Page 8 College Station, Texas Wednesday, April 18, 1973 THE BATTALIOH Royal Says Longhorns Have More Offensive Puncll Editor’s Note: Here is the first in a series of spring sizeups of Southwest Conference football teams. The first article deals with defending champion Texas which has won five consecutive titles: AUSTIN UP>—Can No. 3 Texas be No. 2? Southern California, the defend ing national champion in college football, generally is conceded the top spot again, but a national tab loid already has tabbed the Long horns for second. “I wish I could buy that,” com ments Coach Darrell Royal, whose 1963 and 1969 teams won national titles. “I don’t think we’re any No. 2 team.” Texas whipped Alabama 17-13 in the Cotton Bowl to finish third this past season with a team Royal described last spring as be ing “as average as every day’s wash.” Take note: this year, he says, “We have something more solid offensively than we did last spring.” What he has is two strong, fast sophomore quarterbacks and possibly the best fullback in col lege football—Roosevelt Leaks— running from the Wishbone-T be hind an agile, quick line that av erages 230 pounds. Leaks, a 209-pounder who churned for 1,099 yards as soph omore; center and co-captain Bill Wyman, 6-feet-2 and 235; and the co-captain of the defense, line backer Glen Gaspard, a 223-pound- er as fast as many halfbacks, are being touted as all-Americans. Marty Akins and Mike Presley are a step or two faster than the 1972 quarterback, Alan Lowry, and Royal often points out that Akins was strong enough as a high school senior to throw the 12-pound shot over 60 feet. In Texas’ final spring training intrasquad game, Akins, 6-0 and 195, dashed for 156 yaixls on 22 carries and scored touchdowns on runs of 10, 10 and 12 yards before bruising his elbow midway of the third quarter. Presley, 6-2 and 200, completed seven of 12 passes for 204 yards, including scoring tosses of 67 and 86 yards to split receiver Jim Moore. It is a paradox that Texas, which usually throws only on third and long yardage, is so deep at wide receiver that the third team- er, Chris Lemberg, was applauded after three acrobatic catches in the spring training finale. Texas lost a chunk out of its defense when all-Southwest Con ference linebacker Randy Bra- band, who made the crucial fourth- down stop on Alabama’s Wilbur Jackson in the Cotton Bowl, com pleted his eligibility. His replace ment is Wade Johnston, 215, a high school shot put champion, and Royal says it is "prettyl pai-ent the defensive seconiiarj| not settled.” But eight defensive starters! turn. Possibly more revealing words, however, on the pros] of the ’73 Longhorns was Roy agreement to televise the wrs| of spring training in five DKR ain’t in the habit of si ing off those that don’t rate PRODUCE DEPARTMENT.
