Stifled by three quarters of uneventful football, the Fish, in spired by a tremendous fourth quarter defensive charge, came back in the big play tradition BUSIER AGENCY REAL ESTATE • INSURANCE F.H.A.—Veterans and Conventional Loans FARM & HOME SAVINGS ASSOCIATION Home Office: Nevada, Mo. 3523 Texas Ave. (in Ridgecrest) 846-3708 Welcome Agfgies EL TORO RESTAURANT 500 N.

Led by the pin-point passing of Joe King, they marched down the field in the final minute hitting pass after pass until King found Joey Herr in the end zone for the winning touchdown. THE FIRST quarter belonged solely to the Owlets as they marched to the Fish one yard line aided by the 50-yard run of Quarterback Stable Vincent. Vin cent rolled to his right on the option play, cut sharply inside and sped to the Fish 18 before Chris Johnson could put the col lar on him. But, six plays later Rice tailback Mike Tyler was jarred loose from the football and Edwin Ebrom recovered for the Fish on the one. Here the Fish attack bogged down and punter Herr booted 50 yards to the Rice 38. After unsuc cessful thrusts, Rice punter Mark Williams dropped back to his own 37 but the center hiked it over his head and Aggie Robert Hill tackled him on the Rice 28. Un fortunately, the Fish could not capitalize on this opportunity as Billy Martin attempted a 38-yard field goal with 5:10 left and it sailed off to the left. The Owlets took over on their own 20 and drove to the A&M 29 where the Fish held and Williams attempted a 46-yard field goal. It was short and the Fish took over on their 20. On the second play of the drive, QB Mike Hunger scotted around left end for 15 yards and the longest Fish run of the night behind a beauti- AGGIES (Continued From Page 1) for passing yardage while eight attempts and 29 completions will also set all - time conference marks. The Marietta senior needs only nine more scoring tosses to rank as the greatest in SWC history in that department also. MONTGOMERY IS already one of only 10 players in Porker history to reach 1,000 yards in total offense in one season and needs only 475 yards to set the all-time mark. The Carrollton, Texas native should also become the most proficient passer in Ar kansas annuals as with four games to go he has pitched for 923 yards with 83 completions in 147 attempts. Jack Robbins currently holds Porker records in all three categories when he hit on 95 of 152 passes for 1,219 yards in 1935. Johnny Peacock, Chuck Dicus and Mike Sigman have been Montgomery’s favorite targets thus far while Billy Burnett and Bruce Maxwell have been the team’s top ground gainers.

At this point, the going got rough as the Rice defense smoth ered Bunger for two quick losses and Herr punted again. Rice took over after the 28-yard kick and marched on the strong legs of Crabtree to the Fish 40 where Williams attempted a 57-yard field goal. But it was short and to the right and the score re mained 0-0. The half ended with one of King’s passes being inter cepted by Jimmy Davis. After an exchange of punts, the Owlets picked apart the Fish de fense with slashing runs by Crab tree, who carried 35 times in the game. They went 81 yards in 14 plays with Vincent zipping for the final 11 on a quarterback keeper. Williams’ PAT was true and the Owlets drew first blood, 7-0. IN THE FOURTH period, the Fish began their Halloween tac tics quickly on defense as Vincent was again loosened from the pig skin and Luebbehusen recovered on the Rice 32. But the Fish were penalized 15 for holding and the ball went back to the 47. On the next play, Bunger lost two to the 49. Just as disaster seemed im minent, Bunger found Herr all alone and unloaded the bomb to the Rice 8. And, all of a sudden, the Fish were back. Four plays later, Billy Joe Polasek took a handoff from Bunger on the wingback-around play and waltzed into the end- zone untouched for the final two yards and the score. Martin con verted and it was 7-7. WITH EXACTLY one minute showing on the clock, King crank ed up his throwing arm and hit split end Johnny Gardner for 14 yards to the 32 and a first down. One play later, he found Herrii for 11 to the 19 and another 6 down. The Fish were penalize) the next play back to the 251 this time King hit David 04 on a sideline pattern for II the 11.
