The I have won nine straight since Ifearlings bounced the Fish, •22 in Austin in 1967. Yearlings are sporting a lecord, beating Baylor, 34-28; 28-8; and TCU, 37-8. The loss on the Texas record ■I to SMU, 21-14. ^ llflexas will have the best team .’I’ played,” Keller said. “It | Jj jear.’t matter what their record “""^liswill be the toughest game I tie season.

We |tmake near as many errors sively and our line blocked r. Lex James played his best at quarterback, and Vance ow and Jerry Sherman ran individual season rushing record with 438 yards in 70 carries. Roger McFarland set the record with 546 yards in 119 carries in 1950. Kerbow has established a new scoring record with seven touchdowns for 42 points. Bobby Drake Keith of the 1953 Fish team scored 41. Kerbow, with 178 yards against Texas Tech, gained more yardage in that one game than any Fish back in five games last season. Last year’s top gain- er was Doug Robbins witn 173 yards. The Aggie Fish have relied heavily on their defense to set the offense up with good field position. The Fish defenders have turned the ball over to the of- fense 15 times on pass intercep- tions and 13 times on fumbles. The 1968 squad, particularly known for their defense, turned in 12 pass swipes and got seven enemy fumbles. “Defensively we had a good second half against Tech,” Keller said. “Kent Findley played his best game and Butch Kamps was playing better. Boice Best also had another good game. Grady Hoermann and Gary McCaffrey did a good job at linebacker. We were especially glad to have Den- nis Carruth back. He played pret- ty well considering that he only worked out two days prior to the Tech game. Carruth was see- ing his first action since a knee operation following the Texas High School All-Star game. JOHN SWEDEEN The secondary is led by Brad Dusek, Grady Hoermann, Robert Murski, and Kent Finley with two interceptions each. Dusek owns a 35 yard return of one of his interceptions against the TCU Wogs. Dusek has also returned 16 punts for 116 with the longest being for 28 yards against the Wogs. In four games the Fish have amassed 1,338 yards total offen- sive, gaining 846 yards on the ground and 492 yards passing. Opponents have knocked out a total of 910 yards total offensive with 318 yards on the ground and 592 through the airways. Keller will probably start an offensive team composed of John Swedeen at weak end, Mike Faulkner at weak tackle, Fred Placke at weak guard, Buster Callaway at center, at strong guard, Robert Gerasimowicz, Herman Mauch at strong tackle, and Homer May at strong end. In the Fish backfield, James will start at quarterback, Kerbow will start at tailback, Carry Davis at fullback and Tommy Goodwin at wingback. Defensively the line will be anchored by Ralph Sacra at left end, Kamps and Best at the guards and Gary Martin at right end. Greg Hall, McCaffrey, Hoer- mann will hold down the line- backing. The secondary will be composed of Finley at rover, half- backs Murski and Gary White- head and Dusek at safety.

When Notre Dame lines up for the 33rd Cotton Bowl Classic next Jan. 1, the Fighting Irish are almost certain to be looking at the most prolific team in South Conference history. Whether it’s Texas or Arkan- sas—and everybody else is now officially eliminated from title contention — the Fighting Irish should be fighting a team that has rewritten at least some SWC offensive records. In Arkansas’ case, the Razor- backs are averaging 85.1 offen- sive plays per game. SMU set the conference standard last year by passing or running 855 times, an average of 85.5 plays per game. The Razorbacks need to run 174 plays in their last two games, admittedly no easy task since they face the strong defensive teams of Texas Tech (Thanks- giving Day) and Texas (Dec. 6). But the ball-hogging Hogs have already broken one SWC record twice this year, putting the ball in play 110 times against Wichita State and 107 against Oklahoma State. Texas’ 69-7 victory over TCU bettered two records—the intra- league mark of 60 set by Baylor against Arkansas in 1922 and 343 points scored by the Long- horns last year. That frightful explosion pushed Texas’ season mark to 350 points. And the 651 yards Texas amassed hiked the total offense to 3,912 yards, putting the Long- horns within 564 yards of the one-season offense record estab- lished by Texas last year. The Longhorns are gaining an aver- age of 5.9 yards per play. Texas now has 3,056 yards rushing, only 259 yards shy of the ’68 team’s conference record of 3,315 yards. While the SWC’s two unbeaten, nationally ranked teams were threatening records last week, some individual standards fell. Bill Burnett, Arkansas’ tail- back who’s leading SWC rushers, broke conference and school scoring records. Burnett tallied three times in the 28-13 victory over SMU and now has 16 touch- downs for the season, the same number he tallied last year as a sophomore. His 192 points is a new Arkansas career record and beats the two-year career total of 182 set by Wesley Bradshaw of Baylor in 1921-22. Burnett is also within easy distance of the Kicker Gossett Looks To Dallas By Bob Myers Associated Press Sports Writer LOS ANGELES (A*)—His team- mates call him “The Boomer” and he is the second leading scorer in the National Football League. But individual achievements mean nothing. The only score place-kicker Bruce Gossett is in- terested in is a bigger one for the Rams over the Dallas Cow- boys here Sunday. The Rams, on top in the Coast- al Division, 9-0 and the only un- beaten team in pro football, and the Cowboys, 8-1 and leaders in the Capitol Division, will perform before a sellout crowd in Memori- al Coliseum. “We’ll have our hands full,” said Gossett during a break in practice Wednesday. “The Cow- boys have one of the better teams in football. They’re explosive and excellent on defense.” Gossett recalled he came to the Rams quite by chance. Elroy Hirsch, then a Ram executive and now athletic director at Wis- consin, came to the University of Richmond to scout quarterback Ron Smith. “I saw Ron and heard about this place kicker, so I signed them both,” Hirsch later recalled. Ronnie Smith didn’t make it with Los Angeles but Bruce the Boomer is still very much around. Read Battalion Classifieds RALPHS PIZZA EAST GATE MONDAY THRU THURSDAYS SMORGESBORD $1.25 PER PERSON career record of 38 touchdowns set by Doak Walker of SMU (1945-49) and not-so-easy dis- tance of the season record of 20 touchdowns held by Jim Swink of TCU (1955). And Jerry Don Sanders firmly entrenched his size 6-D shoe at the head of the all-time SWC field-goal list. The husky Texas Tech senior booted his 10th and 11th three-pointers of the season in the 41-7 victory over Baylor to erase the previous season record of nine he held with Texas’ Tony Crosby 1963) and Tech’s Kenny Vinyard (’67). Gary Hammond of SMU and Gordon Utgard of Baylor, one of whom will own the one-season kickoff return yardage record, continued well ahead in that cate- gory. Hammond returned two for 48 yards to become the first SWC player ever to return kickoffs for more than 600 yards in a season. He now has 617 yards, while Utgard is at 576. Linzy Cole scored his third TD of the season on punt re- turns when he returned one 65 yards against Texas. He took over the lead in that department by three yards over Arkansas’ Terry Stewart, 273 to 270, as Stewart returned three for only four yards. Among the ball carriers, Bur- nett increased his lead over run- ner-up Daryl Doggett of SMU to cm/pm “LAST SUMMER” OLD ARMY HERE FRIDAY CIRCLE ADULTS ONLY “MIRACLE OF LOVE” Plus “OF BEDS AND BROADS” PALACE Brcjan ‘MARLOWE’ QUEEN SPANISH NITE Thursday Only “EL LIBRO DE PIEORA” i iii b hc.,<iTrT u> n u>«pHi i; xf ass V Rf I WEST SCREEN “THE GRADUATE” Plus “DARLING” EAST SCREEN “THE TIGER AND THE PUSSY CAT’ Plus ‘LADY IN CEMENT’ 60 yards by outgaining the 5-6 mini-Mustang, 103 yards to 62. Bertelsen, teammate Ted Koy and Arkansas fullback Bruce Maxwell remain the average leaders—Ber- telsen averaging 7.3 yards and Maxwell and Koy 5.8. National passing leader Chuck Hixson of SMU padded his SWC lead over TCU’s Steve Judy with 26 completions in 39 attempts for 196 yards against Arkansas. Hixson now has 2,160 yards pass- ing for the year and a 61.0 com- pletion percentage. On the other end of Hixson’s throws most frequently—six each —were Hammond and Ken Flem- ing. Hammond held his receiving lead with a total of 49, while Fleming moved from fifth last week to second with 35. Fleming’s afternoon’s work also catapulted him to a tie for fifth in SWC career receptions with 88, leaving the junior tight end in a position to challenge Jerry Levias’ career record of 155. Hammond’s 49 re- ceptions ties for the 11th best in a single season with one game to play. TAMU SPECIAL ATTRACTION Presents JOHNNY RIVERS BONFIRE NIGHT, NOV. 26th G. Rollie White Coliseum 8:45 p. m.
