TCU Win Streaks on Line Saturday Fast, Defensive Team to Oppose Aggies in Fort Worth TCU lays two winning streaks on the line when they play the Aggies Saturday in Fort Worth. The first is a four-game win ning streak the Horned Frogs hold over A&M and the other is an unbeaten streak TCU has at home this season. Though TCU has not lost at home this year neither have they won on the road as they post a 2-2 record for the year. The Frogs have already suf fered a conference loss, a 13-5 decision to Arkansas. The Ag gies have an identical SWC rec ord, losing 28-16 to Texas Tech last week in Lubbock. While A&M will be starting freshman quarterback David Walker, TCU plans no personnal changes but they welcome back tailback Mike Luttrell, who has been injured the past two weeks. Though Luttrell has not been impressive this season he was a terror to defense last year run ning for 906 yards as a sopho more.

Just off University Dr. ny Scott who was injured the next week against Idaho. Scott was replaced by Ron Littleton and Kent Waldrep. Littleton ran for 107 yards on 18 carries for a 5.9 average against Idaho but all four will be ready to play against the Aggies so who will play and how much play each will get is anybody’s guess. Kent Marshall has been direct ing the TCU attack passing for 307 yards and running for 88 more. The senior quarterback was injured for most of last sea son but is considered a good shot for all-SWC honors. Bobby Cowan is the starting fullback although he carried the ball only five times on the fresh man team last year and was con sidered fourth string before the season started. Steve Patterson is the flanker and the leading receiver on the club with 11 catches for 135 yards and a touchdown. At the ends are Dave Duncan at wide receiver and John Ott at tight end. The TCU line is considered small but fast but there is an ex ception to every rule and the ex ception in the offensive line is tackle Sidney Bond, who weighs in at a hefty 286 pounds. Merle Wang is at the other tackle with Terry Champagne and John Mc Williams at guards and Leon Bartlett at center. The defense is led by two all- star performers. One is tackle Charlie Davis who tips the scales at 6-3, 260 pounds. Davis was all-SWC and third string Associated Press All- America last year and figured on several preseason all-Ameri ca picks this season. He has been playing at an all-America pace wreaking havoc in opponent’s backfields and recovering fum bles three times in four games. The other defensive stalwart is linebacker Dede “Mean” Ter- veen. The 6-2, 235 pound junior was an all-SWC pick last year and made most pre-season all SWC picks this summer. He leads the Frogs in tackles and picked up his first interception of the season against Idaho and return ed it eight yards to set up a TCU touchdown. Defensive End Rusty Putt has also been garnering praise this year. TCU’s only five-year man, Putt has been playing at a pace that makes coach Ralph Smith figure hje’s all-SWU material. “It’s hard to say enough nice about Rusty,” said Smith. “He was probably our most consist ent, most steady defensive play- Rice in Trouble? DALLAS (A 1 )—-Cliff Speegle, executive secretary of the South west Conference, says allegations in a free lance writer’s book about Rice pay-offs to football players could get the Owls into hot water if proven by SWC investigators. “It’s serious enough to put anyone on probation as far as National Collegiate Athletic As sociation regulations are con cerned,” Speegle told the Associ ated Press. Both Rice and the SWC are attempting to interview people mentioned in the book, “Satur day’s Children” by Giles Tippette, dealing with the 1971 Rice foot ball season. Pi Tau Prepares For Convention Final preparations are under way for the Pi Tau Sigma na tional convention scheduled this weekend at TAMU. The national mechanical engi neering honor society will send more than 120 delegates to the three-day convention, which opens Friday, noted Bill Rumbaugh, publicity chairman for the TAMU chapter of the organization. The organization promotes communication between students and faculty in mechanical engi neering. Efforts are also made by the society to promote under standing of mechanical engineer ing practices and ideals. Activities for the convention will be centered around TAMU’s Zachry Engineering Center and the Ramada Inn in College Sta tion, according to Rumbaugh.

Tippette said C. A. Roberts, a personal assistant to then head coach Bill Peterson, would phone a wealthy Rice alumnus. “Next day a check would ar rive, made out to Roberts, and he’d cash the check and give the money to Barnes,” the book said. Tippette said, “Barnes also got more game tickets than the rest of the squad. By conference rules a player was allowed four tickets to each game. But Barnes could ^get 15 or 20. He’d sell these to benevolent alumni for as much as two or three times their face value.” Barnes tol4 Frank Luksa of the Dallas Times Herald that the allegations in the book were “an outright lie. There was no situ ation where I got 20 tickets and no situation where I sold tickets to anyone. I don’t believe Mr. Tippette ever observed anything he wrote about. “When I did get more than two tickets, I gave them to par ents and friends. I don’t think in my whole career at Rice I gave or sold any tickets to alumni. If I gave any to them, it was only once or twice. Barnes added, “Tippette may have gotten more tickets than I did.” Speegle told the AP that a joint investigation by Rice and the SWC was started after “The university called our attention to it before the book came out. Rice had a preview of the book.” Speegle added, “It hasn’t been proven that the statements in the book were true. If it is, then the findings go before our faculty committee. “I’m sure the National Colle giate Athletic Association is aware of the investigation. The result could be announced at our winter meeting in December. It’s difficult to contact as many people as mentioned in the book. The conference office is attempt ing to contact them through our private investigators.” shoe pit CO.
