We have separate Girls' Dorm. ve his "Lead stake he mi ent to perfont ■i tU(il b'-U By BILL HENRY Battalion Sports Editor Coach Ednory Bellard was all smiles again Tuesday afternoon at his weekly press conference. The rookie head mentor is much more talkative after a win, and he smiles more. The smiles won’t last too long as Bellard has two big problems facing him and his Aggies this week. The first is what to do about Rice and the second is what to do about defensive ends. Three defensive ends which in clude two starters are doubtful for this week’s encounter against Rice. Senior left end Max Bird, in jured against Arkansas, has been working out this week but is not hack at full speed. “We are making plans to play without Max Saturday,” Bellard said. Paul Hulin, starter on the right iside, hurt a shoulder against SMU and is also not ready to play. Also injured is Don Long who replaced Bird in last Saturday’s contest. Long suffered a knee injury. To remedy this situation, Bel lard has switched freshman Glenn Bujnoch from offensive tackle to defensive end. Mike Bruton, who caused SMU quarterback Keith Bobo to fumble late in last week’s game, and freshman Blake Schwarz are also available for duty.

Bellard feels Rice will give his Aggies all they can handle Sat urday afternoon. “They throw and run real well,” Bellard said. “They’re a darn fine offensive football team. They have a great passer and great re ceivers. Tight end Skip Butler gives them a lot of help because he can catch in the clutch and in heavy traffic. “Quarterback Bruce Gadd is a capable passer and he leads the conference. They just have a lot of talent in the offense. “Defensively they are very sound also. They’re big, aggres sive and active. Safety Bruce Henley did as much in they’re win as anyone on the team return ing punts and covering Arkansas’ receivers.” Leaks-Led ‘Horns Leading Stat Battle The offense is full of Leaks, but the defense isn’t, and so Texas has clinched a tie for its fifth straight Southwest Conference football championship. Statistics released Tuesday show fullback Roosevelt Leaks and the bruising Longhorn ground game at the head of the SWC offensive pack and the de fense holding a wide lead in the vital category of touchdowns al lowed. The bullish sophomore from Brenham increased his rushing lead with a two-touchdown, 162- yard effort against Baylor last Saturday. He's now averaging 117.8 yards per game rushing and he also took over the tandem of fense (yards gained rushing and receiving) lead at 120.3 yards. In both categories, Arkansas junior tailback Dickey Morton is the runnerup with 106.8 yards and 115.8. Leaks also moved up to a tie for second in scoring at 6.3 points per game and held sixth place in total offense behind five quarter backs. And for the first time this sea son, Texas replaced Texas Tech as the total offense leader, 371.1 yards per game to 370.2. Tech had led since rolling up 615 yards in its opening game against Utah. And Texas increased its rushing offense lead over Tech to 290.9 yards per game against 253.4 per game for the Raiders. Texas remained in fourth place in total defense, but the Longhorn defenders have allowed only seven touchdowns in eight games. That’s almost a two-to- one spread on defensive leader Baylor (13 TD’s in eight games) and fifth place Tech (13 in nine). It’s also an average of one touch down yielded for every 80.6 plays the opposition runs. The Texas offense, meanwhile, is averaging a touchdown for ev ery 26.3 offensive snaps while Ar kansas is scoring once every 27.2 plays and Tech once every 32.0. Texas also threatens season- long leader SMU in rushing de fense. The Mustangs are allowing 119.1 yards per game to Texas’ 123.4. In addition to Leaks taking over the tandem lead, there were two new pace-setters in individ ual categories. Rice’s Edwin Collins moved into a tie with teammate Gary But ler in receptions, both with 33 for an average of 4.1 per game. SMU freshman Kenny Harrison remain ed third at 4.0 and defending SWC receiving champ Mike Reppond of Arkansas held fourth at 3.7. Another Owl took over the punt return lead. Bruce Henley return ed seven for 104 yards in the vic tory over Arkansas and is now averaging 15.5 yards on 14 re turns. SMU’s Kris Silverthorn, the national leader before being beaten out by one-tenth of a yard last week, also lost his SWC lead by the same margin this week. He has returned 25 for a 15.4-yard average. Kickers rewrote long-distance | records for the year Saturday. Texas A&M’s Pat McDermott got off a 54-yard field goal jn tlie yic-^ tory over SMU and Texas’ Alan Lowry boomed a quick kick 82 yards. In for praise for performances against SMU were defensive tackles Boice Best, Bill Wiebold, linebackers Grady Hoermann, Ed Simdnini and Kent Finley. >“Boice played super against SMU,” Bellard said. “He’s played real well since the conference games began. He’s been hanjpered by injuries early in the season and wasn’t in real good condi tion. He’s well now and he’s play ing excellently.” Bellard also had something nice to say about the offense. “For a quarter last week we looked like a good offensive foot ball team,” he said. He also singled out freshman Ronnie Hubby for his play. Hub by scored once and made great blocks to clear Skip Walker on his touchdown runs. “He has natural running abili ty, good balance, great strength and is a solid individual,” Bellard said. “He grins all the time and is just a great kid.” Bellard theorized on fumbles and freshman as all three touch downs were scoi’ed by freshmen backs and the Aggies have only lost one fumble in two games. “Fumbles aren’t something you can work on stopping in practice,” he said. “It’s just something you can’t figure out. Some of it has been caused by inexperience. It’s a long way from Del Valle, Kirby- ville and Clovis to Southwest Conference football.” T r Rice Tickets Available Wally Groff, Athletic Business Manager, has announced that tickets to the Rice game will be on sale the remainder of the week to give students a chance to pick them up. He also indicated that tickets for the Texas game to be held in Austin Thanksgiving Day will not be sold after Friday afternoon. Any tickets left for the annual ■ “Turkey Day Game” after Friday j must be sent back to Austin to j be sold.
