Page 6 College Station, Texas Tuesday, September 21, 1971 THE BATTALION Tigers get revenge while crushing Aggies, 37-0 By JOHN CURYLO At 7:30 p.m. Saturday night, LSU’s football team told the 68,- 576 people in Tiger Stadium that they wanted to win. Unfortu nately, the Texas Aggies couldn’t get a word in edgewise about the outcome. At 10:30 p.m. Saturday night, those 68,576 people were leaving Tiger Stadium, and Coach Charles McClendon’s team had made its point, 37-0. The game started with an ex change of punts, but the Bengals went from their own 21 to the Aggies’ 16 in eight plays, with Jay Michaelson booting the first of three field goals, this one a 33 yarder. Hugh McElroy gave A&M hope, though, returning the kickoff 55 yards to the LSU 41. Only Jim Gainey kept last year’s hero from going all the way. But the Aggies couldn’t make a first down, and Pat McDermott lined up for a 54 yard field goal. The snap from center went past hold er John Gardner, and the Tigers got the ball on the A&M 40. After trading punts, Michael son missed a 48 yard field goal. Clifford Thomas lost four yards, but Lex James hit Ricky Spen cer for 26 yards up the middle. A jarring tackle caused a fum ble, and eight plays later, Paul Lyons hit Ken Kavanaugh on a five yard touchdown pass, cap ping a 42 yard drive. Again the Aggies couldn’t get •started and were forced to punt, and on second and eight at the Tiger 39, Brad Dusek picked off a Lyons aerial. A first down on pass interference was all the of fense they could generate, and Mitch Robertson punted into the end zone. On the first play, Dale Miller dropped the ball when hit by Van Odom, and Bud Trammell covered it at the 25. Only eight yards were made in three plays, and McDermott went in with the ball at the 17, a 33 yard try. He con nected, but a holding penalty nul lified it. His next attempt was blocked, frustrating the Aggies again. A Paul Lyons to Andy Hamil ton pass for a 25 yard touch down was the eighth play of a 59 yard drive. Michaelson’s sec ond conversion made it 17-0. James started to move the team through the air, with passes of 7 to Steve Burks, 21 to Robert Murski, 8 to McElroy, and 17 to Robertson. 29 yards from a touchdown, Warren Capone inter cepted James near the end of the half. A 56 yard punt in the third quarter by Robertson preceded a 45 yard run by Jim Benglis, but LSU settled for a field goal of 35 yards to put them ahead, 20-0. The tough Tiger defense said “no” again, and Robertson did his thing one more time. Benglis took off on the same play from scrimmage, this time for 49 strides. The drive ended with Michaelson tying a school record with his third field goal, a 42 yarder. Jimmy LeDoux was the next Tiger to score, reversing around right end for 28 yards, climaxing a 69 yard drive, and the third period ended 30-0. A Robertson punt gave LSU the pigskin on their own 32, and only the numbers were different this time. Del Walker’s fifth car ry of the 68 yard drive was fol lowed by another Michaelson con version, and the Tigers’ 37 points stood for the remaining ten min utes. After a pair of cancelling punts, A&M moved from midfield to the 9 before Norm Hodgins picked off a James pass at the one and returned it to the 25. The next play gave the Aggies the ball, with Kent Finley recov ering a fumble forced by Mike Lord’s fierce tackle. Touchdown territory eluded the Aggies still another time, as Lloyd Frye intercepted James at the seven, clinching the shutout.

(Photo by Mike Rice) Rick Baehr decides to quit football; plans to drop out of school Wichita State University quar terback Rick Baehr has with drawn from the football squad according to an announcement from head football coach Bob Seaman. “Rick Baehr has withdrawn from the team and will withdraw from Wichita State University in the very near future,” Seaman said in the announcement. “I am shocked at Rick’s deci sion to leave the team but he felt academics needed more of his time so he withdrew from the program,” Seaman said. The an nouncement came Wednesday morning immediately after a meeting with the coaching staff and a fourth meeting with Baehr. Baehr gave his reason for with drawing as academics. “I felt I was giving too much of my time to football and I wasn’t devoting myself to my studies,” Baehr said. “I just don’t have as much interest in football as I use to have. This wasn’t an easy deci sion to make but one that had to be made. I want to get an Environmental Control degree and I’ve lost my desire for ath letics.” Baehr intends to withdraw from Wichita State in the next day or two and transfer to a school nearer his home in Kan sas City, Missouri. “I don’t want to play football again and by quitting football I’ll have to watch my finances a bit closer. As a result, I in tend to withdraw and go to a school in Missouri where I’ll be closer to home, and since I’ll be making my own way, I will have to work.” Seaman indicated his disap pointment about the loss of Baehr but felt “Rick has every right to be concerned about his future and I respect his desire to be a student first. His loss did come at an inopportune time for us but we’ll overcome it.” •WHEN YOU member BEVERLEY BRALEY UNIVERSITY TRAVEL SWC results from Saturday Texas 28—UCLA 10 USC 24—Rice 0 TCC 42—UT at Arlington 0 Kansas 22—Baylor 0 New Mexico 13—Texas Tech 10 Arkansas 31—Oklahoma St. 10 Arizona State 18—Houston 17 Oklahoma 30—SMU 0 THERE’S NO TURNING BACK NOW ...
