United Press International It’s finally time to admit that some body must be trying to tell somebody else something. In other words, if this isn’t the year for the Baylor Bears, they may never have another one. There have been plenty of clues already, what with Baylor coming back from a 21-point deficit to beat SMU and ending its jinx against the Houston Cougars. But last Saturday may have been the clincher. At 4:03 p.m. on a glorious after noon the Bears heard that their chief nemesis had been upset and prompt ly shook out of their lethargy to final ly overcome TCU — a team that had moved the ball up and down the field all day. “It’s good to win when things aren’t going your way,” said Baylor coach Grant Teaff. “I was pleased with our ability to come back in the second half and play well.” And even though Baylor’s 21-6 win over TCU was not all that over whelming, it puts the Bears in envi able position when it comes to the chase for the Southwest Conference championship and the accompany ing trip to the Cotton Bowl New Year’s Day. The Bears had never won seven games in a row to start the season until this year and they will be heavi ly favored to win No. 8 next Saturday in an intersectional meeting with San Jose State. After that, Baylor has Arkansas at home, the suddenly tough Rice Owls on the road and, finally, Texas at home. The rest of the conference clubs will be battling each other next week in what has turned into an interest ing scramble — Arkansas and Texas A&M trying to figure out what’s wrong and the Rice Owls and SMU Mustangs exalting in excellent sea sons. Arkansas, coming off a disappoint ing 24-17 loss to Houston that all but knocked the Razorbacks out of the title picture, must host the Owls in Little Rock Saturday night. SMU will be at home against Texas A&M, a team the Owls whipped last Saturday, 10-6. The Mustangs now can be considered a top candidate for a decent bowl bid since they — spur red by their giant win over Texas — can look ahead to a possible 9-2 re cord. The Aggies, meanwhile, must try to salvage something from a dis astrous season and beating SMU would be a nice start. Texas must try to come back from its loss by taking on Texas Tech in Lubbock. Tech has played only one game since Oct. 4 so if a team should ever be rested it would be the Red Raiders. And Houston, which has shaken off a poor start to win three in a row and stay in the fight for a third con secutive conference championship, hosts the winless TCU Homed Frogs — a team that has come close to win ning week after week.

As Wilson pointed out, some Mustang starters have been playing together for four years, which means they started as freshmen three years ago. There’s no way the Aggies can match that kind of experience and cohesiveness. “When you look at the lineups, they’ve got 12 seniors in their starting squads compared to only two for us,” added Wilson. “They’re just a very fine football team. How they managed to lose to Houston, I don’t know.” The Aggies do have some pluses on their side. Sopho more tailback Johnny Hector had probably his best day against Rice with 123 yards and Texas A&M’s lone touchdown. He was voted the outstanding offensive player by the Aggie coaches, while tackle Mack Moore was the outstanding defensive player with 17 tackles. Wilson will be looking for a similar effort against SMU and is counting on sophomore starting quarterback Gary Kubiak to continue improving. He said Kubiak was an important part of the Aggies’ second half comeback against Rice when they piled up 231 yards and 15 first downs. However, despite that effort, and the fact Rice had absolutely no first downs in the second half, all the Ags could score was six points. That’s because of two missed field goals, a fumble on the three-yard line, an inter cepted pass and a blocked punt. It’s those mistakes Wilson is trying to get rid of during practice this week. They’re also the same execution problems which have dogged Texas A&M all year. However, Wilson is optimistic. “These young people believe in themselves,” ex plained Wilson. “They know they’re good. I’ve got utmost confidence they’ll make it. ” As for injuries, Wilson said Earnest Jackson (ankle injury) should be back along with Leandrew Brown, Mike Little and Darrel Adams which should help bring some experience back to the Aggies.
