H. Bowen, who got his B.S. and M.S. at the University of Arkansas, came to A&M after get ting his Ph.D. at Rutgers. During Bowen s early years at A&M, 1967 to be exact, “on one of those rare occasions when the Ags beat Arkan sas, I bought a decal with a picture of that burly sergeant roasting a pig and sent it to the Horticulture Dept, at Arkansas,” said Bowen. “The next year Arkansas re taliated and they sent the cotton pickin’ decal back and it stayed here I don’t know how many years,” he said. The Ags beat the Razorbacks 33-21 in 1967, their conference championship year and were subse quently defeated by the Hogs the next four years. The Ags upset Arkansas in 1971 and again in 1972. “It was the year before last when the Ags beat Ar kansas that we took up a little collec tion here in the office, ” said Bowen. “There wasn’t much opportunity to boast then so we didn’t pass this one up. ” The money was used to purch ase a bouquet of white lilies with a (intramurals) Bowling Results League K: Dl, 401; Al, 362 M: Sq5, 405; Sq2, 293 T: Law I, 437; Crocker, 246 Hart III, 489; DG II, 263 U; Crocker P, 471; Walton II, 391 Hart II, 390; Moses III, 294 Mexico II, 491; DG III, 463 X: Vet I, 306; Ruan, 270 large black ribbon. Attached to the bouquet is a small handwritten card which reads: Deepest Condolences and Sympathy from Horticultural Dept, of A&M The next year Arkansas returned the favor both on the field and through the mail. The lilies re turned with Same to you U. of A. Hort. Staff written on the back of the card. The lilies sit on a filing cabinet next to Bowen’s desk. “We’re ready to box it up,” said Bowen. “We thought of boxing it up and sending them before the game, but we kinda chickened out,” said Bowen. “But if everything goes as anticipated it’ll be on its way soon. ” Meanwhile the flowers await Saturday afternoon quietly in the Plant Sciences Build ing. Smokin’ Joe next in line to try for Ali’s world title (AP) — Bull-like Joe Frazier, the former titleholder who split two gruelling decisions with Muham mad Ali, loomed Thursday as the next opponent for the new world heavyweight champion : . . should Ali elect to continue his boxing career. Frazier became the logical con tender after Ali virtually dismissed a return fight against George Fore man, whom he knocked out in eight rounds Wednesday. “Joe is better than Foreman,” Ali said in the aftermath of his unex pected destruction of Foreman. “Joe lost to George, but that was Joe’s fault. I’ve fought Joe twice and it was hell. If I fight him again, it will be hell again.” “If’ Ali fights again, however, remained questionable. The unpredictable champion. who hinted at retirement prior to his battle against Foreman in Kinshasa, Zaire, reiterated at the possibility again after the fight. “I don’t want to fight nobody,” he intoned. “I seriously want to retire but not right now. I want to see my name there for a while. “I got a big decision to make. I might stop where I’m at and forget the money. I will have to talk to Elijah Muhammad leader of the Black Muslim sect first. I’ve got things to do in America. If I fight, it won’t be for me. ” If Ali fights again, it might be for $10 million—twice as much as he received for destroying Foreman. He said he had received such an offer ifhe beat Foreman. “He wasn’t American but he spoke English,” the champion said of the man who made the offer. Di di di doh says we can smell cotton At the south end of Kyle Field is an art design of shrubbery that reads “1876 Texas Aggies 1974.” At each end of this design are three dots and a dash which stand for V. In 1968, Robert Rucker, profes sor of ornamental horticulture, in stalled the V in morse code when he was head of the grounds mainte nance department. “V for victory,” Rucker said. And after six years the dot dot dot dash can again mean something to the Aggies. NFL. teams fail to ink WFL guys NEW YORK (AP)—The National Football League announced that none of its 26 teams would be able to sign players from the rival World Football League after Thursday. The NFL owners, concluding a two-day meeting, also voted to play the 1976 Pro Bowl Game in the New Orleans Superdome, but did not decide on awarding the Seattle franchise, which is scheduled to begin operations in 1976. In preventing teams from signing WFL players, the owners broadened a rule that had been in existence for minor league and Canadian Football League players. “This is not an action against players in the World Football League just because they are in the WFL,” explained Jim Kensil, the NFL’s executive director. “It was done just because they are football players. ” NOW APPEARING AT THE AGGIELAND INN Glenda Roberts from Baytown APPEARING IN HARRY-JS TUESDAY THRU THURSDAY ALUMNI CLUB FRIDAY NIGHT THE BEST IN TOP 40 FOLK AND COUNTRY 15% OFF On Purchase of $50.00 or Over 10% OFF On Purchase of $50.00 or Less FOR YOU AGS WITH YOUR STUDENT I.D.

Fish FI and D2 Tangle for first Running Chuck Greco led FI fish [to a hard fought 12-8 victory over |D2 fish in a game of undefeated | teams. The first part of the game was a I good defensive struggle with Joe [Jennings making the big plays for |D2. But FI showed a fired up defense fed by John Shoemaker and held D2 |'Jeep in their own territory. From Fere they were forced to punt. [Greco, FI quarterback or receiver, |t°ok the ball and cut for the pipelines. Once to the sidelines, he i° u t ran the opposition for the first score. The run for two points failed and the score was 6-0. D2 was held on their next set ol downs with the big play being made by John Pegues. Forced to punt they punted to the dangerous Greco again. He set FI up in business again with a 40-yard punt return. However FI was stopped when Kenneth Jordan intercepted. But on D2’s first play Doug Horseman intercepted. D2 put on a good defensive series, with Robert Jennings mak ing the big play on third and long to down the quarterback at the two. D2 got the ball with time running out in the first half and went up top with the bomb. Mike Anthony hit Joe Jennings with a 55-yard bomb on the last play of the half to tie the score at 6-6. The run by Brad Cooper gave D2 an 8-6 lead. In the opening series of downs in the second half D2 failed to move the ball and punted to FI. FI scored what proved to be the winning touchdown on this series. They were helped by a pass inter ference call but were also penalized 15 yards. The key plays were a first down pass from Kenneth Jordan to Greco. The score was a 25-yard pass from Jordan to Greco with 12 mi nutes left. The clock ran out with no further consistant ball-moving by either side.

IEEE-2 takes BSU for short fast ride By RICHARD BENNETT Winning the tirst two games, the IEEE-2 team beat the BSU team in a volleyball match Tuesday night. IEEE-2 won the first game 15-13 and the second 15-3. In the first game, BSU scored first and appeared to be on their way to an easy victory. However, IEEE-2 came back to tie the game, despite the hustling play of David Ragsdale, and went on to win. Most of the volleys were brief; both teams being guilty of slopply play. Several times points were lost due to players hitting the ball illeg ally. Double hitting was common. In the second game, IEEE-2 began to set up the ball and play as a team. The game began with a brief exchange of serves, then Jay McEl- roy, serving for IEEE-2, scored seven straight points with in a high arching manner. After another exchange of serves, IEEE-2 won the final game of the match with three consecutive points. The game was highlighted by fierce net play from both teams. Leading IEEE-2 with good play were Jorge Elio and Jay McElroy. Despite their losing effort Kenny Green, Grover Gen and David | Ragsdale played well for BSU.
