Sophomore biology major Nancy Gardner read the story in the bar bel shop. I was proud to see some thing in there about us. It rep resented our traditions really well and I thought it was favorable to wards A&M.” Fat Focht, a sophomore economics major, said “I was sur prised it was in there. No one pays attention to Aggies until they assert themselves. They have to show they are better all around.” I was so tickled for us to be men tioned in Sports Illustrated,” said freshman journalism student Pat Haines, “It flattered us. I believe it was a good deal be cause we received national recogni tion, said Doug Reinhart, a fresh man in political science. “It s about time, we’ve been down so long.” A comparison was made by a few students between the current story and a previous article done by Mademoiselle magazine. According to first year chemistry major Peggy Hughes the Mademoiselle story was “an infuriating article. It acted like we were country bumpkins. It was just one cut after the other.” Agreeing with Hughes was Cindy Walters a junior horticulture stu dent. She said, T had a bad experi ence with the Mademoiselle story. It didn’t get the feeling of the school at all.” In contrast she believes the Sports Illustrated article “would give other people the right idea” about A&M. As for particular details included in the three page feature some stu dents such as Van Gardner, a junior horticulture major, complimented the pictures. Others, like agricul tural engineering student Dan Mil ler, enjoyed the Aggie jokes. Jimmy Clack, a freshman in civil engineer ing, liked the paragraph about how the names suited some of the Aggie players. There were a few unfavorable comments however, especially from the women’s side. Walters disag reed with how the story “depicted women as Maggies” because of the “bad connotation” involved with the title Maggies. Walters also disagreed with how the article “gave the wrong impres sion of the student body” by the pictures. One of the pictures showed a Corps sophomore, his date and Reveille, the Aggie mas cot. Walters argued that this may have given the idea that the student body was all Corps. Despite these few criticisms, the general opinion of the article was a favorable one. The timing of the story proves what having a success ful football team can do for a school’s publicity. One Aggie summed it up by say ing, “You never heard anything about us, until we started winning.” Jinx or not, Sports Illustrated ap parently won’t lose any readers at Texas A&M. Tech has to move ball against Baylor THE BATTALION Page 11 THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1974 LUBBOCK, Tex. (AP) — Texas Tech coach Jim Carlen said Monday that his Red Raiders are going to have to do something to Baylor this Saturday that no one else has been able to do this year—and that’s move the football. "Nobody has really moved the football on Baylor,” Carlen told a noon press conference. “Baylor’s defense plays real well together and with a lot of enthusiasm. I credit much of Baylor’s defense success to Corky Nelson, Baylor’s new defen sive coordinator. I wish he had stayed in Tyler.” Carlen went on to say he wasn’t surprised at Baylor’s win over Texas. “They were playing in Waco, and when you have a quarterback like Neal Jeffrey, you have a lot of OPEN MON THRU SAT 9:30-9:30 WED., THUftS., FRI., SAT.

He can throw over or under coverage and off-balance.” Carlen indicated that Seminole sophomore Don Roberts would start at quarterback and George West junior Cliff Hoskins at fullback against the Bears after their perfor mances in a 28-0 win over TCU last Saturday in Lubbock. “Roberts generated our offense against TCU when he came in for Tommy Duniven,” Carlen said. “We ll play the hot hand and right now Don has it. Hoskins earned his starting spot against Baylor with his play against TCU (102 yards on 13 carries).” The game will be a crucial South west Conference tilt as Baylor is 3-1 in SWC play and Tech is 3-2. Tech already has accepted a bid to the Peach Bowl, but that would change if it gets a Cotton Bowl bid.
