Throwing over K heads of the receivers and olio 16 jun ying the passes wouldn’t two nBe happened had Mark (Green) will k Myed and practiced more.” fter the 17-0 loss to Cincin- i Saturday night, many people |nder what has happened to the Stallings indicated at his more jBekly news conference Tuesday igineers ®t he doesn’t doubt his squad’s ection J^ty. B'We’re practicing as good now B we have all year,” he ex- TS’jS ined - “ The Cincinnati * ame , .y 1 ® bbably made people appreciate an inga r j arneS( on ]y because of the ICieritlsts!i >xperience of Mark and Tim immier. Injuries have hurt Lex, t he worked out Monday and Quid be ready for the Texas ch game.” The coaching staff gave out ■ stars this week, indicating ■tstanding play in the last ■me. Defensively, Boice Best, ■eve Luebbehusen and Lee Hitt Bn stars. Best got his for what Ballings called “good pass rush- Bf and outstanding plays on the Barterback.” The Houston jun- i also recovered a fumble. Lueb behusen made 17 tackles and Hitt intercepted a pass, his third this year, tying him with two other players for the conference lead. On offense, two linemen were cited, in addition to Hugh McEl- roy. Todd Christopher had 15 knockdowns while blocking from his left guard spot, and center Robert Gerasimowicz had 13. McElroy earned his for the punt return that was called back. “I’m not penalizing him for a bad call by the referee,” Stallings said. “We’ve run the game film over and over again, and there wasn’t a clip on the play. We think Mac deserves a star, be cause that was a good run. He’s a threat every time he gets his hands on the ball.” Elaborating on the officiating in the game, Stallings explained that judgement calls are just that, and this one was a bad break for the Aggies. “They (the referees) will make some and they’ll miss some,” he said. “There’s not too much that can be said when they think there’s a penalty and you don’t. It’s one of those things.” A&M had six fumbles in the game, and several times, there were apparent breakdowns in the blocking, but Stallings said that a lot of offsensive players grad ed high, but not all of them at the same time. He added that there was some confusion on the signal for the center to snap the ball. “A lot of times we were going on first sound,” the coach said, “and Cincinnati’s defensive play ers were hollering, trying to con fuse things. I’d say it happened about eight or nine times. It was frustrating to the offensive line, and it caused fumbles. The quar terback wasn’t ready for the ball, but the center had to snap it, or we’d be off sides. I talked to the officials about it, but they never called a penalty.” No players were hurt in the Cincinnati game, and James, Mike Lord, and James Dubcak are ex pected to be ready for the Texas Tech game. In comparing this game to LSU, Stallings said that LSU was more disappointing, be cause the team did some good things this time, and they “didn’t do anything well against LSU.” In the Texas Tech Red Raiders, A&M will be facing a team that also has a 1-3 record, offensive problems, and a good defense. “Tech is better than their rec ord indicates,” Stallings said. “They’re getting some of their injured people back, too. They played a good game against Tex as, and this should be a defensive battle. Our kicking game will be very important. This should be a fine ball game. I’m glad I’m going to see it.” Numerous stories and remarks have appeared about the lack of support the defense is getting from the offense, and Stallings was asked if there was any ani mosity or dissension on the team about it. “No, and there won’t be either,” he said. “There’s no hostility, be cause it’s all A&M, not offense or defense.” BACK TO PASS in Saturday’s Cincinnati game is sophomore quarterback Tim Trimmier (11). The San Antonio Lee product completed seven aerials for 109 yards. Applying pressure for the Bearcats are Ron Bryant (74) and Randy McBride (78). (Photo by Mike Rice) Big car insurance dividends?

JOU officials announced Mon- ly that the NCAA had forbid- Kn televising Saturday’s Cotton fcwl clash because it would con flict with several other Oklahoma Allege games. |Hall termed the NCAA ban | Tie Studio i p. m. ■ ilclll L wmm “arbitrary” and, in a telegram to Walter Byers, executive direc tor of the NCAA, urged the blackout be lifted. To support his plea, Hall of fered these three points: One — “Your reported conclu sion that televising this game would detract from the attend ance of games in Oklahoma is disagreed upon by this office , and others in Oklahoma. We would expect negligible changes in at tendance patterns at these games.” Two—“By televising the game in Texas, many loyal Oklahoma fans will be driving to that view ing area at great expense and will add to already heavy hazardous highway traffic conditions. Per sonal safety of Oklahomans is involved.” Three—“The many people in Oklahoma have recently made ad ditional financial contributions to the state to support education. One of the tangible benefits is the enjoyment of watching teams of our universities compete.” By The Associated Press Texas, No. 3 behind Nebraska and Michigan again this week in The Associated Press College football poll, takes on No. 8 Okla homa in one of two games be tween ranked teams Saturday. The Longhorns, who swamped Oregon 35-7 last Saturday, held onto third place with three first place votes and 818 points, just 68 behind Michigan which re ceived five No. 1 votes from a national panel of 55 sports writ ers and sports broadcasters. National champion Nebraska, which has been No. 1 since the season began, garnered 43 first place ballots and 1,058 points after blitzing previously unbeat en Utah State 42-6. Auburn and Colorado received two top votes each to move up one notch to No. 4 and No. 5 re spectively. Notre Dame, which had slipped from second to fourth in the previous poll, skidded to seventh despite a 14-2 victory over Michigan State. The other undefeated teams in the Top Ten are No. 6 Alabama, No. 9 Penn State and No. 10 Georgia. The other Saturday contest between ranked teams pits No. 11 Washington against No. 19 Stanford. Stanford plunged from 10th place last week after losing to Duke 9-3, now No. 14, while Washington moved up from 15th with a 52-14 trouncing of Illinois. Southern California, with a 2-2 record after a 33-20 loss to Okla homa, was dropped from the rankings and was replaced by No. 20 Toledo, 4-0 after squeezing past Ohio 31-28 for its 27th straight victory spanning three seasons. No. 12 Arizona State and No. 18 North Carolina are the only other unbeaten teams in the lower bracket. The Top Twenty teams, with season records: 1. Nebraska .4-0 2. Michigan 4-0 3. Texas .3-0 4.
