THE BATTALION
Aggies dominate Wichita, 41-7
By JOHN CURYLO
Battalion Sports Editor
“The long and winding road,
That leads to your door,
Will never disappear;
I’ve seen that road before. .
The Beatles probably weren’t
thinking of Gene Stallings and
his football team when they re
corded that song, but Saturday
night’s 41-7 victory was much
more elusive than the end of
the road.
It was nearly a year ago that
A&M defeated LSU for the last
football game the Aggies had
won prior to this year’s Wichita
State win.
Doug Neill carried five times
for 48 yards, but two of those
runs were for touchdowns. Quar
terback Lex James saw limited
action, but he hit paydirt first on
a three yard run off right end
in the second quarter. James also
passed to Joey Herr at the begin
ning of the second half for A&M’s
fourth TD. Then, in the last pe
riod, Doug Robbins burst over
left guard for a one-yard score.
With only seconds remaining, Joe
Mac King went around the left
for four yards to end the point
production for the Aggies.
The first period saw A&M
move to the Shocker nine yard
line, but they were unable to
score. The defense succeeded in
holding Wichita to two first
downs in three possessions, but
the fireworks began in the sec
ond quarter.
A 50 yard punt by Mitch Rob
ertson opened the period, but on
the first Shocker play, Rick Baehr
fumbled, and Brad Dusek fell on
it at the Wichita 17. Cliff Thomas,
Marc Black and James carried
for four yard each. Then Steve
Burks was stopped at the line
of scrimmage, followed by a two
yard gain by Black to the three.
On the sixth play of the drive,
James followed key blocks by
Neill and Todd Christopher to
slip untouched into the end zone.
Pat McDermott’s conversion made
it 7-0 with 12:09 left.
After an exchange of punts,
the Shockers moved to the Aggie
42. Dusek played an important
part again, intercepting a Baehr
pass at the line of scrimmage
and returning it two yards. Nine
plays and one penalty later, Neill
plunged one yard for the touch
down. The 56 yard drive featured
two passes to Herr, one for 10
yards and the other for 28 on
two broken tackles. Burks hit
left end for 11 before Homer
May was interfered with in the
endzone, setting up Neill’s run
with 4:03 to go in the half.
Unable to get started after the
kickoff, the Shockers punted, giv
ing A&M the ball at the Wichita
44. With Tim Trimmier at the
helm, Thomas went off right end
for 18. Ricky Spencer caught one
of Trimmier’s passes for 15 yards,
putting the Aggies on the 12. An
incomplete pass preceded a two
yard run by Robbins and a seven
yard keeper by Trimmier. Neill
capped the six play drive with a
two yard score. McDermott made
it 21-0 with his third point after,
and that’s how the half ended.
The break didn’t stop A&M’s
momentum, though, as Hugh Mc-
Elroy returned the second half
kickoff 24 yards to the Aggie 30.
Neill went up the middle for 14.
James’ completion to Robert
Murski was good for five to mid-
field. Then Neill broke loose for
27 more yards off left tackle, and
Burks got six on the other side.
The identical play by the Dumas
senior put the ball nine yards
closer at the nine. James was hit
for a loss of seven, then he threw
to Herr out of bounds. The Ag
gies were not to be denied, though,
as Herr took a pass from James
and broke from Tony Marshall
for the touchdown. The try for
the extra point was wide, and the
70 yard-eight play drive left the
score 27-0.
Unable to get a first down
again, Wichita punted, giving
A&M the pigskin 35 yards from a
touchdown. Thomas lost two, and
Trimmier hit Spencer for 12.
Black got four up the middle, but
the Aggies bogged down. A high
pass from center on the field
goal attempt forced McDermott
to throw the ball, but the aerial
was intercepted by John Hoheisel.
Five plays later, Charles Billings
ley retaliated. Fourteen plays and
two penalties after that, A&M
had another touchdown.
Some short runs by Thomas,
Trimmier, and Black moved the
ball, but the highlights were a
22 yard pass to Spencer and a
pair of sweeps by Trimmier, the
first for 21 and the other for 12.
The scoring play was a straight
ahead run from the one by Rob-
JOEY HERR SCORES a touchdown for A&M in the third quarter Saturday night as the
Aggies whipped Wichita State 41-7 in Kyle Field. The play was good for 16 yards after
Herr broke from cornerback Tony Marshall (39). (Photo by Joe Matthews)

bins, finishing the 69 yard drive.
McDermott added the bonus,
boosting the total to 34-0.
Tom Owen then moved his
team 80 yards in nine plays, pass
ing every time. His fifth comple
tion was to Jeff Moore for a
touchdown from the 19. John
Potts added the PAT, making it
34-7.
McElroy returned the kickoff
20 yards to the 23, and King got
another chance to move the squad.
It took 15 plays, four of them for
first downs. A 14 yard pass to
Thomas Burke for 14, a Robbins
run for nine, a pass to Tommy
Goodwin for 22, and another one
for 17 were the big plays, but
shorter runs by Gary Whitehead
and Robbins put the ball on the
four. King swept left end for the
last tally, Payan’s kick producing
the final score.
In all, 70 Aggies played, ex
ceeding the goal of 50 set by
Stallings. Neill’s 48 yards led
A&M, but WSU’s Randy Jackson
gained 50 on 13 tries. Trimmier
finished with 46, running six
times. Burks netted 36 yards,
Thomas 34, Robbins 27, and
Black 24. A&M totalled 246 rush
ing on 63 plays.
Of 26 passes, 12 were complet
ed by the three quarterbacks. The
only interception came on McDer
mott’s desperation heave. James
was six of 12 for 85 yards, Trim
mier three of five for 49, and
King three of eight for 53.
The leading receiver was Herr,
who caught four for 73. Spencer
got 49 yards from his three re
ceptions, and Goodwin hauled in
a pair for 39 yards.
It was a good night for the
Aggies, who simply “out-depth-
ed” Wichita. The Shockers showed
promise, hut the lack of a good
enough second unit will hurt
them.
357 days had elapsed since the
previous A&M football victory,
but the 1971 Aggies showed that
the road to the next win won’t
be quite so long or nearly as
winding.
