No. 7 Arkansas (5-0), which like Texas took last week off, will go to Houston’s Astrodome to meet the steadily improving Cougars. Houston put forth a typically brutal effort against SMU last Saturday night, send ing at least a half dozen Mustangs to the bench for medical atten tion. Most teams around the nation have played at least half their schedule and Arkansas is just now making its first road trip of the year. How they deal with their first taste of a hostile en vironment could well have a bearing on the Razorbacks’ hopes for the rest of the year. In addition to their trip to Houston, Arkansas has to play SMU and Texas on the road. Other than those two match ups, there will be one interesting sub-plot unfolding next weekend. Texas Tech (3-3), a team sharp ly improved from last year but still probably a long way from challenging for a place among the conference heirarchy, will take on the No. 1 Washington Huskies in Seattle. Lili Fernandez of the women’s tennis team defeated teammate Vanne Akagi 7-5, 6-3 in the finals of the Texarkana Invitational Sunday, completing Aggie athletic teams’ most suc cessful weekend of the fall season. In addition to the football team’s 28-23 victory over the Baylor Bears, the Aggie softball, volleyball and women’s cross country squads took victories be tween Friday and Sunday. Akagi, a freshman, had beaten Margaret Redfearn of the University of Houston 6-1, ★ ★★★★★★★★★★★•*"* * SCHULMAN J * THEATRES + $1 off adult ticket a 1st Matinee Mon-family night Sch-6 yi ^ Tue-family night M.E.
