But at this early date there al- • u ' ead y is evidence pointing to what ivas generally forecast before the season began — Arkansas, Texas and Te^s A&M are the teams with which to contend. Texas A&M took last weekend off after its opening week win over Kansas, but the Longhorns and Razorbacks got started with rela tively easy victories. Despite the me-sided triumphs neither Coach Fred Akers nor Coach Lou Holtz came away from their opening game overly pleased. We got lax in the third quarter,” said Akers. Last year our first game went really smooth, but this year it didn’t.” Texas turned the ball over six times and picked up 161 yards in penalties but still rolled over Rice, M '0, in a conference outing. And Arkansas needed a 97-yard kickoff return by Thomas Brown late in third period to put some momentum in its attack before rol- lingtoa 48-17 decision over Van- derbilt. I, played a ragged game with a | lot of m i s t a kes,” Holtz said. “We’re .going to be a good football team. | We re just not good yet.” i careen from l te'tf MSC in iW SOflW The league’s current big three will be heavily favored this week to pick up their second victories of the season. Texas will be at home against Wyoming; Arkansas travels to Ok lahoma State and Texas A&M will visit Boston College. The games involving SWC teams that may draw the most interest Saturday involve Southern Methodist and Houston. SMU surprised Florida with a series of big defensive plays and another good throwing night by quarterback Mike Ford for a 35-25 decision. It marked the first time in four years the Mustangs had won two games in a row and Saturday they travel to Penn State. And the Houston Cougars will be at home against Utah, when they will try to show they have some thing more than what they dis played in a 17-3 loss to Memphis State last Saturday. Elsewhere this week Baylor, a disappointing 16-14 loser to Geor gia, will be at Kentucky; Rice must face the Oklahoma Sooners in what could be the mismatch of the sea son; TCU will travel to Oregon in hopes of winning for the first time this year and Texas Tech will be at home against Arizona. In Houston, the Longhorns dominated on defense and did a lot of experimenting at running back in an attempt to find a solid combina tion. itional Hani oopei e first scent t / rulii isein i of sontai on 4.

Dickey, Mosley respected Aggies meet Eagles By SEAN PETTY Battalion Staff The Boston College Eagles have one advantage over Texas A&M as they prepare for their second meet ing Saturday. The Eagles won the first meeting between the two teams in 1973, 32-24. But that is the only advantage they have as the nationally ranked Aggies travel to Alumni Stadium in Chestnut Hill, Mass, to try to get their second bird in a row. After pinning the Kansas Jayhawks to their own Memorial Stadium turf two weeks ago with a 37-10 victory, the Aggies stalk the Eagles after a week of rest. What is the Aggies game plan? How else would you get an eagle, go to the air. The Aggies plan to pass more than they did against Kansas, working mostly on short pass pat terns. The speedy Aggie running game has Eagle head coach Ed Chlebek more worried than the Aggie’s pas sing game. Running back Curtis Dickey is really a flyer,” the Eagle coach said, “and quarterback Mike Mosley seems just as fast. They both jump right off the screen at you when you’re watching their game films. They are really, really impressive. Jay Palazola We think that Curtis Dickey is the best back in the country. “Defensively, the Aggies have settled down and are playing well, too,’’ Chlebek said. The Aggie de fense is lead by tackle Eugene San ders, end Jacob Green and leading tackier this year, linebacker Doug Carr. Chlebek has nothing but praise for the Aggies. “This will definitely be our toughest game of the season and as big of a challenge as any team could have.” Chlebek would like to eliminate mistakes like the Eagles had last week against Air Force. Chlebek’s debut as head coach of Boston Col lege was spoiled as the Eagles lost six fumbles and the game to the Falcons, 18-7. “Last Saturday night we executed our offense poorly, but I did see signs that we can make things go, “Chlebek said. “We had some good drives that were killed by fumbles. The Eagles have a couple of key injuries. All-America guard John Schmeding is a doubtful starter be cause of a pulled muscle in his back. Offensive tackle Greg Cantone and defensive back Jeff Kaufman are both doubtful with knee injuries. The Eagles are led offensively by quarterback Jay Palazola who rushed for 99 yards and passed for 102 yards against Air Force. One of Palazola’s top receivers will be flanker and captain of the team, Paul Paul McCarty McCarty who had four receptions for 49 yards last week. This will be the Aggie’s first trijj to New England. The game will start at 5 p.m. CDT and a capacity crowd of 32,000 is expected to watch ^h^Eagle^nd^ggiesd^battl^ Six players carried the ball for Texas in the first half alone and one of them, LeRoy King, ran 47 yards for a touchdown. But a more familiar name, Johnny “Lam” Jones, came in for his share of attention as well. Jones caught touchdown passes of 57 and 33 yards to emphasize the Longhorns’ appa rent aim to throw the ball more this year. “Any team would miss Earl Campbell,” said Akers. “Since he’s gone we have to have a more ba lanced attack. Having more passing is one way to do that and another is to share the running duties between more backs. “We were pleased we got so many youngsters in the game. They will compete, but they are just not con sistent and you expect that in an opener. We will just have to im prove.” Ags home late but... Home openers will be delayed slightly at three SWC schools this year. While Texas A&M won’t play in Kyle Field until Sept. 30, Bay lor’s first Waco appearance is Oct. 7 and TCU doesn’t play at home until Oct. 14.
