Clemson Matches A&M in Youth, Inexperience, Record
Teams Meet for First Time Saturday in Hills of South Carolina
When Texas A&M and Clem
son meet for the first time in
'redit* r"" 111 I history Saturday in South Caro-
’ 1V8l ®lina, they will field remarkably
similar teams.
Both are young, inexperienced
and both have identical 1-2 rec
ords thus far this season.
The Tigers have a new coach
in Red Parker who came from the
Citadel where he compiled a 39-
34 record in seven years. For his
debut year at Clemson he is faced

Handball, Tennis Courts
Reservations to be Required
i A reservations system will go
[into effect Monday for use of the
university’s handball and tennis
[courts, announced Dr. Carl W.
Landiss, head of the Health and
Physical Education Department.
Landiss said the reservations
system, along with the depart
ment’s new policy to restrict rec-
[reational facilities to students,
faculty and staff, was necessitat-
[ed by the heavy demand result-
| ing from increased enrollment.
Available hours for reserving
[handball courts in DeWare Field
House are: Monday-Thursday —
11:45 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. and 4 to
10 p.m.; Friday—12:15 to 1:15
[and 4 to 10 p.m.; Saturday—1 to
10 p.m. and Sunday, 2 to 8 p.m.
Tennis courts are available for
reservation from 6 to 8 p.m.
Reservations will be for one-
hour time blocks, Landiss said.
Handball courts 1 and 11 and
tennis courts 11 and 12 will be
“challenge” courts and not avail
able for reservations, Landiss
added, explaining they will oper
ate under rules posted at the
courts.
Reservations must be made be
fore 3 p.m. on the day of play
and can be made no more than one
working day in advance.
University identification cards
are required for use of the tennis
courts, swimming pools, handball
courts and other recreational fa
cilities in DeWare Field House
and G. Rollie White Coliseum. If
used by dependents, the depen
dents must be accompanied the

cept the swimming pools.

most positions.
Both the offense and defense
were stripped of their past heroes
by graduation. Gone are three
of the four top rushers, the lead
ing pass receiver and three start
ers in the secondary.
Parker, however, came rolling
in this spring and brought with
him a veer offense which is called
“The Tiger Triple.” Usually a
coach has to come in to rebuild
and the first thing he looks for is
a quarterback. Parker had no such
problem.
He has three capable signal-
callers for the Big Red Machine
in Ken Pengitore, Mark Fellers,
and Mike O’Cain.
Pengitore had the most impres
sive spring and the senior han
dled the quarterbacking duties last
season. But Fellers, a junior did
a better job of moving his unit in
the Orange-White spring game.
O’Cain, a sophomore, came up
from the javee unit and showed
some impressive credentials in the
spring drills.
Parker cites his most pressing
offensive problem is a deficiency
in the running back area. Senior
Smiley Sanders started last year,
but missed spring drills because
of baseball. And Chuck Huntley
and O. J. Tyler are the only other
two who have even carried the
ball in varsity competition.
Redshirt sophomore George
Bosse and senior Leon Fabers, a
converted defensive back, will
battle for the top spot at quick
back with Fabers holding the
slight edge at present.
Sophomore Leon Hope, a line
backer as a freshman last season,
was the bright offensive star in
the spring and he is listed as a
starter ahead of redshirt sopho
more Marvin Anderson and Hunt-
ley at strong back. Also, Ferrum
JC transfer Toni Mathews might
figure into the starting unit.
Clemson’s strong point offen
sively is its receiving corps. Park
er- has proven players and bright
newcomers at these positions.
Seniors Gordy Bengel, a two-
year starter, David Sasser and
Bob Shell, along with junior Jerry
Davis, are capable veterans to fill
the two split receiver posts. They
will be challenged by sophomores
Craig Brantle and Rickey Bustle
and JC transfer Jim Lanzendoen.
Senior Karl Andreas and soph
omore Bennie Cunningham could
be two of the premier tight ends
in the ACC. Each blocks and
catches well.
Junior lettermen Curt Butter-
more and Maret Cobb both are
prime candidates for starting
tackle spots but will have stiff
competition with sophomores
Chipper Davis, Brank Bethea and
JC transfer Ed Homonoff.
Junior Ken Peeples has moved
from a starting tackle position to
guard and probably will team
with sophomore Gary Alexander
on the other side. Senior Art Bri-
sacher, A1 Murray and sophomore
Guy Lombardo and Wayne Neely
are prospects.
Defense was Parker’s area of
greatest concern in the spring be
cause of inexperience. But de
fensive ends isn’t a weak spot.
Seniors Jeff Stocks and Bob Jones
and juniors Tom Boozer, Tim
Blackwelder and Guy Gehret and
sophomore Dave Hughston fill
those two positions adequately.
Senior Bruce Decock is the only
defensive tackle with any playing
time. Parker feels sophomore G.
G. Galloway, junior Dan McBride,
sophs David LeBel and George
Hyams and freshman Harry Ful-
wood will have to come through
and provide backup strength or
challenge for the starting posts.
He has quality but no quantity
at linebacker . in junior Jimmy
Williamson, senior Mike Buckner
and sophomores Frank Wise and
Jay Kreis. Willie Anderson and
Mark Boynton will battle for the
noseguard post.
In the weakened secondary,
senior Marion Reeves and sopho
more Lynn Carson loom as the
corner favorites with Jim Ness,
a returning starter, back at rover.
Sophomore Peanut Martin is
destined for stardom at a safety
and Ricky Brown and sophomore
Mark Lee, Tom Marsik and Tony
Rouse will fight for a starting
safety position.
“Our immediate goal is to have
a winning season. And we better
believe that we can do it. I
wouldn’t want anyone on the
squad who believed otherwise,”
says Parker.
“Right now, we feel there are
two or three positions that might
require some freshmen help. And
from the credentials of some of
our signees, we feel as though
we have a few prospects who ap
pear to be varsity material this
fall,” he concluded.

Size Unimportant
On Kickoff Returns
The smaller they are, the hard
er they run.
That seems to be the rule of
thumb among Southwest Confer
ence kickoff return specialists,
three of whom are making strong
bids for the national leadership.
James Sykes, the Rice fresh
man who returned one 99 yards
for a touchdown against Montana,
had a 96-yarder against LSU
last Saturday night to push his
average to 42.0 yards on eight
returns. Texas A&M’s Carl
Roaches scored on a 100-yard
return of the opening kickoff
against Boston College and is
now averaging 31.6 yards on sev
en returns. And finally, defend
ing SWC kickoff-return champ
Lawrence Williams of Texas Tech
has hauled eight for a 31.6-yard
mean.
They all have a few things in
common — each has scored a
touchdown on a return, they’re
all underclassmen and they prove
that size doesn’t mean that much
in their line. Freshman Sykes is
5-11 and 180, the bruiser of the
trio. Sophomore Roaches is the
runt at 5-8 and 165, while junior
Williams goes 5-11 and 175.
Texas fullback Roosevelt Leaks
took a big lead in his bid to be
come the first sophomore to re
peat as the rushing champion
since Texas’ Chris Gilbert claim
ed three straight in 1966-68. Leaks
is now rushing at 121.0 yards per
game, well ahead of runner-up
Wayne Morris of SMU (99.7).
Last year, Leaks became the third
straight sophomore to win the ti
tle and Morris is a sophomore this
year—so the race may not be set
tled yet. In third place at 92.3
yards per game is Alvin Maxson,
the 1971 rushing champ.
SMU continued to provide the
heavy team offensive punch. The
Mustangs have been little short
of sensational on the ground
through their three victories this
season. In those three outings,
SMU has posted the best, second
best and fourth best rushing to
tals in the school’s history—767
games in 59 seasons.
The old record of 376 yards was
set in 1945. The Mustangs broke'
it with 134 yards against Santa
Clara in their opener, almost
matched it with 370 yards against
Oregon State last week, and then
broke it for the second time in
three weeks Saturday by ripping
Virginia Tech for 510 yards.
