Aggies Take SWC Lead With Win

alf was in the coaches’ lobby
nd quipped, “That’s nothing, we
cored 35 points a half,” then the
oundballer added, “but we can’t
hold our oppostion to seven
points.”
But the Aggies didn’t score all
of their touchdowns via the easy
route. Late in the first period
A&M took a Frog punt on its
own 36-yard line and marched 64
yards in eight plays for the
score. Lindsey added the point.
Once the Aggie drive almost
came to a halt. A&M drew 15
for holding and faced a third-
and-21 situation when Coach
Gene Stallings’ crew pulled the
fake punt that still has everyone
wondering.
Punter Steve O’Neal was back
in regular formation, but the
snap was short to halfback Bob
Long. Long stepped forward and
handed the ball off to fullback
Bill Sallee. Sallee paused with
the ball tucked away, for a short
two seconds, then sprinted 25
yards for the first down.
Sophomoi-e quarterback Edd
Hargett hit Long with passes of

eight and 26 yards on the next
two plays to put A&M on the
TCU four. Halfback Wendell
Housley skirted his own left end
on the next play for the score.
Again Lindsey added the point-
after and the Aggies led, 14-0.
Late in the second quarter the
Aggies marched to the TCU goal
again, this time the Farmers
covered 75 yards in only five
plays.
Housley hit the line for one,
then Hargett connected with
Maxwell for 12 to the Aggie 38.
The next pass was incomplete.
Maxwell pulled in the next aer
ial, a 41-yarder. Hargett was
pressed on the fifth play, but
evaded tacklers and fired a low
pass to Long on the 10. Long
covered the last 10 alone and
A&M was ahead, 21-0.
TCU caught the Maroon de
fense at a slack point and scored
its sole touchdown of the night
with two seconds left in the ini
tial half.
A&M scored once in the third
period following a short TCU
quick-kick. The Aggies took the \
ball on TCU’s 32 and scored five
plays later.
A Hargett-to-Maxwell aerial
accounted for the final Aggie
TD. The play came with 3:28
remaining in the contest. Har
gett/ dropped back for the pass,
looked to Maxwell, but Maxwell
was covered. Receiving fine pass
protection, Hargett signalled his
prime receiver downfield. Max
well caught the pass on the run,
stopped to evade his defender
and outran the Frogs the remain
ing 15 yards to the goal.
The play netted 55 yards—the
longest pass oi - running play of
the season for the Aggies.
The win put the Aggies in the
lead for the Southwest Confer
ence race with a 2-0 record. The
Farmers downed Texas Tech, 35-
14, in their first conference
game.
This Saturday the Aggies face
the real test when they meet the
Baylor Bears in Waco. Both of
A&M’s wins this season have
been played on the Aggies’ home
Kyle Field. This game will be
played before an anticipated 50,-
000 fans on regional TV.

Gary Sherer Picks Top Twenty
The halfway mark of the I'.'CC
football season is upon us with a
few surprises and a few of the
same old stories.
Nationally, Ara Parseghian has
come up with another monster at
Norte Dame, with another pass-
catch combo, ala Huarte-Snow. in
the persons of Terry Hanratty
and Jim Seymour. There is one
major difference — Coach Par
seghian will have these two
around for two more years. He
only had the other combination
for one season. Michigan State,
Alabama, UCLA, USC, Nebraska
and Georgia Tech have come up
with their regular powerhouses.
Possibly the biggest surprise is
stately Harvard University
which, after last week, is now
the best all-around team (scor
ing) in the nation. This doesn’t
mean they will be able to take on
the nation’s best, (Tufts and La
fayette were their first two vic
tories and they aren’t even a chal
lenge for small-college rankings).
It does prove that once in a while,
scholars can play football.
Our Aggies are providing the
big surprise in this region, though
area scribes are still holding out
for a couple or more victories be
fore giving 100 per cent ap
proval. This week’s game at
Baylor will decide a lot of things
for both teams. The rest of this
year’s evenly balanced league
sees some other big attractions
this week: Texas at Rice, SMU
at Texas Tech and Arkansas and
TCU going intersectional with
games with Wichita and Auburn
respectively.

Exclusive Dealers of Gant
Shirts and Corbin Trousers
IN ADDITION, A SELECTION OF
SHIRTS BY SERO AND ENRO, AS
WELL AS SLACKS BY CRICKETEER
AND MEL ROSE.
There’s more than fabric superiority in Gant. In addi
tion, “needed-into the warp and woof of every Gant
shirt” — there’s flair-fit show — three vital inher-
ents that make all the difference when a man wears
a Gant.
We chose Gant because they take shirt making seri
ously. They’re hard to please (like we are) when it
comes to fit of collars, its roll, is profile—how much
it shows above the suit collar. They’re fastidious
about the way the body of the shirt drapes and folds.
All must integrate to achieve that viable' ingredient
which gives comfort and aplomb. In substance, Gant
shirts are keyed to the discerning tastes of well
groomed men who appreciate quality. These men are
oru customers.
