The offense executed well T id scored a total of 65 points. The f , e was quick and swarming, y 'ingup only a few first downs the T itire afternoon. j( Although Curtis Dickey went out JCE i i (lu f t0 ^ ea t, he had a good ff. making some long runs out of M Mi f 'formation and scoring on a “ T %ard touchdown run. Both quarterbacks, Mike Mosley I David Beal, looked great, r e T continuously turned losses 0 gains and and passes with effi- wui/° Teague and Russell Mikeska. Beal had an 80-yard touchdown run and hit Teague with a 12-y'aid touchdown pass. David Brothers and Adger Armstrong ran well, both battling for extra inches every time they got the ball. Both Armstrong and Brothers scored twice. The Aggies were divided into two separate teams. The first and second string offense and defense made up the white team and the remaining players made up the blue team. While the first and second team offenses were running roughshod through the blue team s defense, the first and second team defenses were keeping the blue team in the minus yardage column all afternoon. Defensive tackle Eugene Sanders and defensive end Jacob Green spent almost as much time in the blues’ backfield as the blues run ning backs. Someone forgot to tell free safety Carl Grulich that it was just a scrimmage as he tackled anything that moved in the defensive secon dary. Kenneth Talyor, strong safety, also got a big piece of the hitting. Sophomore cornerback Leandrew Brow'n showed what he had by in tercepting two passes. The linebacker corps of Doug Carr, Floyd Randle, Dick Frazee. Cal Pevoto and Mike Little and Randy Harvey were all over th< field and in on most of the tackles. The blue team did score once on a 40-yard field goal by freshman David Hardy. In all it was a very impressive scrimmage. There were the usual early- season penalties, fumbles and missed assignments but those can be worked out. The offense ticked along smoothly, the defense was tough and the kicking game was solid. In short, the Aggies seem ready for the 1978 campaign. United Press International The Southwest Conference foot ball season opens Saturday with three games including a league bat tle between two clubs that seem in tent on heating up a one-time scald ing rivalry. This year’s action commences with the University of Arkansas Razorbacks a popular choice to dominate the conference and perhaps even win the national championship. But favorites have had a way of being knocked aside during the past few years and Texas, Texas A&M, Baylor and Houston all have hopes of doing just that to the Hogs. Of that group only Texas A&M opens its season this weekend, traveling to the University of Kansas for a 1:30 p.m. kickoff. New Texas Tech coach Rex Doc kery will take a squad ravaged by graduation to Los Angeles for a first-ever evening meeting with Southern California in the other non-conference game on the schedule. And in Dallas’ Cotton Bowl Saturday night, Southern Methodist University and Texas Christian Uni versity, which in years past staged some bitter battles, will open against each other. “I’m scared to death about TCU and I hope our players are, too,” said SMU coach Ron Meyer, who recruited well this year only to have his No. 1 recruit — noseguard Dean Haugum — leave school and return home to Colorado. In advance of the season Meyer has also brought up a sore topic, that of the 1977 meeting between SMU and TCU in Fort Worth. That game began at 4 p.m., with temperatures well over 100 degrees on the artifi cial surface, and SMU officials w'ere not too thrilled about it. “Someone could have died out there,’ Meyer said, reopening the discussion ( The rest of the SWC teams open their season a week from Saturday — defending champion Texas visit ing Rice in a conference game, Ar kansas hosting Vanderbilt at Little Rock, Baylor going to Georgia and Houston traveling to Memphis State. As has happened every year since Aggies anticipate openers Several women’s sports are un derway this week at Texas A&M in preparation for the 1978-79 season. The women’s golf team, which finished in the top 20 at nationals in June, will open the season in the All-College Classic in Oklahoma City, Sept. 11-13. Qualifying con tinues this week as Kim Bauer, Rita Aguilar, Shirley Furlong, Carol Berry, Andrea Welch and Monica Welsh compete for five positions. The women’s softball team will meet Sam Houston State in its first game of the season in Huntsville Sept. 12 at 6 p.m. This will he the debut of new coach BUI Galloway who has been assistant softball coach at Indiana University for the past three years. Cross country, tennis, volleyball and gymnastics are also underway with tryouts and practice sessions this week. muni uou ® ieague and Russell Randy Harvey were all over the l'l■ll|ll||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||,|| | |||||||,,|,|||j, | , ||| , ||| £|, | |||,,|||||| | |||,,,||,||||||||||||||j^ MAMA'S PIZZA I .ft DELIVERS “ 11 A.M.-11 P.M.

In addition to Dockery, who in herits the Texas Tech job from his close friend Steve Sloan, Ray Allxml will move in at Rice for Homer Rice, who left the school one day after spring practice ended. Alburn will he the first Rice graduate ever to coach the Owls, who are a near unanimous pick to finish last in the league this season. “You know I never had so many people offer me condolences,’ said Alhorn. You would have thought getting this job was a bad disease. 1 thought about getting a physical. “I’m not looking ahead. I’m in terested in 1978. We must do some thing on the field for people to hang their hats on. I know what makes this school tick. I love Rice Univer sity.” At the other end of the spectrum, Texas A&M has won some support as a logical challenger to Arkansas this year with quarterback Mike Mosley, running hack Curtis Dic key, kicker Tony Franklin and a typ ically nasty defense. But despite year-in and year-out quality personnel, the Aggies have not put a team in the Cotton Bowl game in ten years. grateful for its presence,”, says Charles Tomlinson of Frederick Morgan's THE TAROT OF CORNELIUS AGRIPPA, a collection of 22 prose poems, praised by Bruno Bettelheim (“I truly appreciate these parables”), Nancy Cardoza (“Magi cal ... your book will have a long much- loved life”), Daniel Hoffman (“the imagi native power of the great folktales”), and Richmond fjittimore (“a varied and beautiful series”). jm o, CORNELIUS AGRIPPA by National Book Award Nominee FREDERICK MORGAN Illustrations from the Tarot cards of Gioseppe Maria Mitelli.
