Page 8 College Station, Texas Tuesday, November 2, 1971 THE BATTALK What shocked Razorback fans thrilled the Aggi By JOHN CURYLO Many of the 54,446 people in the stadium just sat and stared at the scoreboard after the Ag gies upset the Arkansas Razor- backs 17-9 Saturday night. It was that kind of game for those present and anyone around the country whose eyes now focus on the upset—it was a shocker. The pre-game pandemonium of hog calling and screaming trans ferred to the Aggies in the second quarter, and it didn’t let up until the last one of the 5,000 people at Easterwood Field had left the airport after meeting the team early Sunday morning. “This has to be the greatest win for me ever,” Coach Gene Stallings said in the locker room. “It’s a thrill beating such a fine team when we lost five in a row a few weeks ago. It was even better than beating Coach (Bear) Bryant.” Sophomore tailback Mark Green started the season at quarterback, switched positions after injuries and scored his first touchdown last week in the Baylor game. Against the Razorbacks, he ran for 102 yards in 27 carries and scored twice on runs of three and 20 yards. “I ran better than I've ever nin,” Green said. “We had good workouts all week, and that’s what I needed. I need more ex perience, too. This is my greatest thrill, because we beat the number one team in the Southwest Con ference. As far as playing tail back or quarterback, I just want to do what will help Texas A&M the most.” Quarterback Joe Mac King, starting his third game of the year, has led the Aggies to two straight victories, both confer ence games. The Mineola senior kept the ball eight times for 13 yards and completed two of four passes for 22 yards. “We won because the offensive line blocked well and the backs ran real good,” he said. “The de fense did what it’s done all year, and the offense finally came around to help them out. I didn’t pass more because I didn’t have to.” Linebacker Grady Hoermann was asked about Hog quarterback Joe Ferguson and how it felt to knock off the Arkansas Razor- backs, ranked eighth in the nation. “There’s only one way to de scribe it—great,” he said. “We came to play. Ferguson is a great passer. He’s good, maybe even better than (Jerry) Tagge of Nebraska.” It was a wild and jubil antl of Texas Aggie football pk. who jolted the minds of Hop! and shocked the country their gutty performance, p!* Green’s running to the L fensive efforts, it was at, birthday present for trainers Pickard, who turned 38 op plane ride home. r ol.

Gar rick, head of the Division of Sports Medicine at the Univer sity of Washington. But, acceptance of higher in jury rates would seem a high price to pay, regardless of how compelling other advantages ap pear, he said. Garrett, along with other wit nesses called for additional study on the relationship between arti ficial turf and football injuries. “We have not concluded that artificial turf definitely leads to increased injuries,” said Ed Gar vey, executive director of the Na tional Football League Players Association. “We are saying in light of Dr. Garrick’s finding, the club owners should stop in- Basketball tickets on order tomorrow Applications fpr season and in dividual Texas A&M basketball tickets will be accepted beginning Wednesday, according to Wally Groff, athletic business manager. Reserved seats are $2. Season tickets are $26 for 13 home games. Faculty and staff with season football tickets can buy reserved basketball tickets for half price. Applications can be obtained by writing or calling the business office. The Aggies open the season Dec. 2 against Texas Wesleyan in G. Rollie White Coliseum. Other home games besides South west Conference foes include Northwestern (La.) State Dec. 4, Tulsa Dec. 6, Southwest Texas State Dec. 14, Trinity Jan. 13 and Athletes in Action Jan. 17. stalling these surfaces until we know the answer.” Pete Rozelle, NFL commis sioner, turned down an invitation to appear before the Subcommit tee on Commerce and Finance. “This office . . . has never been involved in either the purchase or promotion of artificial turf and is, therefore, not in a posi tion to offer expert testimony,” Rozelle wrote Rep. John E. Moss, D-Calif., subcommittee chairman. Roy Jefferson and John Wil bur of the Washington Redskins and Gus Holloman, New York Jets defensive back, also testL fied. “At first it made me feel that I was faster,” Jefferson, a wide receiver, said of the synthetic surfaces. “But I have since found it tends to take a little more out of your legs. You get more shin injuries from running on the hard surfaces. It’s like running on concrete.” inite: tie Pec name ||e in Si Wilbur said he has a pet» distaste for synthetic surf* because “it makes defensives men quicker and I’m an offe® lineman.” Garrick studied high xi, football players in the Set metropolitan area last fall. “The injury rate on the ’’to 1 thetic surface was 50 pet« Jons, higher than that seen on there >eking ous grass fields,” he testify | epu ty Dry synthetic turfs accoty a n-hua ; for the most injuries, Gam j to 1 said, and suggests that stsMambas should be directed toward t: a , will relating “traction" and injm ^sente A survey of injuries at | urity < University of Washington j; I U-S. ing the last two years, he ai fl the) show injuries were more Hi «i," ( three times as frequent end ciliated synthetic turf as on wet art cial surfaces.
