Now the time to av- [enge this defeat has arrived, as the hvobest defensive teams in the con ference prepare to do battle in Little lock. The Aggies were the best defense in the country when they were puted by Arkansas last year. They bst an outright Southwest Confer ence Championship (SWC), the Cot- jjton Bowl, an undefeated season and a possible national championship. A&M now boasts the best defen sive team in the conference and the Mirth-best defensive team in the na tion. Their big challenge this weekend will be stopping the con ference’s leading rusher in Ben Cow ins. Cowins is averaging 115 yards a game. He has rushed for over 800 yards, scored six touchdowns and is averaging 7.3 yards per carry. With a big offensive line in front of him, A&M’s defense could be in for a long afternoon. “Arkansas’ basic football offen sively is option football, coach Emory Bellard said. “They’ve got a fine offensive line that is big, active and experienced. They’ve got three of the best running backs in the con ference and Ron Calcagni is one of the best running quarterbacks in the nation. All of the players in the backfield are game breakers.” A&M has a game breaker of their own in George Woodard who is sec ond behind Cowins in rushing, av- •ryan % ) 3N.-SAT.lM ots MANOR EAST 3 THEATRES MANOR EAST MALL HAPPY HOUR TILL 6:30 ALL THEATRES 6:10 - 7:55 - 9:40 IF YOU VE GOT A TASTE FOR TERROR...

Woodard needs to have a big after noon for A&M. His hitting the holes between the tackles is essential for the Ags to have offensive success. “Anyone who thinks they will run on Arkansas will have some second thoughts after the game,” Bellard said. “They will be the best defen sive team well face all year.” Last year the Hogs stacked 10 men on the line of scrimmage, while shut ting down the Aggie wishbone. Turnovers were ever so costly, turn ing a close game into a rout. The Ags have had two weeks to prepare for this game and will try to turn the tables on Arkansas and pre vent them from returning to Dallas for a second visit in as many years. A&M is playing for a possible Sugar Bowl bid or whatever is offered to them. Kick-off time will be 3 p.m. on Saturday before a sell-out crowd and a national television audience. The magazine will be made up of fiction, poetry, photography, and art lege wrestlers 26-20 in a grudge match held in Dallas. The Ags have held a grudge against the Richland team since last year when Richland claimed the state championship and A&M placed a close second. In an effort to make up for previ ous losses, A&M’s Richard Lynn in the heavyweight division pinned his opponent in 22 seconds. The A&M school record is 19 seconds, and Lynn’s pin was the fastest of the year. Blair Monhollon, 167 pounds and one of the team’s captains, pinned his opponent in 4 minutes and 13 seconds (4:13). So far this season, Monhollon has recorded three pins. A&M’s Randy Stewart, 190 pounds, pinned his opponent, freshman Steve Partido, in 3:35. Other A&M wrestlers contribut ing to the team’s victory include: Rick Vigue, Bob Hines, Bob Be- nevento, Jack Cliff, Tim Caulton, Jay Clements, Stephen Evans. The Ags will face Southwest Texas State University (SWTSU) Saturday at 6 p.m. in G. Rollie White Col iseum. The junior varsity game will start at 4 p.m., and admission is free to both events. The Aggies, who were state runner-up champs last year, will still have to face a strong Texas Tech team from Lubbock in their bid for the Southwest Conference Cham pionship. Two can ride cheaper man than one.
