was disproved Saturday night in
Kyle Field when the Aggies lost
to Cincinnati, 17-0.
The A&M defense held the
powerful Bearcat ground game
to eight first downs and 177
yards and no touchdowns, as op
posed to the 247 they ran for
each game a year ago. Passing,
they completed three for 27
yards.
Yet, the Aggie offense could
muster but a little more, in addi
tion to numerous mistakes that
gave the visitors good field posi
tion.
The bad bounces and dreaded
breaks were prevalent through
out, starting in the first quarter

when Mitch Robertson was back
to punt. The pass from center
bounced to him, and he was
tackled at the A&M 13. The de
fense held, though, and a penalty
left Cincy with fourth and 35
from the 38 after six plays.
Grady Hoermann broke through
to partially block the punt, but
the ball still rolled to the Aggie
11. Three plays later, Mark
Green fumbled, and the Bearcats
were at the 17. The defense held,
forcing the 22 yard field goal by
Mike Schmitt.
Early in the second quarter,
Cincinnati was forced to punt,
and Hugh McElroy took it on the
22. He ran to the right sideline
behind the blocking wall, cut back
while breaking tackles, and went
into the endzone. A clipping pe
nalty moved the ball back to the
Aggie 28.
Cincy settled for a 36 yard
Schmitt field goal nine plays
after a Robertson punt died on
the A&M 48, and it was 6-0 with
7:56 to play in the half. At this
point, Coach Gene Stallings chose
to use Tim Trimmier at quarter
back, but he was no more suc
cessful than his classmate. On
his second series of downs, he
threw an interception on first
down, but no apparent damage
was done, since the defense rose
to the occasion.
However, Trimmier started to
move the team with a 13 yard run
by Marc Black, a 16 yard aerial
to McElroy and a nine yard run
by Black again. They were faced
with fourth and 12 on their own

34 with 10 seconds left in the
half, and Robertson lined up to
punt. A mixup on blocking as
signments caused it to be blocked
by Mike Hilliard, who ran it in
for the touchdown. Kas Oganow-
ski hit Gary Jenkins for the two-
point pass play to make it 14-0.
The Bearcats couldn’t make a
first down in the third quarter,
but A&M’s two quarterbacks
couldn’t spark much more, the
only real action being an ex
change of fumbles and an unsuc
cessful field goal attempt.
Cincy moved from their own
33 to the Aggie 26 in 13 plays
early in the last period, with Stan
Casola booting a 43 yard three
pointer. This 17-0 score was the
final score, but Trimmier moved
the team to the 19 one time, the
18 another, and as far as the op
ponents’ 9 still another time. An
interception, a fumble, and the
end of the game kept him from
putting it across.
Black led all runners with 51
yards in 10 tries. Trimmier com
pleted seven of 20 for 109 yards,
three of which McElroy caught
for 69 yards, including one for 43
in the fourth quarter.

AUSTIN, Tex. <A>>—Coach Dar
rell Royal, dejected over the loss
of Texas’ top pass receiver and
one of its best runners, said Mon
day upcoming Oklahoma is as
good as any college team in the
nation.
“It’s the best Oklahoma team
since I’ve been coaching here at
Texas,” said Royal, who started
coaching the Longhorns in 1957.
“I sincerely believe they are the
equal of anybody in the nation.”
Royal told his regular weekly
news conference he was sure
quarterback Eddie Phillips, who
has not played much since the
opener against UCLA, and swift
receiver Jim Moore will miss the
Sooner game.
Phillips, ailing with a pulled
leg muscle for over a month, hurt
it again in Texas’ 35-7 victory
over Oregon last Saturday, and
Moore injured his knee. Royal
said Phillips’ leg was “more sore
and more painful” than at any
time this season.
He said he would be “tickled to
death” if Phillips or Moore are
in good enough shape to play
against Arkansas Oct. 16. He
said he did not know if Phillips’
pulled muscle would keep him out
a week or six weeks.
Senior Donnie Wigginton will
replace Phillips again at quarter
back, and Pat Kelly, a sopho-

more, will fill in for Moore, the
fastest player on the squad with
4.4-second speed for 40 yards.
On defense, safety Tommy
Landry has a sore shoulder and
linebacker Glenn Gaspard has a
stiff wrist, Royal said.
Defensive ends Stan Mauldin
and David Arledge will not play
against Oklahoma either because
of injuries.
Royal mentioned the 516 yards
Oklahoma gained rushing against
tough Southern California last
Saturday and said, “I hope we
can keep them under 500.”
Texas and Oklahoma have 3-0
records.
“They have an excellent opera
tor in quarterback Jack Mildren
and unbelievable speed in their
two halfbacks” — Joe Wylie and
Greg Pruitt, Royal said.
Where are they getting their
yardage, Royal was asked.
“Wide,” he replied. “They turn
5 into 25 yards just like that,”
and he snapped his fingers.
Royal described Oklahoma’s de-
f e n s e as “quick, aggressive,
strong.” Defensive end Raymond
Hamilton, 6 feet 1 inch and 237
pounds, “is phenomenal,” Royal
said.
“There is not a phase of the
game Oklahoma has not played
well,” Royal said. “They’ve got
talent, they are confident, they’ve
got it going for them . . . like
high water over level ground . . .
or maybe downhill ground.”
