Twice in the last three min
utes the Texas Aggies attempted
to repeat history against the
Texas Tech Red Raiders in Kyle
Field Saturday, but the massive
Raiders turned back both threats
for a 21-16 victory.
A crowd of 43,470 looked on
as Tech upped their season record
to 3-0-1 and their Southwest Con
ference mark to 2-0. Coach Gene
Stallings’ Aggies are now 1-3 for
the season and 0-1 in conference.
Last season at this point A&M
had an 0-4 season mark and a
0-1 SWC record, before defeating
the Red Raiders on the last play
of the game on the way to the
SWC championship. Thus things
have been this black record-wise
before, but seldom has A&M come
out of a game in worse shape
physically.
“It was a tough game, we came
out of it in worse shape physically
than any game since I’ve been
here, worse than last season’s
Purdue game,” Stallings said in
his post-game press conference.
“Both teams hit just real well.”
No fewer than eight Aggie
starters were out of action either
before, during or after the game.
Jimmy Sheffield, a sophomore
tailback, was on the sidelines in
street clothes for the first half
before getting the call to action
from Stallings and responding
with 30 yards on six carries in
cluding a touchdown.
Sheffield entered the game
after prize tailback Larry Stegent
was forced from the game with
a knocked down shoulder. Stegent
is expected to be out of action
for two weeks.
Hardest hit by the injury bug
was the Aggie offensive line. Carl
Gough, strong guard, had a knee
operation Sunday, and will miss
the rest of the season while Gary
Gruben, weak guard, suffered a
foot injury and Allan Hanson,
weak guard, missed the first con
ference game with infected
stitches.
Billy Hobbs reinjured his back
during the game and both quar
terback Edd Hargett and wing-
back Bob Long had their “bells
rung” and missed much of the
game.
The injuries to Hargett and
Stegent may have been the differ
ence in the game, according to
Stallings.
“You can see how it fouled up
our game plan. Hargett never did
get fully squared away, he was
still groggy at the end of the
game, the Aggie athletic director
said.
Trailing 21-10 in the final
quarter the Aggies battled back
just as they had so many times
last season. Hargett threw a
37-yard scoring strike to Tommy
Maxwell with 3:43 left to put
A&M back in the game at 21-16.
Matson Wins First
U. S. Gold Medal
Texas A&M’s Randy Matson
won America’s first gold medal
in the Mexico City Olympics Mon
day with a winning toss of 67 feet
43/4 inches in the shot put.
Jim Hines of Texas Southern
took the other gold medal for
United States with a 9.9 in the
100-meter dash.
Americans captured two other
medals with George Woods of Los
Angeles taking the silver in the
shot put behind Matson and
Charlie Greene of Seattle finish
ing third for the bronze behind
Hines.
Matson’s winning heave was
better than a foot over teammate
Woods.
The 6-foot-6 V2, 365-pound giant
who finished second to America’s
Dallas Long at Tokyo four years
ago, had shattered the Olympic
record with a qualifying heave of
67-101/4 Sunday. He holds the
world record at 71-51/2. which he
set at College Station last year.
Woods, a 300-pounder, was
second with a toss of 66 feet, V4
inch. Russia’s Eduard Guschin
took the bronze medal with 65-11
accounting for his country’s first
medal of the Games.
Dave Maggard of Mountain
View, California, America’s other
shot put qualifier, finished fifth
with a 63-9.
Hines thrilled a crowd of 65,000
packed into the Olympic Stadium
with his spectacular performance.
He beat Lennox Miller, a South
ern California student from Ja
maica, who was second, and
Greene.
would you like to
recruit top grads for
top jobs with a
top company?
Hey, that’s our job! . . . and unless
somebody is trying to tell us some
thing, we don’t think we’re doing too
badly.
Sure, Sun Oil Company needs a
lot more people—in Exploration, Pro
duction, Manufacturing, Research,
Engineering, Sales, Accounting, Eco
nomics and Computer Operations.
But there are unusual attractions.
Besides excellent pay, generous stock
plan, and especially good and econom
ical living conditions in the Phila
delphia, Toledo and Dallas areas,
Sunoco is an exciting comnanv to
work for.
This is the company that is pio
neering with Great Canadian Oil
Sands Ltd. the famed Athabasca oil
sands project in Northern Alberta—
a $235 million project that can multi
ply the world’s petroleum resources.
Also — that sponsors “Sunoco Spe
cials” and the Penske/Donohue team
in major auto racing championships
to competition-prove and develop
Sunoco products for the public; that
is planning a new $125 million proc
essing facility in Puerto Rico; ex
panded its Toledo Refinery to the tune
of $50 million; pursues a continuing
program for air and water pollution
control; beautifies Sunoco service
stations throughout the land; and
recently broke through the billion
dollar a year barrier in sales! Sound
interesting? Sun is geared for
growth. Perhaps we could use you.

An Equal Opportunity Employer M/F
The Aggie defense came
through when it had to as they
held Tech without a first down
in their final four possessions to
give the offense its chances.
On the first play of their next
series Hargett once again hit
Maxwell, this time for 21-yards
and a first down at the Tech 34.
The Aggie two-way star fumbled
on the play, however, to end the
threat.
A&M got to the Tech 36 on a
37-yard bomb from Hargett to
Barney Harris in game’s final
minute but the Red Raiders stiff
ened to throw Hargett for 14 and
6 yard losses and take over the
ball.
Two of the game’s brightest
spots for the Aggies was the
return of senior fullback Wendell
Housley and the continued bril
liant punting of Steve O’Neal.
O’Neal kept the Raiders penned
in their own territory through
out the third quarter with his
precision placements.
“Housley did a pretty good job.
He hasn’t played one play at tail
back since early last season,”
Stallings said.
“He did an exceptional job just
to know all the plays.”
Housley, playing his first game
of the season after suffering an
injury in pre - season practice,
was the Aggies’ leading ball-
carried with 69 yards on 19 car
ries. Hargett completed 9 of 20
passes for 142 yards and a touch
down while Harris grabbed three
for 61 yards.
