Saturday’s victory gave the Shorthorns their second straight Southwest Conference freshman championship and boasted their winning streak to five over the Ag gie Fish. Joe DeLorenzo set up the Short horns’ score as he recovered the Fish’s Tommy Janik’s fumble. El liott Romero, and Ray Poage fig ured heavily in the remaining yard age to the goal line before Romero plunged over from three yards out. Alton Rhoden kicked a low but good extra point to put Texas out front. Although the Shorthorns were on the long end of the score, the ing interception of Ronnie Brice’s Fish didn’t lie down and die, but played in the Texas end of the field much of the afternoon. A couple of pass interceptions and strong defense preserved the Shorthorns’ lead. The Aggies had moved into scor ing position on Texas’ 37, but there is where their hopes of scor ing fell as Don Elrod made a leap- Sanders Ags’ Unsung Hero; Beats Career Jinx This Year Texas A&M’s unsung halfback, Robert Sanders, gets his -last chance for glory next Thursday when his Aggies take on the Uni versity of Texas on Kyle Field. One of 13 seniors who wind up their careers against the Long horns, Sanders has been the most consistent performer on an Aggie club that won big upsets early in the year, then lost heart-breakers in Southwest conference play. Sanders Jinxed Sanders has been jinxed ever since he arrived on the A&M cam pus as a raw freshman from Sea- drift, Texas. As a sophomore in 1957 he played behind three of A&M great est backs—John Crow, Bobby Con rad and Loyd Taylor. Still he played enough to letter even though a summer bicycle accident almost ended his playing career. Sanders checked in for his soph season with a badly torn leg.

His senior season this year found him hale and hearty and he quickly won a first-string right halfback berth and he’s been there all year although A&M coaches wonder how he keeps from being hurt the “way he goes all-out every play.” Myers Lauds Aggie “Sanders is a fine, steady play er,” Coach Jim Myers says of the 5-10, 175-pounder. “He’s also one of our best blockers.” Assistant Coach Willie Zapalac says Robert “doesn’t have the bodv to take all the punishment hut he’s a good one—gives you 150% ef fort every day.” Sanders’ best game he figures was the Rice game in Houston two weeks ago when he intercented a pass on the Aggie 5-yard line to stop the Owls’ only drive past the 50. A punt return later in the game brought Rice from behind to win, 7-2. Favorite Game Michigan State But his favorite game was “our 9-7 win over Michigan State.” Al though Sanders insists it was an all-out team effort that won the Spartan game at East Lansing, he still played 50 minutes of good hall. And his most memorable game has to be that 7-0 Rice game in Houston two years ago when the Owls knocked the Aggies out of the top position in the nation. Although he prefers defense to offense he gives you a good effort both ways and is the No. 2 bal 1 carrier on the A&M team with a 4.3 yards per carry average. He’s also the best safety man on punts and kickoff returns. He’s averaged 23.5 yards per return in kickoffs. Born In Seadrift Robert was born in Seadrift, a small resort town located on the San Antonio Bay 30 miles below Victoria. But he played high school hall at Port Lavaca “be cause we had no school at Sea drift.” His brother, Leslie, also played high school ball but now spends his time studying electrical engineer ing at Texas. Robert doesn’t care about the headlines and glory as long as he’s playing his best. pass. Again as. the fourth ouarter be gan the Fish threatened score, but were held, the oue-vard line by a massive Texas defense. A punt that netted the Short horns only five years set the Ag- vies in scoring nnsition for the third time during the contest. The ball was on the 18-vard line and after a quick first down the Fish had first down and goal to go. Four tries failed to produce those valuable six yards for a score and the ball went over to the Short- korns. Texas didn’t care to keen the hall so close to the goal line and auick kicked out and once again the Fish took to the air only to have a pass intercepted on the 20- yard line. Misfortune must have been play ing on the Aggie team Saturday because in the closing minutes they would have had another crack at six points as the Shorthorns were forced to punt. John Kent took the nunt on his own 21, but just couldn’t hold on to the ball long enough before a Shorthorn was hearing down on him to re cover the hall with only seconds left. Shorthorn fullback, Pat Culpep- ner, was leading ground gainer for the game with 51 yards on 12 car ries. Janek was ton man for the Ag gies with 30 yards rushing. He also kept the Fish in the game wi+h his 4°.9 nunting average. P.onnie Brice, running and pass ing from the single wing and T completed seven of 13 passes for f>2 yards. All of his passes were completed in the second half. Kenneth Kino, who the fans from Aggieland hadn’t seen much of this season, came alive and be came a constant thorn in the Shorthorn offense. He repeatedly came crashing in from his end po sition to launch bone-crushing tackles on the Shorthorn backs. Other defensive standouts were Jerry Hopkins, James Walton, Keith Huggins and Lee Roy Caf- fey who held the Shorthorn offense to 58 yards and two first downs in the second half.
