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.

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.

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.

8 he will be in New York at the
Football Hall of Fame to receive
a National Football Foundation
Scholar-Athlete award of $500.
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.
