Pete, 6-3, 240, has started at WSU for three years. Gilley, 5-10, 170, led the nation in kickoff returns two years ago and last year led the MVC with a 26.7 yard per carry average. Owen, 6-2, 210, quarter back is highly touted by Coach Bellard and other opposing coaches. “He (Owen) throws real well and has one of the greatest arms in collegiate football,” Bellard says. “He is real strong and has great receivers to throw to.” The only weak point Bellard sites in the Shockers’ pro-type attack is in the offensive line. “During spring training the pass protection broke down but since they may throw 50-60 times a game, I imagine they have got that all worked out.” Bellard doesn’t know exactly what to expect from Wichita but his game plan is simple—win. “We are going out there to establish a running game and then throw the football some. That is what we’ll do every game and hope we can win with it. On defense, we’ll do just what we’ve done in practice; try to stop the run and get to the passer hoping to get interceptions in the secondary. “We’ll not conceal anything from Nebraska. We’ll go up to Wichita and use all the guns we have in the battle. We are going up there to win the football game. “We are at a point in our work outs where we need to play some one with different color jerseys on.

Asked if he thought Littleton would provide help for the out side speed problem, Tohill said, “I don’t think a freshman will start for us. Ron has ability but we don’t know what to expect. I’ve never been one to praise a kid who has never been to war.” Tohill said a freshman would have to have exceptional ability to play—such as split end Richard Osborne and running back Bubba Bean who will start for Texas A&M University. He said the TCU staff would take a hard look at Littleton be cause of the freshman’s excep tional quickness and speed. “That kid can run a 4.6 in the 40 frontwards, backwards and sideways,” Tohill said. TCU will return eight starters on offense and eight starters on defense. The Horned Frogs don’t open the season until Sept. 23 against Indiana on the road. FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. > _ Arkansas Coach Frank Broyles said Tuesday that Marsh White, a 220-pound sophomore, would start at fullback Saturday at Little Rock when the fourth- ranked Razorbacks meet eighth- ranked University of Southern California. White had been battling fifth- year senior Mike Saint for the fullback position, but Saint in jured a toe last Friday. “We just don’t know about Mike Saint, so Marsh White will start,” Broyles said. “I don’t know whether Saint will practice this week at all, or play Saturday.” Broyles also said that sopho more Scott Bull would back up White at fullback. There are also other positions where Broyles is unsure who will be the starter. Jim Irwin, who was expected to start at left cornerback, broke his nose during Monday’s prac tice and his status was uncertain Tuesday. If Irwin is unable to start, Broyles will call on Sopho more John Moseley. Broyles says either Ron Revard, a converted center, or Lee King, a sophomore, will start at left tackle on offense and that the starter at center will be either Stuart Freeland, a junior, or Randy Drake, a sophomore. will be seen Saturday night. You can sense it in the players and coaches alike; they want to play a real football game.” The question of injuries came up and, for the first time in sev eral years, the Aggies are in good physical shape after fall drills. “James Dubcak (who injured his knee) has suited up and is at full speed, as is Mike Bruton. We should go into our football game in perfect condition in terms of injuries.” Another big question that looms in the back of everyone’s mind is whether or not the two fresh man starters will be able to take the pressure put upon them dur ing their first collegiate football encounter? “Osborne and Bean are inex perienced in varsity football com petition but they are the best we’ve got at those two positions and that is why they are playing. Sure, they will be emotional but so will all of our players, that’s a sign of good players. “When you come right down to it, none of our players are experi enced under me. They’re all new to me and I’m all new to them in true game conditions. After Saturday’s game we’ll be able to see if we did a good job getting them experienced.” Also discussed by Bellard was the attitude of the team in this week’s work. “Yesterday there was a big turnabout. There was a special something in the air like the knowledge that we are ready to play. I think this is directly re lated toward the attitude of the coaches and we feel like the kids are ready to play. There is a little more snap, legs are getting some quickness back in them and 1 feel we are coming along at the right level.” Workouts all of this week will be light with very little, if any, contact work. The team will leave from Easterwood Airport Friday at noon, arriving in Wichita around 2 p.m. and then the team will work out in Shocker Stadium at 4, getting ready for Saturday’s 7:30 kickoff. The team will arrive back in College Station following the game Saturday night. Southwest Conference Football Show To Be Televised Tonight At 6:30 Twenty-five years of Southwest Conference football have been packed into an action-filled half- hour film which will be premiered on 28 television stations through out the Southwest the nights of Sept. 5-9. Locally the special sports pro gram is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 6, on KBTX- TV in Bryan. Opening with the Doak Walker (SMU) and Bobby Layne (Texas) post World War II era, the 28- minute movie features outstand ing players, teams and games of 1947-71. Action scenes include such con sensus All-America players as Froggy Williams, Lawrence El kins, Kyle Rote, John David Crow, Jim Swink, E. J. Holub, Buddy Dial, Jerry Levias, Jimmy Saxton, Bob Lilly, Dicky Maegle, Tommy Nobis, Steve Wooster and Bobby Wuensch. Many other All-America and All-Conference standouts are fea tured. It was impossible, however, for the film to cover all the great players, narrator Connie Alexan der points out. The film’s objective, Alexander says, was “to capture the moods, the styles of play, the trends and the excitement that have made the game great for players and fans alike.” Seven of the most outstanding games of the past quarter-century are reviewed, including the Doak Walker-Bobby Layne confronta tion in 1947 when unbeaten SMU faced unbeaten Texas. Other memorable games include teams from Rice, TCU, Baylor, A&M, Arkansas and Houston.
