(Photo by Steve Bryant) Texas stabilizes ranking By CLIFFORD BROYLES Battalion Sports Editor The University of Texas at Austin Longhorns kept their claim to the number one ranking in the national wire service polls intact Thursday with a resound ing victory over the Texas Aggies lefore an estimated 66,600 fans Memorial Stadium. The game also had a sidelight provided by about 60 members of the Aggie senior line who carried Coach Gene Stallings on their ihoulders across the field to the Aggie bench to show their sup port of the head coach, who was liter constant pressure and ru mors had made it almost certain that he would not. A&M President Jack K. Wil liams put an end to the rumors last week before the traditional encounter. “Contrary to various so-called dose-to-the-situation reports we ire not contemplating a coaching jthange,” he said. The Longhorns proceeded to do what was expected as the Aggies inmbled the ball away early. The Aggies gave the ball up six times during the game on fum bles, and with the Texas offense showing its potency that was a ieadly mistake. It was similar to the Ohio State game when the Aggies gave up five hobbled pig skins. The Longhorns and Buckeyes now are the only two undefeated We pay half. You pay the other. major colleges with a shot at the mythical national championship in the Associated Press and Unit ed Press International polls. The Buckeyes are home free on an undefeated regular season with a Rose Bowl berth against Stanford next for the Big Ten champions, but for Texas the road that has 29 victories stretch ed across it has Arkansas wait ing right in the middle for the head-on collision that will decide the Southwest Conference winner and the opposition for Notre Dame in the 1971 Cotton Bowl game. The wind again was a factor as it was in the Rice game, but Jimmy Sheffield, punting in his final game for the Aggies, put on a super show, while the Long horns showed they do have a weakness in their punting game. Sheffield booted five of his eight kicks into a wind that gust- ed from 16 to 29 miles per hour and kicked for a 47 yard average, while Alan Lowry got off kicks of 7, 11, and 23 yards to make his total distance for three kicks less than the average of every kick by the Aggie senior. Sheffield went into the game second to defending NCAA punt ing champion Ed Marsh of Baylor and Thursday’s performance could be good enough to give him the punting crown, although official statistics have not been released. Another standout performance was made in his final game by free safety Dave Elmendorf, who intercepted two passes — giving him a season total of six and a career mark of 12, which betters by one the most ever picked off by an Aggie defender. The Longhorns took advantage of Aggie errors in the contest to roll on with fumble recoveries at the Texas 39 and A&M gave the Longhorns the golden opportunity that awarded them 14 points in a matter of a minute and 25 sec onds. Both of those bobbles came aft er the Aggies had gained yard age and were not necessarily caused by hard hitting. Lex James used the option to move the Aggies down the field. After guiding the Aggies to the Texas 46, he picked up the first down, was hit by Bill Zapalac and Texas recovered the fumble. Then the mastery of the Texas triple option went to work with the Aggies nailing Jim Bertel- son after only a yard gain before Eddie Phillips ripped off 23 yards on a keeper. Poor Aggie tackling was evi dent on the TD play, as Phillips was caught at the five on a play that could have given the Ags the ball on downs, but he squirted through. On the first play following that Marc Black went through the Texas line for 18 yards to the 40 hut fumbled as he fell and Texas took over. Bland Smith, who had a hard- luck day from his comerhack post, then was called for pass interference while defending against Danny Lester at the Tex as five. Two plays later Bertelson went over one of those holes you could drive a truck through. Smith also was the victim of a sensational diving catch by Lester on the next drive that set up an 18-yard strike to Lester for a touchdown. A little later in the half he batted down a Phillips pass only to have the ball fall into the hands of Lester, who leisurely stepped into the end zone for another score. It was a new twist for the Texas offense, one that could pay big dividends Saturday against Arkansas. Most people who favor Arkan sas either hate Texas or feel the Hogs balanced offense will pre^ vail over the ’Horns running game. Texas passed for 217 yards Thursday and they also ran for 386 more, amassing 603 yards. THE BATTALION Tuesday, December 1, 1970 College Station, Texas Page 5 Elmendorf named All - American J. C. (Jim) Harris THE BUG SHOP, Inc. 1911 So. College Ave. Bryan,Texas 77801 Phone 822-5383 By JOHN CURYLO Assistant Sports Editor Dave Elmendorf, the senior from Houston Westbury, has been named to the 1970 Look Magazine All America football team. One of three Southwest Con ference players to be picked, El mendorf is in Los Angeles for the filming of the presentation of the elite group on the Bob Hope tele vision special to be seen Monday night on national television at 8 p.m. (CST). The top vote-getter was Larry DiNardo, offensive guard of Notre Dame. The team was picked by the Football Writers Association of America. Jim Stillwagon, defensive guard for Ohio State, was picked to be the recipient of the Outland Trophy, which is awarded to the outstand ing interior lineman in the coun try. There are three repeaters from last year’s team: Texas’ Steve Worster, a running back, Ten nessee’s Chip Kell, an offensive guard, and Ohio State’s John Tatum. Only two members of the 23-man squad are juniors: Tom Gatewood, Notre Dame of fensive end, and Marv Bateman, Utah kicking specialist. In addition to Elmendorf and Worster, the other S W C star was defensive tackle Bruce James of Arkansas. The only other Texans besides Elmendorf and Worster was offensive end Elmo Wright of Houston. This is the second national recognition in his career for El mendorf, who was named to the All-America academic team last spring for baseball. As a center fielder, he has been All-SWC twice. In addition, he was All- SWC in football last year. An economics major, the 6-1, 190 pounder was All-State and All-American in high school foot ball. Following his prep career, he was drafted by the Alanta Braves for baseball, hut he de cided to come to A&M, where he has excelled in football, baseball, and in the clasroom. In football, Elmendorf has played tailback, fullback, line backer, defensive halfback, and safety. He has also been the punt and kickoff returner for the Ag gies. He is A&M’s nominee for the Kern Tipps Trophy, and Dec. SWC standings Freshman Team W L Pet.

His long-range goal in life is to be a corporation lawyer. Elmendorf has received praise from pros and opponents alike. Several pro teams have indicated the great impression he has made both as a defender and return specialist. His talent and interest in baseball could cause a bidding war for his professional services when the pro draft is completed. Following the Michigan game this year, coach Bo Schembech- ler said, “If I had a gun, I’d have shot him. He was in on every play.” Coach Gene Stallings, who says that Elmendorf is a quality ball player who always plays well, says, “Everything he does has class.” He is blessed with speed, size, and unusual intelligence. He also has quick acceleration, physical toughness, and great body bal ance. With everything going for him, it’ll be quite a while before the honors end for A&M’s All- American, Dave Elmendorf.
