This showed defensively but we played the same way offensively.” In speaking of the final second controversial pass play in the end- zone that many Aggie supporters saw as pass interference, Bellard said “It was an incompleted pass. That’s the way it’ll go down in the record books and that’s how we have to think about it.” Bellard said Bucky Sams and Alvin Bowers will continue to al ternate at fullback although Sams played the entire second quarter against Arkansas and was the team’s leading rusher. “Both are good football players and both will continue to play,” he said. “Bowers has had a sore leg which he re-injured against Arkansas but he looked better in practice Monday than he has in the last two weeks.” Bellard spent much of the press conference discussing the 30 schol arship rule on this year’s recruit ing (see Kevin’s Korner, p. 12). Bellard said he expects another tough game this weekend when SMU comes to Aggieland. “SMU has got two tremendous halfbacks,” he said. “There’s no other way to describe them. They’ve got a pair of good full backs and Keith Bobo (SMU’s in jured quarterback) may be ready to play against us. If Bobo doesn’t make it, Ricky Wesson is more than capable of breaking a game wide open and will probably play even if Bobo starts. “Their defense is big and strong with excellent speed. It will take one whale of a perform ance to move the football on them.” The Aggies should be in good physical shape against the Mus tangs as they have avoided se rious injury for the entire year. Linebacker Garth Ten Napel is suffering from a leg injury but should be ready to play Saturday. Defensive tackle Warren Trahan is stronger after missing most of the Arkansas game. Cornerback Tim Gray was unable to work out Monday due to an ankle injury but is expected to start against SMU. Defensive end Blake Schwartz is working out but is still a little rusty from his four- week layoff due to a knee sprain. A&M Defensive Stats Player Tackle Assist Total 2, Hayes (2), Trahan, Long, Gray, Schwartz, Hulin, McCrumbly, Lamp. RECOVERED FUMBLES: Thomas (3), Scott (2), Gray (2), Ten Napel (2), Ellis, Lamp, Dean, Daniels, Hayes, Hulin, Long BLOCKED PUNT: Gray BLOCKED PAT: Thomas SMU DALLAS— Southern Methodist football coach Dave Smith said Tuesday his Mustangs will have to stop Texas A&M’s outside speed Saturday or his team could absorb its third straight loss. “A&M is a lot like we are,” Smith said. “They’ve got good outside speed and some talented young people. They are well coached and have been playing good football.” Smith said quarterback Keith Bobo, who suffered a shoulder separation against Rice, probab ly won’t see action against the Aggies. Conference game at Fort Worth and Carlen said of the TCU back- field “They work good as a group. “Offensively TCU is much bet ter than last year. Their offensive line is the same size as last year — big — and their line is where they overwhelmed us last year. “Their kicking game is the best in the conference and they are a very veteran defensive team. Their tackles, Tommy Van Wart and Charlie Davis, are as good a pair as there are in the league. They have good linebackers in Mike Hanna and Dede Terveen.” Carlen said “They (TCU) al ways get up for us. In two years, they’ve scored 48 points and we’ve scored twice. That shows what they have done to us.” TCU Texas AUSTIN—Three Texas Long horns left the practice field with slight injuries Tuesday but were expected to be ready for Satur day’s Southwest Conference foot ball game against Baylor in Aus tin. Reserve quarterback Mike Pres ley, a slightly pulled hamstring, defensive tackle John Boecker, a sprained ankle, and defensive end Damian Alvarez, a shoulder in jury, were sent to the locker- room. Texas Coach Darrell Royal said he respected Baylor quarterback Neal Jeffrey and the Bear pass ing attack. “Jeffrey is an excellent passer,” Royal said. “His timing is so good. Pass defense is like the shutter of a camera. It opens up and closes suddenly. Jeffrey and his receivers anticipate so well when the defense opens up. He throws to a spot and the receiv ers catch the ball well. They have excellent pass protection.” FORT WORTH — In the two seasons Billy Tohill has been the head coach at Texas Christian, the Horned Frogs haven’t lost to Tex as Tech. Coach Bill Tohill said Tuesday that should be an incentive to the Red Raiders for this weekend’s Southwest Conference game in Fort Worth. “After last year they’ll be after us,” said Tohill. “This will be like a bowl game to them. Our little chillun’ had better button up their bonnets because Coach Jim Car len and his boys are going to come in here with a mad on.” Arkansas Baylor Simonini 67 66 133 Stratton 44 47 91 Lamp 52 26 78 Ten Napel 32 44 76 Trahan 37 18 55 McCrumbly 26 23 49 Long 28 18 46 Hulin 25 16 41 Thomas 24 17 41 Daniels 28 10 38 Dean 32 5 37 Gray 22 8 30 Ellis 18 10 28 J.

The Bruins will be facing the conference favorite Longhorns with a winless Southwest Confer ence football slate. Bear mentor Grant Teaff prais ed the effort put out by his squad during the 90-minute workout, but said he was disappointed with Baylor’s 0-3 SWC record. Baylor lost to TCU last Satur day before a homecoming crowd of 30,000 at Waco. However, Teaff pointed to bright spots in the game as quar terback Neal Jeffrey threw for three touchdowns and more than 300 yards. Split end Charlie Dancer of Mexia caught seven Jeffrey passes for 173 yards in the game and set a school record. FAYETTEVILLE — Running back Dickey Morton and wide receiver Jack Et.inger missed Tuesday’s Arkansas Razorback practice session with knee in juries. Morton is expected to be ready for Saturday’s game with Rice, but Ettinger is a doubtful starter. Three other Razorbacks also missed Tuesday’s cold, two-hour contact session. Morton has a minor knee bruise carried over from Satur day’s Texas A&M game. Ettin ger has an infection which has caused his knee to swell to most twice normal size. The knee was injured during Monday’s prac tice session. Tight end Doug Yoder, defen sive tackle John Rhiddlehoover and linebacker Billy Burns, all were confined to their rooms with mild cases of the flu. All three should be ready Saturday. Coach Frank Broyles said that Tuesday probably was one of the coldest days of practice for his team this year. Temperatures were in the 30s. “We had to stay moving to stay warm out there,’ Broyles said. “I think it was the coolest day we’ve had so far. It was not as good a practice as I had hoped for.” Houston Texas Tech CAUSED FUMBLES: Stratton, LUBBOCK—Texas Tech Coach Jim Carlen Tuesday praised the Texas Christian backfield which includes quarterback Kent Mar shall, fullback Tim Pulliam, and tailback Mike Luttrell. The Red Raiders meet the Horn ed Frogs Saturday in a Southwest HOUSTON — Coach Bill Yeo man said Tuesday his 15th rank ed Houston Cougars got their winning legs back last week but they may need even better foot ing this week against the Colora do State Rams. “The weather could be an un settling factor for us,” Yeoman said of his Cougars, who are 7-1 and going into the game with strong bowl hopes. “It could be a slippery track. They snow was cookin' and caterin' country etyle BAR-BO I I I I I I I I I I I. And all the fixirfs. Tuesday nights after 5:00 the featured dish is chicken ’n dumplin’s. You get a pot of juicy chicken, plenty of plump, fluffy dumplirfs aud generous slabs of homemade cornbread f6r soppirf. Barbecue nearly made the Conlee boys famous in these parts. And they’re caterin’ now, too. 3C BAB-B-QUI Open 11 to 9:30 every day except Monday across the tracks/nearly downtown Bryan I I I i i i i i i piled up there last week.” Colorado is vastly improved from last season, Yeoman said, pointing to the Rams’ 5-4 record. They were 1-10 last season and beaten 48-13 by the Cougars in the Astrodome. But Saturday’s game will be played in frigid Colorado, a dras tic change from the muggy and warm Gulf Coast temperatures. “It may cause some of our swamp rats trouble,” Yeoman joked. “We just hope we can get our minds enough on our busi ness.” 5AST sen Pau acini A THIE TO SWC Stats DALLAS — Texas fullback Roosevelt Leaks opened up a 198- yard lead on Arkansas’ Dickey Morton in the Southwest Confer ence football rushing race last week with a record-smashing 342- yard effort. Leaks is averaging 163.7 yards per game and has 1,146 yards for th eseason. The burly junior full back from Brenham is averaging 6.5 yards per carry. Morton, a senior from Dallas, has averaged 118.5 yards per game—or 6.3 steps per snap. Morton has career SWC yardage of 2,967 steps. He should become the second player in SWC history to pass 3,000 yards when he goes against Rice in Houston Satur day. Morton is just 264 yards away from equaling the career record of Texas’ Chris Gilbert. Texas grabbed the total offense and rushing offense from South ern Methodist last week with 609 yards against the Mustangs. A&M is the leading SWC club on defense, allowing just 257.8 yards per contest. If you want the real thing, not frozen or canned ...
