SMU’s Spread
Quarter TDs
The Agg-ies were ready for
SMU last Saturday and after be
ing shocked by the Mustangs’
spread formation in the second
and third quarters, they won the
contest going away.
With the score tied 12-12 going
into the fourth quarter, the Ag
gies tallied twice in the final pe
riod to win, 25-12.
It was the tremendous defense
put up by the linemen and line
backers that paused so much
trouble in the SMU backfield.
The likes of Wayne Freiling,
Keith Huggins, Bull Phillips and
Buddy Filers were constantly foil
ing the Ponies’ playmaking.
Coach Jim Myers was Avell
pleased with the linebacking of
his three outstanding fullbacks—
Lee Roy Caffey, Sam Byer and
Jerry Rogers—and center Jerry
Hopkins.
‘Most Aggressive Game’
“These four men performed well
at their position. The team as
a whole played its most aggres
sive game of the season against
the Mustangs,” Myers said.
With the Aggies “red-dogging”
for the first time this fall, they I
held the Ponies to a minus eight
yards rushing in the first quar
ter before SMU went to the
spread. Jerry Rhome, the SMU
sophomore passer, completed 17
out of 26 attempts for 141 yards
and two touchdowns. Most of
these completions were from the
spread for eight to ten yards.
The three Ag quarterbacks—
John Erickson, Jim Keller and
Ronnie Brice—played great games.
Erickson with his leadership and
passing, Keller with his ball
hawking defense and Brice with
his break-away runs.
Even though SMU’s coach Bill
Meek was hanged in effigy after
the game in Dallas, the Mustangs
played one of their best games
of the year. From the viewpoint
of many Aggie fans, the game
officials helped the Ponies as
much as they could.
A pass interference (that was
never called) and a Mustang
touchdown were questioned a bit
by the A&M backers.
Game of Mistakes
For about the first three quar
ters it was a game of mistakes—

dropped punts and blocked punts.
The Mustangs took the! opening
kickoff, ran four plays and punted
to the A&M 26. Travis Reagan,
the speedy halfback from Wichita
Falls, carried the iprst time
around left end and almost broke
away. The next play Erickson
passed 56 yards to Raagan to the
SMU 9. This was the season
high for an A&M pa,ss and run.
The Aggies’ drive bogged down
and Daryle Keeling; missed his
first field goal try this fall.
On their third possession, the
Aggies moved 77 yards in nine
plays for the touchdown. The big
play in the march was a 27-yard
pass from Erickson to Reagan.
Sam Byer Scored
Sam Byer smashed over from
the one-yard line on his ^fourth
consecutive carry from the seven.
Keeling missed the try for extra
point.
Early in the second period,
SMU’s Rhome tried to punt from
his own 20, but Pat Latham
crashed through to block the kick.
Three plays later, George Hargett
blasted over right tackle for the
TD. Brice’s pass to Ronnie Led
better was incomplete.
Moving from the spread, which
was a headache to the Aggies, the
Mustangs went 78 yards in 13
plays following the kickoff after
the Ags’ second touchdown.
The third quarter was almost
all SMU as they had the ball all
but eight plays. They moved 88
yards in 18 plays to tie the game.
Caffey blocked the conversion at
tempt.
Hargett put the Ags back into
business with about ten minutes
remaining in the game as he re
turned a Pony punt 25 yards to
the SMU 33. ,With Bob Caskey
carrying and receiving, the Ags
went 33 yards in eight plays for
the go-ahead touchdown. Caskey
drove over from the two for the
tally. The PAT was no good.
After SMU made one first down
in their attempt to catch up> they
lost the ball on downs at the SMU
39.
Brice Carries Four Straight Times
Brice came in to quarterback for
the Aggies and it only took him
four plays to score. On the first
play he went 24 yards, then he
carried for six, then eight and
finally one yard for the touch
down. Brice fan his best since the
Rice game last year when he
sparked the Ags to a near upset.
It was a close game until the
Aggies’ depth and superior line
play whipped down the heavier
SMU team.
DODGERS MISSED FREESE
Los Angeles (A*)—Gene Frfeese,
Cincinnati third baseman, might
have been a Dodger had general
manager Buzzie Bavasi taken the
advice of Fred Hutchison, manager
of the Reds.
“When I left the Cardinals,
Freese was still there,” recalls
Hutchison. “I advised Bavasi to
grab him. ‘Freese will wear out
that left field screen,’ I told him.”
This year Freese has cx*acked
eight homefs in Los Angeles,
seven over the left field screen.
