The Rice Stadium jinx that
seems to await A&M teams every
year was there again Saturday as
the Cadets could manage but one
field goal against the passing and
kicking of a well-healed Randy
Kerbow and dropped their fourth
straight Owl clash, 23-3.
There were quite a few lads who
caused the Ags misery besides
Kerbow. A guy named Ronnie Hat
field drew as much praise from his
Rice teammates as did Kei’bow.
He had a pair of punt returns, 39
and 30 yards respectively, that
robbed the Ags of vital field posi
tion in the second and third quar
ters.
THE 30-YARDER set up the
final Owl TD that put them too
far ahead to be caught up with.
And with the final minute of the
game ticking away, Hatfield inter
cepted a Jim Keller pass in the end
zone to squelch the Ags r last
chance for a touchdown.
Them thar Hatfield has been poi
son to A&M this season. Arkansas
had a Ken aHtfield that returned
three Farmer punts to keep the Ags
backed against their goal through
out the second half of that contest.
Rice grabbed the first lead in
the game, on a field goal by Ker
bow from the 26. After the ball
had changed hands three more
times, Keller handed the ball to
Eddie VanDyke on the A&M 38 and
the San Antonio senior sprinted 39
yards over right tackle to the Owl
23.
The drive bogged down there and
Mike Clark had to kick a 38-yard
three pointer into a seven mph
wind to tie it up late in the first
quarter. It was Clark’s sixth of the
season, which gave him a tie for
the season record set by Rice’s
Butch Blume last year.
Just as the second period began
White team quarterback James
Willenborg was hit by Rice end
John Sylvester and fumbled. Owl
guard John Nichols picked up his
first fumble of the afternoon.
BEHIND THE passing of Ker
bow to Sylvester and Gene Raesz,
the Owls drove 50 yards in 13 plays
for a touchdown. Fullback Paul
Piper set it up with a 12-yard gain
up the middle to the one and Ker
bow carried over on a sneak.
Late in the half the Ags sought
to get started again, but this time
third-teamer John Sparling fum
bled and Nichols came up with it
again. A&M held, forced a punt out
of bounds and then lost the ball
deep in their own territory again
on a Ronnie Brice to Raesz fum
ble.
Still stubborn on the next play,
the Ags took over again when
Ken Kipp picked off one of Ker-
bow’s aerials and ran it back 14
to the Ag 26.
As quick as it started, this A&M
drive bogged down and they punt
ed out to the Rice 31. Piper got
five up the middle and, with one
second left in the half, Kerbow
threw a bulls-eye to end Jerry

Kelley for a 64-yard score. The
PAT attempt went wide to the
left and it was 16-3 at the half.
Aftei* the Aggie band gave its
finest performance of the season,
Rice couldn’t move the ball on one
set of downs and neither could the
Cadets. The ensuing punt was a
beauty, and deep man Hatfield was
smothered where he caught it.
BUT THE PLAY was nullified
and when Keller punted a second
time for 44 yards, Hatfield ran
it back 30 to the Ag 25. On first
down, Kerbow threw to Sylvester
for the last points of the game.
Just as the Farmers had anoth
er drive started, Willenborg threw
for John Brotherton on the tackle-
eligible pass but Rice’s Russell
Wayt picked it off to kill the bid.
Second team quarterback Walter
McReynolds was running the Owls
then and he put them on the A&M
26 with a 14-yard pass to Kel
ley. On the next play he tried for
Wayt but linebacking Jerry Hop
kins made a great interception for
the Cadets.
With six minutes left in the
final period Sparling and the of
fensive specialists went into busi
ness on the A&M 20. Budgie Ford
picked up 10 yards on a crucial
third down and then Jim Linnsta-
edter took a pitchout and raced
59 yards down the west sideline to
the Rice 12. The drive was killed
there when Ken McLean caught
one out of bounds on fourth down.
At this point the Farmers drew
two unsportsmanlike conduct pen
alties and Rice was out of thp hole
at its 47. But Lee Roy Caffey
picked up a Kerbow fumble with
a little over two minutes left and
the Aggies had another chance.
On passes to Linnstaeder, Caf
fey and McLean, Willenborg and
Keller took the Cadets back down
to the Rice 10. With only seconds
left, however, Hatfield intercepted
a Keller to McLean attempt in the
end zone.

He’s freshman Robert G. Lee,

“He has a very strong leg.”

Foldberg Praises Owls,
Lists Reasons For Defeat
The A&M dressing room beneath
Rice Stadium was a pretty dismal
place Saturday, and, as might be
expected, that of the Rice Owls
was the opposite. Aggie head
coach Hank Foldberg had nothing
but praise for Jess Neely’s squad
and was disappointed in the per
formance of the hapless Cadets.
Foldberg listed several reasons
why the Ags lost a 23-3 SWC de
cision in the chilly, soggy weather
that invariably shows up for the
annual A&M-Rice clash. Not nec-
essarly in this order, he pointed
out:
1. The “great” passing of Rice
quarterback Randy Kerbow. -2. The
receiving of Owl ends and backs.
3. The ability of the Rice line to
hold out rushers. 4. Cadets mis
fires, such as pass interceptions
and fumbles which prevented the
Ags from getting good field posi
tion most of the afternoon.
SAID FOLDBERG, “It was evi
dent that Rice was going to make
it an aerial game—they came out
passing from the start. We were
able to stop their passing attack
early but they stayed with it and
Kerbow started connecting.”
“Rice narrowed the splits be
tween the linemen for this game
and those big-shouldered Owls just
kept us from getting to the passer.
In the scouting films, the Owls had
lined up with much wider splits.”
Foldberg was more than favor
ably impressed with Kerbow.
“Kerbow hit more accurately
than any passer we have faced all
season. We had confidence in our
pass defense all season, but when
a boy like this fellow pinpoints
them the way he does, there is not
much you can do—except rush the
passer and we couldn’t do that ef
fectively.
“We did so many things funda
mentally wrong today,” the Aggie
mentor said. “We gave up the ball
several times which nipped budding
drives and covered two of our kicks
poorly.”
He said that if there was a turn-
. *?P-' ‘ •
mg point in the game it probably
came early in the third quarter
when quarterback Jim Keller’s
punt was nullified and the Ags
were penalized five yards for in
motion. Keller had kicked out to
midfield but his second punt with
the ball on the Aggie 11 covered
44 yards and Rice’s Ronnie Hat
field returned it 30 yards to the
A&M 25.
On the next play Kerbow hit
end John Sylvester with a 25-yard
pass for the TD that put Rice
ahead 23-3.
KELLER HAD great praise for
the Owl linebackers (Malcolm
Walker, Dan Malin and Paul Pi
per). “Every time I looked up it
seemed that those guys were in my
face. They played great football.”
The Aggie captain, center Jerry
Hopkins, commented, “We just
couldn’t put enough pressure on
the passer and that was the differ
ence. Rice had wonderful protec
tion and Kerbow had a great day
throwing.”
Over in the Owl dressing room
Neely was beaming. “We were
pleased with the way our boys
played. I was surprised we were
able to scorg as much as we did.
“We knew they would be hard
to run on, and I imagine the statis
tics will show that. They have
a good, strong team and since we
figured they would be tough to run
on we worked a lot on our passing.
Overall, I thought our linemen did
a pretty good job. They gave the
passer good protection; it did break
down a time -or two but not very
much.”
SAID NEELY, “Yes, Randy
(Kerbow) had a real good day;
he threw well.” When asked about
the variety of pass patterns and
throwing to different spots he of
fered, “We were just trying to
find out how they were covering so
we could adjust to it. Our boys
who are pass receivers maneuver
real well and we wanted to see if
we could get them open.”
On Hatfield: “Yes, he had a fine
day. He had that pass intercep
tion (in the end zone with about
one minute left as the Ags made
a scoring bid) and made a couple
of good punt returns. He’s not
a bad boy.”
Two Owl linemen had praise for
the Ags. Guard Johnny Nichols
said, “The Aggie hit real good.
That (Ray) Kubala I thought was
tougher to handle than any of
them. He’s pretty rugged.”
Said tackle John Mims, “The Ag
gies had a good, tough team.
