Hit it will be Army against Army
SM las the Texas Aggies host the
llack Knights from West Point
TC[jat 7:30 p.m.
jThis will be the second meeting
USCjietween these two teams who
em to be natural rivals due to
th schools’ military tradition.
ie Aggies took the first meet-
_lg in 19G9, 20-13, at West Point.
—JArmy comes directly from an
Jets Htounding 77-7 defeat at the
Ihands of defending national
7.3 Hiampion, Nebraska, while the
—Hggies have lost to Nebraska
ID-UHri LSU the past two weeks.
“We learned a very important
Isson Saturday — that we can’t
ake many mistakes as we did
Igainst a team like Nebr aska and
Tot pay for them,” Army mentor
|om Cahill said. ‘‘Nebraska
iouthm)
played very well and we played
very poorly. It’s as simple as
that.”
Injuries will be A&M’s biggest
problem Saturday night as three
of the four captains may not see
any action.
Middle linebacker Grady Hoer-
mann, fullback Brad Dusek and
defensive tackle Boice Best are
questionable for the game and
unless needed, will not play. All-
SWC running back, Mark Green
is also questionable for Saturday.
Starting halfback for Army,
Bob Portante, broke his right
wrist on the first play against
Nebraska and will be out for at
least two months according to the
Army coach. Tight end, Kevin
Craig suffered a mild leg bruise
but is slated to return to the
starting lineup by Saturday. Sen
ior receiver, Ed Francis, will like
wise be out of action due to a
fractured left leg received during
fall drills.
“We’ll be up against the Wish
bone offense for the first time,
and that alone has us concerned,”
Cahill said of the Aggies. “In
quarterback Lex James they have
a player with all the necessary
skills to run that type of offense.
Overall, A&M is a big, strong
football team who has already
played two of the best teams in
the country in Nebraska and
LSU. Their record of one vic
tory against two defeats does not
represent their true ability.”
The Aggies will start James at
quarterback and three freshmen
if Green and Dusek are unable to
play. At fullback will be Alvin
Bowers (210), Skip Walker (180)
and Bubba Bean (198) at half
backs.
In the offensive line will be
Skip Kuehn (233) at center, Todd
Christopher (237) and Buster
Callaway (258) at guards, Ralph
Sacra (238) and Mike Park (225)
at tackles and Homer May (230)
at tight end. Freshmen Richard
Osborne (210) and Carl Roaches
(155) will share duties at split
end.
The defensive line will be
manned by Max Bird (223) and
James Dubcak (240) at ends with
Bill Wiebold (228) and Boice
Best, if able, (233) or Ted Lamp
(215) at tackles. Linebackers
will be Grady Hoermann, if able,
(220) or Kenny Stratton (191),
Dennis Carruth (209) and Kent
Finley (209).
Corky Sheffield (180), A1 Thur
mond (174), Larry Ellis (172)
and Robert Murski (189) will con
trol the defensive secondary.
Murski will also do the punting
while Pat McDermott (160) will
handle extra points and field
goals. Randy Haddox (238) will
kickoff.

Those Fabulous Sixties
Relive wiftH us the fun-filled days of
fhal dizzy decade: the zany assassi

Ags Blank UTA
Water Polo Team
The A&M water polo team
swept its second victory in as
many starts, while blanking a
powerless University of Texas at
Arlington team, 28-0, Tuesday at
Downs Natatorium.
Junior Martin Litteken was the
high point scorer for the Aggies
with four points, while Doug
Meaden and Les Hamann followed
with three points.
Coach Dennis Fosdick said his
Aggie team had no trouble shut
ting out UTA with its defense
because the team couldn’t make
pass plays without his swimmers
intercepting the ball.
The A&M team will leave Wed
nesday by plane for California
to play at least eight games in
the state’s northern area. The
team is also entered in the North
ern California Invitational Water
Polo Championships being held
Oct. 6 and 7.

The Aggie Fish rode their
Wishbone attack and a stellar
defensive performance to a 30-7
victory over the Rice Owlets
Thursday night.
The offense ground out 301
yards rushing while the defense
was holding Rice to less than two
yards a carry.
The game was marred by 11
turnovers, eight of which were
forced by the Fish defensive unit.
The Rice backfield was full of
maroon jersied fish all night as
the defensive line of Kent Krue
ger, Blake Schwarz, Glenn Buj-
noch and Dennis Smelser rushed
Rice quarterbacks relentlessly.
In the meantime linebacker Garth
TenNapel was all over the field.
When TenNapel was not sack
ing the Owlet quarterback he was
intercepting a pass or picking up
a blocked punt and scoring a
touchdown. Rice quarterbacks
should have nightmares of Ten
Napel for weeks.
The Fish got on the scoreboard
first when Ronnie Hubby capped
a 70 yard drive with a two yard
plunge with 5:49 left in the first
stanza. The Owlets came back
on their next possession and
promptly mai'ched 80 yards to
knot the score at seven.
With only 3:04 left in the first
quarter the Fish capitalized on a
Rice holding penalty along with
the fine running of Melvin How
ard to threaten to score again.
With only two seconds remaining
in the first quarter A&M’s lead
ing rusher Bucky Sams followed
a beautiful David Greeno block
for a 24 yard touchdown run. Lee
White kicked his second of four
extra points and the Fish led
14-7.
The second quarter was score
less with play being dominated
by the Fish defense. The Aggie
front four held Rice to 29 yards
rushing in the first half while
giving up 119 yards in the air.
The Fish had a big chance to
break the game open early in the
third quarter when Rice fumbled
a White punt due to a crushing
blow by Pat Thomas, who recov
ered for the Fish on the Owlet 12.
After Hubby gained two yards
Fish quarterback Dale Ammons
fumbled the ball back to Rice.
A short Owlet punt left the
Fish on the Rice 47 where Am
mons redeemed himself with a
32 yard sweep of the right side
after the Fish had rushed for an
other first down. Hubby and
White again did the honoi’s and
the Fish led 21-0.
The rest of the scoring was
generated by the A&M defense.
With 23 seconds left in the
third quarter Charlie Arndt trip
ped Rice quarterback Bernardo
Corchuelov for a safety and A&M
stretched its lead to 23-0.
Starting Fish quarterback Dale
Ammons ran the Wishbone with
considerable poise, was knocked
woozy early in the fourth quarter
and replaced by Jim Hartman.
Hartman’s unfamiliarity with the
first team players showed as
A&M stalled due to fumbles and
miscues.
The defense got into the scor
ing range again as Kent Kruger
blocked a Rice punt and you
guessed it—Garth TenNapel took
it 15 yards for the final Fish
tally 30-7.
Bucky Sams was the leading
rusher for the Fish with 117
yards in 20 carries.
