INTERVIEWING EE, ME, Physics—BS and MS Fall/Spring Grads Friday, November 1 Placement Center By TONY GALLUCCI Staff Sports Writer The Aggies and the Baylor Bears will clash before a record crowd in Waco Saturday and one will emerge with, its conference record blemished. The eighth ranked Ags go into Baylor Stadium the slight favorite to win this one over the upset prone Bears. Grant Teaff s forces have a lot to prove before an itchy homecoming crowd. The Bruins have won three in a row following early hard fought losses to number two ranked Ok lahoma and Missouri. The Bears have had an extra week off to pre pare for the Ags. The Aggies will counter with a two game winning streak following their only loss of the season to Kan sas. The Aggies, minus the layoff that Baylor had, are fresh from a record setting defensive trouncing of TCU. It will take that sort of trouncing to hold down the Bears. The Bears knocked off a favored Razorback squad in Ozark territory and have the home ground advan tage this week. The A&M offense which ranks second in total offense and third (twelfth nationally) in rushing will fight the Baylor defense which ranks fifth totally, seventh against the rush and fifth against the pass. Meanwhile, Baylor’s sixth ranked total and rushing offense and third ranked pass offense will line up op posite the conference leading rush ing and total defense. The Ags rank fourth in pass defense. Despite the overbearing statisti cal advantage for the Ags, one must remember that the Bears share the lead. Comparisons between the teams are numerous. The Aggies will rush at Baylor with the conference’s lead ing rusher in Bubba Bean (97.2). Baylor’s Steve Beaird is third in rushing at 93.2 but leads in tandem offense at 128 yards per game. Bean is second averaging 107.5 yards. In addition Skip Walker is sixth in rushing but is questionable for the game with a hurt ankle. Walker is also third in tandem offense and third in scoring where Beaird leads at 10.8 points per game. Neal Jeffrey of Baylor is third in the conference in passing hitting at 53 percent. But the Ags’ David Walker left no doubt that he could pass, hitting seven of nine against TCU for a conference leading 220 yards. Defensively Baylor boasts linebacking stars Don Bockhorn and Derrel Luce. The Ags counter with an outstanding linebacker duo of Ed Simonini and Garth Ten Napel and excellent pass defender Warren Trahan. The Aggie defense now leads the nation with their performance against TCU allowing but ten yards total offense. nent at bay with either long or strategically placed kicks. Indications that the game will be tight are evident from all angles. Tailback Beaird says, Texas A&M is a pretty physical team, just about as big as Oklahoma.” Baylor head coach Teaff says, “The manner in which Texas A&M defeated TCU Saturday was awe some. The Aggies have a very explo sive offense and an excellent young quarterback. We are really going to have to play our best of the season to stay with them.” Aggie head coach Emory Bellard is likewise complimentary. “They’re gonna be tough, ” said Bel lard. “They’re a good football team with lots of quickness in their de fense. Their quarterback has a wealth of experience under his belt and they have real aggressive run ners. They run with a great deal of authority. Alcy Jackson is a real dangerous split receiver and Beaird is doing a good job of catching for them also.” Bellard especially notes Beaird. hold off “There is no question thisj biggest game weve pla ye j Sports shorts AUSTIN, Tex.
