Last week really left me wondering how this wild SWC race will end. Preseason sports forecasters picked the upcoming Arkansas- Texas game to have the same stature as the Big Shootout of 1969. But the biggest shootout of the 1974 season in the SWC may take place at Waco surprised by Baylor Saturday. It’ll be hard for the Horns to build up the extra adrenalin two weeks in a row. Rice lost to Notre Dame 10-3 on the scoreboard, but they won a mountain of respect otherwise. The Owls played 57 minutes of tie foot ball with the Irish, and Cornelius Walker left South Bend a sure can didate for All-American. At least in Ara Parsegian’s mind. SMU is right at the top of the SWC heap with A&M, and Baylor with a 1-0 record. It’s only fair since ( Batt sports ) on Oct. 26, since Baylor came from behind to beat the Hogs 21-17 in Fayetteville, this past weekend. Nobody asked the Texas Aggies about their intentions to win the SWC crown, so they tried to show the whole nation with a very solid performance against the Red Raid ers. A&M looked very strong against Tech, but don’t count the Raiders out, they’ll be in the thick of things for the rest of the season. The perennial SWC powers, Ar kansas and Texas will be fighting for survival rather than determining who’ll be king of the hill in the Southwest. A second conference loss at this point would almost mean certain elimination from conten tion. Texas proved that they aren’t ready for the junk pile by playing an exceptional game against the awe some Sooners last week losing 16-13. Arkansas will come out sw inging from the ground after being Sport in formative stages Orienteering, a new sport, is in the formative stage. “It’s glorified map reading against time,” commented Army Maj. Joe Carothers of the Military Science Department. Carothers is taking calls and inquiries about the sport at the Trigon or 845-1622. Orienteering was imported from Europe and gained adherents from Boy and Girl Scouts, college stu dents, ecology buffs, forest rangers and ROTC cadets. It is an intercol legiate athletic event in the north and northeast. Maj. Carothers would like to form a team to compete soon at Northeast Louisiana State. The sport involves being able to locate checkpoints in wilderness terrain using only a to pographic map and compass.

Who’ll be the eventual champion of the SWC? Well, you got eight guesses, and your guess is as good as mine. If Texas A&M can stay clear of injuries, and keep their teenage, lefty quarterback in gear to execute the T-Bone with few turnovers, it’ll be happy days on the Brazos. Texas, Arkansas and Texas Tech all have fine football teams and could very well finish this season without another loss. Baylor figures to be somewhere in the line of con sideration for championship teams, with the strong running of Steve Beard and a stubborn defense led by Derrel Luce. Don’t forget about SMU who’ve had their problems with probations, diseases and heavens knows what else. They probably figure it’s time for some body else to have some problems. Rice has been known to win some big games in strange ways and TCU will be hiding in the bushes waiting to ambush some team en route to the SWC championship. So hold on to your seat, because the 1974 ride through the Southwest Conference will be a rough one. Fem Ag softballers take third The women’s softball team placed third this weekend in the Lamar In vitational Tournament. First place went to the University of Texas at Arlington. Texas Women’s University captured sec ond place. In the first game A&M took Stephen F. Austin by a score of 8-5. Robin Oakley pitched the game. TWU won the second game 6-5 putting A&M in the loser’s bracket. A&M led TWU 5-0 into the bottom of the sixth before TWU picked up three runs. A&M then went to bat in the top of the seventh, but TWU held the Ags to their five-run score. In the last play of the game, TWU brought in three runners taking the game. In play against Sam Houston, freshman pitcher, Kim Bellamy put A&M into the semi-finals, beating Sam Houston State 4-3 and Univer sity of Houston, 8-7. These were Bellamy’s first college career wins. In the game which put A&M in third place, TWU again came from behind in the last inning, winning 8-6. The softballers travel to Nacog doches this weekend to compete for the state championship.
