BuckarooS would have eliminated
Waco last week. or. II Waco had

might have been reversed. Coach
Tyson was afraid OF his punting and
must have ordered his boys to kick
on third down. They did just that
throughout the game, and IL ham
pered their chances to make @ con-
certed drive down the field. In
two plays they would pick five. six
or seven yards, then kick. III they
had been willing TO risk another try

have changed things considerably.

might say, cut down the Tigers Of
