Owls rally past Aggies on windy Kyle field
By CLIFFORD BROYLES
Battalion Sports Editor
The Texas Aggies and Rice
Owls drove for one touchdown
each, took advantage of one fum
ble to get another each and
moved to get field goals with the
wind from more than forty yards
Saturday, but circumstances caus
ed the Owls to go for two after
their first touchdown.
That gave them a one-point
victory and kept the Aggies won
dering what it takes to win.
The game was about as evenly
matched as you could get and
the only two lost fumbles turned
the momentum of the contest.
Winds gusting up to 20 miles
an hour at the outset caused the
Owls to give A&M the football
first and take advantage of the
wind on the Astroturf that re
sembled a sponge after Friday
rains.
The Owls took advantage of
the wind early and kicked a field
goal on their first possession.
The Aggies were forced to punt
with the wind staring them in
the face.
Jimmy Sheffield, who has been
well scouted by the pros because
of his ability to kick the ball
high, launched one but the wind
caught it and the Owls took over
after the ball traveled 26 yards.
Mark Williams kicked a 44-
yard field goal a few minutes
later, which was his first of the
year in the Owls’ ninth game.
Later in the game, the Owls got
another scoring first when John
Cardwell scored the first Rice
touchdown late in the third quar
ter, his first of the year.
The Owls fumbled first in the
contest and between that miscue
and the Aggies’ midway in the
third quarter the momentum of
the game belonged to the Aggies
and it looked as though they were
certain to break the drought that
started on that overcast day in
September at Columbus, Ohio,
eight weeks ago.
Defensive end James Dubcak
was double trouble for the Owls
on that fumble, as he forced it by
cracking tailback Stable Vincent
rather harshly and then came up
with the fumble recovery after a
wild scramble for the ball.
That fumble recovery gave
A&M possession at the Owl 25.
Getting their best running per
formance of the season since
their opener with Wichita State,
the Aggies pushed across the go-
ahead touchdown on a two-yard
scamper by Steve Burks.
Rice caught the brunt of the
wind in the second quarter and
Bucky Allshouses’ punt sailed
only 24 yards late in the half to
give A&M field position at the
Rice 48.
That led to Pat McDermott’s
44-yard field goal with 1:23 left
in the half.
The first half performance was
certainly encouraging for the Ag
gies, who had netted 100 yards
rushing—and their per game
average before the contest was
only 91 yards.
The most sustained drive of
the contest followed the second
half kickoff and the Aggies
marched 80 yards with quarter
back Joe Mac King passing to
tight end Homer May on a
fourth-and-four play at the Rice
11 for the touchdown.
Lex James, not yet fully re
covered from an elbow injury in
the S M U game, watched the
game from the sidelines in street
clothes.
King burst through for a 39-
yard run in the drive and the
Aggies looked sharp as they con
verted on some crucial plays in
the drive.
Steve Burks made the first to
give A&M their first first down
of the drive and Brad Dusek
came through with a five-yard
gain on fourth-and-two at the
Rice 21.
The Aggie defense, fired up by
the 17-3 lead, then held the Owls
to a down and Winston Beam
and Dubcak kayoed second-team
quarterback Bruce Gadd for an
eight-yard loss on a third down.
At this point things were look
ing extremely good for the Ma
roon and White cause.
But four plays after the Rice
punt, A&M fumbled at their 23.
Gadd, who replaced Phillip
Wood at quarterback when he
proved ineffective passing de
spite being a top runner, com
pleted a 14-yard pass to Larry
Caldwell at the eight and when
the Aggies were accused of hit
ting late the officials moved it
half the distance to the four. An
offsides penalty on A&M on the
first play erased a run for no
gain by Wood.
Cardwell got his touchdown on
his second try from the two and
then the Owls were faced with a
difficult situation.
They trailed 17-9 late in the
third period. If they went for
one they would trail by seven and
another touchdown would leave
them with a similar choice.
The Owls went for two and
moved within six points of the
lead at 17-11.
That proved to be costly, as
the now fired-up Owls moved for
the go-ahead touchdown early in
the fourth quarter.
The majority of the winning
drive came with the Owls having
advantage of the wind and Gadd
again in at quarterback.
, He passed to Gary Butler and
Macon Hughes for first downs
after the Owls had taken advan
tage of Sheffield’s wind hindered
29 yard punt.
Those two completions moved
the Owls to the A&M 21. They
seemed to be trying for every
inch they could get while they
still had the advantage with the
wind.
The Aggies apparently felt the
same thing as Rice worked a
draw play for eight yards to the
13 on the final play of the quar
ter.
By now the Owls were close
enough not to worry about the
wind and Hughes got the score
from the three on a fourth down
pitch.
Thanks to the two-point con
version William’s PAT after that
score gave Rice the lead, 18-17.
The Aggies had the wind the
final quarter but were never able
to muster a real big threat as the
wind blew harder and the tem
perature continued to drop.

A
tries go short and wide in the
final period. The first, a 46-
yarder, came early in the stanza
and the second ended all Aggie
hopes with 43 seconds to play
from 55 yards out.
The Aggies valiantly battled
for position, as it was felt if they
got the ball within any reason
able distance of the goal posts,
with the aid of the wind, McDer
mott could reach it.
Bland Smith got a piece of
Allshouse’ punt with his elbow
and the Aggies got their chance
at the Rice 48 with 1:20 to play.
King fired a 13-yard pass to
Herr on the first play and five
seconds expired, but then the play
that decided the battle came as
King was nailed for a loss o£ nine
on first down.
The Aggies never recovered
and McDermott’s long field goal
try failed.
A&M showed marked improve
ment on defense where the Owls
were held to 210 yards while the
Aggie offense picked up 251.
Rushing game was a pleasant
surprise as Brad Dusek followed
improved blocking for 48 yards.
Steve Burks had 45, Marc Black
42, King 37 and Neill 15 yards.
Add it all together and it came
out wrong for the Aggies on the
scoreboard and that’s where it
counts.
Air Force takes
Sugar Bowl bid
NEW ORLEANS (A>)_The Air
Force Academy, the nation’s No.
10 team, accepted Monday an in
vitation to play in the Sugar
Bowl on New Year’s Day, to meet
a yet-to-be-named opponent.
The Air Force has won nine
and lost one—that a 46-35 set
back to Oregon. The Falcons so
lidified their position as a bowl
candidate last Saturday when
they trimmed Stanford 31-14.
Stanford will represent the Pa
cific-8 in the Rose Bowl.
The New Orleans Midwinter
Sports Association, sponsor of
the Sugar Bowl, announced the
acceptance of the invitation.
It will be the third trip to a
postseason bowl for the Falcons,
who played Texas Christian to a
scoreless tie in the Cotton Bowl
in 1958—their second varsity sea
son—and lost 35-0 to North Caro
lina in 1963.
