Another new rule effecting the game this year is an NCAA ban on sending coaches to scout their oppo nents. The rule, initiated in January to cut expenses, doesn’t hinder the Aggies because they have been rely ing on films for scouting purposes for several years. The Aggies will view the film of Virginia Tech’s first game prior to Saturday’s contest. In conference play the Aggies exchange four films, three of the opponent’s choice and the most current film, with SWC member teams. This week Aggie starters have spent between three and five hours studying Virginia Tech’s 23-6 victory over Wake Forest via borrowed films. —Kathy Young irM Consol faces lidway on Friday ;ther t» n miles, 'unnets her nia ES M A&M Consolidated Tigers re- d to the basic fundamentals of all in preparation for their Friday night against Midway School. last week’s 18-7 loss to La Head Coach Bob Caskey said am needed extra work on their blocking and tackling skills.

This col umn will include an area dove hunt ing report in a week or two to give hunters a look at the situation in the Brazos Valley. One reminder now, though. Don’t forget to renew your hunting license before going shotgunning this year. The $5.25 is well worth it when you consider the potential fines involved. You might also re fresh your memory after the summer layoff by looking over the Texas hunting regulations. Changes do occur in our laws from year to year.

Sept. 11 and 12. Club sponsor Tommy Nuche said the tournament will take place on Lake Livingston and will be head quartered at Cove Marina. Entries are still open and the contest may be entered by showing up at the head quarters Saturday morning before the 6:30 a.m. starting time. Entry fee for the event is $4 and club dues of $10 must be paid when the tournament is entered. Although the tournament runs two days, Nuche says contestants will fish only one day, either Satur day or Sunay. Trophies will be awarded as prizes, along with a jackpot to the contestant hauling in the biggest bass. Aggie Bass Club memberships are available to any A&M student, fa culty or staff member. Area Fishing Report—The black bass are pretty much sticking to their pattern for this time of year in area lakes. Heavy schooling activity is re ported in all lakes, and topwater baits are taking these fish. School bass are generally running small, though. Cool weather in some areas has moved the fish into shallower water, but worm fishermen are still having moderate success in deeper water. Where bass have moved shallow, crank baits and swimming baits have been the most successful lures. Here’s how some of the individual lake reports run for this week: Toledo Bend—Top-water lures working well on schooling bass, but more fish are geing caught at night on plastic worms. Some fish are con gregating around moss beads in as little as 3 to 4 feet of water, but most are still sticking in 8 to 12 foot depths. Livingston—Chrome crank baits worked around front of the Jungle are producing most of the fish. Bass are occasionally seeking deeper water around the river channel, and worms are picking up fish here. More fish are being caught during -mid-day than in early morning hours. The white bass are schooling around the back side of the Jungle, but whites are running small. Sam Rayburn—Extensive school ing activity. Fish are being caught in 10-12 feet of water. Best lures are worms. Hot Spots in the clear and chrome colors and topwater baits when the bass are schooling. Somerville—Black bass are mov ing to shallow water, crank baits around the moss beds are reported to be the best bet. The white bass are still schooling in the Welch Park area. Bank fishermen are making good catches on the catfish. It seems that the lunker catches are somewhat slow right now, with most of the fish I’ve seen lately being of the smaller size. Fishermen who have good deep water structure lo cated can still bring in some good fish, though. As the weather gets cooler, the bigger fish ought to move in to the shallow sturcture and cover, but until then a good bet might be to try night fishing when things cool off a bit. PATKIN CLOWNS AWAY PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Baseball clown Max Patkin says there’s a renewed interest in minor league ball, especially when he puts on his pantomime act. He recently played before 4,200 fans in Norfolk, Va., dur ing an International League game. Patkin is already lining up off-season dates and may make two Long Island appearances next January prior to the an nual New York Baseball Writers show Jan. 30. you get, and how the team plays. You need luck and consistency.” The 30-year-old right-hander, the American League’s Cy Young Award winner in two of the past three years, said both he and the Orioles had been a might inconsistent when his record was just 6-7 through mid- June. “Since then,” he said, “I’ve pitched as well as I could have, ex cept I’ve lost about a foot off my fast ball since pulling a back muscle on July 31.” Palmer, who has lost 12 this year, gave up a first inning run when John Lowenstein tripled and scored on a sacrifice fly by Larvell Blanks. Just two Cleveland runners reached sec ond base after that and one, Lowens tein, was picked off by Palmer.

A&M hosts THE BATTALION Page 9 THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1970 water polo begins; team tournament By CAROLYN BLOSSER Battalion Staff Water polo, one of the fastest growing sports today, has begun another season at Texas A&M. This weekend, September 10 and 11, A&M will be hosting its Water Polo Novice Tournament. Competi tion in this rather unusual 12 team tournament will include only those players who are college freshmen or younger. High school teams, college teams, and water polo clubs from the surrounding area will be competing. The Aggies begin their play at 4 p.m. Friday against North Shore High School, before taking on the Lafayette Raquet Club at 6 p.m. All games will be played either in Cain pool or in P.L. Downs Natatorium. The competition will wind up Saturday with games beginning at 8 a.m. and lasting through most of the afternoon. Leading the Aggie attack will be high school All-Americans Vincente Tavarez (McAllen), Dutchy Kuete- man (La Marque) and 8 Steve Spicer (Fullerton, Calif.). Spicer’s high school coach once commented that, “once Steve sets a hole, you don’t move him out.” Spicer, incidentally, stands 6’3” and weighs 195 pounds. Other freshman standouts for A&M are David Comstock (College Station), Mark Lenox (Dallas), Thad Putnam (Clear Lake) and Mike Newsom (Albuquerque, N.M.)..« Newsom is also a javelin thrower on the Ag’s track team. The men’s varsity water polo team will get its season underway on Sep tember 18 with a “fun” game against the A&M alumni before facing Southern Methodist University in Dallas on September 22. The women’s team will open its season against Clear Creek on Sep tember 21. Rams and Bills fail in finding Simpson a home Associated Press It was a simple sentence, five words spoken in the appropriate sol emn tone by a man whose mind was troubled. “The issue is totally dead,” said Lou Saban, who coaches the Na tional Football League’s Buffalo Bills. The issue was a running back named O.J. Simpson and Bills’ at tempts to fulfill his wishes by trading him to a West Coast team. Though the stakes got higher as Wednesday progressed, amounting virtually to a king’s ransom for the spectacular Simpson, the Los Angeles Rams were unable to ac quire the runing back’s services. They offered the Bills all 17 of their draft choices in 1977, mere hours before a judge found the draft to be a violation of the anti-trust laws. They offered to pay the bonuses for every player the Bills sign next season. But even with NFL Commis sioner Pete Rozelle serving as the mediator between Buffalo owner Ralph Wilson and Los Angeles Gen eral Manager Don Klosterman, no agreement could be reached. The Bills insisted that All-Pro defensive end Jack Youngblood be part of their compensation for Simpson, and when the Rams refused to part with him, the issue was totally dead. “We tried again,” said Kloster man, “but we weren’t successful.” Neither were the San Francisco 49ers, who also made a last-ditch bid before the interconference trading deadline expired at 4 p.m. Accord ing to reports, they offered defensive end Cedric Hardman, running back Wilbur Jackson and defensive back Reggie Taylor for the All-Pro run ner. That left the Rams with their draft choices, the 49ers with their players, and Simpson with the Bills, where he doesn’t want to be. Though two years still remain on Simpson’s five- year contract, he has not yet ap peared at training camp or played in a preseason game. He isn’t on the club’s active roster. The next move, it appears, is that Wilson again will try to persuade Simpson to return to action with Buf falo. Wilson told a Los Angeles newspaper he thinks it can be done. It appears few other options are available. The Bills no longer can trade with National Conference clubs, leaving only the AFC Oakland Raiders as prospective dealers since Simpson has said he won’t go to San Diego. 295.00 THREE MACHINES IN ONE.
