THE REDBIRD Nov. 13, 1970-Page 4
Cardinals Battle Aggies,
Try to Snap Losing Streak
Lamar's gridders will journey
to Las Cruces, N. M., Saturday
to face the tough New Mexico
State Aggies in a 1:30 p.m. en-
counter at Memorial Stadium.
The 'Birds will be trying to
snap a six-game losing streak a-
gainst coach Jim Wood’s Aggies,
who were idle last week.
After posting back-to-back 5-5
seasons, the Aggies have enough

returning veterans to make life
miserable for their opponents.
The entire offensive backfield,
keyed by All-America candidate
Ron (Po) James, returns intact.
Seven defensive regulars return
including George Wells, a touted
defensive lineman. Altogether,
Wood has 27 lettermen returning
to his 1970 squad.
James is the key to the offense.
The 6-0, 195-pound junior needs
only 1,387 yards this fall to sur-
pass Oklahoma’s Steve Ownes
all-time NCAA career rushing
record of 3,867 yards. James’
two-year totals of 1,291 and 1,182
yards adds up to a total of 2,473
steps.
Senior Rhett Putnam, a mid-
season starter in 1969, has the
tools at quarterback. He com-
pleted 51.8 per cent of his passes
last year (57 of 110) for 946
yards and nine touchdowns. Rug-
ged blocker Bill Byrd and fUll-
must be presented.)

back Jim Terrells return along
with receivers Al Barnes (21 for
458) and Moody Jackson (11 for
212).
The offensive line is a big
question mark, but tackles He-
witt Davis (230) and Chuck Hern-
don (235) are the big-play men.
Wells (6-2, 240) is one of the
top defensive linemen in the coun-
try. Linebacker Mike Alcott (235)
and tackle Joey Jackson (255) are
the other top hands on defense.
All four defensive backs return
after intercepting 19 passes in
1969.
Among the top newcomers are
defensive ends Raymond Mack
(255), and Ron Gibson (235) and
offensive linemen Richard Wel-
don (270) and Gene Shepherd
(227).
Tech’s hopes are based on the
throwing of Tommy Tomlin, who
hurled two scoring tosses in La-
mar’s 37-31 loss to Trinity last
week.
Tomlin, who had been sidelined
by a shoulder separation sinc£
Oct. 6, connected on 19 of 33
aerials for 230 yards.
Pat Gibbs is Tomlin’s leading
target. Gibbs hauled in both
scoring shots against the Tigers.
It should be an interesting con-
test as the ’Birds will utilize
their aerial tactics against New
Mexico State’s powerful rushing
game.
The tilt will be broadcast lo-
cally by KAYC radio.

Geroge Blanda, the Oakland Raiders’ ageless warrior, con-
tinues to improve with age. Blanda kicked a 52-yard field goal
with three seconds remaining Sunday to give the Raiders a 23-
20 victory over the Cleveland Browns.
The 43-year-old quarterback-kicker, who entered the game
after starter Daryle Lamonica was lifted with an injury in the
nnar period, drove tne naiuers 70 yards for the tying touch-
down shortly before booting the game deciding field goal.
Blanda is beginning to make a habit of garnering heroics
lately. A week earlier he also booted a 48-yard field goal
with three seconds to play to enable Oakland to tie Kansas City
17-17.
Blanda’s effort Sunday gave the Raiders a 4-2-2 record and
kept them in first place in the Western Division of the Ameri-
can Football Conference.
The Texas Longhorns, who stumbled and bumbled to a 21-14
victory over lowly Baylor University, are beginning to suffer a
man power shortage. The ’Horns lost defensive back Alan Lo-
wry and defensive end David Arledge with knee injuries in the
bruising contest against the aroused Bears.
Texas, after running up a 21-7 halftime lead, had to hold
off the determined Bruins constantly in the final period. Baylor
stunned the defending national champions with a 73-yard pass
play in the second quarter and linebacker Ray Penn returned
a blocked Longhorn punt for a score in the fourth period.
The Steers were blanked in the second half for the first
time since their 1968 joust with Texas A&M.
The shaky victory kept Texas in a tie with Arkansas for the
lead in the Southwest Conference race. Both teams own 4-0
marks.
On the local scene, the Cardinals travel to Las Cruces,
N.M., to lie New Mexico State. The Redbirds improved
their offensive output in last week's 37-31 Toss to Trinity. Re-
gular quarterback Tommy Tomlin, who had been sidelined by a
shoulder separation since Oct. 6, passed for two touchdowns
againr' :Y Bengals. Tomlin’s return was encouraging since
the ’Birds have been bothered by numerous injuries during the
campaign.
We posted an 18-0 showing last week, which ran our mark
for the year to 103-43-2. This corner is hist a little concerned
about '.icting grid scores on a Friday the 13th issue. But
with my supei suuuu suuaiumg, iers try once again.
IN THE SOUTHLAND CONFERENCE:
New Mexico State 24-Lamar 20-- The Cardinals might pull
an upset with the return of a healthy Tommy Tomlin, but the
Aggies should feast on a leaky Tech pass defense.
Trinity 28-Abilene Christian 14— Trinity’s tough running
attack should lead the way to victory. The Wildcats will miss
star quarterback Jim Lindsey, who suffered a broken collar
bone against Texas-Arlington last week.
Arkansas State 35-Texas-Arlington 10— A-State will clinch
their third consecutive SLC title against the lowly Rebels who
are 0-8 for the year.
AND IN-THE SOUTHWEST CONFERENCE:
Arkansas 31-SMU 10— The Porkers are looking forward to
the:.:- jig shootout with Texas Dec. 5, in Austin. The Ponies
simply don’t have enough firepower to bring down the Hogs.
Texas Tech 17-Baylor 14— This one could go either way.
Bill Beall’s improving Bruins may be a bit down after deliver-
ing a supreme effort against Texas last week. Chuck Napper leads
a potent Red Raider offense.
Rice 17-Texas A&M 10— The Owls will hand the Aggies their
eighth consecutive loss. Aggie partisans are waving bye-bye to
coach Gene Stallings.
Texas 31-TCU 14— Darrell Roval’s Longhorns looked shaky
agai.-s.t - Baylor last_week. The Horned Frogs remember their
6-0 conquest of the ’Horns in 1961 which spoiled Texas’ national
title hopes.
ELSEWHERE AROUND THE NATION:
LSU 28-Mississippi State 10— The Tigers displayed a tough
defense in downing Alabama 14-9 last week.
Auburn 30-Georgia 14— The Bengals continue to roll after
shelling Mississippi State 56-0 last week. Auburn’s Pat Sul-
livan leads the nation in total offense.
Alabama 27-Miami 9— Crimson Tide bounces back from a
tough loss to LSU. Scott Hunter leads the Alabama offense
against an inexperienced Hurricane defense.
Nebraska 24-Kansas State 14— The Cornhuskers are eyeing
another Big Egith title and a possible Orange Bowl berth. Bob
Devaney’s crew bombed Iowa State 54-29 in their last outing.
Oklahoma 28-Kansas 13— The Sooners are high after an
emotion-filled triumph over Missouri. Oklahoma still has hopes
of sharing the Big Eight Crown while the Jayhawkers were thumped
by Colorado 45-29 last week.
Michigan 34-Iowa 17— Wolverines warm up for their Nov.
21 clash with Ohio State for the Big Ten title.
Norte Dame 30-Georgia Tech 7-- Many fans consider the
Irish to be the bation’s top collegiate squad. The Notre Dame
