Ferguson-Led Hogs To Challenge Ag
By KEVIN COFFEY

Arkansas brings a team which
has its ups and downs this season
to face the Texas Aggies Satur
day afternoon.
The Hogs started the season on
a sour note when they lost to
USC in their opener. Rated num
ber four in the country in pre
season polls and an almost cinch
to win the Southwest Conference,
the Razorbacks dropped their an
nual shootout with Texas and a
Cotton Bowl berth looks bleak for
Arkansas. However they are a
highly talented team which could
get a bowl bid if they win the
rest of the contests.
Arkansas lost only five start
ers from last year’s 8-2-1 Liberty
Bowl team. They return 33 let-
termen, five of which gained all-
Southwest Conference honors.
They are coached by Frank
Broyles whose .743 winning per-

About Maurice Angly...
He’s the candidate for State Treasurer who has pointed out Jesse James’
role in the Sharpstown scandal.
State Rep. Maurice Angly is an Austin attorney with a thorough knowl
edge of state government. He’s a graduate of the University of Texas School
of Law. He’s married to the former Surrenden Hill and they have three chil
dren.
Since 1967 he’s been a hard-working, effective legislator. He was one of
the original small group of legislators who stood firm last year and spoke out
for a full investigation of the Sharpstown scandal.
Rep. Angly is the only Republican ever elected in Austin. He has been
reelected twice, as the top vote-getter among all GOP candidates on the tick
et, because he earned bi-partisan support.
He pledges to run the treasurer’s office as a public trust for all of the
taxpayers of Texas. He won’t play favorites as James has done for years in
placing the State Deposits.
On November 7, vote for reform
and responsibile state government
with Rep. Maurice Angly for State
Treasurer.

Heisman Trophy candidate Joe
Ferguson leads the Arkansas of

“I” formation. Last year he led
the conference on total offense
and was selected the league’s of
fensive player of the year.

thrill. It was my best season
ever in baseball.”
Perry, who moved to the Cleve
land Indians last season after 10
years with the San Francisco
Giants of the National League,
had two 20 victory seasons with
the Giants 21-8 in 1966 and 23-13
in 1970.
But he considers the 1972 cam
paign in which he achieved his
lowest earned-run average his
best and noted that eight of his
16 losses “were by one run in
low-scoring ball games.”
“The big thing that helped me
after moving to the American
League,” said Perry, “is that they
had only one Astroturf infield—
the Chicago White Sox’s. The
rest are on natural grass. The
National League has six Astro
turfs, and that made it a little
harder.
“I’m a low ball pitcher and try
to get them to hit on the ground.
On Astroturf the ball moves
through a little quicker. Grass
helps out in slowing it down.”
“I’d say the other major factor
in my good season was catcher
Ray Fosse,” Perry added. “I rate
him with the best around as far
as receiving the ball, setting the
hitter up and calling the game.
He was one of the big pluses.”
For his award-winning season,
Perry said, “I didn’t make any
drastic changes in my delivery.
I just pitched every fourth day
which is what I wanted.”
You’d think after losing six straight football games the Texas
Aggies would be miserably behind in statistics. Right? Wrong!
The Aggies have outgained the opponents in total offense by
almost 100 yards (2,091-1,997). In rushing, the Aggies have the edge
1196 to 1164 and passing 899-832. They have more yards in returns
577-522 and have thrown three fewer intercepted passes.
In seven games the Aggies have fumbled 33 times and lost 20. The
opponents have fumbled 15 times and lost only five. That gives the
Aggies about twice as many fumbles but four times as many lost.
You’d also think that the Aggies would be terribly outscored
overall. Well, that’s false. They have averaged losing by a little over
eight points per game. That includes a 30-point loss to Nebraska and a
25-point loss to LSU. A&M has lost all three conference games by a
total of eight points: Tech won 17-14, TCU won 13-10 and Baylor
won 15-13,
A&M has an average per game total offense mark of 299.3 and
stands seventh in the conference ahead of only Baylor. In defense, the
Aggies are ranked second, allowing only 285.1 per contest behind the
nations best, SMU, with 281.5.

The use of freshmen in major college football at the beginning of
the season was thought to be very slight but around the conference and
here at A&M, the use of the “rookies” has had a traumatic effect.
Here, freshmen have done a super job for the varisty. Bubba Bean,
Skip Walker and Alvin Bowers are third, fourth and fifth on the team in
rushing. Bean and Carl Roaches are tied with Mark Green for the
scoring lead with 18 points. Richard Osborne leads the team in pass
receptions with 22 for 316 yards and Roaches is third with eight
catches for 144 yards.
Roaches also leads the team in punt return yardage with 12 returns
for 138 yards and kickoff returns with eight returns for 215 yards.
Walker is second and Bean is third.
Ed Simonini is quickly catching up to the leaders in tackles after
getting his first starting assignment against Tech.
Overall in the conference, freshmen are really doing a job.
Wayne Morris, SMU, is the conference’s fifth leading rusher with a
91-yard per game average. He also possesses the SWC’s longest rushing
play from scrimmage with an 82-yard run against New Mexico State.
Kenny Harrison, SMU, is the SWC’s third best pass receiver with 17
receptions for 330 yards. Over half that came against Rice over regional
TV a couple weeks ago with eight catches for 177 yards.
Osborne is the SWC’s seventh leading receiver and Roaches is the
third best punt returner.
The pass defense is M
cornerbacks Louis CampM
Jim Irwin. The safetysarsl
Hallingsworth and fresh
Tommy Harris.
I’m sure it is of little consolation to coach Emory Bellard but when
“Bear” Bryant began coaching here back in 1955, his first season was
1-9. But, his next year was 7-2-1 and only a 21-6 loss to Texas kept his
team out of the Cotton Bowl. The next year the Aggies were 9-0-1 with
the tie coming against Houston. The next year, 1957, the Aggies were
rated No. 1 in the nation with an 8-0 record going into the next-to-final
game against Rice. They ended the season with three losses from there
on: Rice, 7-6, Texas, 9-7, and Tennessee in the Gator Bowl, 3-0.
Another slight consolation may come in the fact that the 1949
Texas team had a 3-3 conference record after losing to SMU and TCU
by one point and dropping a runaway two-point decision to Rice. Texas
came back from the 1949 snakebites to claim two outright SWC titles
and a share of a third in the next four years — That’s a consolation.
Tickets may still be picked up for the Arkansas game in the athletic
business office up until Saturday says Wally Groff, business manager.
