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

to try a 45-yard field goal that
sailed wide of the crossbar, but
Wichita was guilty of holding and
the ball was moved 15 yards closer
to give the Aggies a first down
on the 16.
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-

pered 25 yards with an end
around after the Ags were facing
a second down and 19 from their
41.
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.
