Press Conference
Tech impresses Be I lard
By DAVID WALKER
Battalion Sports Writer
“This is the first team that we’ve
played that just throws back their
ears and mover north with the
ball.”
That’s the way Emory Bellard
summed up this week’s Aggie foe,
Texas Tech.
The Red Raiders will enter the
game with the undefeated Aggies
with a 2-2 record. They won their
first two home games over Florida
State and New Mexico before losing
on the road to Texas and Oklahoma
State. The Aggies will be trying for
the school’s 400th career victory.
Bellard expressed concern over
the two Texas Tech quarterbacks.
Tommy Duniven and Rodney Alli
son. “Both quarterbacks are real
good. Duniven is the better passer
of the two and Allison is probably
the better runner,” Bellard said.
“This isn’t to say that either of them
isn’t able to do both though,” he
added.
The quarterbacks aren’t all that
the Red Raiders have on the offen
sive side that worries Bellard.
“They’ve got four good, strong run
ners too in Larry Isaac, Cliff Hos
kins, Rufus Meyers and Billy
Taylor.”
Taylor is the big surprise for the
Raiders this year. The 6-0, 211
pounder from San Antonio Jay has
averaged 9.2 yards every time he’s
touched the ball this year. Tech of
fensive backfield coach Art Zeleznik
says that he feels Taylor is on his way
to being a great running back. “He’s
executing properly and hitting the
holes quick, we are definitely going
to try to get him the ball more,”
Zeleznik said.
And on the defensive side of the
line the Red Raiders can be sum
med up in two words, Ecomet Bur
ley. He was All-Southwest Confer
ence and second team All-American
last year. He moved to middle
guard in the spring and Bellard feels
that position change has in no way
hurt the play of Burley.
After talking about the Red Raid
ers for awhile Bellard answered
charges that the Kansas State
players and sports writers weren’t
giving the Aggies any credit for last
week’s victory.
“You know that the team’s getting
stronger when the other team’s start
talking about moral victories,” Bel
lard said.
“In my opinion there was no
question who was the best team on
the field last week and any way you
look at it ten is more than zero and
it’s going to stay that way.”
One Kansas State player told re
porters after the game that “They
(A&M) aren’t in the class of the Big
Eight,” to which Bellard added.
“Well, all I know is that Texas A&M
whipped Kansas State 10-0 and they
can say anything they want to. ”
The Aggie boss announced one
position change for Saturday. Frank
Myers will be starting at right offen
sive guard for last week s starter
Billy Lemons.
“Frank missed half of his
freshman year with a knee injury
and it had to be operated on. He was
able to go through spring training,
but he was never full speed but he
has made excellent progress since
this fall and deserves a shot at start
ing,” Bellard said.
On the injury front the Aggies are
relatively injury free. Only reserve
fullback Bucky Sams is expected to
miss the Tech game. He has a groin
injury. Ronnie Hubby will start at
fullback and will be backed up by
freshmen George Woodard and
Eddie Hardin.
Bryan maintains hold on
Associated Press
The Bryan Vikings shook off the
frustration of having to forfeit three
games with an impressive 28-12 vic
tory over Killeen last week and eas
ily retained their No. 1 rank in Class
4A of The Associated Press school
boy football poll.
The Vikings, now officially 1-3
under University Interscholastic

Cameron in 2A, Seagraves in A and
Big Sandy in B, in holding onto their
top billings.
Killeen, ranked third and un
