Page 12 f/*m notftfiepiia^erfea^l ABC turns SWC football schedule around THE BATTALft WEDNESDAY, JUNE 4, Ip. By DAVID WALKER As you probably know by now, the A&M-Arkansas football game has been moved from November 1 in Fayetteville to December 6 in Little Rock. What you probably didn’t know was that it wasn’t the first time that the game had been moved. It’s a long, drawn out story, so here we go. The way the Southwest Confer ence schedule works out, A&M and Texas both go to the Ozarks in the same year. The stadium in Little Rock holds more people, $30,000 more than the one in Fayetteville. The two schools alternate every other trip playing in the larger stadium. By contract this was A&M s year to play in Little Rock but Darrell Royal (Texas has a certain number of games in Little Rock and Fayetteville and that can’t be changed. So move the Texas game from Little Rock back to Fayetteville where it was sup posed to be in the first place. Now we re set. No, not quite. What about the tickets? It’s too late to have new tickets printed. The Aggie-Razorback tickets won’t fit in the Little Rock stadium and the TU-AU tickets won’t fit in the Fayetteville stadium. There is only one solution. Use the A&M-AU tickets for the AU-TU game and the AU-TU tickets for the A&M-AU game. Ouch! It has to be done that way but you can just imagine how insulted Aggies and Longhorns are going to be when they get their tickets. Don t call the ticket office and complain when you get your tickets, it wasn’t their fault. Call Darrell and Frank — they’re the ones that made the boo-boo. ★★★ There were two other changes in the Aggie schedule because of TV. The Illinois game was changed from a 4 pm kickoff to a 12:50 kickoff for regional TV. The other change was the Texas game. It was changed from 1:30 November 27 to that old familiar “date and time to be an nounced. The date will either be the 27th or 28th, but it all depends on you-know-who, TV. ★★★ The changing of the Aggie- Arkansas game may mean more than just a change of date and a funny ticket. It means that the Texas game isn’t the last game of the year. This changes the wqhole complection of the game. Now it doesn’t have that big “last game” importance. If everything goes on schedule (for the Aggies and ABC) the biggest game will be the follow ing week. The fact that the change leaves the Aggies with their “most important” game (Arkansas) last should change things psychological ly, and that’s a big boost. The change also creates a rarity in that the Aggie footballers and basketballers will be playing the same day. While the FB’ers are in Arkansas the BB’ers will be in friendly G. Rollie White playing Houston Baptist. ★★★ While on the subject of football and tickets it seems that the Aggies 8-3 season last year and prospects for an even better one this year have given ticket sales a shot in the “It’s really too early to tell but we’ve got more applications than ever before, A&M ticket manager Euleta Miller said Tuesday. A&M had to limit LSU tickets to season ticket buyers only for tie first time this year because the de mand was so great. So if you can’t get LSU tickets don’t worry be cause you aren’t the only one, 1975 TEXAS A&M UNIVERSITY FOOTBALL SCHEDULE Tied Sept. 13 Sept. 20 Sept. 27 October 4 ‘October 11 ‘October 18 ‘October 25 ‘November 8 ‘November 15 ‘November 27 Mississippi LSU Illinois (TV) Kansas State Texas Tech TCU Baylor SMU Rice College Station Baton Rouge, La.

So the schedule was finalized with the Aggies getting the short end of the stick. Along with the short end of the stick they also got a trip to Fayetteville. The Long horns were set for Little Rock all primed and ready for national TV. One of the first things that is done after the schedule is “set” is to have tickets printed. So now we have 53,555 tickets printed for War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock for Texas and Arkansas and 43,500 printed for Razorback Stadium in Fayetteville for A&M and Arkansas. Now, switch number one is final. It’s time for number two. While TU and AU are all set wait ing for the big call from ABC some thing happened in New York. In stead of calling Broyles and Royal they called Broyles and a fella named Bellard. The voice on the other end of the line said something to the effect of, “It sure would be nice if you guys were playing each other in Little Rock instead of Fayetteville. It would be just a really good game for national TV. We even think that it will be such an important game we want yon to move it to the final weekend of the season. ” Well you don’t say no to the TV people and change number two was made. Sorry Daddy D you can’t win ’em all. There is one little problem left. The Arkansas season ticket deal FRESH FAMILY PACK 3 , b GROUND BEEF SWIFT PROTEH HEAVY BEEF Boneless BOSTON ROLL ROAST /*.
