I ★ ACC Senior, Trinity Freshman
Statistical Leaders Rated
As Surprise to Conference
Roy Gaspard
David Fuller, a senior from
ACC starting his first game at
quarterback, and Ronnie Carpen-
ter, a Trinity freshman cast in
the same role, emerged as the
key statistical leaders—-and
surprises—as the Southland
Conference fired four of its five
barrels in the first round of
barrels in the first round
of the 1967 football chase.
The two opposites both got the
job donw on victorious notes and
wound up tied for the total
offense lead with 198 yards
each. Carpenter, a San Antonio
schoolboy product, made all his
yards through the air; Fuller
pitched for 153 yards and ran
for 45.
Naturally, Carpenter wound
up on top in passing with his
198 yards, trailed by Fuller.
Another Trinity frosh, end Walt
Huntley, caught seven Carpenter
shots to lead the receivers.
His catches were good for 72
yards.
Scooting Keith Luft, a junior
tailback from Waco, who was
put into a starting role when
UT at Arlington lost its bril-
liant Raymond Matthews to a
back injury, ripped off 143 yards
rushing in a 17-14 win over
Los Angeles State to pace ground
gainers. The only other century
rusher is230-pound Tom Smiley,
Lamar Tech's All-SLC fullback,
who rammed for 102 yards
in a 17-6 loss to New Mexico
State.
This was the only Conference
defeat in four tests. ACC lashed

afternoon. But Coach Vernon
think Aggies, particularly the
funny at all.
Warren Woodson’s NMS crew
handed Lamar a stinging 17-6
loss to open the 1967 season.
It was the Aggies’ 13th consec-
utive victory on Las Cruces soil
and their second victory in three
meetings with Lamar Tech.
Slick operating Sal Olivas
drove the A&M offense for
17 points in the first half.
The senior quarterback consis-
tently pulled the big third down
play out of the hat to keep the New
Mexico offense churning through-
out the game.
Lending more than a helping
hand to Olivas’ victory bid were
the “En-four-cers”, NMS’s half-
ton defensive front four, who
seemed to always stall the
Lamar offense on big third
down plays.
Tech did crash through the
Aggie mountain of muscle on
several occasions. Powerful 230-
pound fullback Tom Smiley ram-
bled for better than 100 yards
rushing. And Randy McCollum,
who hit 13 of 26 passes, tossed
Glass and his Cardinals don’t
New Mexico State variety,
are
a TD aerial to halfback Kenny
Montgomery for LT’s only score
in the game.
Statistically the game was on
a fairly even keel. “It was just
a matter of break downs either
offensively or defensively that
hurt us,” stated Glass.
The kicking game was both
a surprise and a let down for
Lamar. End Bill Kilgore punted
four times for a whopping 46
yard average and Wayne Weaver,
a former Tech eager, missed
two field goals and a PAT
via his barefoot kicking style.
Defensively the Cards got
tough during the second half.
Johnny Fuller intercepted a pass
and returned it 47 yards to mount
Lamar’s most serious scoring
threat in the second half. Dwayne
Whitehead, Tech middle line-
backer, threw New Mexico backs
for sizeable losses a number of
times in the late going. But,
Lamar never could rise to the
occasion offensively.

East Texas State, 24-16, and
Trinity blanked National U. of
Mexico, 20-0. The red-hot title
favorite, Arkansas State, opens
next Saturday against major
power Western Michigan Univer-
sity.
End Bill Kilgore of Lamar
Tech, who led the SLC in punt-
ing in ’65 but yielded kicking
duties last year, moved back
to the front of the punters
with a 46.3 night on four boots
at New Mexico. He also speared
six passes to trail Huntley
among first-game receivers.
Halfback Terry Parsons scored
twice for Trinity and leads
early point-makers with a dozen.
ACC’s 346-yard output against
East Texas State paces team
offenses, while Trinity surren-
dered only 120 yards to Mexico
to take charge among defenders.
Last week’s results were:
Trinity 20, Mexico National
University 0, UT Arlington 17,
Los Angeles State 14, Abilene
Christian 24, East Texas State
16, Lamar Tech 6, New Mexico
State 17.
This week’s schedule is: ACC

State U., Southwestern Louisiana
at Lamar Tech, Trinity at South-
west Texas State, New Mexico
State at UT Arlington.
LT Out to Even
Score With DSL
Arch inter-state rivals Lamar
and the University of Southwest-
ern Louisiana collide again
Saturday night in Beaumont and
it promises to be another bruis-
ing, slam-bang fray.
Thanks to back-to-back tri-
umphs of 20-6 and 14-6 during
the past two seasons, the USL
Bulldogs have evened the series
at four games.
Saturday’s conflict will be the
second of the year for both
clubs. Southwestern Louisiana
opened with a 28-14 decision
over inept Louisiana College and
the Cardinals took a 17-6 lick-
ing from New Mexico State.
Once again, USL will operate
on the theory that a ball-control
ground game and a tenacious
defense is the key to victory.
The Bulldogs punched out 65
rushing plays that netted 224
yards against Louisiana College
and limited the Wildcats to
only 93 yards via the foot.
Lamar well-ballanced attack
netted 310 yards total offense
(180 rushing and 130 passing)
against New Mexico State and
230-pound fullback Tommie
Smiley, tailback Kenny Montgo-
mery and flanker Bill Kilgore
operate behind a veteran forward
wall. Randy McCollum directs
the offense.
Although fleet tailback Jim
Kemp romped for 112 yards
in 15 trips as USL ran up
324 yards total offense, the Bull-
dogs used a mighty defense
to score all three of their
touchdowns against Louisiana
College. The defenders also
garnered a safety and Roy
Pendergraft booted two field
goals.
Pendergraft, a freshman from
Chalmette, La., kicked three-
pointers of 40 and 45 yards
in a fine exhibition.
USL recovered fumbles on the
Louisiana College five and 16-
yard lines to set up two quick
tallies in the third period and
safety Bob St. Amant fled 70
yards with a punt that enabled
the Bulldogs to jump ahead 28-7
in a period of seven minutes
after leading only 8-7 at inter-
mission.
Louisiana College did manage
to crack the USL barriers for
172 yards passing, hitting 15
of 36 tries.
The Bulldogs are noted for
taking advantage of opponent’s
mistakes. Last year, USL gobbled
up three Lamar Tech fumbles
and swiped two passes to thwart
the Cardinals.
Tech will be looking for its
eighth consecutive triumph in
Cardinal Stadium and you guessed
it, USL last beat the Cardinals
at home, 20-6 in 1965. The
Redbiras have taken 13 of 15
contests played on Cardinal
turf.
The Cardinals also claim
a defense that jelled in the
second half against New Mexico
State and held the Aggies to
six first downs and 105 yards
total offense after intermission.
Game time is 7:30 p.m. (CDT).
