or their interest in| longhorn work out and said, “Good luck tomorrow
you’re gonna need it.”
It wasn’t the first challenge Leaks had en-
untered in that year-long week which followed
fexas’ crushing defeat by Oklahoma, but it may
ell have been one of the last. Rosey didn’t an-
er the guy ... he just looked at him with that
|onny Liston stare and came out swinging on Sat-
day.
In perhaps his best game as a Longhorn, the
t away with any: S-'l, 220-pound punior fullback from Brenham
shed for 209 yards, scored three touchdowns and
id his two longest runs at Texas—59 and 43 yards
for scores.
“He did everything you could ask a fullback
I) do,” marveled Fred Akers, UT’s offensive coordi-
[ator in charge of the backfield. “He had a bunch
n great blocks. In fact, on one play he knocked
down three men.

by Oklahoma.
“There were a lot of us who weren’t playing
as we should,” said Leaks, who joined captains
Glen Gaspard and Bill Wyman in leading a self
confession session Monday night prior to the game.
“We were ashamed to admit it, but I felt like my
first four games were poor ones.”
Leaks averaged over 100 yards per game in
those first for games, but the Longhorns man
aged only a 2-^ record. And that’s not success to
Rosey.
“My primary consideration is the contribution
I can make to the team—how I can best help us
win football games. All the other things—All-This
and All-That—are nice, but secondary. If I were
to make All-American that would be cool. If not,
my world won’t come to an end.”
Leaks, who served as a Sunday school teacher
in Brenham, enjoys working with young people and
hopes some day to coach on a high school level.
To the youngsters, the fellow who grew up
with two sisters on a farm near Chappel Hill offers
this advice about playing football:
“Play because you want to play . . . not be
cause the kids in the neighborhood think it’s the
thing to do or because somebody pushes you into it.
Play only if you want to.”
For the moment, Rosey wants to.

SWC Season Rushing Leader Rosey Leaks
If you think Rice’s band was obnoxious, well, they are courteous
bmpared to the Rice Thresher, the Rice newspaper.
| In a pre-game story under the by-line of T. G. Kahuna, the
lllowing paragraph appeared:
Undoubtedly the fans will be up. There is
nothing quite so disgusting as an Aggie. Put a bunch
of them together and you get not only the Aggie
Fascist Band, but the most obnoxious, ludicrous
group of followers the world has ever known. They
all come down together from the armpit of America,
College Station. The Crack Thresher Sports Staff
hates the Aggies so much that we’d pick a Rice win
even if A&M were number 1 in the nation. (Heaven
forbid!) Remember, Dick Gottlieb is an Aggie. Any
school that has the Yogi Bear theme song as a fight
song deserves derision. When you hear those clowns
screaming at the top of their Texas World Speedway
lungs, “What comes out of a Chinaman’s ass; Rice,
Rice, Rice,” you’ll know what we mean. Well
Agro-Americans, we may excrete it, but you’ll eat it,
23-21.
The only thing that can be said for the article is T. G. Kahuna was
lose with his prediction of the score,
lory Bellard aii There is no excuse to degrade another school in print the way the
sday on KyleFieii ^sher has here. A few weeks ago a writer for the Daily Texan, UT’s
a victory over tin ic hool paper critized the Thresher for not being serious in the handling
)fthe Edwin Collins incident. Now I can see its point.
Editorial freedom is indeed great, but no excuse for irresponsi
bility.
During this past weekend 1 have lost a lot of respect for Rice
University. I really thought the halftime was funny until “The Mob”
read on “The War Hymn.” This piece is disgusting.
In other parts of the article, A&M’s football team is referred to as
‘those vile derelicts from College Station.”
If this is the way the Aggies are going to be treated by Rice, it’s

paper and band, perhaps we should refuse to play Rice again. Why
should our fans, players and coaches be subjected to trash like this.
I hope everyone will write the Rice University administration and
ask why material like this is being printed against fellow Southwest
Conference schools. I hope they have the answer. And remember, Rice
won the SWC Sportsmanship award in 1971.
Last year, Aggie fans were abused at the Rice-A&M basketball
game in Houston and coach A1 Conover had to eject a football player
from the crowd.
My association with the Sports Information Department at Rice
has been excellent and I really doubt that this disease, as it seems to
have infested Rice, has taken over the Owl Athletic Department.
The Thresher staff obviously is very unprofessional for letting
such a travesty to appear in print. I don’t know who is to blame in the
final analysis. With A&M catching undeserved hell from both the band
and the school paper it would seem that the Rice administration better
take a close look at the activities of those persons that represent Rice
University.
