Play before national audience Ags try to break Tech jinx By MARK WEAVER Staff Sports Writer The Aggies are agoing to try to break some Texas Tech winning streaks Saturday and begin one for themselves. The Red Raiders currently hold a six-game winning streak over the Aggies. The last time the Ags beat Tech was in 1967, the year they won the Southwest Conference and the Cotton Bowl. Tech also has a 13-game string without a loss, including this year’s victory over the U niversity of Texas. The last game they lost was against UT last year in Austin. The Red Raiders have done well this season, their only blemish being a 21-21 tie with New Mexico University. They have beaten Iowa State, 24-3, Texas, 26-3 and Ok lahoma State, 14-13. The game has been a sellout for nearly two weeks. This will be the first sellout, other than Texas, since 1956 against Texas Christian Uni versity. Kyle Field seats 48,000 comfortably. The Aggies, after losing to un ranked Kansas 28-10 last week, will attempt to get back on the winning track as they begin conference play. This is the best start the Aggies have had since 1957 when they were ranked No. 1 in the nation before being upset by Rice 7-6. A&M hasn’t exactly played the easiest teams in the country this year. Kansas is expected to be one of the top teams in the Big Eight. Washington has a strong passing team and gave Texas trouble with 328 yards in the air. LSU was ranked in the top ten, but their loss to the Aggies must have been a real blow since they haven’t won a game besides their opener against Colorado. And Clemson received votes this week to be in the top 20 teams of the nation. The Ags enter the Tech game with defensive end Paul Hulin the only doubtful player. He sprained his knee against LSU, but is begin ning to move around much better on the field. Aggie coach Emory Bellard is 0-2 against the Red Raiders and Tech coach Jim Carlen is 4-0 against the Ags. This will be the 33rd meeting of the teams. A&M has won 17 and Tech has won 14. There has been one tie in the series. The Red Raiders will operate their offense from the T with what they call the “Tech Option.” This is similar to the veer-type offense the Ags have faced in their first four games. Tech’s offense will be led by sophomore quarterback Tommy Duniven. He was one of the main question marks as to the success of this year’s Tech team. He has done a good job replacing last year’s quar terback Joe Barnes. Duniven is a top notch passer and has been tearing some opposing secondaries apart. Against Texas, Duniven was seven for seven for 145 yards. This included one pass for 77 yards and a touchdown and a key 46 yard pass that led to a touchdown. Duniven’s main receiver on the long patterns will be flanker Lawr ence Williams, who did most of the receiving damage against Texas. Williams led the nation in kickoff returns in 1972. He caught 19 pas ses for 233 yards last year for four touchdowns. He has been picked as a pre-season All-Conference player. The Aggies will have to maintain Duniven and his corps of receivers if they plan to compete this weekend. Last week against Kansas the Ags had problems in their secondary and the Jayhawks took advantage of these problems. The Aggies, if they continue their fumbling ways, can not afford the big pass plays that the Red Raiders are capable of making. The man that has been getting the big running yardage for Tech is tail back Larry Isaac. He has averaged 88.3 yards per game and 4.4 yards per carry. He has scored six touch downs in four games, ranking him 13th nationally in scoring. The Red Raiders also have a de fense to complement its offense. Tech s opposing teams have been averaging only 10 points a game while the Ags opposing teams have been averaging 1414 a game. Tackle Ecomet Burley, All- Southwest Conference in 1973, leads the Tech defense with his size and speed. Coach Bellard said that Burley was one of the quickest linemen in the nation. Defensive end Tommy Cones was second team All-SWC last year and has been a big man stopping the wishbone op tion. Texas Tech is probably one of the most balanced teams A&M has played so far. Their offense can run as well as they pass, which is similar to the Kansas team. Their defense can cause other teams to have mis takes and the Aggies have been making quite a few lately. Tech has won three games in Lubbock and the home crowd was probably a big plus in their favor, especially in their one point victory over Oklahoma State. Their tie came in New Mexico where the crowd was anti-Tech. A&M has had just one home game, but is still 3-1. The Aggies will have the home crowd on its side and Tech has yet to win on the road this year. And this may be their toughest road game all year. > Discus "CA'MPJS SAT NITE —12 pm AGGIE SPECIAL FROLIC “Green Door” dam pus Na Spirit line formation planned for Saturday Preparations are being made to form the spirit line for Saturday’s football game with Texas Tech.
