Days off nice for Aggies, now looking at Longhorm
By JOHN CURYLO
Battalion Sports Editor
The Aggie football team had
Monday and Tuesday off, and
light workouts were held Wed
nesday and Thursday, but Coach
Gene Stallings said that he
wished his squad had had an
open date earlier in the season.
“I’m glad we have some time
off,” he explained. “I wish we
could have taken a day or two
off several weeks ago.”
A&M is preparing for its tra
ditional Thanksgiving Day battle
with the University of Texas in
Kyle Field. If the Longhorns
win, they are the outright cham
pions of the conference.
For the Aggies to take the
title, Texas Tech must beat Ark
ansas Saturday and TCU must
lose one more game this year.
Then A&M must beat Texas.
Considering the possibility of
the Turkey Day contest being
the championship game and the
emotion generated by the high
stakes, Stallings was agreeable.
“I’m all for it,” he said. “Most
of the papers have Texas and
Penn State in the Cotton Bowl.”
Stallings said that the most
impressive factor of the Long
horns is their personnel. Al
though they have been plagued
by key injuries, Texas is ranked
twelfth in the nation. Running
from the Wishbone, they have
won the Southwest Conference
championship three years in a
row.
“It’s not the formation that’s
important in running the Wish
bone effectively,” he said. “Their
personnel makes them good. (Ed
die) Phillips and (Jim) Bertel-
son would be good in any align
ment.”
After studying films of the
Rice game, which the Aggies
won 18-13, Stallings and his staff
gave out 30 stars to 25 players.
Those receiving two each were
linebacker Steve Luebbehusen,
safety David Hoot, punter and
tight end Mitch Robertson, offen
sive guard Leonard Forey and
quarterback Joe Mac King.
“It wasn’t one of our better
games,” Stallings explained. “Of
course, Rice had a lot to do with
that. We didn’t tackle excep
tionally well. (Stable) Vincent’s
a good runner, (Bob) Brown’s a
fine receiver and (Bruce) Gadd
is an excellent quarterback.”
Nagging injuries involve some
of the Aggie starters, but noth
ing major should interfere with
the lineups for Thursday’s game.
Doug Neill has boils and some
sores on his elbow, and he is not
practicing. Homer May is play
ing with sponges and tape on his
hand, which he broke in the Ark-*
ansas game. Joey Herr is still
slowed by the sore collarbone,
and Hugh McElroy is stiff and
bruised with a leg injury.
Mike Lord was hurt in the Rice
game. What was originally
thought to be a broken foot is a
bad sprain. Lord was clipped,
causing the foot to be rolled up
under him.
Lex James, who was the num
ber one quarterback earlier in
the season, is beginning to prac
tice again. James has had his
thumb dislocated twice this year.
In the Texas Tech game, the last
one he played, he separated a
shoulder.
He was unable to throw last
week, so he practiced at split end
and wingback. Stallings reported
that he catches the ball well, but
it is not known if James will
play against Texas.
Stallings said that key plays
in the win over Rice were the
bootleg play that Hoot stopped
on a third and two situation, the
fourth down tackle by Bill Wie-
bold and Lee Hitt, and Robert
son’s 74 yard punt.
“Joe Mac’s calling most of the
plays,” the coach said. “On that
last touchdown drive, I intended
for him to throw that much, but
I sure didn’t think he would pass
on the scoring play.”
Everything points to next
week's game being different than
the final games of the last three
seasons. This will be magnified
if both schools can take the
crown by winning.
“I’m hoping it’ll be different
this year,” Stallings said. “There
is more physical competitiveness
now than in the past few years.
The emotion ought to be greater
if we still have a chance to win
conference, but we’ll lose any
psychological advantage when we
get out there in the arena.”
SWC showdowns slated
in big games Saturday
By BILL HENRY
Assistant Sports Editor
Southwest Conference Action
heads into its next to last week
with three games, two of which
are crucial to the conference
standings. The odds on favorite
to cop the crown this year (Tex
as) is idle until Thanksgiving.
Arkansas will entertain Texas
Tech in Fayetteville on Saturday
afternoon in a game that is a
must for the Razorbacks if they
are to have any hopes in the con
ference race. Tech has nothing
to gain with a victory except the
spoiler’s role. If Arkansas wins
and Texas loses, the Razorbacks
will win the SWC and play host
in the Cotton Bowl against an
undetermined foe. If Tech de
feats Arkansas and if Texas
A&M defeats Texas, the Aggies
will have an excellent chance to
play in the Cotton Bowl. Arkan
sas has had its troubles in the
past three weeks in losing one,
tying one and barely snipping
SMU last weekend on regional
television. Tech was riding its
second three-game losing streak
before beating Baylor in Lubbock
last weekend, 27-0. For the Red
Raiders, it was the first time
this season that they have gotten
the offense together but this time
it was under the leadership of
sophomore Joe Barnes instead of
senior Charley Napper. Joe Fer
guson, even though injured late
in the second quarter, led the
Razorbacks to a stunning win
over SMU, 18-*13, in Dallas.
Tech does have a big plus on its
side being the number one team
in the nation in defending against
the pass; Arkansas’ strong
point.
In another big SWC tilt, TCU
will host the Rice Owls in an
afternoon encounter in Amon
Carter Stadium. TCU is the
fourth team that has any hope
of a SWC championship. It must
beat both Rice and SMU while
Texas has to lose to A&M and
Tech has to defeat Rice. TCU’s
hopes were given a depression
last weekend in Austin when the
Longhorns stomped the Frogs,
31-0. The chances of TCU win
ning the conference look to be
the slimmest of the other four
teams. Rice’s defensive unit has
come of age the past two weeks
in its tie with Arkansas and in
the loss to A&M last weekend.
Bruce Gadd, Owl quarterback, has
also caught fire with his passing
to tight end Gary Butler and
split receiver Bob Brown. The
running attack is manned main
ly by senior Stable Vincent who
picked up 90 yards before he had
to leave the game early in the
third quarter of the A&M game
'due to the flu. TCU is led by
quarterback Steve Judy, Larry
Harris and Bobby Davis and
Steve Patterson in a Wishbone
attack. Davis led the SWC in
rushing early in the season be
fore an injury put him out of
action for two games.
Baylor hosts Southern Meth
odist in Waco in an afternoon
game with nothing riding on this
one but the record. SMU lost its
chance for the conference crown
by losing to Texas, A&M and
Arkansas in consecutive weeks.
Baylor took the cellar honors for
this year in last week’s game
with Tech by losing 27-0. The
SMU attack is based on the run
ning and passing of superstar
Gary Hammond and sophomore
running back Alvin Maxson who
is leading the conference in car
rying the pigskin. Baylor’s of
fense is almost nill except for
some spotty appearances by Si
Southall, tailback Godfrey White
and fullback Mathew Williams.
The defensive unit for the Bears
is commendable however with
such superlatives as Roger Goree
and Phil Beall. The Mustang
defense has quite a list of good
personnel with Sherwood Blount,
Robert Popelka and Pat Curry.
Bevo YII is dead:
was 18 years old
AUSTIN, Tex. <A>) — The
Longhorn mascot steer who sur
vived capture by Texas Aggies
has been put to sleep.
“Old age caught up with” Bevo
VII, said Bob Sours, a member
of the University of Texas Silver
Spur group which takes care of
the Longhorn mascots.
Sours said Bevo VII was the
one “stolen by Aggies about three
years ago. They sawed off part
of his horn.”
After the Aggies kidnapped
Bevo, he was put out to pasture,
Sours said.
He said the Spurs are consid
ering a gravestone “or some
thing” in memory of Bevo VII.
“He was one of the more gentle
Bevos,” he said. “An Aggie vet
put him to sleep.”
Bevo VIII got so big the Spurs
couldn’t carry him in their trail
er, and he now grazes on state-
owned land northwest of here.
“He’s also going a little blind,”
Sours said.
Bevo IX, the current mascot,
will make the trip next Thurs
day to College Station for the
football game between Texas and
Texas A&M.

Jesus said,“I am come that they might have life, and that they mifrht
have it more abundantly.”
Now it is a tribute to the intelligence of men that no one thinks He was
talking about the material abundance we enjoy today. Everybody knows
He was talking about something else.
But what else tv What could Christ add to your possessions? What can
He give men that might account for the logical distinction we readily make
between a life of abundance and the abundant life?
Himself! That’s it. That’s all. Precisely what He said: “I am come
that...”
To know Him and to know the meaning His Life has for our lives is to
discover the abundant life!
