Saturday’s 14-14 tie with the Red Raiders was the first time since 1957 that the Cadets weren’t on the bottom end of the score. Although the Saturday night setting was typical of many week ends on the Aggie campus, it was by no means ideal for history- making, football or much of any thing as the rain poured in the 67-degree weather. 13,000 Fans However, the 13,000 faithful fans who viewed the A&M-Tech clash didn’t come out on the short end of an exciting evening. Texas Tech refused to believe the pre-game predictions that they were the underdogs and the first proof of this came as they drove to a first quarter touchdown resulting from an Aggie fumble on the nine-yard line. Jere Mohon was the man who pounced on the Powell Berry fumble that led to a score three plays later by. Dick Poison from four yards out. The extra point try was wide which left the score 6-0. The Aggies evened the score, plus a one-point lead in the latter part. of the third quarter as Sam Byer carried five straight times from the 15-yard line. Randy Sims’ sure-fire foot provided the 7-6 margin. Tech’s equalizer came later in the third quarter as the Cadet safety man w r as sucked out of position on a 38-yard pass play from Johnny Lovelace to Jay By rum. Tech’s only choice was to try for the two points, which they Lee Roy’s Ready Tech’s sophomore quarterback, Johnny and the Aggies fight to a 14-14 tie. Moving Lovelace, runs for a short gain in Saturday in for the kill is Lee Roy Caffey (34), Aggie night’s game which saw the Red Raiders fullback. Giddings Edges Consolidated In Hard - Fought Game, 14-8 Eight of Top Ten Schoolboy Grid Teams Escape Defeat By RUSSELL BROWN Battalion Sports Writer The Giddings Buffs rose to the occasion and toppled the A&M Consolidated Tigers, 14-8 Friday night in Giddings before a crowd of 2,000. The win was the 20-AA Buffs’ third in four starts including their second win against one defeat against District 19-AA foes. The Bengals, picked to cop the 19-AA crown in pre-season balloting, fell to their third loss in four outings. The larger Tigers contained the Buffs in their own own territory most of the night, yielding only 130 yards rushing and 17 yards passing to the hosts, but two breaks and the red flag, 100 yards worth, stymied the Maroon and White. While the defense was tightening, the Bengal offense moved the pigskin for 188 yards on the ground and 25 in the air, out-first-downing the Buffs 12-6. The first of the breaks came for the Buffs in the first quarter with only 50 seconds ticked off on the clock. Tiger quarterback Condy Pugh attempted a flat pass, but James Ponfick was there to swipe the toss and race 55 yards behind key blocking for the initial marker. Roy Schulz attempted the two-point conversion but failed, setting .the count at 6-0 early in the tilt. The Tigers came back undaunted with a ground attack that carried them 25 yards in seven plays be fore junior quarterback Russell Welch hit junior end Larry Ran dolph with a 25-yard pass to the Giddings six. Welch and Pugh then lugged it in, with Welch diving the final half-yard for the equalizer. Welch then ran the op tion to the right and plunged for the two points, giving the Bengals an 8-6 lead.

One or Two Points? “It was my decision to kick after our 2nd touchdown because we had 14 minutes and the wind behind our backs,” was Coach Jim Myers’ reply after the Cadets were knocking on the doorsteps of the winning column with a score resulting from a 23-yard pass connection from Daryl Keel ing to Sims. Sims converted for a tie. There were varying opinions on Coach Myers’ decision on whether to settle for a tie or try for the win. Myers was told by one per son, “I don’t know whether to congratulate you or sympathize with you,” and the Aggie mentor replied, “Don’t congratulate me, we didn’t win.” FINAL TEAM STATISTICS First downs Rushing yardage Aggies 13 207 Tech 9 159 Passing yardage Total yardage Attempted passes Completed passes Punting average Fumbles 32 77 239 236 3 4 2 2 42 34 4 2 Fumbles lost 2 2 Yards penalized 15 10 A&M 0 0 7 7 14 Tech 6 0 8 0 14 Craig, Sims Lead Two Slat Columns The Aggies’ Babe Craig is lead ing the Southwest, Conference in punting with a 38.8 average and teammate Randy Sims is leading in punt .returns with a 21-yard average on five runbacks.

He found it when he joined Pacific Telephone in San Francisco, Here’s how Wes tells it: “I remember one of my first jobs. The boss said, ‘Wes, I want you to work out a plan showing where we’ll need new field operating centers to keep up with Northern California’s growth over the next 10 years.’ I didn’t know whether I was more happy or scared.” Wes didn’t tell us (but his boss did) that he handled the report like a pro. And today, as a division supervisor, he’s holding down a key telephone job. Wes Roberts’ story is not unique in the Bell Telephone Companies. The telephone business is growing fast-and men are needed who can grow just as fast. Wes can tell you: “We get good training. But no one nurses you along. We hire managers —not errand boys.
