THE BATTALION
TT Spoils Ag Comeback, 16-12
A sputtering Aggie offense
struggled for three-fourths of a
football game in the depths of
Kyle Field before it finally came
to life, but only too late, and the
Texas Tech Red Raiders claimed
A&M, 16-12, Saturday night.
It was almost a replay of the
Aggies’ previous week’s battle,
with the Maroon offense bogging
down, and even giving the Raiders
a safety, before quarterback Danny
Mcllhaney took to the air in a
surprise passing exhibition in the
final minutes before intermission.
Meanwhile, Tech, led by the
Donny Anderson Destruction Co.,
piled up 111 yards in the first half
to A&M’s 53, despite hard play
from a staunch Aggie defense.
The Raiders first tally came
easy on the fifth play of the game.
A&M, held to downs on its 15, was
forced to punt and Raider end
Jerry Balch charged through the
Aggie left side to block a punt off
the shoe of Phil Scoggin.
The loose football rolled out of
the end zone for a Tech safety and
the visitors were ahead, 2-0, with
only 1:38 gone in the game.
Then it was A&M’s turn to tally,
only it was the Aggie defense
that provided the punch.
Following the punt after the
safety, Tech quarterback Tom Wil
son fired a pass which Maroon

defender Mike Pitman nabbed on
his own 30 and raced down the
sidelines to the Raider three before
Balch collared him.
Three plays later, Mcllhaney
squirmed over from the one, and
the Aggies, for once, enjoyed a 6-2
lead with 10:30 left in the opening
period. Glen Lindsey’s point after
attempt went wide.
The Aggies controlled the foot
ball only once after their defen
sively-earned tally before Tech
started a scoring drive from the
Cadet 40.
It took 10 plays, with Anderson
picking up the most ground, before
Wilson sneaked over from the one.
With the tables turned, Tech led
the Ags, 9-6, with 2:07 still left in
the first quarter.
The second half consisted of
scoreless play confined to midfield.
A&M did manage to develop one
threat, a 37-yard pass from Mcll-
hany to halfback Lloyd Curington,
in the final seconds.
Tech came back with another
score the second time they owned
the ball in the third period. This
time the drive started on a covered
Maroon fumble from the Ag 18.
Anderson rolled around left end
from the three and the score was
Tech 16, A&M 6, with 8:26 left in
the preiod.
The Aggies managed to hold
the Raider attack in the final
stanza, and put on an offensive
show of their own, controlling
the ball almost all the quarter.
On a drive that began on their
own 48, the Cadets passed their
way downfield to the TT 14. Then,
with a play from Mcllhany to
Curington to Mcllhany, the Pasa
dena senior nailed sophomore Law-
son Howard alone in the end zone
corner.
With only 3:06 left in the game
and the Ags behind 16-12, a rugged
Maroon defense came to the front
to hold Tech on downs and into a
punt.
But despite how hard they tried,
time ran out on the Aggies for
once, and history could not repeat
itself.

Moose Writes Agnes
Tech No Weak Sister
College Station, Texas
Oct. 5, 1964
Dear Agnes,
Well, we did it again—lost, that is. And I guess you
think I’m running my letters out of a memograph machine,
because that’s all I have to say it seems.
However, Agnes, I have confi-4~
dence in the Aggies and I think
we’re gonna beat somebody —
someday, somewhere.
In the meantime, I guess we all
learned something. We found out
that Texas Tech is no longer the
patsy and weak sister of the South
west Conference, and there isn’t
going to be many days when the
Raiders will give anybody a ball
game, like donating trading
stamps.
Of course, that’s a hard pill to
QJ.

two years in a row you have to
face the facts. Believe me Agnes,
that’s not easy, because when the
patsy beats you, the rule of deduc
tion points the big finger at you,
leaving no one else as the you
know what.
Right now we have to concen
trate on our next game, the one
with the University of Southern
Califormia in Los Angeles. Think
ing about that one, and the idea
of playing in the Coliseum, sort of
reminds you how the Christians
felt before being tossed to the
lions. That’s a thought to chew
Actually, maybe the game won’t
be so bad. I hear the bookies
have us only a seven-point under
dog, and you can’t trust the
bookies always. Then USC may
still be down from their 17-7 loss
to Michigan State. Of Course, that’s
about as possible as me intercept

Hey, that is possible.
At any rate, I hope you won’t
give up on me yet, or the Aggies,
Agnes. If I can’t count on you,
who else can I count on besides
a roommate with athlete’s feet.
Gig ’em.

Anderson, who retired in 1957,
coached the Aggies to nine SWC
track titles. His teams never fin
ished lower than third and only
on three occasions did they finish
that low. Four Aggies competed
in the Olympics while he was
coach: Jack Mahan, javelin winner

the winning 1600 meter relay team

Kimbrough was the big blaster

romping to 19 straight wins and a
National Championship during
1939 and 1940. He was All-America
both years and still is listed on the
all-time teams of both the Cotton
and Sugar Bowls.
Hunt, all-SWC quarterback three
years (1925-26-27) scored 128
points in 1927 and that mark still
stands as a SWC scoring record.
His 30 tuchdowns and 224 points
are career scoring marks for A&M.
Henderson, who died in 1955, at
age 36 of multiple sclerosis, won
11 varsity letters in five sports—
