Baylor scouting report to face Wishbone against Baylor Saturday THE BATTALION Thursdaay, October 21, 1971 College Station, Texas Page 5 By MICHAEL RICE Battalion Sports Writer A&M will be facing the Wish bone this Saturday afternoon when the Baylor Bears come to Aggieland to fight it out in a Southwest Conference battle. Incorporating the new forma tion for the Bears on the Mon day before the Arkansas game, Coach Bill Beall’s footballers were able to net 172 yards against the SWC’s leading defense, Ar kansas. The quarterback spot for the Bears is still a question for Beall, as his number one man, Si South- all, has been running with an in jured thigh. Last year, Southall hit 56 of 160 for 905 yards and five TD’s, the major part of Baylor’s aerial yaidage. The man behind South- all will probably be 195 pound Randy Cavender, who has less ex perience than Southall. Bench strength is a question mark in the Baylor lineup, with the Bears able to field a fairly decent starting team. At ends Beall’s got Bob Hardin (6-3, 205) and Ron Henson (195), who can catch the ball in a crowd. Both have one year of varsity experi ence. At the tackle spots return a pair of quality performers, Ron Evans (239) and Joe Allbright (235), and at the guards Barry Morgan (208) and David Walters (212) will be coming back to play fine football again. The center spot will see Mike Hale (226) and Carry Dorman (211) alternate the snapping to the quarterback. Hale has the determination to make up for his lack of speed. Matthew Williams, who was a strong contender for offensive sophomore of the year last sea son, gives the Bears a quality runner at tailback. Williams is tough to handle as he carried 208 times last season for 711 yards. His back up man will be 184- pound Preston Pitts. Other running backs include Bill Cornelius (202), Mike Chan dler (177), Godfrey White (195), and Gene Wilson (185). For the defensive side of the game, Baylor will be playing with a squad that is very aggressive, one comparable to the Aggie’s defense. At left end, Pat Nunn (206) will be throwing his weight around the field with his substi tute, Tom Fitzgerald (196), be hind him. Right end will include Wayne Trammell (193) and Rus ty Bundy (198). Tackles will include Glen Chme- lat (226), Mike Black (230), Gar ry Sutton (221), and Mike Wild er (205). Halfbacks on the field will be Roger Goree (200), Har old Rogers (218), Ed Taylor (212), and Paul Savage (224). Ira Dean (194), and Ricky Duff (171) will head the list in the cor- nerback slots along with Tommy Stewart (171) and Harlan Deem (184). Also in the backfield for the Bear’s defense will be Coach Beall’s son Phil, who weighs in at 180 pounds. He will move from the safety position. Overall, the Bears are compara ble to the Aggies. However, each team has only one win thus far in the season because of wither ing offensive units. With the use of the Wishbone, Baylor may be able to win only if the players using it have had enough prac tice in its employ. Clemente named Most Valuable Player NEW YORK (A*)—Roberto Cle mente, admitting he has suffered mental torment as a ballplayer, said Wednesday “I finally have peace of mind." “Well, here I am,” the Pitts burgh Pirates’ star said proudly at a downtown restaurant, where he was presented with a car by Sport Magazine as the Most Val uable Player in the World Series. “Now everyone knows the way Roberto Clemente plays. They saw me in the World Series," he added, cracking one of his infre quent smiles.

The press says I’m not a team player. “I believe I’m the best player in baseball today ...and I’m glad I was able to show it against Baltimore in the Series." Clemente, whose .414 average and outstanding outfield play helped the Pirates beat the Ori oles, four games to three, always wanted to be recognized as the Puerto Rican Babe Ruth, he says. He hopes to achieve a king- sized salary next year. “Money really means nothing to me,” he said, “but it will mean something if I am the highest paid player in the game. It will mean I am the best.” Clemente, whose salary the past season was in the $120,000 range and who estimates that he earns $150,000 a year including endorsements and other outside interests, said he expects to get his biggest raise ever next year.
