THE BATTALION
Freshman stats deceiving for unblemished mark
By BILL HENRY
Standing in at two wins and no
losses, the Texas A&M Fish foot
ball team take the week off to
get ready for Rice on October 28
in Houston.
Statistics after two games are
not near as impressive as the rec
ord for A&M. In the two main
categories of first downs and
total offense, A&M is trailing 32-
30 in the first and barely leading
089-680 in the other. For amass
ing 57 points and allowing but 35
these stats are hard to compre
hend.
The answer lies in the type of
offense the Fish have been run
ning. The wide-open attack and
the ability to get the big play
have not enabled the Fish to gain
many first downs and lots of
total offense because they do not
have possession of the ball for
long periods of time.
The Fish hold a large margin
in total rushing yardage, 512-261
but are far behind in passing,
419-177. Neal Jeffery, Baylor
Cub quarterback, picked up al
most 300 yards of this total in
last Thursday’s game in Kyle
Field. A&M’s Don Dean has
thrown 26 times while completing
12 and has had three intercepted
for two touchdowns and the 177
yards.
Sidney Fielder and John Bounds
are neck-and-neck for the rushing
lead. Fielder has carried the ball
29 times for 229 yards, one touch
down and a 7.9 average. Bounds,
on the other hand, has carried the
ball 39 times for 194 yards, three
touchdowns and a 4.9 average.
Fielder has the longest run from
scrimmage with a 73-yarder com
ing against TCU.
In scoring, Bounds leads the
team with 18 points on his three
touchdowns. John Schluens, Fish
place kicker, takes runnerup hon
ors with 6 out of 7 extra points
and 3 out of 3 field goals. Field
er, Allen Anderson, Dean and
Ricky Ford are all bunched to
gether with six points each.
Frank Vavala leads the team
in receptions with four for 52
yards and a 13.0 average. All his
passes were caught in the Baylor
game. Ford and Anderson are
tied with two receptions each for
36 and 29 yards respectively.
Ford has caught one for a touch
down as has Bounds whose only
reception of the year resulted in
a 26-yarder.
In the punt return category,
the Fish are quite deficient with
an overall average of minus two
yards on three returns. Doug
Jordan is the only back to gain
yardage. He ran back one for
nine yards and his second was
thrown for a five yard loss to
give him a 2 yard average. Field
er’s lone return resulted in a loss
of 10 yards.
Kickoff returns are another
story though. A1 Thurmond has
returned four for 121 yards, his
longest coming last week against
Baylor of 51 yards. The entire
club has run back eight for 146
yards and a 18.3 yard average.
Bill Cazales and Joe Scott lead
the team in interceptions with
Basketball workouts moving fast
By JOHN CURYLO
Battalion Sports Editor
The Aggie basketball team has
finished six days of practice, and
Coach Shelby Metcalf’s charges
have shaped up well in early
workouts.
“They’re working hard,” Met
calf said. “Some of them are
pretty sore, but they’ll get over
it.”
Facing a rebuilding situation,
only Southwest Conference Soph
omore of the Year Jeff Over
house started more than half of
last year’s games. Not only are
the Aggies rebuilding personnel-
wise, but a style of play new to
A&M is being used this season.
Due to the lack of height and
rebounding potential, the delib
erate attack has been abandoned.
This year’s team will utilize the
run-and-shoot method in an at
tempt to make the most of the
players’ talents.
“This team will be exciting to
watch,” Metcalf said. “The prob
lem is that it’s hard to put in a
new game overnight. One thing
we can promise is that there will
be a lot of effort.
“Although we’ve been picked
seventh by some people and
eighth by others, it should be an
interesting season for everybody
TODD CHRISTOPHER (64), junior guard from Beaumont,
spent most of Saturday night on the bench in the Aggies
14-3 loss to TCU in Fort Worth. His sprained knee, which
occurred in the first quarter of the game, may keep him out
of this week’s game with Baylor. (Photo by Joe Matthews)

to watch,” he added. “We’re
blessed with players with some
intangibles; we’ve got some good
competitors with leadership and
heart.”
Overhouse is expected to pick
up where he left off last year,
but the key to success will be re
bounding. If senior Rick Duplan-
tis, 6-8, can come up with good
play at center, the Aggies should
hold their own.
Outside, returning letterman
Charlie Jenkins, Bob Gobin and
Wayne Howard will provide the
excitement of the faster game.
“It looks like Wayne is just
like he was at the end of last
year,” Metcalf said. “He came on
real strong the second half of the
season. Charlie and Bob are
proven competitors who hustle a
lot.”
These three are all juniors,
with Duplantis and Bobby
Threadgill the only seniors on the
squad. Four sophomores are on
the team, Randy Knowles, Bobby
McKey, Joe Arciniega and Mark
Stewart.
Two junior college transfers,
Mario Brown and Brad Pauley,
were recruited by Metcalf and
his assistant, Jim Culpepper.
Brown, 6-3, is from Kennedy-
King Junior College in Chicago.
“Mario is fast and exciting in
practice,” Metcalf said, “but he
still hasn’t played yet, so we’ll
have to wait and see.”
The Aggies will be working out
daily until their first game De
cember 2 with Texas Wesleyan in
G. Rollie White Coliseum. They
play six non - conference games
and three tournaments before
opening SWC play with SMU
January 15.

TITTLE BIG MAN"

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. <A>)_
Few quarterbacks improve their
statistics against Texas.
Arkansas’ Joe Ferguson did.
Ferguson, who entered last
Saturday’s Southwest Conference
showdown with Texas averaging
211.8 yards a game in total of
fense, completed 14 of 24 passes
for 249 yards and rushed for 16
yards and he increased his aver
age to 220.7 yards a game, sec
ond best in the nation.
Ferguson accounted for four
touchdowns — three on passes—
as he guided Arkansas to a 31-7
victory over the Longhorns. For
his performance, Ferguson was
named National College Back of
the Week by The Associated
Press Wednesday.
Ferguson, a 6-foot-2, 175 pound
junior, broke a 7-7 tie when he
raced 10 yards for a touchdown
with less than four minutes left
in the half, and two minutes
later completed a 37-yard scoring
toss to Mike Reppond to give the
Razorbacks a 21-7 half-time lead.
“The single greatest perform
ance by a quarterback against
quality opposition I’ve ever seen,”
said Arkansas Coach Frank
Broyles.
Ferguson’s strong arm enables
him to zip the ball past a de
fender as s o o n as a receiver
breaks open.
“Playing catch with Joe Fer
guson is just like playing burn
out with a .22,” says Arkansas
fullback Russ Garber.
Last week, Texas’ Darrell Roy
al said Ferguson was the best
passer to hit the Southwest in
his 14 years as coach of the Long
horns.
Ferguson has one of the high
est completion percentages in the
country, 60.1, hitting on 86 of 143
attempts for 1,237 yards and
nine touchdowns.
