And in their earlies spening game in history, the Rebels get started wilh MSU's Tigers in Memphis the night of Sept. 4. A schedule feature is the Sept.

The September schedule contrasts with the first four games plaxed a year ago, when the Rebs faced Baylor in Waco, the Texas Aggies in College Stadium and Tulane in New Orleans ahead of a a with Southern.

Saints vs. Giants at Shea NEW ORLEANS (Special)--The Saints will make only their second appearance in New York's Shea Stadium today when they meet the Giants for the sixth time. Both teams will be endeavoring to finish strong after encountering some difficulties during the course of the season. It will be the linal road contest for the Saints, with the kickoff slated for 1:05 p.m. (EST).

When the two clubs last battled in 1972 the Giants crushed the Saints, 45-14, at Yankee Stadium. Later that fall the Saints made their only excursion to Shea Stadium and were edged, 18-17, by the New York Jets. The Giants hold a 3-2 series edge against the Saints wilh four of those games having been played in New York--the Saints prevailing there only in 1969 by a 25-24 count. The Giants' personnel has changed considerably since the teams last met. with Bill Arnsparger now in his second year as a coach.

a quarterback Craig Morton was obtained from Dallas a year ago to direct the attack and he's completed 50.6 per cent of his passes for 2.0-15 yards and nine touchdowns in 1975. His top receivers have been wideouts Walker Gillette and Ray Rhodes and the outstanding tight end, Bob Tucker. New York's most productive rushers have been power backs Joe Dawkins and Ron Johnson. In appraising the Giants, Saints a a i "Their record is somewhat deceiving since they've played everyone tough--except their first game wilh Washington and then they had a bad game recently against Green Bay. Their win over Buffalo can't be overlooked.

Generally, their defense has remained tight and Craig Morton has been a dangerous passer." In their 14-7 defeat by Los Angeles last Sunday the Saints had their defense check the opposition with no more than two touchdowns for the fourth consecutive contest, i extending their losing string to live games. This time the Rams' offense was kept out of the end zone completely as Ihe victors capitalized on a fumbled punt return being lugged 67 yards for their lone six-pointer. Two field goals and safety completed the Californians' scoring but their stout defense held the Saints to 76 yards rushing and a final period TD. With injuries having depleted their available manpower to 37 players--M of whom participated against the Rams--the Saints stuck wilh the Western Division champions all the way, until a last-minute interception at the 38 yard line snuffed out their final threat. Rod replacing the sidelined Mike Strachan at a a was the game's top 'ground-gainer wilh 56 yards on 13 carries.

He also returned a kickoff 31 yards and caught four passes for 29 yards, including aTD. Prk-M good tuoui Tuesday. Uih li Girt-iv-Tr Lkiul PROVES AFTER WEEK KROGER IS LOW PRICE LEADER IN GROCERIES! U.S. Gov't. Graded Choice "People's Choice" Beef ROUND STEAK Full Center Cut Lb.l US.
