at linebacker and averaged 15
tackles per contest. 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. Whether we’re ready or not

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. <A>> _
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.
