The Fish drove 51 yards in 12 plays, featuring short gains on end runs and the first completed pass by Trimmier, a thirteen yarder, to Harris, but Gene Keith intercepted for the Wogs at the TCU 7 on a pass intended for Eric Elkins to stop that drive. TCU ran seven plays but two penalties and a tough defensive effort by the Fish forced them to punt from their six. That punt against the wind went to the Wog 29. Two plays later Kent Marshall intercepted at the 21 returning it all the way to the A&M 21, a distance of 58 yards. Three plays and a penalty later, Tom Mraz ran four yards for the touchdown. Simmons’ PAT made it 17-7. On the ensuing kickoff the Aggies marched 51 yards but the ball went over on downs following three first downs and the debut of Mike Rigsby, who completed four of nine passes for 32 yards in that drive.

TPLIES For the second straight year, A&M graduate student Jim Ray has won the national champion ship for the Southwest Division of the Sports Car Club of America. Ray drove his “F” Production Triumph Spitfire to two first place wins this year, one at Lake Charles, La., and the other at Texas International Speedway. He set new lap records at both tracks. At Greenvalley Raceway in Dallas and at San Marcos, Ray picked up two second places to boost his season’s total to 30 points. This is Ray’s third year of rac ing and this is his third divisional title in as many years. In 1968 he won the Regional Champion ship for the Southwest Division driving an E Production Porsche. In 1969 he switched to a Triumph Spitfire and won his first national championship for the Southwest Division. This Thanksgiving, Ray and the second and third place cars in his class from the S.W. Division will journey to Road Atlanta to com pete in the American Road Race of Champions (ARRC). It is here that the top 21 cars and drivers in each class from the United States compete to determine who the National Champions will be. Though Ray will have to com pete against factory teams at Atlanta, he will at least be in the running. Ray’s Triumph Spitfire is probably rated in the top five or six cars in the country. Ray is hoping that he can find some local sponsorship to help finance the trip to Atlanta in quest of the National Championship. At the present Ray is a gradu ate student working on his PhD in Marine Biology/Oceanography in the Department of Biology.
