Ag offensive explosion buries Wichita By CLIFFORD BROYLES The Texas Aggies romped to a school record of 550 yards of fensively and kept Wichita State in check defensively throughout most of the night to come away with a 41-14 win over the Shock ers and the first home-opening win for the Aggies since they plastered Villanova 19-0 in the first game of the 1956 season. The win sends the Ags into their tough three-game road trip to LSU, Ohio State and Michi gan, with a lot of new hope and precious momentum. Fifty seven players got into action for the Aggies as they built a 41-7 lead midway the fourth period and Coach Gene Stallings substituted freely throughout that quarter. The Shockers took the open ing kickoff but were unable to move the ball and junior guard Van Odom and linebacker Mike Lord led the charge defensively for A&M. The first ray of bright offen sive hope came early for A&M as Dave Elmendorf hooked onto Bob Fenner’s punt and returned it 34 yards to the exact yard line where the play started from, the WSU 34. Kent Finley layed the key block on the play, but A&M failed to move offensively and Pat McDermott’s first field goal try of the year from the 40 had the distance but was wide. The 10-play 56-yard march gave A&M its first taste of scor ing this season with Junior Steve Burks, the Aggie leading rusher with 95 yards, ripping through the center of the WSU defense for 10 yards with 6:24 remaining in the opening period. A&M actually had been stop ped on that drive and was forced ROSES We Specialize In Them— Red, yellow, pink, tropicana We Have Them.

Quarterback Lex James hit an other first-year man, Brad Dusek, with a key pass on third down and six for the Aggies at their 48. The play went for 22 yards to the Wichita 30. The two teams then traded fumbles with Wichita picking up two straight first downs, thanks to the running of fullback Randy Jackson, who was the game’s leading rusher with 99 yards on 18 carries. Renner then missed connections on a handoff and sophomore defensive end Max Bird pounced on the loose ball. It was the first of two fumble recoveries for Bird during the game. It took the Aggies one play to return the compliment as a mixup in the backfield produced a fum ble and defensive tackle Jack Vet ter fell on the pigskin. The Aggies next drive was thwarted when the snap from center was hobbled on a 24-yard field goal try after they had moved from their 20 to the Wi chita 9. Rocky Self grabbed the loose ball but his pass went in complete in the end zone. A&M’s next offensive drive ended in paydirt after Renner’s punt rolled to the 17, a distance of 63 yards from the line of scrimmage. Dusek got the score when A&M went for the TD on a fourth and goal from the four with 3:21 re maining in the half. The block ing was so good on that play that Doug Neill who went in front of Dusek on James’ pitch- out didn’t have to block. McDer mott added the PAT, his second of five straight to give A&M a 14-0 lead. Wichita got on the scoreboard for the first time immediately thereafter with Jackson blasting over from the two with 1:57 to play in the half. Renner hit Tom Owen for a 36 yard gain in the drive. That play set up the Shockers score two plays later. A&M then moved down the field with some last-minute heroics led by split end McElroy who scam- IS THIS ANY WAY TO RUN A BARBER SHOP?

James found the Houston Worthing product a prime target once more in the drive as he hit him for 25 yards on a pass to the Shocker 9 with only three seconds remaining on the clock. The Aggies settled for a field goal from the 25 and when the ball sailed through the uprights, the gun sounded ending the first half and A&M was sitting on a 10 point lead that was much more comfortable than the seven point margin of three seconds before. A&M put forth the longest of fensive drive of the contest early in the second half when it moved the ball 92 yards after Wichita State had fumbled on the A&M eight. That drive, a 13-play march, was stymied by two penalties against A&M, but James sneaked over from the one with 3:27 re maining to cap the drive. McDermott booted his second field goal of the contest from the 31 early in the fourth period and after that Coach Stallings used his bench with regularity. Joe Mac King took over at quarterback on the next series and moved the Ags to score the next two possessions, with the first coming on a 12-yard pass to Thomas Burke and the other on a 49-yard pass from King to Tommy Goodwin. Wichita followed that scoring pass with its most sustained drive of the evening, climaxing it with a 16-yard run by sophomore tail back Marvin Brown. The 80-yard drive took 14 plays with Brown running for 31 and catching a pass for 12 more in the series. The A&M offensive explosion was highlighted with the pass from King to Goodwin, which put the Aggies over the hump at 534 yards. The old mark was 489 yards against SMU in 1968 and the new record was established with an equal effectiveness, both rushing and passing. Nine different backs carried the ball as A&M gained 322 yards. The passing of King and James netted 228 yards. A real bright spot on the part of the Aggies was their ability to move the ball effectively with out a mistake. The Aggies moved the ball for 56, 83, 92, 55 and 52 yard drives for the touchdowns and added to that jaunts of 71, 61 and 63 yards, ending in field goal tries. That kind of offense, plus a defense that limited the Shockers to 272 yards total offense, got the Aggies off to a good start. They will be out to continue that good start when they face the LSU Tigers at Baton Rouge Saturday night.
