Make Reservations By Calling BAPTIST STUDENT UNION 846-6411 the nation by the Associated Press, LSU features an outstand ing defense which has become al most tradition at Tiger Stadium. Throw against the Tiger de fense, A&M has a fleet set of backs and receivers and a talent ed but largely untested offensive line. One receiver that will be very much on the minds of the Ben- gals is Carl Roaches, who ran a kickoff back for 97 yards and a touchdown in last lear’s 42-17 loss. Roaches ranks as the fastest receiver in the SWC. Richard Osborne will be play ing tight end against the Tigers this year, a switch from last sea son when he alternated with Roaches as wide receiver. At quarterback, Mike Jay should be recovered enough from his foot sprain so that it won’t give him any problems. Jay in jured the foot in the first quarter of Saturday’s 48-0 victory over Wichita State. He completed the game without problems from the injury but it caused some con cern at the first of the week. Backing Jay will be freshman David Walker whose first college action Saturday was a bit dis couraging with three interceptions and a 21-yard touchdown run called back on a penalty. The Aggies feature a five-man “starting” running back corps consisting of Ronnie Hubby, Bub- ba Bean and Skip Walker at half backs and Bucky Sams and Alvin Bowers at fullback. Walker will also be remembered at LSU as he scored the other Aggie TD in last year’s game. Bean and Bow ers played against the Tigers last year while Hubby and Sams were on the freshman team. Bowers is presently the 17th top rusher in the nation with a 126-yard performance against Wichita State. Walker is tied for second in the nation in scoring with 18 points from his three- touchdown night against the Shockers. The line is led by junior center Ricky Seeker. Seeker played against the Tigers as a tackle last year. Sophomore tackles Glen Bujnoch and Dennis Smel- ser and guards Bud Trammell and Bruce Welch will all be new faces at Tiger Stadium. Fresh man guai-d Billy Lemons should also see action Saturday. The defense is the pride of the Football squad at A&M just as it is at LSU. Led by all-star line backer Ed Simonini, the defense kept Wichita State from mount ing even a serious threat in last weekend’s shutout. “When you shutout a foe,” said Simonini, “that’s the ultimate for the de fensive unit.” Joining Simonini as the other starting outside linebacker will be sophomore Garth Ten Napel with junior Kenny Stratton fill ing up the middle. Top reserves that should see some action are 6-2, 245-pound John McCrumbly and speedster Lester Hayes. Last year’s state 4A 220-yard dash champ, Hayes thrilled the crowd last weekend with his flashing speed into Wichita State’s back- field. It was nothing new for the Shockers to find an Aggie rush ing into their backfield, however, as several members of A&M’s front four spent quite a bit of the night there. “Our defensive line played an outstanding game,” said head coach Emory Bellard, “especially in being able to con trol the line of scrimmage.” Junior Don Long is on one end while Paul Hulin and Blake Schwarz hold down the other. Juniors Ted Lamp and Warren Trahan are the tackles. Two freshmen which will probably see plenty of play are tackle Jimmy Dean and end Tank Marshall. Sophomore tackle Kent Krue ger will make his first appear ance against LSU but the Tiger fans will recognize his name. His brothers, Charlie and Rolf, have both played against LSU as Ag gie all-Americas, Charlie in ’56 and Rolf in ’67 and '68. To defend against LSU’s accu rate passing duo of Mike Miley and Billy Broussard, who went 9 for 12 against Colorado last weekend, A&M has the most ex perienced player on the squad, two-year letterman safety Larry Ellis. With him in the defensive backfield are transfers Tim Gray at cornerback and James Daniels at safety who will be making their first appearance in Tiger Stadium as Aggies. Filling in at the other cornerback spot is soph omore Pat Thomas, who ran bdck a 51-yard interception for a touch down against Wichita State and presently leads the conference in interception return yardage. Kicking for A&M will be Ran dy Haddox, who was impressive making long field goal attempts in practice this week. Handling the punting is sophomore Mark Stanley, who is the leading punter in the SWC and is 11th in the nation with a 43.2 average. Texas Opens Against Miami To Highlight SWC Weekend The Texas Longhorns, who have only lost seven of 80 previous openers, take dead aim on the national title and a sixth conse cutive Southwest Conference foot ball championship tonight against the Miami Hurricane in the Orange Bowl. The Longhorns are solid 16- point favorites over Miami, which lost to Texas last year in Mem orial Stadium. a 10-point choice over New Mex ico. Arkansas did itself proud in a losing cause last week, falling 17-0 to No. 1 ranked Southern California, which had been a four- touchdown pick. The Razorbacks will have to pick up their offense to handle Oklahoma State, a five- point selection. In two other day games, shell shocked Baylor is at Pittsburgh while Southern Methodist takes to the far West to play Oregon State. Texas Coach Darrell Royal has won 87 SWC games and needs nine more wins to surpass Jess Neeley as the coach with the most overall victories at a conference school. In 27 years at Rice, Neel ey’s teams won 144 games. In 16 years at Texas, Royal’s teams have won 136. Marty Akins, only a sopho more, will start at quarterback in the awesome Longhorn Wish- bone-T attack. Texas’ offense last year consisted mainly of handing the ball off to thunder running Roosevelt Leaks, a jun ior who is in top form this season. In another game tonight, the University of Houston, which be gins SWC play for keeps in 1976, hosts tough South Carolina. The Gamecocks blasted Georgia Tech last week. Texas Tech and Arkansas pa rade before the regional televi sion earners Saturday. The Red Raiders host New Mexico and Arkansas entertains strong Ok lahoma State in Little Rock. The Red Raiders, generally picked to finish second to Texas in the SWC title chase this year, survived a scare from surprising ly tough Utah last week. Tech is Girl’s Softball Visits Lamar For Tourney Softball is the name of the game for the women traveling to Beaumont for the Lamar Univer sity tournament. The girls will be competing against five other teams in round- robin competetion. Friday A&M will meet Lamar at 4 p. m. and Texas Women’s University at 7 p. m. Starting in this year’s opener will be Robin Oakley, pitcher; /Arlene Averill, catcher; Terri Sandvik, 1st base; Liz Blackwood 2nd base; Sarah Savage, 3rd base; Connie Karcher, short stop; Lo- rita Fickey, left field; Debbie Ber- rier, center field; and Debrah Brown, right field; with Belinda Gaines working as manager. The girls have played in sum- fmer softball leagues and are ready to challenge the other teams. Sponsored by the Women’s Sports Association, these women are engaged in Southwest Confer ence play throughout the fall. UNIVERSITY TRAVEL PEANUTS By Charles M. Schulz PEANUTS Baylor is bruised and battered after a 42-14 slaughter by Okla homa. Pitt played Georgia to a 7-7 tie. The Bears have lost cen ter Cary Dorman and linebacker Don Bockhom for this one and the Panthers are 41-2 point picks. Pitt Coach Johnny Majors says of Baylor: “The Baylor coaching staff did a fine job last year. I’m sure they didn’t play near their capabilities against Oklahoma.” SMU and Oregon State meet for the first time. Oregon State lost 18-9 to rugged Auburn last week while the Mustangs romped to a 49-7 victory over weak Santa Clara. SMU is a 6 1-2 point pick over Oregon State. Texas Christian is a 19-point favorite over Texas-Arlington in the Homed Frog opener Sat urday night at Amon Carter Sta dium. Coach Billy Tohill of TCU will be making a comeback from a near-fatal automobile accident this spring. Rice is such a heavy favorite over Montana in Houston Satur day night that the oddmakers have taken the game off the boards.
