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.
Another one bites the dust

Dallas Saturday to take on the SMU Mustangs in a game that
will be televised regionally by ABC at 2:50 p.m.

ly down after its first loss to Rice since 1973, but just
LllJ JWhen things looked their worst, the players got a little

< cm |j That boost came Monday when ABC notified Texas

r |H OV culties this season.

Wilson is still optimistic
Yes, it will be a matchup between an old, experienced
squad and a very young one. 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.
