Sunday Top Game Sulphur Springs Cowboys and Colts to Clash Wins Two Games SWC Campaign Aggies, Cougars to Clash By MIKE RABUN UPI Sports Writer Texas and Houston are the kind of schools that produce a natural rivalry. The only trouble is that until now that rivalry has not been renewed very often.

That has all changed, of course, with the entry of Houston into the Southwest Conference this year and the first meeting of the Cougars and the Aggies in league play comes about Saturday night on the humid astroturf of Rice Stadium A crowd of 70.000 is expected to cram in for the Cougars first SWC appearance in their home town if not their home stadium. expect a super said Houston coach Bill Yeoman. should be the kind of game you expect when neighbors get less than 100 miles from the center of one campus to the other, but the two teams have not met since 1964 when they ended a 14-year series. During Houston's campaign to enter the SWC, Texas was one of the holdouts in the Cougars efforts to schedule conference clubs. The affair will be the only conference game on the schedule this week while most of the rest of the league teams take themselves out of town.

Texas Tech (1-0) will come back from a week off against New Mexico in Albuquerque and this one will be watched to see if the Red Raiders can put on as impressive a display as they did against Colorado two weeks ago. SMU (1-1) will go into the Dallas suburbs to meet North Texas Stat in Texas Stadium; Rice (1-0) takes its passing attack to LSU; TCU (0-2) will make another likely sacrificial trip to Nebraska; and Baylor (1-1) goes to Illinois. The 11th- ranked Arkansas Razorbacks (2-0 and winners of eight in a row) will be at home against Tulsa. Texas carries a No. 9 rating this week and after wins over Virginia Tech and Kansas State the Aggies will be a heavy favorite against the Cougars.

I know Houston will be a very emotional team for this said coach Emory Bellard. course I think the Aggies will, too. quarterback (Danny Davis) is very dangerous. He scrambles well and has a strong arm. They have excellent receivers and they put a great deal of pressure on the perimenter of the defense Our defense will be severely tested.

But defense is used to being tested and used to being successful. The Aggies led the country in total defense last season and are back on top in the nationwide statistics after two games this season. Houston already has a conference victory in its sack, having upset the Baylor Bears on the opening weekend, 23-5. But last week the Cougars were the victim of a 49-14 lashing administered by Florida, which gained more than 600 yards. had a lot of good said Yeoman, who spent one year at Texas before receiving an appointment to West Point in te mid 1940s.

I think Texas Curtis Dickey is as good as anything Florida has Dickey, the prize freshman from Bryan, will make his first start at halfback this week. Dickey, teamed with fullback George Woodard, who gained 177 yards against Kansas State, give the Aggies a potent running attack. will also start David Walker at quarterback. Walker came on to replace David Shipman last week with the Aggies trailing, 7-0, and quickly rallied to a runaway win. The Sulphur Springs junior varsity and freshman football teams gained a bit of revenge for the Wildcats here Thursday night as they swept a football double header from Bonham's JV and frosh The Sulphur Springs frosh romped to a 36-6 win over the Bonham first year men and the JV edged Bonham's Braves 21-14.

Major League Standings By United Press International National League East W. L. Pet. GB Phils Drawing Nearer Five is Magic Number Now By FRED DOWN UPI Sports Writer Five is the magic number for both Philadelphia and Kansas after the Phillies defeated the St. Louis Cardinals, 7-3, Thursday night and the Royals lost to the Oakland A 8-1.
