Monday Thru Saturday 701 Texas Ave. at Saber Inn 846-7755 Paul Lyons, the 9th ranked Tigers will be all the Aggies can handle in noisy Tiger Stadium. Jones (205) and Lyons (186) share the quarterbacking duties, with Jones’s 185 yards total of fense just two yards short of Pacific’s total offense. Jones also threw two touchdown passes while running his string to seven games without an interception. LSU runs a multiple of of fensive sets with the Aggies most likely to see an “I” formation similar to the one Nebraska ran last week. The Tigers threw 27 times in 75 plays against Pacific, completing 14 for 217 yards. Jones and Lyons shuttle at quarterback and work behind an experienced line. Logan Killen (205) is the Tiger center with Tyler Lafauci (137) and Lloyd Daniel (219) the guards. The tackles are Jimmy Elkins (231) and Steve Streete (220). There are no freshmen or sophomores in the interior line and all start ers are returning lettermen from last year’s Sun Bowl victor squad. The offensive backfield is all seniors with the addition of full back Jim Benglis (203) and Tail back Chris Dantin (188) to go with Jones and Lyons. The LSU receiving corps will be a big threat to the Aggies. A&M must stop the “bomb” if they are to be successful Satur day night.

Williamson is a fine receiver and more than an adequate blocker. Gerald Keigley (212) lines up in the slot and is replaced by Ben Jones (170), younger brother of the Tiger quarterback. LSU’s big play threat is split end Jim my LeDoux (5-11, 171) whose speed will test the fastly improv ing A&M secondary. The LSU defense will test the A&M Wishbone with a seven man front, with four deep backs. Ron Daily (224) and Binks Miciotto (198) are the defensive ends. Daily is one of two sopho mores in the LSU starting lineup. The tackles are Tommy Butand (6-1, 212) and John Wood (228) on a defense which gave up an average of 3.4 yards per play to Pacific. The Tiger linebackers are Pepper Rutland (185), a senior with two varsity letters, and juniors Gary Champagne (208) and Warren Capone (202). The deep backs for LSU will be John Staggs (180) and Joe Winkler (178) at the safeties, with cornerbacks Mike Williams (172) and Norm Hodgins (174). Williams is the other defensive sophomore starter for the Tigers. Wood led the defense in tackles against Pacific with nine; Capone and Harris each had eight. If LSU has a weak spot, it is their defense. The entire unit only sports three seniors with both starting sophomores on the de fensive squad. Another weak spot against Pa- Todd Christopher Confident For Third Shot Against LSU cific seemed to be the offense line play which sprang offensive backs for an average of only 1.9 yds. per play. On the other hand the Aggies have been averaging four yards per rush against tougher opposition than Pacific. The Tigers will be seeking to eliminate mistakes like the block ing of Rusty Jackson’s punt which put Pacific on the scoreboard with only 50 seconds gone in the game. Jackson still averaged over 41 yards on five punts. This season starts the second decade of Tiger Head Coach Charlie McClendon who has built an extremely fine 80-27-4 record into the game; sixth place among active coaches who have been the business 10 years or more. The Aggies are gunning for an upset like the 1970 game, which was pulled out of the fire in the last seconds of the game. A com plete elimination of mistakes and the Aggies could just have that upset. Texas A&M’s Todd Christopher has seen LSU from both sides, and there’s no doubt which side he likes best. against a good team (Nebraska) last week. But we’ll come back.” In 1970, Christopher was a de fensive end and linebacker when the Aggies pulled a shocking 20- 18 upset over the Tigers in Baton Rouge. Last year he was at of fensive guard as a venegeful bunch of Bengals thrashed out a 37-0 decision over the Aggies. The 6-2, 237-pound Beaumont native is an intelligent and articu late spokesman for the Aggies. “Todd has everything you like to see in a player,” says coach Em ory Bellard. “He has good size, speed and intelligence. He’s just a darn fine player.” “They were really ready to play last year,” Christopher re calls. “They had lost their open ing game to Colorado, and then there was that game last year. But then LSU is always tough.” Football runs in the Christo pher family. Todd’s older brother Craig was a standout linebacker at Rice back in the mid-1960s. Todd was an all-district tight end land linebacker at South Park High under coach Ty Bain. Christopher, one of the Aggie co-captains, feels A&M will be ready this year. “A feeling of confidence and determination car ried over from the end of last year,” Christopher says. “We know we can do it if we just stay together and give it everything we’ve got. We had a bad day Christopher is one of the top students on the Aggie squad. He is majoring in business manage ment, but plans on entering law school upon graduation. He is also married. A top all-Southwest Conference candidate, Christopher is one of six seniors in the Aggie forward wall. Aggie Tennis Team Also Travels To Baton Rouge The Aggie tennis team coached by Omar Smith also will travel to Baton Rouge to take on LSU Saturday. Making the trip for the Aggies this year will be Dan Courson, Bill Wright, Bill Hoover, Lawton Park, Jere Mills, Mike Mills, Ker- mit Smith and Mitch Barker. The match is scheduled for 1 p. m. at LSU’s new tennis facility which is considered one of the best con structed in the nation. “This stadium is one of the nicest I’ve ever seen,” Smith said. “It is built indoors and has a Tar tan floor which is very conducive to good tennis playing.” The first scheduled meet is set for Feb. 9, 10, 11, when the Ag gies participate in the Pan Ameri can Intercollegiate Tournament. This year’s conference race is again scheduled to be as tight as was last year’s. “I look for Houston (able to compete in the conference race for the first year) to be the team to beat,” Smith remarked. “They finished fifth in the nation last year and they have most of its players back. SMU will also be tough along with Rice and Texas.” Last year the Aggies defeated Houston, 4-3, in a dual meet while Rice took conference honors even after losing to SMU in the final meet of the season. “The team has looked real good during fall workouts,” Smith said. “For this time of year they look real sharp and ready to go.” This will be the third meeting between the two schools with the Aggies holding a 2-1 edge by win ning the past two meets.
