Fish Make The Big Plays As Rice Falls, 14
By RICHARD CAMPBELL
The Texas Aggie Fish showed
a Kyle Field crowd of 3,000 a
touch of the old big-play magic
Thursday night as they converted
two fourth quarter fumbles into
touchdowns and clipped the Rice
Owlets, 14-7, for their third
straight victory without a loss.
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

Open 8 a. m. till midnight 7 days weekly
reminiscent of the Aggie varsity.
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-

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. Dav
id Dickey has been bothered by
injuries and may not play
against the Aggies.

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

split end Johnny Gardner for 14
yards to the 32 and a first down.
