New Mexico next foe
Three shift positions
Pepper Rodgers termed Tuesday's football practice "good," but would not elaborate on strategy for the New Mexico game this Saturday night in Albuquerque.
Only players listed as doubtful starters for the game are George McGowan, safety with a strained shoulder, and John Mosier, tight end who is suffering from a head injury. "I hope they can play,
MU's Moore logs Big Eight back of week
KANSAS CITY (UPI)—Joe Moore, the explosive tailback who got Missouri off and running with a 58- yard touchdown burst against Illinois and wound up with 185 yards rushing, was named the Big Eight Back of the Week yesterday by a panel of conference sportswriters,
Moore, who was taken out of the game with three minutes remaining in the third period, jumped to the second spot on the Tigers' all-time single game rushing list. Only Harry Ice, who ran for 218 in 11 carries against Kansas in 1941, has done better.
It was Moore's second straight game of over 100 yards rushing and moved him into the conference rushing lead in front of Oklahoma's Steve Owens, the Sooner tailback who had controlled the Big Eight rushing department for two seasons.
In addition to rushing an average of just over eight yards per carry, Moore also pouced on a down-field fumble by Mel Gray to keep the Tigers in possession on the drive.
Overall, the 6-1, 196-pound junior from St. Louis, outrushed the entire Illinois backfield.
Missouri coach Devine said Moore is "one of the hardest workers we have at Missouri. He has improved tremendously."
Devine added, "He still has trouble fielding the ball, but he's working on it."
Moore has now rushed for 315 yards in two games. His average for 48 attempts is 6.6.
Kansas high school All-State fullbacks for four straight years (1965-68) are members of this year's Kansas varsity squad. Dave Aikins, 1965 All-State fullback who missed the 1967 season because of a knee injury, is starting at offensive guard in his final year of college football. Mike Reeves, All-State fullback in 1966, John Riggins (1967) and Chuck Schmidt (1968) are all playing backfield spots.

but at this point we just can't tell." Rodgers said.
Several position changes were made: Rich Rucker moved from fullback to tailback; Bob Tysus moved from defensive tackle to middle guard; Bruce Mitchell moved from middle guard to tackle.
Doug Knop, defensive tackle, has decided to drop from the squad for the season. He has been bothered by a recurring knee injury.
Rodgers did not single out anyone for specific praise, but he emphasized the whole team had worked hard. The squad marched sharply through controlled scrim-mages and control sprints under clear skies.
"Night games are always tougher for the players to get ready for. It is mentally tiresome to have to wait all afternoon for the game that night," he said.
"But we don't practice any differently for a night game than we do for a day game," he said. "I wish I could find a way to compensate for it in practice, but I haven't found it yet."
When asked if he was planning on having any redshirts this season, Rodgers simply said, "We let them wear white shirts and we let them wear blue shirts, but we haven't let any of the boys put on red shirts yet."
BOSTON (UPI)—New York Jet quarterback Joe Namath formally opened his newest saloon, Bachelors III—in Boston yesterday and said he anticipated none of the problems which prompted pro Football Commissioner Pete Rozelle to force him out of his New York City bar.

Namath, who said he would be a "commuting quarterback" to get business rolling in the Pub, said he had discussed opening the new Boston restaurant with Rozelle before going ahead with his plans.
Namath said he and the other owners, which include former Jet player Ray Abruzzi and former Boston Patriot receiver Jim Colclough, had discussed the Boston

Namath, who is scheduled to play the Patriots here on Sunday, said his present plans included opening similar saloons in Miami and possibly Los Angeles.
