Texas A&M enters the eighth
week of the football season as the
only undefeated team in the South
west Conference. 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

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.

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

Dallas into plenty of them. 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.

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.
