The basketball game will be played tonight at 7:30 p.m. in the Dallas Convention Center arena. The North holds a 17-13 advantage in the series. The Aggies will have two quar terbacks in Thursday’s fray, one on each team. Mike IMosley from Humble and Rhett Butler Darnell from De Kalb will be calling the sig nals for the Rebs and Yanks respec tively. Darnell may have more: of a problem seeing action than Mosley as Odessa’s Darrell Shepherd and Port Neches Groves’ Ricky Eth ridge are other quarterbacks on the North squad. The other A&M recruits are Elroy Steen, a defensive back from Gonzales playing for the South and Doug Carr, a lineman from Gaines ville with the North group. Mosley is the most heralded of the five quarterback recruits signed by the Aggies. He gained 321 yards on 12 carries in one game last fall— in the first half. He operated the Wishbone offense while at Humble, the same attack used by Emory Bol lard. Mosley is a versatile athlete, also running track in addition to football. He set a state record in the 120-yard hurdles with a 13.6 clock ing and was third in the 100-yard dash. Mosley’s 6-2, 175 lb. frame is a little light by most standards, but it was enough to carry him for 3,000 yards and Humble to the state quar terfinals. The football game will be held in the Cotton Bowl at 7:30 p.m. This is the 43rd meeting of the Texas all- star gridders with the North holding a 24-15-3 lead in the series. Until 1957, the teams were coached by college coaches. This year, Al Dennis from Baytown Sterling will handle the South while his counterpart will be Sherman’s Tommy Hudspeth.

AUTO INSURANCE FOR AGGIES: Call: George Webb Farmers Insurance Group 3400 S. College 823-8051 The green flag for the Indy of the Southwest will drop at 3:15 p.m. this Sunday as Texas World Speed way hosts the American Parts 200. Six Indianapolis 500 winners, in cluding four-time Indy 500 champ A. J. Foyt, will be amongst the 26-car field. The 100-lap, 200-mile race is sponsored by American Parts System, Inc., thus the name Ameri can Parts 200. The race will be for national championship points and is sanctioned by the United State Auto Club for the championship (Indy- type) cars. There are only 15 such races in the country including the Indianapolis 500. In addition to Foyt, Texas’ Johnny Rutheford, Al Unser, Gor don Johncock and Bobby Unser are former Indy champions competing in Sunday’s race. Also offering stiff competition will be Tom Sneva, who is currently leading in points toward the na tional championship Citicorp Cup, Roger McCluskey, Wally Dallen- bach and Pancho Carter. Foyt, the local favorite, will be seeking his 60th championship car victory. Win No. 58 was his unprec edented fourth triumph at In dianapolis earlier this year. Mario Andretti with 32 wins and Al Unser with 31 are the only drivers ever to have won half of Foyt’s total. Foyt won five straight pole po sitions at the Speedway during 1976 and won last year’s Texas 500 stock car race for his first win in the state of Texas. Thus, he does have some experience with running the two- mile Speedway oval. A Pick the Winner contest will be sponsored by Speedway officials be fore the race with a prize $200 going to the winner. Contestants must pick the first three finishers correctly to win the cash. In case of a tie, the person who guesses closest to the average speed of the race will be the winner. Neither purchase nor attendance is required, but entry blanks must be deposited before 2:30 p.m. on July 31. Indy car practices will be held this Saturday at 1 p.m. followed by two Datex Challenge Series races at 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. A concert will be staged at 8 p.m. Saturday.
