Ags meet Baylor in crucial contest
By JOHN CURYLO
Battalion Sports Editor
For the third straight week, the
Texas Aggies meet a team that
is at a critical point in establish
ing itself in the Southwest Con
ference this year.
The Baylor Bears, utilizing the
Wishbone offense, visit Kyle Field
tomorrow at 1:30 p.m. in a con
test that could determine the fu
ture of both squads for the re
mainder of the season.
Coach Gene Stallings’ charges
are hampered by injuries, and the
offense hasn’t dominated a game
since the season opener. For the
Aggies to salvage the records
this year, it is necessary for them
to come up with a win tomorrow.
Joe Mac King again gets the
call at quarterback. He started
his first game of the year last
week against the TCU Horned
Frogs, completing five of 19 pass
es and moving the team into
enemy territory several times in
the second half, only to have in
terceptions stop the threats.
Lex James may be able to play,
but the shoulder separation he got
in Lubbock has kept him from
practicing all week. Tim Trim-
mier is listed as the backup man.
Hugh McElroy, still battered
and bruised from the game Sat
urday, may start at tailback, but
Steve Burks is healthy again, and
Mark Green is still going strong
as a running back.
Doug Neill, the team’s leading
rusher, lines up at fullback, with
Marc Black right behind him. Mc
Elroy may play at split end, but
Joey Herr has recovered from the
collarbone he cracked in the LSU
game. Ricky Spencer will play
here, too. At split end, Robert
Murski leads the team in number
of passes caught. John Gardner
is his substitute.
Injuries have hurt the offensive
line, and a number of changes
have been made this week. Todd
Christopher and Robert Gerasi-
mowicz were hurt in the TCU
game, and both are doubtful. Skip
Kuehn will move back in from
tackle to center, leaving Buster
Callaway and Ralph Sacra at
those positions.
The starting guards are Leon
ard Forey and Mike Park. Homer
May and Mitch Robertson are
ready at tight end. May has been
a steady starter all year, and
Robertson was a winner of the
Aggie Star in his first start last
week. Robertson will do the punt
ing, and is currently second in
the conference.
Mike Bellar will handle the
kickoffs again, with Pat McDer
mott kicking placements. Roberto
Payan is available for duty here,
too.
Defensively, the Aggies are
sound at all but one position.
Kent Finley was hurt last week,
so either Dan Peoples or Rusty
Pool will start at one end, op
posite mainstay Max Bird.
Van Odom and Boice Best are
the tackles, but James Dubcak,
back in action again, will fill in on
both sides. Bill Wiebold, cited by
Frog Coach Jim Pittman for his
tough play against TCU, gets the
nod at noseguard.
The linebacking corps is strong,
and any two of the four would
be excellent starters. Grady
Hoermann and Steve Luebbehusen
start, but Mike Lord and Dennis
Carruth are expected to fill in
at times.
The secondary play has been
superb this year, and the usual
four are going again. Lee Hitt
and Bland Smith are the corner-
backs, while Brad Dusek and David
Hoot play the safety spots. Larry
Ellis and Ed Ebrom are the back
up cornerbacks, with Ellis or Bel
lar filling in at safety.
The same formula for victory
applies in this game. The defense
must contain the Baylor Wish
bone and give the offense the
field position and number of pos
sessions it needs.
But the offense must get roll
ing for the first time in the past
five games.

Razorbacks leave rest of conference behind
as Texas tries to rebuild against Rice Owls
By BILL HENRY
Assistant Sports Editor
With the Southwest Conference
almost wrapped up by Arkansas,
the rest of the teams will settle
down to fight for what’s left in
the standings.
Highlighting this week’s action
is the regionally televised contest
between Southern Methodist and
Texas Tech in Dallas at 2 p.m.
SMU is fresh off its first SWC
win of the season over Rice, 16-10.
Tech is 1-1 in conference play,
having lost to Texas, 28-0, and
defeating A&M, 28-7. Both teams
have had somewhat lackluster
pre-conference results with iden
tical marks of 1-3. SMU rests on
the laurels of two-time All-SWC
performer Gary Hammond for its
offensive punch out of the Wish
bone. Tech, on the other hand,
uses the pass-run option well but
its main source of success has
come from its defense. Tech leads
the SWC in that category.
Rice, after being upset by SMU
last weekend in a fourth quarter
rally, will visit Austin for an af
ternoon game with the Longhorns.
Texas, after jumping out with a
3-0 mark the first of the season,
has lost two straight. 1967 was
the last time the ’Horns have lost

two straight. The chances look
dim for Rice to pull off the third
straight loss against the injured
Texas team. Rice looked impres
sive in its non-conference sched
ule with a tenacious defensive
unit. The offense looks weak,
however. Texas will be out for
at least a second place finish in
the conference and a chance for
some type of bowl game, even
if it is not the Cotton Bowl. Eddie
Phillips and Donnie Wiggington
may be ready to play.
Arkansas hosts an outmanned
North Texas State team in Fay
etteville for an afternoon contest.
If Tulsa hadn’t already done it
to the Razorbacks, the Mean
Green might have a chance to
pull off a major upset. Arkansas
is still too excited to play a good,

The Texas A&M Water Polo
Club left for Conway, Arkansas
today to play in the Hendrix Col

The two-day affair will see
six teams play in the double
elimination competition with the
top teams seeded being John
Brown University and Southeast
ern Missouri.
“This should be another good
tournament for the boys,’’ said
Coach Dennis Fosdick. “I think
we can surprise some of the peo
ple there and win the tourna
ment in New Mexico, and we’ve
been playing well all week with
good speed and form.”

sound football game against such
inferior opposition. Joe Ferguson
is too young to get over-confident
and besides, he’s looking at an
All-American berth in this, his
junior year. He leads the confer
ence in passing with his favorite
receiver Mike Reppond holding
the reception lead. The big ques
tion mark at the beginning of the
season was defense and the prob
lem seems to be solved as proven
last week in Little Rock.
Texas Christian flies to Uni
versity Park, Penn., for an inter
regional battle with Penn State
in an afternoon contest. This will
be the last non-conference game
for any SWC team in 1971. The
Horned Frogs have looked impres
sive at times and sheepish at
others. This inconsistency was
shown in last week’s game with
A&M. In the first half, the Frogs
came on like gangbusters, making
19 first downs and 14 points.
The second half, they made only
three first downs and failed to
score. The "Purple People Eaters”
were ahead of both Washington
and Arkansas before succumbing
badly. Penn State is undefeated
in 1971 and again is one of the
top 10 teams in the nation. The
Frogs will have to stop the Nit-
any Lions’ great runner, Lydell
James, to have any hope.
