Page 10 THE BATTALION FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 15. 1974 Injuries still problem Give something special... Bulova Aggies hope to get revenge By PAUL MCGRATH Staff Sports Writer How many Aggies can forget last year’s Rice game? The Owls scored two touchdowns and a field goal while gaining less than 50 yards total offense, to jump off to 17-0 lead over A&M. The Aggies struggled hack the last 30 minutes and with time fading in the fourth quarter they pulled ahead. Then came the play that shocked the Aggie partisans. Carl Swierc took a kickoff and somehow escaped a flock of tacklers to go 95 yards for what proved to be the game winning Choose the gift that tells how much you care . . . day after day after day.

The gun went off with A&M deep inside Rice territory. The frustration of that game was almost matched by last week’s out come against SMU. Ironically, the Aggies played the same type of first half, came back and lost in the clos ing minutes. The situation is a little different for both teams now than it was last year. The Aggies and the Owls were shooting for also ran positions be hind Texas in 1973. Now, A&M is bidding to capture its first confer ence championship in seven years while Rice is fighting to keep out of the SWC cellar. Rice is a better squad than their 1-6-1 record shows. They defeated Texas Tech, tied LSU and lost nar rowly to Notre Dame. Their offense has sputtered (as of late, so has the Aggie attack), but the Rice defense has been performing creditably in each game. A&M head coach Emory Bellard feels the Owl de fense is one of the better elevens in the conference. of their early powerful rushing at tack with performances by Jerry Honore and Jim Hartman. Honore has gained 196 yards the past two games and has scored the last four A&M touchdowns. However, the Owls will be with out the main brick in their front wall. Middle guard Cornelius Walker (Skip Walker’s brother) will not be in the lineup due to injuries incurred in the Arkansas game. Rodney Norton heads up a fine linebacking trio and is one cog of a pass defense that has allowed less than 70 yards per game. Bubba Bean has been the Ags’ most consistent runner this season but has been the victim of defenses keying on his number 44. David Walker will direct the Maroon and White offense after a sub par per formance against the Mustangs. Ronnie Hubby still has a bruised thigh and Skip Walker will possibly miss another game due to his in jured ankle. Having Radiator Troubles?

The gifted aerilist has caught the same injury bug that has bitten A&M backs. Gary Ferguson heads up the Owls somewhat feeble rushing attack. The Aggies will have no problem in morale by facing the almost win less Owls. For one, A&M hopes to make up for last week’s poor show ing. Number two, it is a crucial con test to keep Cotton Bowl hopes af lame. And number three, the memories of last year’s embarrass ment are still fresh in the minds of the players. This game is the final home game for 16 A&M seniors. Honore and center Ricky Seeker will be saying their farewells this Saturday along with Randy Haddox. Don Long, Warren Trahan, John McCrumbly, Tim Gray and James Daniels will no longer defend the Kyle turf. Four backup defenders, Ted Lamp, Paul Hulin, Ken Stratton and Al Thurmond will also be get ting their last licks in against Rice before the homefolk. Bill Cazalas, Mike Keese, Rusty Cook and Doug Jordan also join the other seniors by playing in their last home game. So now at last the Aggies have their chance for a rematch with the Owls, who have won the last two outings against A&M. It has been a year long wait for the Ags to regain some pride for the team,, the A&M band, A&M traditions and even Re veille. It has been an even longer wait for a trip back to the Cotton Bowl. The Aggies have a lot on the line while Houston’s other school has nothing to lose. Funny thing is, neither did SMU. HOUSE OF TIRES CORNER OF COULTER & TEX. AYE. FOUR LOCATIONS TO SERVE YOU!

The amazing speed of Dan Gerth, combined with his ability to be where the ball was, made him the top scorer of the game. Individually he racked up 30 points. game which the Fish couldn’t stop. The Fish pressed harder than Oaks, but somehow the team — thinking that took them so far, just wasn’t there. Timing and simple connections were missing. Perhaps the most unrealistic play of the game was a fifty yard pass from Ted Geistweidt to Gerth who had his back turned to the passer and was running for his life. Geist-. weidt merely dropped the pass into Gerth’s arms, with Gerth never breaking stride. Oaks controlled the ball the en tire game using an effective passing Oaks in the meantime, put all the pegs in the right holes. Their line, although not especially strong on the protective blocking, could move it out harder and faster than most teams realized. That’s what hap pened to Puryear in the Civilian play-offs. Puryear had been pretty inconsis tent all year. They’d be up and down on offense. Tuesday night, Puryear couldn’t get their feet moving or their passes caught. Oaks effectively broke up passes and that, aside from getting their licks in running, really helped them against their top-rated opponents in quarter finals. The Saints. The Saints took All-University last year. The Oaks got past the Saints, 6-0. The Saints had been “the” defensive team all year, wearing opponents down and then going in for the kill offensively. Their offensive failed to move against the Oaks. Looking at the fish’s strength, Chris Shuchart, who was an all-state end last year, stretched legs and arms to catch passes from his quar terback, and took off like a flash. He was the drive of the 15 fish. He had good back-up from the line, who effectively held off the onslaught of attachers. They had been a strong offensive team all year, taking the fish divi sion with a score of 40-0 in play against FI. In play against their older “Corps Buddies” from Sq7, the Fish took the Corps champion ship 10-8, making use of two safeties gifted them. When Sq7 played Sqll for the upperclassman championship the teams were so evenly matched, stalemate was the result of first half play. Second half showed that Sq7 could execute as well as threaten. Seagram’s took that match, 20-8. In the other classes of play. Slip Slides took the Coed crown out of Brady Bunches’ hands. The score was 14-6. Yet another side of the IM scene was women. Here PE Majors and Kruegar played the final game. It was mostly frustration. The Kruegar women were ex ecuting plays more smoothly than the Majors. The Majors couldn’t get the hall going forward; their laterals went lateral. Both lines held well. Finally an interception was made by Kruegar. Kruegar won by one penetration, the only score of the game.

Moses, scored on its first two serves, in the second game. Walton, however, answered with six quick points and appeared to be on its way to another easy win. However, Moses came back to tie the game at 9-9. Behind the strong serves of Mike Watson and Bill Bridges Moses went on to win. The third game was characterized by more good spiking by Kotara and Clark. Also, Moses played much better as a team, contesting almost every point with a long volley. However Walton overpowered them with powerful serves and good team play to win the match. Billiards, archery, racketball, water polo, and the 2.1 mile cross-country run are happen ing. Billards is an open event with the contes tants arranging play on their own. The quarter final through championship games will be co vered in the Highlights. Archery will be shot November 15 at 4 p. m. near the Intramural Office. There are various categories of competition in this play. Racketball started this week on the tail of handball doubles competition. The game of hit ting the black ball with a sawed-off tennis racket, sends contestants running around the enclosed rooms playing balls off the walls and ceiling. These games are being played in the De Ware Field House. Water polo, the vicious war under the surface, is open teams. Women and men, both, compete together or separately in what some call massacre in the water. Entries close Nov. 13. The cross-country run will be 2.1 miles in length and this year compares more to a steeple race with all the work being done on the polo field. Starting in the Zachry parking lot, the individuals run the perimeter of the field except to circle around a tree. Finally, basketball deadline is Dec. 10 and represents the only sport to run over the first semester into the spring one. This year is the first time table tennis has been offered. There are 79 teams with 474 con testants. Table tennis, which used to be called ping-pong before the Chinese visited the U. S. in 1972, has come into its own as the Americans have become more sports conscience. The largest number of contestants come from the military sector with the rest of the campus following in fewer number. The games will be played in the MSC basement area with contestants paying 40 cents per game. Mike Effenberger after kicking the football from the 45 yard line accurately, took the university crown for field goal kicking. His nearest competitor, Fred Wilganoski from Davis-Gary, mis sed the crown by miskicking from the forty yard line. Jesse Vestal, who kicked a fifty yard goal in the preliminaries, finished third, taking two misses at the 40. ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ SQ15 FISH, ALL-UNIVERSITY 2ND CORPS CHAMPIONS I t SAN western executiv which s ★ ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★*** [ compare j attorney The n of Dali; Bell vie he took poison ii San Malone : family, ] of the (acted James I dismiss friend content Gra\ hy his death, fired i Now, j have fil against B AU!
