After taking a 77-7 defeat at the hands of Nebraska on regional television, Army will be trying to redeem itself at the cost of the Texas Aggies. Army has an experienced team with 27 lettermen returning from last year’s 6-4 squad. This is the greatest number of veterans Ar my coach Tom Cahill has had to work with since taking over the head coaching job in 1966. The Cadets’ most glaring weak ness against Nebraska was a def inite lack of speed. They must play ball control with long sus tained drives in order to have any offensive success. The hub of Army’s attack rests in quarterbacks Kingsley Fink and Dick Atha. Neither had much time to show what he could do because of the tough Nebraska rush. Fink tossed eight touchdown AGGIES-SAVE 40% ADVANCE TICKETS ON CAMPUS ONLY $3.00 PER PERSON—MSC Ponderosa Specials • Friday Evening- Fish Fry — $2.00 • Sunday Noon Lunch $2.00 • Special Weekend Rates for Parents & Students Call 846-5794 Ponderosa Motor Inn ISIEW GEI\IERfJTIOI\l 73 FORD PICKUPS 73 FORD PICKUP -WORKS LIKE A TRUCK -RIDES LIKE A CAR A NEW GENERATION OF BETTER IDEAS 1969 FORD LTD I //B, automatic, factory X; air, radio, power steering, power brakes, tinted glass, ji: W/W/S tires. $ 1969 VW SUS ON COMPANY DEMONSTRATORS AND USED r CARS S '“is 1970 MAVERICK Radio, factory air, 8 passenger, real, clean, economical to operate.

He took over the starting duties in Army’s seventh game of last season and never relinquished them. Atha, a lefty, is the back-up man. The Army running attack is spearheaded by running back Bruce Simpson. Simpson also re turns kickoffs and is considered a fine pass receiver. The fullback is Pete Ramsberg- er, last year’s Plebe quarterback. Only a sophomore, he is Army’s only breakaway threat. Joe Hines is the Cadet flanker. The starting offensive line has good size, averaging approximate ly 220 pounds. Its experience and depth is the best of any Army department. The Cadet center is Cliff Volz, a two-year letterman who is con sidered one of the finest centers in the east. The guards are letterman Bill Barker and Roger Mills, both seniors. The tackles are both returning lettermen with senior Mike Flan nery on the left and junior Ted Kawczyk on the right side of the line. Army’s strong point offensively is its passing, if the quarterbacks are given enough time to find their receivers. The tight end is Joe Miller, a letterman from last year’s squad. Mike Gaines, another veteran, is the split end. He was the fourth leading receiver for the team. The defense is anchored by right end Steve Bogosian, the team captain. A possible All- America selection, he led the Army tacklers with 92 last year. Another senior, Bob Souza, is the left defensive end with Charles Mitchell and Gary Mark ham the tackles. All are returning lettermen. The linebackers in Army’s four- four defense are also returning lettermen. Joe Furlone, Gary Topping, Scott Beaty and Skip Whitman are all looking for a better day than they had against Nebraska. Defensive halfbacks Matt Wotell and Mercer Ferguson lead the pass denfense with the help of safety Jim Bryan. SWC Football Mops Up On Non - Conference Foes DALLAS—All right, now, when was the last time the Southwest Conference ran up seven inter sectional victories and only one loss on a single day — or eight victories, counting member-elect Houston’s triumph? Before last Saturday, the an swer is never. The full slate of SWC games that produced only one loss stands as the greatest in number of victories. And you have to go back 15 years and one day, to Sept. 22, 1956, to find a time when SWC schools lost only one game. The home crowd won six of seven that day — before Texas Tech joined the SWC — including SMU over Notre Dame, Rice over Alabama and Baylor over California. Last week’s showing against six major conferences and an in dependent was approached only once in the 1960’s, a 6-2 reading on Sept. 18, 1965. Conference teams have done better in pre vious years — 7-0 in 1935 and 6-0 in 1941, for example — but those schedules included smaller Texas colleges. Texas and TCU became the final SWC teams to open their seasons Saturday, both winning to give the league a 6-2 opening- game reading for the year. to give the conference eight run ners who opened the season with 100-plus yardage games. Five runners continue to aver age better than 100 yards a game, paced by Texas Tech’s George Smith at 155.5 and SMU’s Alvin Maxson at 151.5. Smith is aver aging 10.4 yards per cary. Smith also wrestled the tandem offense (yards rushing and re ceiving) lead away from Maxson, who claimed both the rushing and tandem offense titles last year. Cadd, the Rice senior who fin- j ished second to Arkansas’ Joe ] Ferguson in SWC passing last season, connected on 31 passes for 368 yards and two touchdowns in the 29-10 victory over Clem- son. His completion average for two games is 19.5, pushing Fergu son out of the conference lead for the first time since the latter became Arkansas’ No. 1 quarter back at the start of last season. Gadd’s 31 completions tie for the fourth most ever by an SWC passer in a single game and his 368 yards rank sixth on the all- time list. His four touchdown passes in two games keep him just slightly off the per-game pace of SMU’s Chuck Hixson, who threw 21 TD strikes in a 10-game schedule in 1968.
