Call84 6lS|| WASHINGTON — With an
Hoverwhelming vote, the rank and
[file of the National Football League
Players Association has rejected a
management offer for a new con
tract and set the stage for a strike
iwith the opening of the season only
two weeks away.
Ed Garvey, association executive
Idirector, told newsmen Wednesday
[the voting members of the Associa
tion rejected the collective bargain-
ling agreement proposal by a tally of
743-6, with five teams still to be
I counted.
Garvey declined to speculate on
jthe possibility of a strike by the
union but said the membership
I would be asked to vote on the issue
[within a week.
“We will have to see what the
[players say about it,” he said. "The
[comments in so far as a strike have
[varied team from team. Some are
[militant while others are conserva-
jtive.
T “We hope that this vote will con
vince all 26 owners to get involved
fin the bargaining process . . . and
[give us an offer we can’t refuse,” he
[said.

The contract vote was taken dur
ing the past weekend in an effort to
break the deadlock between the
union and management in negotia
tions that have dragged on for IV2
years and led to a 42-day strike dur
ing last year’s exhibition season.
The players returned to camp and
played the 1974 season without a
collective bargaining agreement.
At a news conference Aug. 28, the
Association urged management to
submit an offer by Labor Day for the
players to vote on but the owners
refused, saying the union leader
ship had placed a “serious new
roadblock” in the way of a collective
bargaining agreement by its posi
tion that any restraint on player
movement is illegal.
The union then submitted to the
players for a vote the July 23 offer by
management, the last placed on the
table, which includes the Rozelle
compensation rule opposed by the
union and a major stumbling block
in efforts to reach agreement on a
negotiated contract.
In New York, Sargent Karch,
executive director of the Manage
ment Council, said a resumption of
bargaining this week was unlikely.
I’m not the
Quarterback
By DAVID WALKER
We re two days away from Hullabaloo Caneck Caneck
time and all systems are go for Emory IV.
Coach Emory begins his fourth year as Aggie boss Satur
day when he leads his charges to the field of athletic combat
against the University of Mississippi.
The game starts at 4 p.m. and to most Aggies this has been
the longest week since freshman orientation. Everyone is
ready and the rest of today and tomorrow are going to pass
ever so slow.
Then when midnight yell practice starts every thing is all
down hill from there. Come to think of it a lot of folks fall
down hills after midnight yell practice.
Since this is the opening game I thought I would go hack
and take a look at Aggie openers from the past.
This will be the eighty-first first Aggie game.
The Aggie opening game record for the past 80 seasons
stands at 58-19-3. They have won five in a row by a com
bined score of 186-34.
The Ags have especially been bullies to a couple of teams
on opening day. From 1970 to 1973 they have won four in a
row from Wichita State by a combined score of 166-34. Back
in the dark ages the Aggies opened eight seasons with
Trinity College (now University) and won ’em all. This time
by a combined score of 179-10.
The 1920 Aggies had the largest margin of victory in an
opening game. They eked out a 110-0 victory over Daniel
Baker. The largest losing margin came on two different
occasions. In 1949 Coach Harry Stiteler’s Aggies (You re
member old Harry now don’t you) dropped a 35-0 contest to
Villanova. The 66 Ags went all the way to Atlanta to get beat
by Georgia Tech 38-3.
Getting back to the present there is not one single
member of the 60 man Aggie squad that has ever lost on
opening day. That includes Coach Emory who is 3-0 on
opening day since driving over from Austin.
Athletic department officials are expecting the largest
opening day crowd ever. The game is close to a sell out with
only around 1,000 reserve tickets left.
Everything is set. The Ags seem to have everyone on
their side. They are being picked to win the Southwest
Conference by everyone except Gerald Ford and have al
ready moved up in the polls without even playing.
So we re all ready. Two-a-days are over. Midnight yell
practice isn’t far away and neither is the opening kickoff. I
agree with the so-called experts, this is the Aggies’ year. No
one can stop them hut themselves.
Next year (Believe it or not) is FINALLY here. Gig ’em
Ags.
Chile says
no to Davis
Associated Press
SANTIAGO, Chile — Last-
minute complications linked to re
ported death threats against the
Chilean Davis Cup tennis team
threatened Wednesday to for-
cechile to drop out of the competi
tion and lose its place as one of four
semi-finalists,
Hernan Basagoitia, president of
the Chilean Tennis Federation,
confirmed that Chile may not show
up as scheduled in Baastad, Swe
den, to meet Sweden Sept. 19-21.
The Chilean news agency Orbe
reported that all the Chilean players
had refused to go to Sweden, even
though the federation decided on
Monday night to send the team to
Baastad despite reports ofTfeath
threats and preparations for massive
demonstrations in opposition to
Chile’s ruling military junta.
Oilers vets cut
to trim rosters
Associated Press
Dan Conners, Oakland’s
longtime middle linebacker, and a
pair of Houston veterans, running
back Vic Washington and wide re
ceiver Jerry LeVias, joined the un
employment rolls Wednesday,
among the latest victims of the Na
tional Football League roster trim
mings.
Conners was a 12-year star for the
Baiders. The American Conference
team also cut defensive back Jimmy
Warren, an 11-year NFL veteran,
and wide receiver Frank Pitt, a 10-
year vet. The Baiders also traded
seventy-year running back Charlie
Smith to the Philadelphia Eagles for
a future draft choice.
Washington is a five-year NFL
veteran, LeVias a seven-year pro.
Also released by the Oilers were
guards Brian Goodman and Bubba
McCollum, tight end Bob Adams
and outside linebacker Marvin
Davis.
Running back Herb Mul-Key,
quarterback Steve Joachim, defen
sive ends Dennis Wirgowski and
Mike Siefert, defensive backs Boyce
McKinney and Floyd Hogan, offen
sive lineman Merle Wang and
place-kicker Chris Gartner were cut
by Baltimore. The Colts also asked
waivers on offensive tackle Dave
Simonson and wide receivers Ollie
Smith and Don Westbrook and
placed rookie running back Kim
Jones on the injured reserve list.

Texas Tech Coach Steve Sloan
said Wednesday in Lubbock that
Tommy Duniven will be the Red
Raiders starting quarterback Satur
day when Tech opens the 1975 sea
son here against Florida State.
But Sloan said that sophomore
Rodney Allison also will see action
against the Seminoles at the quar
terback slot.
“We know that Florida State lias
plenty of speed,” Sloan said.
“They’ve got a halfback named “-
Neon Leon Bright who was voted
the second best sophomore in the
nation in a poll of college coaches.
He is some kind of runner.”
More than 40,000 are expected to
watch the non-conference contest.
★★★
Running backs Gralyn Wyatt and
Jimmy Walker remained on the
questionable list because of linger
ing injuries Wednesday as the Texas
Longhorns prepared to open the
season Saturday against Colorado
State in Austin.
Coach Darrell Royal s problems
were compounded by the fact that
veteran Joe Aboussie will be out for
several weeks with a pulled hamstr
ing muscle.
“Obviously we are concerned.
Royal said. “This is an opening
game, and they have much more
experience than we. I think you
could see the other night in the
Alabama game what can happen if
somebody jumps out there and sur
prises you, and the same thing could
happen if we get confused.”
Alabama was upset 20-7 by Mis
souri.
