Powerful Aggie Ground Game Subdues Bears
... fullback Caffey barrels for long gainer through tackle
A&M May Be Only Threat
For Stampeding Longhorns
Special To The Battalion
Statistics told widely divergent
stories in the Southwest Confer
ence last week as downtrodden
teams of a year ago (A&M and
SMU) shared the limelight with
the league’s most consistent win
ners (Texas and Arkansas) of re
cent seasons.
Torrid Texas moved on at a
record total-offense pace as it
stretched its league leadership
while Texas A&M and Arkansas
rebounded from defeats with
awesome statistics, both offens
ively and defensively. Southern
Methodist, which shared Satur
day’s spotlight, achieved victory
in a different way, however, and
Texas Tech, the vicitim, is ready
to argue that figures do lie.
The upstart Red K&iders, giant-
killers of TCU and Baylor on suc
cessive week-ends, dominated the
statistics chart in the struggle
with SMU, but they lacJced punch
when the goal line beckoned.
Hobbled for 55 minutes, the Mus
tangs gained almost half of their
yardage in the final five minutes
and salvaged an 8-7 victory with
the season’s first major exploita
tion of the two-point conversion.
Although their offensive statis
tics and record are not highly im
pressive, the Mustangs point with
pride to a defense that had yielded
ONLY ONE second-half touch
down in five games.
In scoring a sixth straight vic-
tory and upping its total offense
per game to 438.7 yards per game,
the Longhorns matched their first
down production of the entire 1960
campaign (132). Their total of
fense (2,632 yards) is 112 yards
more than they gained in ten
games a year ago and their per-
game average is well ahead of. the
SWC record of 386.5 set by the
1952 Longhorns that featured an
all-SWC backfield.
Only Baylor has gained more
yardage overhead than Texas this
year as the Longhoims have sur
passed any previous season total
during Darrell Royal’s tutelage.
Texas has scored the most touch
downs (8) by passing.
A&M, probably more menacing
than any rival remaining on Tex
as’ schedule, combined a well-bal
anced offense with a stubborn de
fense in keeping its title hopes
alive. The whitewash was the
first applied to Baylor since 1959
and the three pass interceptions
by the Aggies ran their six-game
total to 13, five more than they
picked off all last season.
The Aggies have almost doubled
their point production of last year
(144 to 73) and in three confer
ence games they have scored two
more than they totaled in all ten
games a year ago.
Tech hit 9 of its 11 passes
against SMU and had a total of
fense of 337 but frustration at the
SMU goal, including two misfires
on field goals, left the Raiders
vulnerable for the SMU comeback

Aggies Crush Bears, 23 - 0
While Bowl Scouts Watch
By LARRY SMITH
Battalion Sports Editor
Coach Jim Myers’ revamped Ag
gies displayed a smooth offense
and a solid defense in crushing the
Baylor Bears, 23-0, Saturday on
Kyle Field before 29,000 fans.
Representatives of the Bluebon
net and Gator Bowls, scouting for
possible post-season participants,
were treated to the Aggies’ finest
game of the season, and Baylor’s
poorest.
In holding the Bears scoreless
for the first time since 1959 (20
games ago), the Cadets fulfilled
their pre-season ratings by the
sports writers. Of the five teams
picked as having a chance of tak
ing the SWC title, only A&M is
given a chance to beat the ram
paging Texas ’Horns.
John Erickson, the junior col
lege transfer, started his first
game and responded with a bx*il-
liant performance. He completed
5 of 6 passes for 47 yards and
tacked on 14 yards on five carries.
Erickson was the man-under on
both the first and second units.
Ags Were ‘Hot’
While the Aggies were so “hot,”
the Bruins were “ice cold.” Bobby
Ply, Baylor’s star quarterback, had
a terrible day as he completed
only 3 of 19 passes. The main
reason for his bad day was the
great rushing put on by the Ag
linemen and the blanket coverage
of the Bear receivers.
The Bears had a miserable day
on the ground, too, as they gained
only 70 yards. They only made
three first downs the first half
and nine all day. The Ags made
17 first downs. The closest Bay
lor came to the Aggie goal-line
was the A&M 29.
It was a team effort for the
Aggies, and the line rushed the
passer the best they have all year,
according to Myers.
“We figured our offensive game
was well balanced enough that
Baylor would have to defense us
to the outside and leave the mid
dle ‘open;’ or strengthen down the
middle and give us the outside
They chose to do the former. They
did contain our halfbacks but that
made the situation good for our
fullbacks who picked up 130 of
our 203 yai'ds gained rushing,”
said Myers.
Bull Fumble
It just wasn’t Baylor’s day as
Ronnie Bull fumbled on the sec
ond play of the game when he was
hit hard by Sam Byer and Jerry
Hopkins recovered on the Bear 27.
After making a first down, the
Ags stalled and Daryle Keeling-
kicked a 29-yard field goal. The
Ags led 3-0 with 11:34 left in the
first quarter.
John Keller intercepted a Ronnie
Stanley pass late in the first pe
riod and returned it to the A&M
41. Eight plays later Erickson
sneaked across for the TD. His
pass to Travis Reagan for the
extra point was out of the end
zone and no good. With 16 sec
onds to go in the initial period,
the Aggies led 9-0 and it was all
over for the Bears.
In the third quarter, the Cadets
held the Bears after their most
serious threat, and with Erickson
at the controls, the Cadets
marched 68 yards in 15 plays for
the touchdown. The scoring play
Intramurals
Two teams played back and
fourth between the 40-yard lines
last Friday until Sqd. 12 finally
pushed the ball into G-3’s terri
tory to win by a single penetra
tion in a 0-0 game.
Dale Barber completed a touch
down pass to Butch Smith for
Sqd. 4’s only tally in a 6-0 game
over Maroon Band. Boyd Aring-
dale of the Band stood out on de
fense. He broke up two of the
Sqd. 4 drives with an interception
and a goal line stop.
In other games played Friday
afternoon C-l edged E-l, 10-6;
C-2 nipped Sqd. 13, 6-0; it was
B-2 over D-l, 22-0 and Sqd. 5
overran the White Band 31-0.

FIRED—SIX WATCHDOGS
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. CP>—May
be watchdogs are a big help, but—
Birmingham police reported that
a theif apparently opened a gate

Co. here, stood back and waited
until the six watchdogs wandered
out, and then entered and crated
off an assortment of merchandise.
was a four-yard pass from Erick
son to Bobby Huntington. Jim
Linnstaedter passed to Reagan for
the two-point conversion.
In the final period, with only
3:12 left in the game, Byer blasted
over from two yards out for the
Ags’ final score. The try for the
extra point was no good.
Caffey Led In Rushing
Lee Roy Caffey, the bruising
fullback from Thorndale, led the
Aggie ball carriers in rushing
with 62 yards in 15 carries. Soph
omore Jerry Rogers, who banged
through gaping holes in the Bear
line, picked up 42 yards on seven
carries. Byer earned nine times
for 26 yards.
The Aggie line out-fought the
Bear line to the utmost with
Wayne Freiling, Wayland Sim
mons, Russell Hill, George Hogan
and Keith Huggins leading th e
way.
The Ags have a 3-2-1 record lot
the season and a 2-1 mark in
SWC play. They will meet one
of the toughest opponents tliij
weekend in the Ozarks—the Ar
kansas Razorbacks.
