The A&M football squad trav
els to Lubbock Saturday with
plans to break a five-game win
ning streak that Texas Tech
presently holds against the Ag
gies.
The last Aggie win against the
Red Raiders came in 1967 when
Ed Hargett scored in the last
seconds of the game to give the
Aggies their first win of the sea
son and the push that kept them
undefeated for the rest of the
year. The result was the South
west Conference championship
and a win over Alabama in the
Cotton Bowl.
The Aggies would not be too
unhappy to see the same results

Note:
this year but a loss would inter
fere with Tech Plans. The Red
Raiders are still looking at a
Cotton Bowl berth despite having
already suffered a conference
loss to Texas.
The A&M-Tech game has been
an historically exciting one. In
1962, Tech took a 3-0 lead with a
field goal with 19 seconds left in
the game. On the kickoff that
followed, A&M’s Dan Mcllhaney
ran behind tremendous blocking
for 100 yards to give the Ags a
7-3 win. In 1967 Hargett, who
had negative yardage total be
fore the game, finished his 32-
yard scoring run with no time
left on the clock. Last year, Tech
made a 68-yard drive late in the
fourth quarter for a 17-14 lead
and then the Aggies drove to the
Tech 17 before Greg Waters in
tercepted a pass on the two-yard
line.
Tech is sporting a 3-1 record
this year with the loss to Texas
coming from numerous miscues.
Last week the Red Raiders were
impressive with a 20-7 win over
the llth-ranked Oklahoma State
Cowboys.
Leading the Tech offense this
year is quarterback Joe Barnes,
a pre-season all-SWC pick.
Barnes passed for 1,142 yards
last year to lead Tech to an 8-4
season. He is throwing less this
year but enjoying it more as he is
completing at a 60.5 percentage.
His favorite target is Lawrence
Williams who has grabbed 10 of
Barnes’ 23 completions this year.
Last year Williams was the lead
ing kickoff returner in the na
tion with 16 returns and 493
yards for a 30.8 average.
Another receiver not to be con
sidered lightly is tight end Andre
Tillman. Another pre-season All-
SWC pick and an all-America
candidate, Tillman was the Red
Raiders’ leading receiver last
year with 21 receptions.
Last year’s second leading re
ceiver is back at split end in the
form of Calvin Jones. The speedy
Jones caught 15 passes for 255
yards and a 17-0 average.
Tech also possesses three top
running backs in Rufus Myers,
George Smith and John Garner.
Smith was the leading Tech rush
er last year with 740 yards and
a 6.9 average while Myers led
the Tech freshmen with 523 yards
and a 5.2 average. Myers is lead
ing the Red Raiders this season
with 234 yards on 57 carries for
a 4.1 average.
The offensive line consists of
not much size but plenty of mus
cle. Outweighed by A&M’s of
fensive line by 29 pounds per
man, Tech makes up in speed
what it surrenders in size. At the
Intramural Results
Jocks Over Animals
Animal A, Al, met the Jocks,
12 and Sql4, in an important in
tramural football game Wednes
day.
Ford Sasser ran for I2’s first
penetration hut they were stale
mated by Sql4’s defense led by
Drue Petrilak and Mike Freidli.
Tom Shirk punted 12 out of
trouble with a 60 yard boot, but
the Jock’s James Gomez caught
the kick to retain possession.
The Animals held off the pass
ing game, the Jock’s offensive
strength. After seven plays the
Jocks turned the ball over to the
Animals.
Jeff Pinkerton, Animal back,
was constantly held back by Bill
Burkfield, but the Animals con
tinued to move down field with
the efforts of quarterback Nicky
Nicoles.
Steve Taylor of the Jocks
picked off an Animal pass on the
three yard line and the first half
ended with the Jocks having one
penetration, the Animals, 0.
With Jocks in possession, the
Animal defense held them in the
end zone and regained the ball.
Through a clipping penalty the
Animals lost valuable field posi
tion and missed a chance at a
much needed penetration.
The Animals took to the air,
which cost them an interception
by Jock Joe Henry. In a series of
penalties called against both
teams, 12 ended up with good field
position and Taylor managed a
charge and dive for a touchdown.
Mike Paugh and Pinkerton
made a penetration and led the
way to an apparent Animal TD.
The pass was intercepted by Tay
lor of the Jocks with two plays
remaining to give the Jocks a 6-0
win.
Longhorns
Revamping
Offensive Line
AUSTIN—Sophomore Will Wil
cox, 6-feet-3 and 230 pounds, has
replaced Bob Tresch at offensive
tackle for the Texas Longhorns,
completing a revamping of that
position since spring training.
The spring training starters
were Tresch 6-4 and 235, and Rich
Thurman, 605 and 240. But sopho
more Bob Simmons, 6-5 and 236,
won the job over Thurman, and
Wilcox was promoted in Tues
day’s workout for the Oklahoma
game Saturday.
tackles are Freddie Chandler and
Tom Ferguson with Floyd Kee
ney and Dennis Allen at guards.
At center is sophomore Jim Fra-
sure who will be backed by sen
ior letterman Larry Burnett.
The defense is headed by Eco-
met Burley, who was the only
freshman to make the Tech start
ing unit last season. At last
year’s Sun Bowl, Burley became
the first freshman in history to
be named the game’s outstand
ing lineman. Burley is the only
returning starter in the Tech de
fensive line but all the other posi
tions are occupied by lettermen.
Gary Monroe is the other tackle
while much-heralded David
Knaus is at noseguard. At the
ends are Aubrey McCain and
Tommy Cones.
The linebacker slots are occu
pied by Tom Ryan and George
Herro while Kenneth Wallace and
Randy Olson are the cornerbacks.
Wallace is another pre-season
all-SWC selection. Greg Waters
and Danny Willis are the Tech
safeties with Waters the top in
terceptor for last year with four
grabs. That makes up the South
west Conference’s top defense '
against the pass, giving up just
81.3 yards a game. The Aggies
are throwing the SWC’s top pass
ing attack against Tech with a
135.8 yards per game average so
something’s got to give.
