Logan went into the second half without a single yard rush ing and ended the top rushed for the night with 109 yards. While Consolidated was even ing its record, Friday’s opponent, Hearne, received its third loss of the year to two wins. The Eagles were left holding the short end of a 32-6 score with the Taylor Ducks. The Tigers and the Eagles were long time rivals of District 19-AA before the Bengals moved up to 3A ball last year and the Eagles shifted into District 17- AA. The annual bout remains, but is now a nondistrict contest. The Eagles dealt the Tigers a 14-13 loss last year. David Alexander recovered a Navasota fumble on the first play from scrimmage to set up Con solidated’s initial score against the Rattlers. Fullback Paul Becker, starting for the first time since the Maroon’s opener with Forest Park, picked up 27 yards in two carries leaving the Tigers on the Navasota 5-yard line. Steve Boring carried the ball over for the score. The Bengals next score came on a fourth and five situation when Terry Logan, back to punt, fired a pass to end David Terral on the Rattler 37. Logan carried the remaining 37 yards on the next play. In the last of the fourth period Logan capped a 62-yard drive with a 13-yard sweep around the right end for the final Tiger score. Robison hit Ed Goldsmith for the two-point conversion. Hearne will host the Tigers Friday night with kick off at 8 p.m. in the final nondistrict game for both teams. , Hector’s Curios Specializing: in MEXICAN IMPORTS Guitars — Wrought Iron Ar ticles — Beautiful Oil Paint ings on Velvet — Horns — Coins — Saddles — Billfolds and other leathergoods — Rocks — Jewelry Boxes — Other Curios — “Imported directly from Mexico by Hector X. Gutierrez ’66” Hector’s Curios Located at Nita’s Alterations, N. Gate It couldn’t have happened to a less deserving team. The Aggies, coupling a bruis ing defense with a solid passing attack, had shown 43,000 wildly partisan spectators in Lubbock’s Jones Stadium they meant busi ness for the first time in several iartt excit years. They worked up a quick 10-0 lead at halftime while the stumb ling and bumbling Raiders res embled sandlot rejects. But Tech quarterback Tom Wilson began successfully prob ing the Aggie secondary midway through the third period, and with 2:44 left in the game the Raiders captured the lead, 13-10. The Aggies screamed back with two long passes and retook the lead they had held throughout the game with 1:38 left. Ready to sack up their second consecutive victory, the Cadets fell victim to some razzle-dazzle prompted by Georgia’s stunning upset of Alabama two weeks earlier. Facing third and 10 from the Aggie 49, Wilson hit end Jerry Shipley over the middle at the 42. Shipley, heading to the right as a swarm of white shirts converged on him, lateraled back to half back Donny Anderson, who cover ed the last 37 yards untouched for a 20-16 victory. It was a bitter finish for Gene Stallings’ Cadets, who dominated the game, before that final play, a flea-flicker devised in the Tech huddle. A&M drove 43 yards for a touchdown after junior guard Tom Murrah jarred Wilson loose from the ball and recovered with near ly nine minutes gone in the first quarter. The big gainer in the drive was a 14 yard pass to ace end Ken McLean on the Tech 20. Lloyd Curington got the last three yards on a fourth down pass from quarterback Harry Ledbetter and the conservion made it 7-0. The Aggies struck again on their next possession after get ting the ball on the Tech 36 when Jim Kauffman was hit by an overaggressive Raider while making a fair catch at the Tech 49. Ledbetter kept to the ground on this drive, alternating fullback Dan Schneider and left half Bill Sallee down to the four. The Tech defense toughened there, and on fourth down Sallee was dropped at the two and the Raiders took over. Anderson punted three plays later and Nichols returned to the Tech 45, where Ledbetter passed the Aggies back down to the three. A running play and incomple tion failed to pick up the first down and Glynn Lindsey kicked a 22-yard field goal with 9:13 left in the half. Tech got an early second-half break when the Aggies lost a fourth-down gamble from their own 45. The Raiders couldn’t move but an exchange of punts set them up at the Aggie 39. From there it took Tech seven plays to score, with Anderson taking a pass in the left flat, sliding off linebacked Robert Cor tez and scoring easily. The aroused Raiders moved to the Aggie 22 before being stop ped, and penetrated to the Aggie 32 on their next series. Ken Gill’s field goal try hit the cross bar and bounced back, leaving A&M with a 10-7 lead. Tech scored the go-ahead tally after moving 59 yards in 12 plays. Soph halfback Mike Leinert took a one-yard pass from Wilson and the Raiders were ahead with 2:44 left, 13-10. The Aggies needed but four plays to score after the kickoff. Ledbetter passed incomplete for McLean, then hit his favorite tar get for 38 yards to the Tech 41. After another incompletion, Ledbetter faded and lofted a pass toward senior halfback Jim Stab ler. Stabler took the pass on the five and raced into the end zone unmolested with 1:38 left in the game. But the Raiders came back in three plays and 21 seconds to ice the game with the Wilson-to Shipley-to Anderson combination. The Aggies had one last chance but the comeback try failed when Tech halfback Boy Yancer pick ed off a Ledbetter pass with 25 seconds remaining.

The spunky Cadets had whip ped Texas Tech all night long and come back to retake the lead they lost with 2:44 left, only to see the dreams of their first conference win wiped out by a freak pass play. Most of the players talked silently in small groups. Some appeared dazed. Few spoke. Some wept. One of the most crestfallen was wingback Jim Stabler, who caught the pass that nearly iced the game with 1:38 left. “We let you guys down,” Stab ler said. “We let you down.” The Dallas senior had streaked down the right sideline, gotten behind the defensive halfback and took the touchdown pass all alone at the five. “Dude (McLean) ran a hook and pulled the halfback in,” he explained, “and I slipped behind him. It was a perfect pass. I thought we had them. “I’ve never beat those guys,” he continued. “I hope they (the coaches) work our tails off.” Senior linebacker Joe Wellborn was trying to explain what hap pened on that nightmarish play to his mother after the game. “Everybody went for the ball,” he explained. “That’s the way L T h we’re taught and that’s the on; way we can win. “I just wish I were a soph more now, or I wish he’d (Sta lings) have come in when I wi a freshman. “That was my last chance t beat those guys,” he said, figk ing back the tears. Defensive halfback Eddie Ms Kaughan said that field positit made the difference in the se ond half, when Tech scored i its points. “We had it in the first hi! but couldn’t get in the second he said.
