The first Fish score came on a 27-yard pass from Don Dean to Ricky Ford early in the second quarter. Less than five minutes later, the Fish scored again on a 73-yard run from scrimmage by Fielder. With only 21 seconds left in the half, the Fish struck off the toe of John Schluens from the five yard line to make the score at half 17-0. Texas A&M did the only dam age in the third quarter with a 49-yard drive in 7 plays. For the Wogs, the fourth per iod was the only ray of sunshine. They scored early in the quarter with a seven yard run by Mike Luttrell. The drive started at the A&M 30-yard line after a Mike Newton interception. Fielder took rushing honors for the game with 117 yards on 16 carries. TCU’s Merry Drennan led the Wogs with 74 yards on 16 carries and Luttrell ran for 58 yards in 16 tries. Don Dean led all passers by completing six of 13 passes for 86 yards. Drennan threw 13 times, completing four for 64 yards. TCU got one first down on their second series on a five yard off sides penalty by the Fish. The drive stalled on the Wog 17 where Greg Anderson got off a 48-yard punt to the Fish 43. On the first play from scrim mage, Dean threw an intercep tion to Chester Young and the Wogs had a big chance to score from the A&M 38. The Fish defense held, driving the Wogs back to the 50-yard line. Rick Isel tried a 57-yai'd field goal but was short. A&M took over at its own 10 and could not move the football. On a third and five situation, Jerry Honore broke out to the 21 for a first down. The very next play, Allen Anderson was given the call only to fumble and give TCU its third big chance to cross Phillips not well; Wigginton to start AUSTIN (A 5 )—Quarterback Ed die Phillips will not play against Oklahoma Saturday, Texas coach Darrell Royal said near the end of Thursday’s workout. Phillips, the best-running quar terback Royal says he has coach ed, apparently recovered miracu lously Wednesday from a ham string muscle pull that has plagued him for weeks, and he started Thursday’s light workout peppery and without a limp, but an hour later he began to favor it. Royal watched Phillips like an eagle from atop his three-story tower, descended when he saw him begin to slow up and talked it over with him for several min utes on the field while Phillips massaged the back of his left thigh. “He can’t go,” Royal said as he returned to the sideline. “That thing’s bothering him up high where the pull is. And he hasn’t even done anything. He’s just trotting. We’re definitely going to start Donnie.” He referred to his vestpocket second-string quarterback, Donnie Wigginton, 5-foot-8 and 163 pounds.

The Aggies then drove from the A&M 34-yard line to the Wog 27, where the situation stood at fourth and three. The Fish went for it with a pass from Dean to Ricky Ford which resulted in a touchdown with 6:44 left in the half. With third and 16 from the 27, Dean gave the ball to Fielder on a draw play. Fielder weaved through a hole made by the right guard and traveled 73 yards for a touchdown. The kick was good by Schluens, with 1:56 left in the half.
