(AP) — Texas A&M Coach Emory Bel- lard Tuesday tried to put to rest any Southwest Conference title talk concerning his eighth-ranked Ag- gies. “We’ve only played three games,” Bellard said. “We have a good opportunity, but we’ve got four tough games to go, starting with Arkansas Saturday. “Arkansas definitely will be ready to play,” Bellard said. “They are a good outfit with good ability, and I’m sure they will play extremely well. Their defense has played ex tremely well except in those cases where they have had four or five players hurt. They are big and quick with a lot of speed in the secondary. It will be a tough old battle to get the ball in the end zone. FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) — Coach Frank Broyles said Arkansas Razorback freshman Jerry Eckwood missed practice Tuesday and may be out the remainder of the season because of a weightlifting accident. Broyles said the highly-touted Brinkley running back definitely would miss Saturday’s Texas A&M game. Broyles did not say when the ac cident occurred. Broyles said most of Tuesday’s workout was spent working on the rushing offense and defense against the rush. “Texas A&M has a phenominal running game and their defense held Baylor to only two first downs rushing last week,” Broyles said. The coach said the Razorbacks had a good practice Tuesday and that he was pleased with the indi vidual performances of John Rhid- dlehooyer, Hal McAfee and Johnnie Meadors. iltfjlettc Oatmeal By TONY GALLUCCI The Aggies now have sole possession of the conference lead. The last time the Ags were undefeated through three conference games was in 1966 when the Ags heat Tech 35-14, TCU 35-7 and Baylor 17-13 before succumbing to Arkansas 34-0. In their SWC championship year of 1967 the Ags lost their first game of the season to SMU and lost three more before winning six in a row and then beating Alabama in the Cotton Bowl. The 20-0 win over Baylor last week was the Ags third shutout this year the other being a 24-0 win over Clemson and a 17-0 decision over TCU. The Ags just barely lost another when Tommy Duniven scored for Tech in the fourth quarter. The three blanks by A&M equal the SWC total for last year and this year’s total of five shutouts equals the total for the last two seasons. Eighteen games still remain this year. But the record book is still far away. The last team to have three shutouts in a season was Tech in 1971. Arkansas blanked 12 teams in 24 games between 1964 and 1966. But the goose egg prize goes to the Aggies of 1918-20 who checked in this 18 straight zeroes. The games included 60-0 win over Camp Travis, a 77-0 win over Sam Houston and a 110-0 win over Daniel Baker. The scoring totals for the 18 game streak was 561-0. That included an undefeated and unscored upon 1919 season. In 1920 the Ags were unscored upon until the last game when Texas won 7-3. The Ags also played LSU to a 0-0 tie. The Ags were also unbeaten and unscored upon in 1917. Through four seasons and 33 games during the 1917 through 1920 span the Ags won 30, lost two and tied one and had 29 shutouts. There are a lot of omens to consider when watching the weekend games. Five teams are still in the running for the conference race this year, the Ags of course. Tech, Baylor, SMU and Texas each with one loss each. Six times before SMU and Texas have entered their game with one loss apiece and Texas leads those games 3-2-1. This will be the eighth time Tech has played Rice with only one loss and has yet to fall to the Owls in such a matchup. The Bears have met TCU 19 times with only one loss and have lost 12 of those meetings, won six and tied once. The Bears lost nine straight of those meetings eliminating them from the race all nine years until finally winning one from the Frogs in 1972. Two years ago the Bears won over TCU 42-9 hut lost last year 34-28. In 1971 Texas beat SMU 22-18 on two disputed goalline calls and won 17-9 when the Mustangs fumbled. They trailed 14-0 at half last year before rallying to a 42-14 decision. The Ags lead the conference in total defense and rushing defense averaging 210.4 and 126.3 yards per game, respec tively. The Ags still own the low yield in each category with their performance against TCU. The Ags pass defense ranks third behind Rice and Tech. The Farmers are third in total and rushing offense with 366.9 and 288.6 yards per game, respec tively. They are behind Texas and SMU in both categories. And as might be expected the Ags are way behind, fifth, in pass offense despite David Walker’s masterful performance against TCU. Bubba Bean leads the conference in rushing with 94.3 yards per game. Mark Stanley still leads the conference in punting with 37 punts averaging 43.2 yards per game. Carl Roaches had an infinite rushing average after the Baylor game. He rushed 56 yards on zero carries. How? He scooped up Bean’s fumble after a ten yard run and raced for a TD. Someone had to get credit for the carry so it was Bean who was intended to go the yardage.

(AP) — Texas Coach Darrell Royal says he is let ting quarterback Marty Akins call his own. plays. “It’s nothing but left and right anyway,” Royal said in response to a question at the Longhorn Club. “We ran the same play 43 times against Rice. I hope we run it 43 times Saturday against SMU.” He said running the game this way when it is working may be dull football to some people but it’s not dull to him. WACO, Tex. (AP) — Tailback Steve Beaird returned to practice Wednesday after sitting out the first two days of workouts with strained knee and ankle hurt in the game with Texas A&M last week. The 5-7, 196-pounder who leads the Bears in scoring, rushing and pass receiving was limited because of soreness, but was able to run. Coach Grant Teaff said that his status for this week’s TCU game in Fort Worth is still doubtful. FORT WORTH, Tex. (AP) — Texas Christian head coach Jim Shofner announced Wednesday that Dennis McGehee, a junior from Pearsall, will start Saturday at offensive halfback against Baylor. TCU trainers also said halfback Kent Waldrep, who suffered a broken neck in last Saturday’s game against Alabama, is reported in “more improved” condition in a Birmingham, Ala. hospital.
