Cadets Trample Red Raiders, 38-7 By LARRY SMITH Battalion Sports Editor New stars—the kind that Aggie coaches and fans love to see— sprouted up all over the place last Saturday night in Jones Stadium as the Aggies broke the drouth with a downfall of points and humbled the lowly Texas Tech Red Raiders, 38-7. History was in the making as it was the first Cadet conference triumph in 15 games and kept the Ags unbeaten in four appearances in Lubbock. The victory over the Raiders was the first league win since they defeated Rice, 28-21, in 1958. A large crowd—with a bunch of Panhandle 'Aggies—was on hand to cheer their favorite team on to one of the sweetest victories in what seems like a decade. It also marked the first time the Aggies have scored over 34 points in a game since downing the Red Raiders, 40-7, in 1955.. Some of the new stars shone as brilliantly as the mid-day sun and were twice as hot. They were, to name just a few—Ronnie Brice, Phil Peter, Mike Clark, Jer ry Pizzatola. Along with the new starlets, the old veterans contin ued to play their inspiring ag gressive-type football that has won them so much respect in past weeks. Jerry Jenkins, starting center and one of the veterans, had this to say about the victory, “Boy, it really did taste good and we liked it. We’re going to sample that taste many more times before this season is over with.” One of the happiest men after the game was, of course. Coach Jim Myers, who simply said, “It is just the sweetest victory I’ve ever had.” He continued to praise the performances of quarterbacks John Erickson and. Ronnie Brice. Another thing that boasted about the Aggie win was the tremendous passing attack staged by the quar tet of Jim Keller, Erickson, Brice and Jim Linnstaedter who com pleted 12 out of 15 attempts. Not a single incomplete pass was thrown by the Aggies in the sec ond half. Brice helped this by completing 5 out of 5 for two touchdowns. The Red Raiders matched the Cadets in rushing with their big fullback, Coolidge Hunt, but they couldn’t complete a pass against the “wide-awake” Aggies until the fourth quarter. In fact, going into the game, the Ags were num ber five in the nation in pass de fense—something they have been lacking in past seasons. After each team exchanged two punts early in the first quarter, the Aggies started in earnest for the Raider goal line and never quit until they crossed it. Jim Murphy slashed over right tackle for the TI> and Daryle Keeling booted the first of his five extra points. The big play in this drive was a 46-yard pass and run from Erickson to Linnstaedter. From then on until the end, the Cadets were in complete control of the contest. Travis Reagan, a sophomore who is improving with each game, cut ai-ound left end for seven yards and the sec ond score. With 4:53 left in the first half, Mike Clark blasted a 36-yard field goal through the uprights and the Ags went to the dressing room at half time with a comfortable 17-0 lead. The third period was scoreless even though Tech threatened to score only to fumble into the end zone. Bob Caskey was oh the spot for the recovery. Brice and Co. took over in the fourth quarter and racked up three more TD’s while Tech was scoring their first of the long night (long for them). All of the Cadets’ final quarter scores were on passes. Caskey took one from Brice from nine yards out. Linn staedter passed to Franklin Fisher for 12 yards and another tally. Phil Peter latched onto a Brice pass with only 1:01 left in the game and carried eight yards for the final score. The entire play covered 38 yards and was prob ably the most beautiful of the night.
