Rolf Krueger (74), Lynn Odom, and Bill Hobbs made the stop for the Aggies. (Photo by Mike Wright) Ags’ Air Game Crashes Texas A&M’s infantry made huge dents in its enemy’s posi tions to win a battle Saturday night, but the Florida State de fensive backfield destroyed the Aggies’ air force to win the war 20-14 before 35,494 fans in Tal lahassee, Florida. The Aggie ground forces got help from an unexpected as well as an expected source in the game as A&M rushed for a fan tastic 289 yards. Dave Elmendorf, a 190-pound sophomore from Houston West- bury, provided the Aggies with a new tactical weapon while Lar ry Stegent, a 194-pound junior from Houston St. Thomas, turned in his usual brilliant perform ance. Elmendorf carried the ball 17 times for 129 yards and two touchdowns while Stegent gained 122 yards on 21 carries. STEGENT, the Southwest Conference’s sophomore-of-the- year last season, has already gained 281 yards on 46 carries for a 6.1 average and three touchdowns as A&M has posted a 1-2 record. In the entire cham pionship season Stegent gained 568 yards on 161 carries for a 3.5 average and five touchdowns. An offensive line anchored by tackles Tom Buckman and Jim Parker, guards Carl Gough and Allan Hanson and center Jack Kovar, opened the holes that al lowed Stegent and Elmendorf to enjoy their productive nights. On passing plays the line broke down as did the rest of the Aggie offensive machinery, however. Edd Hargett, one of the nation’s best quarterbacks, was forced to run and throw off balance most of the game and, as a result, suf fered through his least produc tive performance in three years. HARGETT completed 6 of 24 passes for 61 yards and did not throw for a touchdown for the first time since the Louisiana State game of last year. Four of the senior quarterback’s tosses were intercepted (all inside the Seminole’s 10-yard line) to stop possible Aggie scoring drives. Twice in the game’s last five minutes Coach Gene Stallings’ crew drove down the field to within range of the winning touchdown only to be stopped by the great Florida State second ary with key interceptions. Elmendorf started off the Ag gies’ first threat in the last quar- Maybe you... should talk to the man from A ALLIS-CHALMERS ALLIS-CHALMERS. BOX 512, MILWAUKEE WI 53201—AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER ter with five yards in two carries to set up a third and 5 situation at the Aggie 46. Stegent gained the necessary yardage for the first down in the next two plays. After Elmendorf had carried for an additional three, the Aggies got a break when the Seminoles got a pass interference penalty at their own 35. Stegent then lost four yards on a sweep, before John Crowe ended the threat with an interception on the six. EIGHT PLAYS later the Ag gies began another goalward march to an apparent victory. Hargett completed two passes, one of 18 yards to Stegent, as A&M came up with a second down and ten situation from the Florida State 25. On the next play Hargett once again threw off balance to Bob Long who had a step on his defender in the end- zone. The pass was short, how ever, and Walt Sumner inter cepted at the five to kill off A&M’s last chance with 46 sec onds left in the contest. The Aggie defense paced by Jim Piper, Lynn Odom and Bus ter Adami combined with such stalwarts as Bill Hobbs, Rolf Krueger and Mike DeNiro to play brilliant goal-line defense. With Florida State leading 17- 14 at the beginning of the third quarter, the Seminoles had a third and inches situation at the Aggie six but the A&M defense j repelled two quarterback sneaks by Bill Cappleman to take over the ball. The loss marked the end of non-conference games for the Aggies this season, as they open their SWC and home season this weekend against Texas Tech By RICHARD CAMPBELL Assistant Sports Editor The A&M Consolidated Tigers scored early and then used big defensive plays to hold on for their first victory of the year, 7-6, over the Cypress-Fairbanks Bobcats. Tiger halfback Mike Litterst rambled 19 yards on the first play of the game and then carried the final six yards for the Bengal touchdown with 5:42 left in the first quarter, Rob Schleider added the extra point and the Bengals led 7-0. Cy-Fair came right back with an 80-yard march climaxed by a 17-yard touchdown run by full back Fred Perkins. Jerry Mercer missed the all-important PAT when the boot was blocked by middle guard William Roy and the scoring for the night was over. The Bobcats made several drives in the second half but the Tigers defense led by Joe Griffin, Jimbo Butler, and Jim Woods stiffened time and time again to stop the winless hosts. And while the Bobcats were busy misplacing four fumbles, Tiger punter Le roy Clark kept them constantly in the hole with his booming spirals which averaged 46.5 for the night. The Bobcats had possession of the ball only ten times in tlj third period with most of tl action in the Tigers’ end of ti field. But halfway through ti fourth quarter, the Bote moved the ball from their op 27 on the slashing runs of ful back Perkins to the Tiger s: with three minutes left.
