DALLAS (AP) — If Texas and Texas A&M can win their sec- ond-to-last Southwest Confer ence games this week, the league has a chance to end its 81st and final football season in style. The ninth-ranked Longhorns land No. 15 Aggies, who moved up three spots with a 56-14 whipping of Middle Tennessee State Satur day, could square off for a SWC ti tle one last time in two weeks. Baylor still stands in Texas’ ^ay. Their Thanksgiving Day game is shaping up to be the Longhorns’ toughest conference test before A&M, and Texas quar terback James Brown has just four days to recover from a sprained ankle suffered in a 27-19 victory over Texas Christian Uni versity Saturday. “If there’s any way possible he can play, he’ll play,” Texas offen sive lineman John Elmore said. Baylor (7-3, 5-1) can win a piece of the league title if it can upset Texas in Austin Thursday. “I just told the grays in the lock er room that this is why they came to Baylor, to have a chance to play for the conference title on national television,” Baylor coach Chuck Reedy said after a 34-6 vic tory over Rice. “This is what we’ve been work : ing for all year.” The Aggies (7-2, 4-1) must deaf with Texas Christian (6-4, 3-3), which would like nothing better than to ruin A&M’s title chances in what could be their last-ever meeting in football. “I’m glad we can now focus on what’s ahead,” said Aggies coach R.C. Slocum of A&M’s decisive fi nal games. Usually it’s the running back who lauds his offensive linemen after a big rushing day, as Texas Tech’s Byron Hanspard did fol lowing a 180-yard day in the Red Raiders’ 45-14 victory over SMU. In Waco, the Bears played a little role reversal. “It was all Jerod (Douglas). It wasn’t us,” said Baylor offensive tackle Fred Miller after Douglas’ 197-yard, two-touchdown perfor mance. Despite his 5-9, 174-pound frame, Douglas has put up power numbers for Baylor. He became the fifth Baylor back to rush for 1,000 yards in a season and set the record for all-purpose yardage at 1,512. Baylor coach Chuck Reedy is appreciative: “He does things that you look at and say, ‘How did he do that?”’ There was a lot happening in the Cotton Bowl Saturday. In one empty section, fans made a play for the cameras by folding up seats to create a pattern that spelled “ESPN.” In parts of the other 15 com pletely empty seating sections, fans created numerous Texas Tech double-T logos, a tribute to Mustangs linebacker Eric Tomlin and a giant stick figure. Police chased down three kids who spelled out “SMU SUX” in the up per deck. a Assistant editors — Work with section editors with editing, managing staff, designing pages Reporters — Cover assigned news stories around campus, interview and research for stories Opinion Columnists — Write opinionated, persuasive columns about current events, social topics Editorial Writers — Write editorials that convey the editorial board's stances on issues Sportswriters — Cover assigned sports events, write sports columns, interview and research Photographers — Take pictures of sporting events, features, news events, and process photos Page Designers — Design the pages of the newspaper, coordinating graphics, text and pictures Graphic Artists — Create graphics to go along with stories and columns Copy Editors — Edit all stories, columns and features for grammar, style and clarity Aggielife Feature Writers — Cover assigned stories dealing with student life at Texas A&M Cartoonists — Design humorous cartoon strips that will be run daily Office Staff — File, answer phones, maintain archives, type letters and take messages The Battalion is an equal opportunity employer and is committed to diversity.
