Alert, rugged defense and a
26-yard field goal proved to be
the margin of victory for the Ag
gies Saturday night as they
evened their season record at 2-2
by outlasting Houston’s Cougars,
10-7, in Kyle Field.
The victory was the first in
two years for A&M on their home
field and made them the winners
of the current Houston series 6-
5-3. The Cadets had last won in
Kyle Field in ’63 when they de
feated the Cougars, 23-13.

The winning score came in the
third quarter after the Ags had
been stalled on their own 35 fol
lowing reception of the kick-off.
Phil Scoggin, who averaged
44.4 yards per punt for the eve
ning, booted to the Houston 20.
Tom Paciorek gathered in the
punt, but the pigskin popped into
the arms of center Jim Singleton
and the Aggies owned the ball
on Houston’s 18.
Lloyd Curington carried for
four, Harry Ledbetter kept for
three to the 11 and Bill Sallee
was held for no gain to set up
fourth and three. Glynn Lindsey
was called in and booted the
three - pointed for the winning
score.
The Aggies drew first blood in
the opening quarter on a one-
yard plunge by Sallee. The Ca
dets had taken the opening kick
off on the 33 and moved 21 yards
in eight plays before the Cougar
defense held. Scoggins punted
into the UH end zone and Hous
ton took over on the 20.
On third and eight Tom Murrah
made the first of his two fumble
recoveries for the evening and
A&M was within striking dis
tance of the Cougar goal line.
The Maroon rolled in for the
score from the 21 in six plays
against a determined Houston de
fense. Sallee hit paydirt with
8:20 left in the quarter.
Late in the first quarter the
Cougars owned the football with
first and 10 on the Aggie 23.
They threw two incomplete pass

ols, and were held to one yard

scoring threat fell short.
After moving to their own 37,
the Aggies were forced to punt

The Cougars covered the dis
tance in 16 plays and made four
first downs. One was the result
of a penalty after the Aggie de
fense had held them to fourth

Dick Post got the drive off to
a big start when he scampered
for 29 yards with second and 10.
After the first down by penalty
Houston picked up one rushing

up a first and 25 situation. The
Aggie defense couldn’t contain

Matson was an all-state bas

Emil Mamaliga, Matson’s
weight coach, said he has tried
to influence him to resume bas
ketball for some time but that
Matson was reluctant because he
was unsure of being able to keep
up his weights program at the

The star weightman would be
a welcome addition to the Aggie
squad, which returns six letter-
men from last year’s team.
It is likely Matson will try to
make the squad as a center.

The Aggie cross-country team
will meet Arlington State, TCU
and North Texas State in Arling
ton Saturday afternoon at 1:30.
A strong University of Hous
ton team handed A&M its first
defeat Friday and evened the
Cadets’ record to 1-1. Don Rowe,
the Ags No. 1 man was the high
est placing Aggie in the meet.
The Farmers look to be strong
er this week as Willy Rodriguez
and Ed Vezey return to action
after being out last week with
injuries.
If happiness is a great week
end, the Aggies ought to be ec
static after this last one! A
great town hall, a wild midnight
yell practice, hundreds of sweet
young things, great parties if you
could find them, and a win in
Kyle Field made it a weekend to
remember. But, oh, that Monday
morning!
Head Coach Gene Stallings
wants the press to compliment
the student body on its conduct
at the game . . . and The Batt
would like to humbly pass on the
word, and add “let’s keep it up.”
It wouldn’t be oP Army if there
were nothing to gripe about, and
brother, I just can’t say enough
about that Kyle Field seating. I
think I’ll write a book and call it
“Four Years In The End Zone”
by Ima Leatherlegs. Another
small point that received Aggie
comment was the Cougar foot
ball team warming up on the
field while the Aggie Band (and
Ranger) were still performing.
Aggies are beginning to really
show up in the SWt stats, and
that Ken (Dude) McLean-Harry
Ledbetter combination gets this
writer’s vote for All-America,
along with Joe Wellborn.
Ledbetter has moved up to sec
ond in the SWC in total offense
with 496 yards and is holding
third in passing with 447 yards
on 37 passes, including three
TD’s.
McLean is third in pass receiv
ing with 22 catches for 271 yards.
He’s only two passes out of first
place and has a 12.3 average.
In the specialty departments
Phil Scoggin. Jerry Nichols and
Lloyd Curington are holding up
Aggie honors. Scoggin now has
a 40.8 kicking average for 32
punts to place him second in the
SWC.
Nichols is fourth in punt re
turns with 72 yards in seven runs.
Curington is fourth in kickoff re
turns with 139 yards gained in
five dashes.
Another big weekend is in
store with the climax set in Amon
Carter Stadium in Fort Worth.
The Aggies will meet TCU in the
first Corps Trip night game. The
Corps will march at 10 a.m. Sat
urday and the band will make its
first out-of-town appearance that
evening at halftime.
TCU made a good showing los
