Tonight I will be boarding a plane for Lubbock. Two
things just occurred to me. The last time I boarded a
plane, I did so in College Station, at Easterwobd Airport
and headed for the windy city of Lubbock. It was an
exciting trip, for I was headed for the NCAA basketball
playoffs. Just the thought of playoffs is exciting and I
would hope that it is an omen. Although the cagers played
a tough game they lost and I hope that is not an omen. If
omens travel in pairs, or if it is just that time of year, I just
hope they haven’t migrated yet.
After Coach Bellard has spent a frustrating week de
fending an offense that didn’t need defending, he should
button his collar against the wind and settle down to
opening the conference.
The word still circulating in Manhattan is that the Ag
gies don’t measure up to Big Eight standards. Well, it has
gotten to be a battle of words and I want to add my
12-cents worth.
I think the Wildcats should do one of two things. Either
transfer to the Ivy League since they can’t measure up to
the Big Eight either or try the WFL since the Tech scout
apparently thought we compared with the Pittsburgh
Steelers.
When the KSU squad wins the Big Eight then I’ll
listen, and probably so will a lot of other people. Now I
don’t mean to say the Big Eight is weak, because I can’t
remember a time when six teams from one conference
made the poll. But count ’em, 75 per cent of the midwest-
ern conference squads measured up to the standard. KSU
wasn ’t one. That leaves a lot of room for mouthing off but
then again it’s easy to tell winners from losers.
The Ags will come against a solid-moving offense this
weekend. The defense is up to the job without a doubt. If
the offense moves like last week it’ll be little trouble to
pack up number five. But should overconfidence come
into play, there could be trouble.
I still maintain my early season confidence, no reason to
lay down and die yet. I see shades of last year without the
nervous TV cameras. A&M 28, Tech 7.
Meanwhile, in Dallas, takes place one of the most
important games this season as far as the Aggies go that
doesn’t figure into conference standings. Texas and Ok
lahoma battle it out for something called the Cowboy
Cup. Sounds like a rodeo supporter, and the winner of
this one will probably need one. The loser will inherit the
factory.
Always a tough one to pick, the outcome will probably
determine whether or not the Sooners regain No. 1,
whether the 'Horns will have a chance for it, and whether
or not the Ags will move up if they win. One or the other
will undoubtedly drop past the Ags except in the case of a
tie. Then who knows?
The Longhorns have forgotten what competition is.
The Sooners know only too well what competition is and
will try to eliminate any more. I think the Sooners will
succeed. Oklahoma 21, Texas 6.

“QUALITY FIRST”
Ags vs. Tech
League play begins
By DAVID WALKER
Battalion Sports Writer
Throw out the records and forget
the statistics. The new season starts
tomorrow night for the Texas Aggies
as they open Southwest Conference
and what has happened up to this
point is merely for the polls.
The sixth-ranked Aggies invade
Lubbock to play the always tough
Texas Tech Red Raiders. The last
time the Maroon men left the South
Plains with a victory was in 1967
when they went on to win the
Southwest Conference champion
ship.
Tech has won the last three meet-
' ings in Lubbock and five of the last
six. The only othe Jones Stadium

victory in the last 15 years came in
1961. The total series record stands
at 18 Aggie wins, 14 Tech wins and
seven ties.
The Aggies won last year s game
28-7 before 50,620 fans and a na
tional TV audience.
This year s game will also be a
sell-out plus but there will be no
TV.
The Techsans will be playing
their third straight game against na
tionally ranked teams. After open
ing with wins over Florida State and
New Mexico and they have lost
their last two contests to ranked
Texas and Oklahoma State.
The two losses came on the road
with the two wins coming in Jones
Stadium.
Aggie coach Emory Bellard is
worried about the upcoming contest
with the Raiders. “They played a
real solid game against Oklahoma
State (Tech lost 17-16), but it looked
like they busted some plays on de
fense against Texas, the Aggie boss
said.
The Aggies enter the game with
the nation’s number-one defense.
They have limited their opponents
to 137.2 yards per game. They also
are the nation’s number one team
against the rush where they have
given up only 246 yards on the
ground for a 61.5 average.
The Ags are third in the nation in
scoring defense giving up only 21
points in four games. And just so the
defense won’t hog all the national
limelight, the offense is number
eight in rushing with an average of
319.5 yards a game and also lead the
nation in kickoff returns with a 35
yard average.
And if that doesn’t give Tech
enough to worry about, Tech assis
tant coach Tommy Limbaugh
cheered up the Raiders by saying,
“A&M is better than their statistics
indicate, the Pittsburgh Steelers
would have a hard time moving the
ball against them.”
The Aggies will be in relatively
good physical shape for the game
with only reserve fullback Bucky
Sams and halfback David Craig out
of action.
Tech will be without the services
of cornerback Selso Ramirez, who
suffered a cracked cheekbone
against New Mexico will not be back
but cornerback Mike Barnes who
has been out for the first four games
with a knee injury will be back.
Tech has yet to play a game with all
four of their starting secondary
people healthy.
Kickoff time is 7:30 p.m. and the
game can be heard locally on KTAM
with Jack Dale and John Smith
mikeside for the Exxon radio net
work.
