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

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.
