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.

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

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

ther visions of Jim Shofner and
Doyle Traylor no doubt disturb
them.
