J\Vith the sudden emergence of

k.B ABC- r rV is trying to schedule

Revision. If an agreement is
ached, then the game between
,e University of Houston and Texas

'1 was contacted a week ago by
iBC," coach Emory Bellard said. "1
,ld them that two things would
me to come about before I would
oiisider it. First the University of
louston would have to be satisfied
ijth the arrangement, and that

‘Secondly I did not want to move
he game from Saturday to
'hanksgiving Day. That would
neanwe would have only four days
o prepare for the game. ABC said
hat that was the only day it could be
cheduled, so I told them that there
as no reason to talk about it any
irther.
“I have not been contacted by
iBC since that time so as far as I’m
tmeerned the subject is closed.
Bellard may sound harsh in his
tatements, but the Aggie coach has
earned that tampering with the
ichedule can often lead to disaster,

The Aggies lost the game 31-6,
they lost National and Southwest
Conference Championships and
they lost a trip to the Cotton Bowl.
One can learn from his mistakes.
Hopefully the Aggies will correct
their mistakes made in the Rice
game. The SMU Mustangs are the
opposition this week, and the entire
Aggie team is glad to be playing at
home.
“Oh you bet it is good to be back
home, Bellard said. “We’ve been
in too many motels the past weeks.
We missed that Aggie spirit that fills
Kyle Field.
“It seems like all we’ve been
doing is practicing a week, getting
on board a bus, then on a plane and
then a night in a motel. It is good to
be back home to play SMU.
“SMU has a fine football team.
They play very aggressively on both
offense and defense. Ron Meyer and
his staff have them working really
hard.
“We are going to have to quit
making mistakes. I thought we did a
lot of things well in the Rice game.
We had an awful lot of penalties and
mistakes on drives that kept us from
scoring more points. Rice played a
darn fine football game and have
improved a lot over the year.”
The Mustangs and the Owls have
a similar offensive scheme. They
like to pass.
“SMU has been throwing the ball
all year. Ford is throwing the ball
very well. He is a darn fine quarter
back.”
Mike Ford is a freshman from
Mesquite. In his first year at the
helm. Ford leads the Southwest
Conference in throwing. Add to that
fact tailback Arthur Whittington,
and you have a great offensive team.
“They run a big play offense,”
Bellard said. “That Ford can really
throw the ball, and Whittington
adds a running dimension that the
defense just can’t forget. They
played Texas real well. A couple of
breaks here and there and they
could have won that ball game.”
A couple of breaks here and there
are items the Aggies have been giv
ing the opposition all year. The
Aggie schedule is filled with tough
football teams for the remainder of
the season.
A couple of breaks here and there
could spell a couple of defeats
against that kind of opposition.
A loss this weekend all but
guarantees no visit to the Cotton
Bowl. Missed opportunities better
be a thing of the past.
David Brothers (No. 32) has been a strong addition to
the Aggie attack. Brothers gained 82 yards on nine car
ries against Rice.

A superior Texas A&M men’s
vater polo team defeated a first year
earn from Lamar University 16-5 in
’.L. Downs Natatorium last night.
Hie Aggies then went on to defeat
lice University in a second game
25-2.
In the first game, which the Ag-
jies played left handed in order to
ieepthe score down, good offensive
earn work and a eonsistantly strong
lelense marked the Aggies’ game.
With the score 8-0 in the second
juarter, the Aggies decided to keep
he score even lower by shooting
rick shots. None of the trick shots
ver scored but the fact that the Ag-
jes would play in such a manner
ras not appreciated by Lamar’s
layer-coach Bob Davis.
I think they showboated a little
too much,” Davis said after the
game. “They (A&M) are trying to
get water polo started in Texas and
here they go showboating and it’s
kind of discouraging. I would like it
better if they would have stomped
us.”
Aggie coach Dennis Fosdiek had
an answer for the way his team
played:
“We can’t get fired up and reafty
get moving because the other team
is so slow,” he said. “Our players
played left handed; I pulled them
out of the game if they didn’t. That
and the trick shots are all to keep
the score down against a weaker
team.”
“Our biggest problem is that we
never get any competition to im
prove on the skills we’ve got,” Fos-
dick added.
Chuck Burr and Hugo Cuenca
each scored three points for the Ag
gies against Lamar. Bill Kuvlesky
scored two points. Dutchy Kuete-
man, Steve. Sampson, Shawn
O’Gorman, Gil Godreau, Victor
Diaz, Ed Kahil, Chris Boehm and
Jim Woodman each scored one
point.
In the game against Rice the Ag
gies did not try to contain the score
by playing left handed or by taking
trick shots. As the final score indi
cates, they played straight up water
polo for the Owls.
The varsity starters played the
entire first quarter for the Aggies
and then Fosdiek made substitu
tions to give his younger players
some experience.
Sampson and Roger Lien each
scored four points for the Aggies
against Rice. Mark Lenox and Mike
Newsom each scored three points.
George Dallam and Bob Leland
each scored twice. Burr, O’Gorman,
Diaz, Kahil, Scott Harris, That!
Putnam and Quentin Baker each
scored once.
The team plays SMU on Saturday
at 11:00 a.m. in P.L. Downs
Natatorium.
“SMU ought to be tough,” Fos
diek said. “That’s the team that will
give us the competition we need.”
