Roddy Osborne, Cadet quarterback is shown rounding end on a 19-yard gallop in the first quarter of last Saturday’s game. A 15-yard penalty on the next play neutralized the threat. By GARY ROLLINS Battalion Sports Editor The storm clouds gathered, the barometer dropped, the winds in creased, but the lightning never struck in Rice Stadium Saturday as the Aggie hurricane failed to materialize as predicted. And with the 7-6 loss to Rice, the words “would have” wore re placed by the old stand-by “if.” The Cadet offense was like a car without a clutch, and failed to move consistently. Their passing attack backfired, as the alert Owl defense snatched three aerials to stymie the Farmers’ attack. The running game ground agonizingly to a halt as the Rice line met the national champions toe-to-toe. Statistically, the Farmers beat the Houston crew, but the story was told on the scoreboards at either end of the massive stadium —Rice had upset the number one team in the nation by one gigantic point. Coach Bear Bryant’s squad of Aggies had plenty of company, however, as three other teams in the nation’s elite top ten also turn ed up on the short end of the score. The most prominent of all was the snapping of the 47-game win ning streak up in Norman, Okla. The Sooners were rudely severed from their pride, their winning- streak—and their national ranking by a brash company of Fighting Irish. Iowa and Tennessee receiv ed similar setbacks.

Texas Christian and Baylor The Cadets must defeat the Uni versity of Texas to share in the co-championship—and to receive a bowl bid. For the first straight week in a row, the Texas Aggies moved into fourth place in the national ratings after inhabiting the top spot fdr three consecutive weeks—a feat ac complished only by Michigan State and Oklahoma in the past two years. The Spartans of Michigan State returned to the top team throrie again, with Auburn advancing to second. In third place is the Ohio State Buckeyes. Mississippi trails the Aggies, and Bud Wilkinson’s Sooners are way-down in sixth place. Bryant summed-up the game in the most appropriate way, “They ALABAMA STRONG AT ENDS UNIVERSITY, Ala.

All are juniors. whipped us. Rice out-meaned us, out-toughed and out-everythinged us.” The movies of the game reveal ed the second unit performed more creditably than the first, with soph fullback Gordon LeBoeuf, guard Allen Goehring, tackle A. L. Simmons and guard Jim Stanley rating high on the celluloid tabu lations. The only injury suffered by the Aggies was to Carl Luna, a sopho more guard from Garland who was removed with an ankle injury. With an off-Saturday facing them, the Farmers took a holiday Monday, but will get down to ser ious business Tuesday as they be gin preparations for the Longhorn game on Turkey Day. “We’re going- to try and get in some buttin’ this week,” said the Aggie mentor. “We’ve done very little in practice and games all sea son.” The Aggie Fish wreaked revenge on the devil-may-care Owlets by trouncing them soundly, 14-0. Quarterback Jim Harrison flipped a 42-yard pass to halfback Jack Estes with 11:05 remaining- in the first half. John Few converted. Nine plays later, Fish Estes rip ped over the double stripe again. This touchdown drive came on an intercepted Owlet pass on the Rice 45 by John Few. The Midlothian halfback snared Rice’s Alvin Hart man’s pass on the 45 and raced 18 yards to the 27. Two runs by Few brought the pigskin to the 10. Three quick plays later, Estes scored again with Houstonian. Randy Sims adding the extra point. While the Aggies recall the numerous verses of Casey At The Bat, the Rice Owls dream of Cot ton on New Years Day—but fur ther visions of Jim Shofner and Doyle Traylor no doubt disturb them.
