Ag Fish host quarterback-strong Baylor Cubs tonight
By BILL HENRY
Assistant Sports Editor
Riding the arm of all-state
quarterback Robert Armstrong,
the Baylor Cubs will visit the
Texas A&M Fish in Kyle Field
tonight at 7:30 p.m.
The Cubs come here with a
0-1 record after last Thursday
night’s loss to the Texas Year-
lings, 44-7. The Fish stand un
defeated with last week’s de
cisive victory over the TCU Wogs,
24-13.
Baylor’s strong point this sea
son is its superb quarterbacks.
The Cubs list six on this year’s
freshman roster, five of which
have made all-state. Robert Arm
strong, the Cubs’ starting signal
caller, was touted last spring as
one of the state’s top football
candidates. Armstrong hails from
the same high school as Aggie
quarterback Lex James, Houston
Sam Houston.
“I look for Baylor to pass a
lot,” stated Fish coach Jim Kel-
lar. “Armstrong was probably the
best in the state last year. They
are also blessed with good re
ceivers.”
Baylor works pretty equally
between the run and the pass,
as shown in the Texas game, as
it picked up eight first downs
rushing and nine passing. The
yardage was 114 yards rushing
and 196 passing.
Neal Jefferey, 6-1 175, from
Overland Park, Kan., leads the
team in passing by hitting seven
of 14 for 124 yards with two in
terceptions. Armstrong, 5-11, 193,
leads the team in rushing with
17 carries for 52 yards. He is
second in passing, hitting eight
of 19 with four interceptions.
Jeffery alternates with Arm
strong at the quarterback slot.
Karl Ray, 5-10, 170, from Beau
mont South Park, leads the Cub
receivers with five receptions for
95 yards. Lloyd Kitchen takes the
runner-up spot with five recep
tions for 48 yards.
In last week’s game against
Texas, the Cubs’ big problem was
the number of mistakes. Baylor
gave up six turnovers, all on in
terceptions, with Texas gaining
183 yards in returning them.
The score is not indicative of
the way Baylor played. Up until
the fourth quarter, the Cubs were
very much in the game. They
picked up 310 yards to Texas’ 400
and picked up 17 first downs to
the Yearlings’ 21.
“To beat Baylor, we must stop
their quarterbacks,” stated Kel-
lar. “We’ve got to get a good pass
rush on Armstrong and Jeffrey
and not let them complete as
many passes as they did last week
against Texas.”
Kellar was pleased with the
performance of the Fish in last
week’s victory over TCU, who is
blessed with as many blue chip
players as is Baylor.
“I was real pleased with the
aggressiveness of the kids,” Kel
lar said. “We’ve got to hold onto
the football and quit getting our
passes intercepted, though, to win
football games.”
This week’s starting line-up
will be the same as last week for
the Fish. Offensive starters will
be: A1 Thurmond, spit end; Mike
Bertirotti, left tackle; Russell
Waddell, left guard; Ricky Seek
er, center; Rusty Cook, right
guard; John Streckfuss, right
tackle; Monty Bice, tight end;
Don Dean, quarterback; Sidney
Fielder, tailback; Allen Anderson,
fullback, and Ricky Ford at wing-
back.
The defensive alignment will
consist of: Paul Hulin, left end;
Don Long, left tackle; Dennis
Henderson, middle guard; Ted
Lamp, right tackle; Francis Cook,
right end; Euger Deets, lineback
er; Bill Cazales, linebacker; Mike
Newton, left cornerback; Joe
Scott, right cornerback; Doug
Jordan, strong safety, and Steve
Canter, free safety.

Aggies head west
to water polo games
The Texas A&M Water Polo
Club will travel to the University
of New Mexico this weekend for
a water polo tournament Satur
day in Albuquerque.
The team, which is coached by
Dennis Fosdick, is 3-0 for the
season, having defeated the Uni
versity of Texas in the process.
Fosdick feels that his men
yet by the young Aggie ball
players.
“The team should learn a lot
more than it has already,” Fos
dick said. “This should prepare
the boys very well for the South
west Water Polo Championships
which will be held here in No
vember.”

More changes made by Oiler coach
in effort to end Houston’s losing streak
* " i ijr
Les Hamman and Fred Myers
HOUSTON UP) —The Houston
Oiler backfield took on more
changes Wednesday when head
coach Ed Hughes moved rugged
Leroy Sledge into the starting
fullback slot.
Sledge, a highly touted prospect
hampered by injuries since train
ing camp started, moved ahead
of second year man Joe Dawkins
and will join rookie quarterback
Dan Pastorini, who also will be
making his first start for the
Oilers.
There also was the possibility
of a third new face in the Oilers’
starting backfield for Sunday’s
battle against Detroit in the As
trodome.
Starting running back Woody
Campbell is questionable for the
game with a groin injury. Hughes
said if Campbell could not go,
he’ll start either Mike Richard
son, or rookie Ward Walsh.
Sledge came closest to being
a threat in last week’s 22-13 loss
to unbeaten Washington. Sledge
rushed for 31 of Houston’s 46
yards and caught a 5-yard touch
down pass.
Getting an offensive attack
moving consistently continues to
be a major problem with the
Oilers, still looking for their first
victory of the season after three
losses and one tie.
“The defense has played several
games well enough to win,”
Hughes said. “We’re just making
mistakes on offense. After look
ing at the films, you can see it’s
just a matter of a running back
not hitting the hole or someone
missing a block.”
Hughes announced Tuesday he
would start Pastorini, the only
one of his three quarterbacks who
has not started. Veteran Charley
Johnson has started three games
and rookie Lynn Dickey started
one.
Pastorini, who does the Oiler
punting and is fourth in the
American Conference, played an
outstanding second half against
Kansas City.
Other Oiler injuries, linebacker
George Webster and tackle Walt
Suggs, remained questionable for
the Detroit game with knee in
juries. Guard Ron Saul also was
doubtful.
should come out fairly well in
this competition, but he doesn’t
know just how well because he
doesn’t know anything about the
other teams entered.
“I would think that we should
have been seeded at least in the
top two teams in the tourna
ment,” said Fosdick, “but I sup
pose the other teams knew noth
ing about us. So New Mexico has
been seeded first, with Brigham
Young University in second.”
The A&M squad will play its
first game against the team from
Northern Colorado at 8:30 and
hopefully will go on farther in
the competition. Every team will
play at least three games in the
tournament.
Other teams entered in the
competition will be the Univer
sity of Arizona and the Univer
sity of Wyoming.
The competition in the tourna
ment should be the toughest faced
gies includes Steve Engle, at the
goalie spot; Les Hamman, Fred
Myers, Steve Prentice, Mike
Hicks, Steve Sonnenberg, and
Eric Wolff.
