Tense,
By DAVID WALKER
Battalion Sports Writer
■ The Texas Aggies hit the road for
die second time this season Saturday
when they will be in Manhattan Kan
sas to play the Kansas State Wildcats.
But for the first time they will be
Haying under the 48 player limit that
was handed down earlier in the year
by the NCAA.
|| Coach Emory Bellard met the
press Tuesday and explained the
break down of the 48 players that will
make the trip.
■ On offense the Aggies will take
two split ends, two tight ends, three
guards, three tackles, two centers,
three quarterbacks and seven run
ning backs plus two. The plus two
Hill be two extra players, not particu
larly picked by position, but players
at any position where the coaches
feel they may need some extra help.
On the defensive side the Aggies
will carry, three ends, three tackles,
six linebackers and seven secondary
plus two. Add to the list three
specialists and it all adds up to 48.
“The only problem that can turn
up from this is if you have multiple
injuries at one position,” Bellard
said.
“Not that the situation this week
will call for it, but another thing that
will hurt is that we can’t get some of
our younger players into the game
and some of our starters out, ” he ad
ded.
Reminded that for the second year
in a row the Aggies would be going to
the state of Kansas with a 3-0 record
and a top ten ranking Bellard said
that the players all remembered
what happened last year.
“They (the players) are very much
aware that we are going to Kansas
again and they are also aware that
Kansas State is undefeated and have
a fine football team,” Bellard said.
The head Aggie warned that the
Wildcat defense was very good with
eight starters back from last year.
“They are a fine experienced football
team,” he said. “On offense they run
from the slot I and have a fine run
ning tailback in L. T. Edwards.
“Joe Hatcher is also a fine quarter
back,” Bellard noted. Hatcher was
voted Most Valuable Player of the
Wildcat freshman team last year.
After discussing the Kansas State
team Bellard spent a little time talk
ing about his own.
“I think our offense is playing real
well,” Bellard said. “They’ve shown
a lot of consistency during the last
two games, and the blocking is im
proving steadily. David Shipman is
doing an excellent job at quarter
back,” he said.
Bellard praised the work of the de
fense as usual but singled out tackles
Jimmy Dean and Edgar Fields.
“They are among the best in the
country,” he said. “They are as good
as any two anywhere. ”
The Aggies will leave for Kansas
State Friday at 11 a.m. from Easter-
wood Airport.

While the sixth-ranked Aggie
tball team was putting the finish
ing touches on the fighting Illini on
Saturday the National Champion
Aguie ruggers were about to take the
field against the Old Maroons on the
Drill field. The varsity squad was to
prevail 13-12 in a hard fought battle
of the best of Aggie rugby, past and
present.
‘The game was planned to make
the happy fans happier after the vic
tory over Illinois, and I think the
large crowd who saw the game en
joyed it very much,” said faculty rep
resentative Gerard O’Donovan.
ft The Old Maroons were founded
this year to bring together past Aggie
players for an annual game with the
Aggie varsity. “Such matches are
often ferocious grudge games but
this game was played with gusto,
said O’Donovan. “It was by far the
best the Aggie varsity have played
this fall and it was a matter of fitness
over finesse in the end,” he said.
| All but George Alden made it for
the game. Alden, now in the Air
Force academy, arrived but was ap
parently too late for the game.
I O’Donovan noted, “He was mis
sed badly in the scrum as the Aggie
^crum-half, Hillard ‘Curley’ Sim
mons did a super job winning 13 of 19
scrums. That is a rare feat against
Aaron Gaboon and his Old Maroons.
; “On line-outs, too, the smaller
Varsity held their own but were un-.
’ 0 , able to pick up the ball cleanly the
' s ’ ’ first time. It cost them dearly,” said
0 Donovan.

Simmons picked up a loose ball at
about the 40 and sent the ball
downfield. Mark Wagner finally
crossed at the flag but the ensuing
conversion was missed to make the
halftime score 9-7.
Bruce Mills converted again for
the Old Maroons, 13 minutes after
the start of the half, on a penalty kick
to up the Maroons lead to 12-7. Near
the end of the game John Gunn had a
chance to sew it up for the Ags but he
watched in dismay as his kick was
wide to the left.
O’Donovan remarked, “John
never had his eye on the ball and it is
hard to hit ’em if you do not watch
’em. Togetherness is needed; less
talk and more play will make the Old
Maroons a powerful force. ”
The Maroons watched another
chance fade away when a beautiful
passing play from Gaboon to Randy
Harju to Chaney was called back
60-yards for obstruction.
The varsity also had their chances.
Two penalty attempts were made
and two scrums were split at the
Old-Maroon 5-yard line, but no
score.
In injury-time, club prexy Good
rich broke out of the pack and kicked
ahead. The Old Maroons won the
ensuing lineout, and again the scrum
broke through. Rayton passed to
Fitch who sent Robert Moorman
over for a copy book try. Fitch coolly
added the two extra points, never
looking up but allowing the cheers of
the crowd to let him know the Ag
varsity had prevailed 13-12.
