Ad) Longhorns No. 1 Again By The Associated Press The 1964 college football season, off to a rather amazing start, al ready has made the experts sec ond guess themselves. Mississippi was the preseason choice of the sports writers and broadcasters who vote in The As sociated Press ranking polls, based on early information that Ole Miss still had plenty of power and that Texas, the 1963 national champion, had lost some of its strength. After two weeks of upset-filled competition, the same voters re turned Texas to the No. 1 spot Monday in the first weekly poll of the regular season while Missis sippi was nowhere to be seen. Texas, a rather convincing win ner over Tulane and Texas Tech in its first two games, barely beat out Southern California, victorious over Colorado and Oklahoma, by a margin of 395 points to 357.

The Cougar win marked their second of the season while A&M suffered its second defeat in as many games. And the Aggies have still not beaten U of H in Houston since 1952. Army took the kickoff to its own 36 after the Coogs won the toss but turned the reception over to the visitors. From there full back Bulgie Ford netted three yards to the Ag 39, and halfback Jim Stabler gobbled up a first down to the 47. After that the Aggies, contained by fumbling hands, rubber shoul ders and a rugged Houston de fense, unveiled a type of football called “three downs and punt.” They reached midfield only once during the first half while Houston drove deep into Maroonland three times, scoring once and missing a field goal on another attempt. Houston’s first six-point drive started in the initial quarter after A&M’s Mike Devine nabbed a Houston pass on the goal line to stop a Cougar drive on the Aggie nine. The offense took over and moved the ball up to the 38. Then UofH linebacker Joe Raft er grabbed a pass from Maroon quarterback Dan Mcllhany and danced 19 yards back to A&M’s 19. Six plays later Cougar quar QB Conference Misfiring Aerially DALLAS—The shortage of prov en quarterbacks in the Southwest Conference has shown up early on the league’s statistical tally. With 13 games in the book, the Conference lists only one member —Texas Tech—above the 50 per cent mark in completions. Tech has hit on 11 of 22 to reach the break-even point. The other seven clubs are all below, including Bay lor, which opened its season with 47.6 per cent success against Wash ington by hitting 20 of 42. If the SWC lacks proven throw ers, the opposition doesn’t. Oppos ing teams are over the 50 per cent mark against seven of the eight teams. TGU has limited the ene my to 46.7 per cent success. While Baylor fell off the ideal percentage mark, there was noth ing wrong with Bruin yardage fig ures against Washington. Baylor struck for 327 yards passing, big gest total the Conference has seen in six seasons. Even under Don Trull, the Bears never broke the 300-yard figure and no Conference team has since 1958, when another Baylor team with Buddy Humph rey hit for 387 yards against Rice. The aerial success against Wash ington enabled Baylor to take the lead in total offense with a 316- yard average. Texas is the rushing - leader with a 187-yard average and the Longhorns are the whole Story defensively, leading in rushing de fense (60.5), passing defense (68.0) and total defense (128.5).

Jim Dyar booted the point after, and with 3:16 left in the first pe riod the score was Houston 7, A&M 0. The first half also ended with that score. A&M took the second half kick off and did just what they did in the first half—hold the ball three downs and punt. In the meantime, Houston moved the ball again into A&M country, with the help of 28 yards in three carries by halfback Dick Post, to the 11 where Dyar redeemed him self by making an 18-yard field goal attempt good. Thus the score wgs Houston 10, A&M 0 with 7:53 left in the third period. The Maroon never mustered enough steam for a long drive un til there were less than four min utes left in the game. A&M took over on its own 45 and moved down to the Houston 10, with Mcllhany’s passes to end Billy Uzzell. But UofH held on downs, and held the game. AGGIE LLOYD CURINGTON PICKS UP SEVEN . Yancy Bounds (64), John Brotherton (80) look on. FROM THE S>icleii ined By TEX ROGERS College Station, Tex. Sept. 28, 1964 Dear Agnes, After LSU beat us 9-6 a couple of weeks ago, I really felt terrible, like if you would send me a flush letter. All of the other players did too, because we thought we had played Louisiana such a good game. But one of the guys sort of analyzed the situation and reminded us the season was just starting. “Oh well, we still have nine more games,” he said to us, and Coach Hank Foldberg must have thought that was the right attitude for us to take. Last Saturday in Houston, after we got beat 10-0 by Houston for our second loss, everybody felt even worse than they did losing to LSU. However, again somebody said: “Oh well, we still have eight more games left.” I don’t imagine Coach Foldberg though that was very funny at the time, and probably turned a little green around the ulcer, with nightmares of one of those seasons again. Actually, it isn’t very funny because if this keeps up by the time Nov. 14 comes around we’ll be saying, “Well, we still have Texas to play.” You know, Agnes, if our season comes down to that it’s going to be hell trying to build a winner on the last game of the year, especially if it’s Texas. And I think the Longhorns might go all the way again this year. That’s almost too much to bear, at least for me. So I’m hoping we’ll make up our minds to play football before too much of the season goes by. We really want to win, Agnes, and I think we’ll take some ball games. It’s just that Houston seemed to be more ready than we were, and by the time we got ready to play football the Corps was singing “The Twelfth Man” and the game was over. But, Agnes, like I say, we want to win, and with all the Aggies behind us and squeezing for us like they do all the time, we’ll come up with some wins for Ol’ Army.
