Ags try for 3rd
in SWC race
By RICHARD OLIVER
Sports Editor
The fight for second place in the
Southwest Conference by the Texas
A&M University men’s soccer team
ended sadly last weekend, and the
Aggies never even had to get on the
field.
The University of Texas swept a
weekend doubleheader from Texas
Tech and Arkansas to clinch second
place in the SWC Soccer League,
but Texas A&M Head Coach Telmo
Franco is still proud of his team’s
6-3-2 record thus far.
“Texas came out with some sur
prising wins,” he said Thursday.
“I’m satisfied. Our expectations
were realistic when we said at the
beginning of the year we didn’t want
to finish any lower than second. No
body expected Texas would be
second. We were watching TCU
(who beat the Ags, 1-0 earlier in the
year). Texas is not that strong, but
they beat the two teams. It was kind
of disappointing. I was really making
my calculations (that A&M would
finish second) that way counting on
them (Texas) losing or tying one.”
Now, the Aggies look to Saturday,
when they must face Rice in Houston
at 2 p.m.
“We have to be happy with the
results of the year. Last year, we
were dead last in the conference. It’s
a good thing to accomplish (to be
7-3-2).”
Franco said the game against the
Owls will still be important.
“Rice is actually weaker than the
other teams,” he said. “We don’t
need to go around thinking they re
weaker, though.”

DAWN OF
THE DEAD
United Press International
This legend is almost as old as the
one involving Sleepy Hollow and the
headless horseman.
It says that no team with two losses
in league play shall win the South
west Conference championship and
that’s that.
But legends don’t always stand the
test of time. Green cheese, for inst
ance, appears to be in short supply
on the moon.
“For blood, guts and chuckles,
most horror fans will undoubtedly
find Dawn of the Dead finger
lickin’ good.”
iDavid Ansen, Newsweek
At any rate, the Southwest Con
ference Legend has held up for all
these years and it may again in 1980.
But it may not.
The somewhat topsy turvy season
currently winding down could hold a
few more surprises. Southwest Con
ference officials have researched the
matter and determined that never
before have there been so many
teams still hoping for a league crown
this late in the season.
There is even the chance of a six
way tie for first place.
The conference race will either
become a lot clearer or almost hope
lessly jumbled this Saturday — de
pending on the outcome of the
games in Waco and Austin.
Baylor, of course, still does not
have a blemish on its conference
chart, but the Bears have three
games left and their posture is sud
denly a little tilted since they drop
ped a game to San Jose State last
week.
Houston has but one league loss
(to Baylor) and the Cougars appear to
be on a roll since their defense has
started playing like its old awesome
self. But Houston must take on the
enraged Texas Longhorns Saturday,
facing a team that has lost two in a
row.
Now, for instance, if Baylor should
lose to Arkansas on regional tele-
vison Saturday and Texas should
whip Houston, the Bears
one conference loss and evi
else would have at least
there would still be a
in the season.
But if Houston loses and
wins, the Bears would havei
a co-championship and w
only one win away froma
Cotton Bowl.
