Well, don’t whisper it too loud but it seems like the 1969 Texas Aggies may have rekindled the big play flame which character ized A&M’s Southwest Confer ence champs in 1967. If those fans on the east side of Kyle Field Saturday thought the sun was hot, they were un doubtedly right, but the field itself couldn’t have been passed over by many fire marshals. The Southern Methodist Mus tangs departed from the charac teristics aerial game but quarter back Chuck Hixson still managed to scorch the field between the 20-yard lines, but it was all for naught as the big play Aggies rose to the occasion to mash the Ponies, 20-10. Hixson was never more ac curate in defeat as he hit on 22 of 33 tosses for 242 yards but failed to connect on even one aerial scoring strike as the Cadets, led by defensive end Mike DeNiro, toughened time after time when the Mustangs neared the goal line. DeNiro had one of his best of many outstanding games as he applied pressure to the usually quick-throwing Hix son to halt the SMU offensive machine short of a score all but one time. The Ponies surprised everyone as they apparently deserted the offensive route which had made Hixson the most feared college passer in the nation. Instead, Hixson spent much of the after noon sliding the ball into the bellies of small Gordon Gilder and smaller Daryl Doggett. Dog- gett finished with 94 yards on 19 carries and Gilder added 54 on 14 trips. After seven so-so contests, the Aggies finally came to life and instead of making mistakes them selves, they forced the Ponies into errors of their own and then capitalized on them. This is A&M’s first win over SMU since 1964. High-stepping Steve Burks, a 5-10, 170-pound tailback from Dumas, stole the show from everyone as he collected 100 yards rushing on only four carries to become the leading ground gainer in the game. Playing in the back up position behind all-SWC run ner Larry Stegent, Burks really never got a chance to show his fancy moves and fine speed, but Saturday he made believers of the Mustangs at least. He stepped off a 57-yard run from scrim mage, the longest Aggie jaunt of the year, on his first carry and then put the game out of reach on his final carry when he broke free again for a 37-yard touchdown. The Aggies changed their de fensive strategy by adding an other defensive back to offset the Ponies’ aerial game and found that it worked to their satisfac tion as the frustrated Methodists only found the goal line once, on a 64-yard drive in the first quarter. Although giving up 373 total yards, the Cadets constantly stopped SMU when it really counted. Twice they applied enor mous pressure when Hixson did pass, causing him to throw two interceptions, both stopping SMU drives. With quarterback Rocky Self playing perhaps his best game of the year, the Aggies mounted three long drives to account for their scoring. Self constantly was on target to Barney Harris, Ross Brupbacher, and Jimmy Adams to give the Mustangs a taste of their own airborne medi cine. He hit several key third- down passes to keep the Aggies’ hopes alive and ended the after noon with nine completions in 16 attempts for 145 yards and a touchdown. The scoring pass was a 28-yard strike to Brupbacher, his fifth of the year. But the whole story was De Niro, who looked at times like he belonged in the SMU back- field, getting to Hixson to either smother him for a loss or pres sure him into an interception. The best example came in the fourth quarter with the Mustangs trailing 20-10 and camped on the Aggie 5. Hixson rolled out to the left looking for his tight end Ken Flemming but DeNiro leaped one blocker and fought his way around another to jump on Hix son just before he released the COME BACK HERE, BALL Ag-g-ie fullback Marc Black leaps for his fumble and beats SMU’s Bill Wright to coveted pigskin.

It flew away from Fleming into the hands of Aggie rover Steve Luebbehusen, who took it one yard in the end zone and returned it to the A&M 31. And that sealed the fate of the Ponies, who now stand 2-6 for the year.

McLaren expressed surprised that his MSB 427-cu. inch cat- turned the top time of the day With 210.5 miles per hour on the straightaway. “It was amazing,” he added. His average speed was 109.845. The race was going smoothly until the 46th lap, where McLa- ren’s teammate, Denis Hulme, who was leading, dropped out with a broken piston. From there the heat took its toll and Mc Laren crossed the finish line 1:24 ahead of runnerup George Eaton. Jack Brabham was third. McLaren finished the 11-race series with 165 points, five ahead of Hulme, although the latter tops the money list with $111,000. $15,000 for Sunday’s race and $50,000 for the series victory went to McLaren. Twenty-two cars started the race with Andretti opening up a small lead. But on the fourth lap, Hulme gave the crowd of 24,600 a thrill when he passed the Indy winner for the lead.
