Page 6 College Station, Texas Thursday, November 1, 1973 THE BATTALION Porkers Hope for Big Win Against Ags A&M Takes Two-Game Winning Streak to Fayetteville By TED BORISKIE Assistant Sports Editor A&M is taking its longest ex isting win streak — two games — to Fayetteville Saturday in the annual match-up with the Arkan sas Razorbacks. In 1971 the Aggies handed the Hogs one of only two losses suf fered that season and last year Arkansas came to Kyle Field with one of the top passers in the na tion, Joe Ferguson, and A&M in tercepted him six times for a 10- 7 win. This year the Porkers are field ing no national power but re venge is sweet and the seniors on the Arkansas squad have been twice humiliated by a supposedly lesser A&M team. With the Ag gies’ football fortunes on the up swing while Arkansas struggles to remain respectable, it’s a sure bet the Razorbacks would like nothing more than to turn the tables and send the Aggies home crying for a change. Coach Frank Broyles holds a 12-4 edge over A&M with one decision, a loss, coming in 1957 while he was coach at Missouri. This year he has seen his once- awesome Razorback offense prove punchless in losses to Southern California (17-0), Oklahoma State (38-6) and Texas (34-6). The Arkansas offense is spelled Dickey Morton and when Morton has a good day, so does the rest of the squad. Morton had 156 yards rushing in 17 attempts for one touchdown and a 9.2 average against Tulsa last week. He had his fourth long touchdown run INSURANCE — HOME LOANS BUSIER-JONES AGENCY Equal Opportunity Housing 1200 Villa Maria — 823-0911 FARM & HOME SAVING ASSOCIATION (Nevada, Mo.)

He had a 68- yard touchdown run against Iowa State and 68 and 81-yard scores against Baylor earlier in the sea son. Morton’s 156 yards rushing was his twelfth 100-plus career performance, his third this sea son. He had six last year and three as a sophomore. Morton has gained 801 yards in 123 carries for a 6.5 average this year and is second on the SWC career rushing list with 2820 yards in 492 attempts and a 5.7 average. Chris Gilbert (Texas ’66- 68) holds the record with 3221 yards in 595 carries, and Morton is just 411 yards shy of that mark. Since Arkansas changed its of fense to the slot-I from the wish bone prior to the Iowa State game, Morton has gained 710 yards in 103 carries for a 6.9 aver age. He had 73 yards in the sea son opener at Southern Cal and 18 yards against Oklahoma State in the first two games. But from the new formation, he has gained 137 yards against Iowa State, 76 against TCU, 271 at Baylor, 68 against Texas and 156 against Tulsa. Leading the Porkers’ offensive attack is quarterback Mike Kirk land. Junior Scott Bull, who was impressive in leading Arkansas to victory in the final game against Texas Tech last year, was originally slated for the slot but a pre-season injury put him out for the year. Kirkland, more a passer as Bull was considered a runner, stepped in and shakily directed the first two games until the formation switch where he settled down a bit. Filling out the backfield are wingback Freddie Douglas and fullback Alan Watson, one of six freshmen slated to start against the Aggies. Nick Avlos is the tight end while Jack Ettinger is the wide receiver. Ettinger is the leading Porker receiver and third in the conference with 19 catches to his credit. Avlos has had only one reception and is used primarily as a blocker. Gerald Skinner and Lee King are the tackles, Russ Tribble and R. C. Theilemann are the guards while Stan Audas fills in at cen ter. Skinner and Thielemann are freshmen. The Hog defensive unit is gen erally considered to be a bit more solid than the offense but has seen its share of bad breaks due to injuries this year. Linebacker Danny Rhodes was considered an all-America candi date pre-season but has not been performing at a level to gain na tional recognition thus far. He is the third leading Hog tackier behind tackle Jon Riddlehoover and injured linebacker Hal Mc Afee. Riddlehoover was named the Associated Press’ Defensive Play er of the Week for his perform ance against Tulsa Saturday. Riddlehoover, who has been Ark ansas’ most consistent defensive player throughout the season, was credited with six individual and five assisted tackles. Tulsa quar terback Joe McCulley, then the leading passer in the nation, was dumped six times. Of these, four belonged solely to Riddlehoover and he helped on the other two. Joining him on the line are Ivan Jordan and freshman Den nis Winston at the ends, Brison Manor on the other tackle and Mike Campbell at noseguard. The Razorback defensive line averages out to but 214 pounds to a man but is perhaps the quickest group in the conference. Rhodes starts at his right line backer slot while Billy Burns fills in for McAfee at the other. The Arkansas secondary has not been without injury problems as Floyd Hogan and Brad Thom as are both out with injuries. Tak ing their place at their safety and cornerback positions are freshmen Bo Busby and Elijah Davis, respectively. Rounding out the Porker defense are safety Donny Prince and cornerback Rollen Smith. FI Takes Championship Company FI beat Ml for the Corps Championship in intra mural flag football. Defense and penalties were the two decisive factors of the game. Every 50 yards gained was matched by a 15-yard penalty, which frustrated touchdown at tempts. Pat Jarret and Bob Evans from FI’s defensive line rushed effec tively against Ml’s attack. Barry Buske quarterbacked the 14 “pre professionals” but found little help from his offensive team mates. The defense held well against FI’s quarterback pair, Tom Leopold and George Fraels. Mark New and Pete Starks ran for for the decisive penetrations FI’s win. Handball finals were also held with C2 beating Sq8 for the Corps Championship. The double teams of Scot and Johnson, Ca vazos and Terrell, and Stilson and Brow placed their returned shots well, taking advantage of Sq8 mistakes.
