Not only did the Aggies lose the game, 2,')-0, but they lost the services of Head Coach Jim Myers. Texas, the No. 1 team in the nation before their loss to TCU the week before, proved too much for the scrappy Cadets especially in the second half. The ’Horns ran two plays at the beginning of the third period and scored two touchdowns. At the half, the Ags were only trailing 6-0 with all Texas’ points being on field goals from the toe of Eldon Moritz. Goal Line Stand In the second quarter, the Ag gies made a tremendous goal line stand and there were strains of another defeat in the air, but like the champions that they are, the Steers came back and won the Southwest Conference title plus a trip to the Cotton Bowl. It was the All-America Jimmy Saxton who broke the backs of the gallant Ags, but this time his role was passer instead of runner. He threw 46 yards to Jack Collins the first time UT got the ball in the third quarter and the results were ■ six points. Saxton’s role was an unfamiliar one as it was his first pass of the season. Pass interceptions and Pat Cul pepper were the key to Texas’ victory. Culpepper stole the first Ag aerial to go astray and it set up the Longhorns’ first field goal. Then in the fatal third quarter, it was an interception by Jerry Cook that set up Texas’ third score. Culpepper, a “wild card” substitute, was a constant pain to A&M as he made numerous crucial tackles from his linebacking posi tion. Last Collegiate Game In their last collegiate game of their careers, the Aggie seniors played to the ultimate but again Texas Frosli Trim Aggie Fish, 8-0 Shorthorn Halfback Ernie Koy Jr. smashed four yards for a first- quarter touchdown to lead his teammates to an 8-0 rain-soaked victory over the Fish in Austin last Wednesday. The win, sixth straight for the Texas Shorthorns over A&M, gave them a 4-1 record. Their only loss came at the hands of the SMU Colts, 16-15. The Fish fin ished the season with a 2-3 rec- oz’d, losing two and then winning two before the finale with the Texas Frosh. Texas scored the first time it got the ball, driving 60 yards in TRIANGLE RESTAURANT Lunch and Dinner Specials TUESDAY Deep Fried Gulf Trout w/Tartar Sauce 754 Grilled Pork Chop 954 Chicken Fried Steak w/Mushroom Gravy 95^ Southern Fried Chicken w/Honey Butter 95^ (Served w/two vegetables, salad, hot rolls, coffee or tea) WEDNESDAY Deep Fried Flounder w/Tartar Sauce 754 Salisbury Steak w/Mushroom Gravy .... 954 Chop Suey w/Beef over Chow Mein Noodles 85$ Southern Fried Chicken w/Honey Butter 95$ (Served w/two vegetables, salad, hot rolls, coffee or tea) HOURS 11:00 A.

Wingback Wayne Bates broke loose on a double reverse for 44 yards on the third play of the game. On the next play Koy ripped into the end zone for the game’s only score. A third-quarter penalty erased what could have been a 42-yard touchdown run by Koy. The Shorthorns twice drove to the Fish five-yard line and once to the 14, but could capitalize on none of the penetrations. The Fish could never get mov ing. They never moved inside the Texas 20 and came no closer than the Texas 39 in the second half. Ken MeLean paced the ineffective Fish with 23 yards on eight car ries. The Fish managed only 103 yards rushing.

The Aggies only threatened twice—once being a field goal at tempt by Mike Clark in the second period and the other being a drive to the Texas seven-yard line in the third period which ended in a fumble. The bright spots for the Aggies were Babe Craig, who got off his longest punt of the year (60 yards), and the starring defensive play of Lee Roy Caffey, Keith Huggins, Wayne Freiling and Wayland Simmons. Thus ends the 1961 football sea son for the Aggies who finished with a 4-5-1 and fourth position in the SWC. Again the popular Agg-ie cry of “wait ’til next year” was heard after the TU game and that’s what we’ll do. Applying Pressure To No Avail Bobby Huntington (81) and Jerry Hopkins 46-yard TD pass to jack Collins for (50) put intense pressure on Texas’ Jimmy ‘Horns’ first touchdown.
