THE BATTALION
In SWC night game
Ags challenge Razorbacks
By JOHN CURYLO
Battalion Sports Editor
The Aggies travel to the Ozarks
tomorrow to face the top team in
the Southwest Conference and the
eighth-ranked team in the na
tion, the Arkansas Razorbacks,
in a night game in Little Rock.
The 45th football meeting of the
two schools finds A&M trying to
salvage what they can of the sea
son after losing five straight.
Arkansas, meanwhile, will be
trying to gain more national rec
ognition and better the 3-0 record
they have compiled in conference
play.
Coach Gene Stallings, in his
seventh year as head coach of
the Aggies, has a 1-5 mark
against the Hogs. Arkansas’ head
man, Frank Broyles has been the
Razorback coach for 13 seasons,
compiling a 104-34-1 slate.
With injuries to Lex James still
keeping the junior out of the
quarterback picture, Joe Mac
King again gets the call as the
key to the Aggie offense. He has
completed 12 of 39 passes for 169
Musk should be free.

yards, while running with the ball
19 times for a net of 27.
Hugh McElroy and Mark Green
share time at tailback, along with
Steve Burks. Doug Neill and Marc
Black will be the fullbacks, and
these five lead A&M in rushing.
Neill has 279 yards in 74 tries,
Black has gone 179 yards in car
rying 45 times, Green has added
139 yards in 57 carries, Burks
has run 30 times for 106 yards
and McElroy has crossed the line
20 times for 72 yards.
McElroy is the return special
ist, having run back nine punts
for 93 yards and 13 kickoffs for
381 yards. The Houston senior
has caught seven passes for 92
yards.
The other receivers will be
wingback Joey Herr, split end
Robert Murski and tight end Ho
mer May. This trio will be spelled
by Rick Spencer, Billy Joe Pola-
sek and Mitch Robertson.
Murski leads all A&M receivers
with 12 catches for 139 yards.
May is second, having 99 yards
on eight receptions. Herr has
caught six aerials for 84 yards,
although he has played in only
three games.
Robertson does the punting for
the Aggies, and the Abilene sen
ior is fifth in the conference, hav
ing dropped three places with his
wind-hampered performance
against Baylor. He has kicked
52 times this year for a 38.1 yard
average.
The offensive line will have its
work cut out for it, and last
week's job against the Bears
should help their momentum. Bus
ter Callaway and Skip Kuehn
will be the tackles, with Marshall
Herklotz and Ralph Sacra ready
to substitute for them.
Leonard Forey starts at right
guard, and Todd Christopher, re
covering from a knee injury, will
be at left guard. Mike Park is
ready to fill in at either position,
having played well last week.
Robert Gerasimowicz is at center
after missing the Baylor game
due to a hurt knee. Ted Smith
is number two behind him.
Defensively, the Aggies are
third overall in the conference,
but they have had more plays
(483) run against them than any
other team.
Max Bird and Mike Lord will
start at the ends, but Kent Finley
has recovered from an injury and
may see a lot of action. The
tackles are Boice Best and Van
Odom, with Dan Peoples and
James Dubcak behind them. Bill
Wiebold and Mike Bruton play
middle guard.
Grady Hoermann and Steve
Luebbehusen have played well all
season at the linebacker spots,
and they will start tomorrow
night. Lord and Dennis Carruth
may spell them at times.
The defensive secondary, all
former high school quarterbacks,
has Lee Hitt and Bland Smith at
the corners and Brad Dusek and
David Hoot at the safeties. Hitt
is tied for the conference inter
ception lead with four, and Dusek
has three. They should get the
chance to pick off a few more
in Little Rock, since Arkansas
quarterback Joe Ferguson has
thrown 155 times in seven games.
Pat McDermott, whose 53 yard
field goal against Baylor set a
new school record, will be handl
ing the placements for the Ag
gies, along with Roberto Payan.
Mike Bellar will be kicking off.
To win, A&M must contain the
league-leading Arkansas passing
attack, coupled with a vicious
ground game. The Aggie offense
must avoid giving up the ball on
three plays to keep the pressure
off the defensive unit.
Longhorns try to knock off unbeaten Mustangs;
Owls face Texas Tech and TCU plays Baylor
By BILL HENRY
Assistant Sports Editor
Southwest Conference action
reaches the halfway point this
week with two teams without a
conference loss. Only Southern
Methodist and Arkansas have un
blemished SWC reords.
SMU will meet the Texas Long
horns in the Cotton Bowl in an
afternoon contest which will be
the Ponies first severe test. SMU
holds a 3-4 mark overall while
being tied with the Razorbacks
in the SWC conference mark in
the loss column. The Mustangs
have defeated both Rice and Tex
as Tech in fourth .quarter heroics.
Texas is becoming healthy again
as proven by its 39-10 demolish-
ment of Rice in Houston last Sat
urday. To entertain any chance
of a bowl bid, the Longhorns must
not lose another game all sea
son. SMU’s offense leaves a lot to
be desired and the defense is not
one of the better ones around
the league. The Ponies do how
ever have that little bit of luck
that won them the SWC crown
in 1966 and A&M in 1967. Maybe
an interesting game if Texas
hasn’t recuperated to a great ex
tent.
The Rice Owls fly up to Lub
bock Saturday for an afternoon
get-together for a game with the
slumping Red Raiders. Neither
team has done what it’s supposed
to from preseason billings. Tech
was predicted to make a strong
contention for the conference
crown, while Rice was not sup
posed to win a game. Tech won
three straight after losing three
straight, but then lost to SMU
last week. Rice, on the other
hand, beat a team (Tulane) that
defeated Tech in the early goings.
Being up in the Panhandle the
Owls will not be as apt to win as
if they were in their own back
yard. The hometown advantage
has taken its share of marginal
games.
Texas Christian travels to Wa
co for a Saturday night game
against the 1-4 Baylor Bears.
Baylor is really licking its wounds
after last week’s 10-9 loss to A&M
in College Station. TCU has just
come off a big loss, 66-14, to Penn
State. Neither team is consistent
but in overall talent, TCU has an
edge. They have an offense that
can move the football if it needs
to. Baylor coaches have some sort
of rift going with top-notch quar
terback, Si Southall, and only put
him in the game with it’s third
down and many. When he comes
in he usually hits a receiver for
not quiet enough for a first down,
but he does move the football.
TCU’s defense should be rested
up enough after last week to give
a pretty good performance against
the conference’s worst offensive
team.
