the kickoff return that went all the way,” he continued “and he got the other for the 51 yard punt return that nearly broke. He nearly broke another, but he slipped. The same thing happened to Little Cliff.” Mike Bunger won a star for making a tackle on the 12 yard line on a kickoff and for making the key block on McElroy’s touchdowns. Bill Wiebold, the starting noseguard this week, made 14 tackles, and Grady Hoer- mann was in on 19 tackles, to win their citations. Brad Dusek made 14 tackles and caused a fumble, Lee Hitt intercepted a pass and had 11 tackles, and Smith caused a fum ble, recovered another, and block ed a conversion attempt, giving them their awards. “Some of the offensive players didn’t have a bad game,” Stall ings said, explaining why McEl roy was the only member of that unit to get a star. “It’s just that they didn’t play well enough to win one.” He pointed out that Nebraska has a good defensive team, but that he was not pleased with the offense last week. “We never protected the pass er well,” the coach said. “The quarterback always looks like he’s throwing for his life. It’s not a lack of effort, they’re just getting whipped. “We’re just about at the point where we’re a good football team,” he continued. “The de fense is good, and the offense will be after this week.” Cincinnati will be A&M’s 93rd different opponent. Stallings said that they were the first team he has scheduled, with the exception of Wichita State. “I think they’re pretty good myself,” he explained. They’re a running club, primarily, and they will play good defense. They have several people who’ll hit you and separate you from the ball. They’re pretty impressive.” To date, the Aggies have play ed before 166,149 people, includ ing 67,993 in Lincoln and 68,576 in Baton Rouge. This week’s projected attendance is not yet known, but Stallings commented on the Nebraska crowd. “It was an excellent turnout,” he said of the Cornhuskers’ 20th straight home sellout. “Every body wore red, and I think that’s great. The people weren’t hos tile, either. I expect a pretty good crowd for Cincinnati, but I don’t know exactly how large it will be.” THE BATTALION Wednesday, September 29, 1971 College Station, Texas Page 9 DID JIMMY DOOLITTLE FLY WITH THE TEXAS A&M AERO CLUB ?

Notre Dame’s fourth-quarter 8-7 squeaker over Purdue sent the Irish reeling from second to fourth while Michigan jumped from fourth to second in the wake of 38-0 pounding of UCLA. Nebraska’s defending national champions, 34-7 winners over Texas A&M, received 44 first- place votes and 1,064 points from a 55-man nationwide panel of sports writers and broadcasters. That was 224 points more than Michigan’s 840. Last week, Nebraska led run- nerup Notre Dame by only 42 points. The remaining 11 first-place votes were divided as follows: Michigan and Texas, three each; Auburn and Colorado, two, and Notre Dame, one. Texas held onto third place b-lvv Jnj ' nTilnoo yotn with a 28-0 rout of Texas Tech and Auburn’s 10-9 victory over Tennessee kept the Tigers fifth. Colorado, which beat Ohio State in Columbus 20-14, climbed from 10th to sixth place, sup planting the Buckeyes, who drop ped all the way to 14th. Alabama trimmed Florida 38-0 and moved from eighth to seventh while Oklahoma blasted Pitt 55-29 and leaped from 11th to eighth. Rounding out the Top Ten were Penn State and Stanford, winners over Iowa and Oregon by respective scores of 44-14 and 38-17. They ranked 12th and 13th a week ago. Arkansas, stunned by unher alded Tulsa 21-20, slipped all the way from seventh to 18th while Tennessee slipped from ninth to 12th. 1. Nebraska 2. Michigan 3. Texas 4. Notre Dame 5. Auburn 6.

It has been said that his sun-burned face is etched with the kinds of lines which tell a thousand stories of split-second decisions, most of them right. It is undoubtedly the face of a hero of considerable dimensions. It is also the face of Middle America. As a registered Republican, B.D. is a loyal backer of the current Administration, and claims a particular admiration for the Attorney General. He regularly buys Savings Bonds, hates minority groups from all walks of life, and once beat up an entire commune of hippies to commemorate the Fourth of July. To his credit, a healthy respect for honesty gives B.D. the integrity to face up to what he really is. He freely admits that his politics are heavily influenced by the Reader’s Digest, and he makes no apologies for his considered opinion of campus activists (“They stink.”). B.D. asks very little of life — his main ambition is to graduate and become an M.P. at Fort Leavenworth. Through a computer error, B.D. is Doones- bury’s roommate. cpoonesbury J.. ^ ^ j — Gary Trudeau’s wildly popular new cartoon strip featuring star quarter B.D., campus radical Megaphone Mark and would-be-lover Michael J.
