SMU Dumps Ags, 36-23 By JOHN PLATZER In the age of the transplant, Southern Methodist transplanted Mike Richardson’s leg for Chuck Hixon’s arm at halftime in the Cotton Bowl Saturday to race past the Aggies 36-23. The win kept the Methodists in a four-way tie for the South west Conference lead while the Aggies dropped to a 2-6 season and 1-4 SWC mark despite an other brilliant performance by quarterback Edd Hargett. A&M’s defense limited Hixson, the nation’s leading passer, to only seven completions in 17 at-, tempts for 113 yards while inter cepting one in the first half. This slowed down the Ponies’ offense enough to give Coach Gene Stall ings’ squad a 10-7 lead. A seven yard pass from Har gett to Long gave the Aggies the first score in the game after a 49-yard drive in six plays. Richardson showed a preview of things to come in the second quarter as he single handedly raced through the Aggies for 91 yards on ONE series in which he carried seven times. When the dust had cleared the Mustangs had driven even with the Aggies at 7-7. Charley Riggs booted A&M back out front as time ran out in the first half with a 36-yard field goal. SMU took the lead for the first time at the beginning of the third quarter as Richardson drove over from the one with 6:50 left in the period. Richardson scored again on a two-yard sweep the next time SMU got the ball as the Methodists widened the margin to 21-10. The Aggies battled back once again at the end of the third quarter with an 11-yard pass from Hargett to Long sending the score to 21-16. The teams exchanged touchdowns in the final quarter to make the score 29-23. SMU put the game on ice with 2:15 left as Hixson connected with Ken Fleming for 31 yards. Hargett’s performance contin ued to add to his stature as the nation’s premier senior quarter back. The “Marietta Marvel” con nected on 32 of 58 passes for 376 yards and 3 touchdowns and was his team’s leading rusher with 42 yards on 12 carries. He has now thrown 103 passes in his last two games without an inter ception. Contemporary Arts Exhibits Committee Presents: “A Night with E.M. (Buck) Schiwetz" NATIONALLY KNOWN ARTIST Autograph and painting demonstration Portfolio of Six Texas Missions and The Texas Sketchbook will be on sale. 7:30 p.m. November 14, MSC Assembly Room Another SWC career mark fell to Hargett in the contest as he passed Terry Southall for the most completions in conference history at 357. He is now in seventh place in the all-time NC AA statistics only three behind Zeke Bratowski. This places him ahead of such names as Craig Morton, Bob Griese and Babe Parilli. A total of 35 completions in his next two games would place him in third place ahead of Steve Spurrier. Hargett also moved into ninth place in the NCAA’s all-time total offense leaders with 4,930 yards. He could move into fifth place (again ahead of Spurrier) with 360 yards in his last two games. It was also a record shattering day for Richardson who carried the ball 39 times for a phenomi- nal 244 yards.
