Texas Gains Title Tie
With Win Over A&M
The University of Texas Long
horns tumbled the Aggies to their
fourth straight conference loss
Thursday by a 21-12 ’margin be
fore 42,000 Kyle Field fans.
With the victory, Texas gained
a first place tie with Rice in
Southwest conference standing,
but Rice later was chosen to re
present the league in the Cotton
Bowl against Alabama by virtue of
Rice’s regular season win over the
Longhorns.
The Aggie defeat, coupled with
the upset TCU victory over SMU,
left A&M and TCU tied for the
cellar in conference play.
In the final game of the season
for both teams, Texas showed its
superiority over ( the Aggies after
the Longhorns stopped A&M’s
opening goalWard drive on the
Texas 27.
Aggies Miss Field Goal
An Aggie field goal attempt
from that point on fourth down and
8 yards to go, fell short and rolled
dead on the Texas 10 yard line.
The Longhorns started their
first touchdown drive late in the
first quarter from their own 33,
and rolled 67 yards in 6 plays, in
cluding a sensational 42 yard pass
play from Charles Brewer to Gil
mer Spring.
The play carried to the Aggie
3, and after Dougal Cameron pick
ed up a yard, Ed Kelly plunged
the final two yards for the touch-,
down.
Phil Branch converted with 1:10
left in the quarter to give Texas
a 7-0 lead.
Pass Interference Costly
An exchange of fumbles gave
the Aggies the ball on the Long
horn 45 midway in the second
period, and with the aid of a pass
interference ruling against Texas
in the end zone, A&M pushed over
in 4 plays.
From the Texas 45, Don Ellis
faded back to pass, could find no
open receivers and ran 8 yards to
the 37.
Billie Huddleston took an Ellis
pitchout and swept left’end for 22
yards, stepping out of bounds on
the 15.
Then came the Ellis pass to Ben
nie Sinclair in the end zone Brewer
was charged , with interference,
giving the Aggies the ball on the
Texas 1 yard lihe] first and goal to
go.

Bob Easley tumbled into the
end zone on the next play to give
the Aggies a chance, to tie it up,
but the pass from center on the
point attempt was fumbled. Ellis
tried to run for the point, but was
smothered just short of the goal
line and Texas held a 7-6 lead. •
Delano Womack of the Long
horns took the following kickoff
on the goal line and ran^ it qut to
the Texas 26.
From, that point, Texas backs
galloped through gaping holes in
the A&M. line to surge across the
Aggie goal in 9 plays. Branch
again converted to increase the
Texas lead to 14-6. And that’s the
way the score stood at half time.
Texas Power Tells
In the third- period it was more
Texas power as they started from
their 20 and used 12 ground plays
to eat up 80 yards for the third
Longhorn score. The point after by
Branch jumped the Texas margin
to 21-6 and put the game out of
reach for the Aggies.
It wasn’t until late in the final
period with Texas reserves in the
game that A&M was able to push
across its second marker.
Capitalizing on the second of
two chances brought about by Tex
as bobbles, the Aggies scored in
two plays from the Longhorn 16.

■AgainstLamar Tech Tonigh t
Three returning lettermen form
the foundation of the Aggie bas
ketball team which takes the court
tonight in the season opener
against Lamar Tech in Beaumont.
Roy Martin, James Addison and
Rodney Pirtle are the lettermen
Coach John Floyd is counting on
to guide the team through the
early games, with considerable
help expected from Joe Hardgrove,
junior guard, and John Fortenber
ry, ace forward up from last year’s
freshmen team.
Squadron. May Help
With these five listed as prob
able starters in the season opener,
much help is expected from the
following squadmen who might
break into the starting lineup: Pat
McCrory, 5-11 junior guard from
Waelder; Don Moon, 5-814 junior
guard from Minden; Howard Ho-
meyer, Caldwell product; Frank
Miller, 6-6 sophomore forward from
Sour Lake; Earnest Kennedy, 5-9
sophomore forward from Fort
Worth; Ken Murry, 6-3 senior for
ward from Wills Point; Stan Bak
er, 5-11 senior guard from Fort
Worth; and footballer Joe Boring,
6-0 guard from Dallas with a soph
omore classification in basketball
competition.
Pacing the starters will be Mar
tin, the 6-814 junior center from
Waxahachie, who is a great re
bound artist with a good eye for
the basket, both from outside set
positions and inside hook shots.
Pirtle, 6-214 junior forward from
Coleman, is a fine dribbler who
can sweep through or around the
opposition,, for lay-up crip shots.
He is expected to call the plays
from the floor for the Aggies.
Addison, 6-6 senior from Lipan,
doubles at the center and forward
positions and is a good ball han
dler who adds needed rebound
strength to the team.
Hardgrove, 6-2, is a steady de
fensive performer and is strong
on outside set shots. He is a speedy
hall handler who will play a large
part in Coach Floyd’s plans for a
“shoot and shoot again” style of
basketball for this year.
Fortenberry led the freshmen
last season in scoring and is a
good dribbler, a deadly outside
shooter and a sharp defensive play
er who frequently steals the ball
while opponents are moving down
the court.
The Aggies, after the Lamar
Tech opener, have December con
tests scheduled with Trinity, Uni
versity of Houston, Oklahoma City,
LSU and Texas Tech before enter
ing the conference pre-season tour
nament in Houston during the
Christmas holidays.
