Depleted Fish Face Tech
In Battle Of Unbeaten Teams
By KEVIN COFFEY
A&M takes a depleted Fish
squad to Lubbock to face the un
beaten Texas Tech Picadors to
night.
The Fish have had their ranks
depleted by the advancement of
13 freshman to the Aggie var
sity and the injury of starting
tight end David Greeno.
The Picadors are 4-0 with wins
over TCU, Arkansas, Houston and
Oklahoma. The Fish are 3-0 hav
ing defeated Rice, TCU and Bay
lor.
Tech has lost three members
of their squad to the Raider var
sity.
The starting offensive lineup
for the Fish has Dale Ammons
running the Wishbone at quarter
back. The halfbacks are Tony
Blankenship and Bucky Sams.
Jim Hartman is the fullback.
The offensive line has Wayne
litis and Scott Knippa at tackles;
Tyrone Wright and Terry Crown-
over at guards and George Bohn
at center.
The receivers for the Fish are
split end Roy Murry and tight end
Bill Newton.
Defensively the Fish line up
with Dan Allen and Ron Garrison
at the ends with Kent Krueger and
Bruce Welch at the tackles spots.
The Fish linebackers are Carl
Warnke and in the middle with
Garth TenNapel and Kim Scott
on the outsides.
The Fish pass defense has
Jackie Williams and Charlie
Arndt on the comers and safeties
Doug Wood and Jeff Helsa.
Kickoff for the Tech game is
scheduled for 7:30 with KORA
radio broadcasting the game lo
cally at 7:25.

Football causes some of the strangest happenings to players and
fans alike around here in the Southwest Conference.
Take Joe Ferguson for example.
Last year, Ferguson had probably the best game of his entire career
in organized athletics against A&M. He threw 51 times, completed 31
for 345 yards and had only one interception. Even with this great
performance, he and his Razorbacks lost by eight points, 17—9.
Saturday, he threw 26 times, completed nine and had six
intercepted. This performance was the worst performance of his career
and his team lost by three points, 10—7.
The 6-1, 182 pound senior, a former All-America schoolboy from
Shreveport, La., was recruited with the belief that sometime during his
tenure in the Ozarks he would guide Arkansas to a SWC championship.
Well, this never came true for coach Frank Broyles and his Cajun
star.
Last year, the Razorbacks had the conference crown all but in the
dressing room after beating the Texas Longhorns like a drum, 31-7.
Ferguson hit on 14 of 24 attempts for 249 yards and two touchdowns.
The Razorback defense stopped the famed Texas Wishbone attack,
limiting it to 140 yards and returned all but two starters off that
defensive team.
Two weeks later, after mauling North Texas 60—21, the
Razorbacks were blasted by A&M thus putting Arkansas in a tie with
Texas for the top spot, but with a win over the Longhorns.
Instead of playing heads-up football the next week, Arkansas
lucked into a tie with Rice after trailing throughout the contest and
knocked itself out of title contention.
Now, look at a team like Baylor. The Bears were picked as the
definite ‘cellar-dweller’ for 1972. They had a new coach, a new system
and many new players. They didn’t have a chance.
Well, not having a chance, the Bears finds themselves as the only
team still able to dethrone Texas for the championship.
Baylor has done two things that look tremendous. The Bears have
beaten Missouri (which has topped Notre Dame and Colorado on
consecutive weekends) badly, 27-0, and stomped TCU badly, 42-9.
Now did Baylor look like a team to beat anyone by 33 points
against A&M the previous week? And didn’t TCU look pretty tough
even though the Aggies had a good chance to win in the 13—10 game?
Look at the fans. At Baylor, the chances of having a sell-out crowd
against anybody was about as likely as getting liquor-by-the-drink at the
Baylor Student Union. You can’t get a seat now.
This isn’t being derrogatory toward fans, but shows the interest
people have in the game for a winner.
The same is happening here. Finding a seat for the Rice game isn’t
going to be a problem, but wait until the Texas game.
The Aggies went from dogs to heroes in a week. The campus was
buzzing Monday with praise, but no one took into account that the
Aggies didn’t particularly play well.
This is not to take anything away from the win because it was
super, really super. But the Aggies played much better football against
TCU and Tech. If A&M had got a third as many breaks against the three
teams that beat the Aggies, they would be 4—0 in loop standings and
you couldn’t find a seat anywhere.
Football is a strange game, and I guess anyone who writes sports
has got to be a little strange too.
