The Aggies aren’t expected to win this week, but they are expected to remain undefeated. How, you ask, can a team ac complish such a feat? Simple — don’t play. The originally scheduled game between the Aggies and Arkansas was moved early last summer to Dec. 6 so the ABC folks could beam the action to the nation. If you’re one of those types who just has to have a SWC football game you have three choices. You can go to Waco and see Baylor and TCU. If it’s raining in Waco you can just drive on up the freeway to Dal las and see Texas and SMU. If neither of those sound good to you LEATHER WORKSHOP ART & CRAFT CENTER, MSC MON.

Wreffierschnrtzgl Texas at 30th Street HOURS: Sun.-Thurs.: 10 a.m. to 1 a.m. Fri. & Sat.: 10 a.m. to 3 a.m. just trot on out to Lubbock and catch Rice and Texas Tech. In Waco it will be homecoming and over 40,000 fans are expected in Baylor stadium to see which team can snap its losing string. The Frogs have lost 17 straight games dating back to the first game of last season when they opened with a victory over the University of Texas at Arlington. The defending SWC champs will be trying for their first victory since the first game of this season when they beat Ole Miss 20-10. Both schools are out of the run ning for this year’s conference crown since they’ve lost two games. The Bears have lost to Arkansas and A&M while TCU has lost to the same schools plus SMU. Baylor coach Grant Teaff isn’t tak ing the Frogs lightly. “This is the best TCU team we’ve played since I’ve been at Baylor. You cannot go by their past record at all. They have been improving each week and can do many things to hurt you. This is going to be another one of those ‘Knock ’Em Down John’ ball- games.” The Bears will be without linebacker and co-captain Tim Black who injured an ankle against A&M last week. Defensive tackle Tim Bucy is listed a doubtful because of a jammed neck he received in the A&M game. Also on the doubtful list are defensive end Ricky Rand and noseguard John Oliver who were both injured in the A&M game. TCU main threat is split end Mike Renfro who is the leading pass catcher in the SWC. TCU is known as a passing team and will throw between 25-40 passes a game. Baylor is a 17 point pick. In Lubbock it will also be homecoming for the Red Raiders of Texas Tech when they host the Rice Owls. Tech will be trying to knock the Owls out of the conference race. The Raiders have lost two confer ence games already to Texas and A&M while the Owls have lost only one, a 41-9 setback to Texas in Au stin. Both schools have won one league game. Each time SMU was the victim. Over 40,000 are expected to see the tilt with Raider coach Steve Sloan seeing the Rice kicking game as possibly the only difference. “Rice’s offense and defense are similar to ours in many respects, no question Al Conover is a great team motivator. They are well coached and have a very good kicking game, ’’ Sloan said. In the other league tilt the Texas Longhorns will make their second trip to the Cotton Bowl to take on the SMU Mustangs. Texas has lost only one game this season and it was in the Cotton Bowl to Oklahoma. The Ponies are 1-2 in conference play having lost to Rice and Texas Tech and having beaten TCU. The Horns are unbeaten in three trys against Rice, Arkansas and Tech. It shouldn't be as close this time as it was last time for the Horns who were beaten by a touchdown in their first Cotton Bowl trip. SWC member-elect Houston will Pokes, Skins meet in crucial pro game Associated Press NEW YORK — When the Na tional Football League completes the first half of this season, there are going to be real mob scenes in a few of the divisions. It’ll be as if the sea son had never started at all, with clubs bunched eyeball-to-eyeball. Take the National Conference East, for example. We expect Washington to bump off Dallas and St. Louis to scratch its way past New England, thus leaving the Redskins, Cowboys and Cardinals locked in a three-way tie for first. Or how about the American Con ference’s Central Division? It’s al ready showdown time for Pittsburgh and Cincinnati. The Steelers haven’t won in the Bengals’ backyard since 1971. That’s about to change — and the two teams are about to start the second half of the season deadlocked once again. Houston could make it a three- way tie by beating Kansas City — but we’re picking the Chiefs to sting the Oilers in our Upset Special of the Week. There was nothing to be upset about last week. We went 12-1 to put the season record at 56-22 for a .718 percentage. Redskins 24, Cowboys 20 When the Cowboys go into their revived shotgun offense it’s usually because they face a third-and-long situation. Washington will force Embrey’s Jewelry We Specialize In Aggie Rings.

Billy Kilmer will hand off to Mike Thomas or pass short to him for just enough yards to pull out the victory. Steelers 27, Bengals 21 The Bengals base most of their offense on Ken Anderson’s aerial ability — but the Steelers have the best pass defense in the league. Pittsburgh-Cincinnati games gen erally wind up looking like holy wars. This one will be no different. Cardinals 23, Patriots 14 New England’s Steve Grogan was riding high after taking over for Jim Plunkett and throwing two touchdown passes. This kid has a future—but for the present, the Cards will bring him back to earth. Jim Hart, Mel Gray and Terry Met calf will do terrible things to the Patriots’ secondary. Chiefs 21, Oilers 17 The odds-makers have installed Houston as a field-goal favorite. We don’t buy that, mainly because so much of the Oilers’ good fortune has been built around Billy Johnson’s runbacks. When they have to start with the ball deep in their own ter ritory, they don’t move that well. We think Kansas City’s going to keep them back there. Raiders 28, Broncos 16 Oakland is starting to get un tracked. Denver is too busy trying to get unhurt. The banged-up Bron cos have to go almost exclusively through the air to move the ball. The Raiders know better than any one else in the league how to keep the ball from moving-through the air or on the ground. Giants 16, Chargers 6 The Chargers are averaging about six points a game. That’s about all we ll give ’em this time around. The Giants’ defense is getting tougher as the season progresses. Dolphins 31, Bears 10 Miami knows how to stop a draw play as well as anyone. That’s all Chicago’s got going for it.

Next week will be another full week of conference action with Texas Tech at TCU, Baylor at Texas, Arkansas at Rice and SMU will come to College Station to take on the Aggies. Club sports The water ski club will compete in their second tournament this weekend. The team placed second in Baton Rouge at the L.S.U. tournament Sept. 27-28. A&M is sponsoring the tourney to be held at Walden at Lake Conroe. Competition will begin at 8 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday. There will be three events, featuring the slalom, trick skiing and jumping. Other schools entered include the University of Houston, L.S.U., Stephen F. Austin, and Southwest Texas, and others. ★★★ The Southwest Lacrosse Association met last week-end for one of its three annual meetings in the Rudder Tower. The group agreed on the formation of a coaches poll to rank the teams within the two respective divisions. A&M placed first in their division, edging the University of Texas by two votes. The club will play in an exhibition next Tuesday at 10:30 against the University of St. Thomas. On Feb. 2 they will scrimmage against the Houston Lacrosse Club at Houston Baptist University.' ★★★ The formation of a women’s soccer club is in the initial planning stages. The club will be open to all women students, grad students, and faculty and staff of A&M. Teams have already been formed at SMU, Rice, and Texas. Those interested about women’s soccer should contact Becky Kelly at 693-0514. Intramurals FLAG FOOTBALL RESULTS Women: P. E. Majors, 6 vs Hughes, 0; BSU, 12 vs Fowler, 0.
