They weren’t the same team, and the Southern Methodist Mus tangs will testify to that, as A&M won its third straight con ference game, 27-d.O. Mark Green set a school record and a new conference standard, carrying 41 times for 158 yards and two touchdowns. The old rec ords were 33 carries by Wendell Housley in the 1966 Baylor game, and SMU’s Mike Richardson with 39 in the Mustangs’ win over A&M in 1969. Gary Hammond lived up to his publicity, but the Aggies made him pay the price, as the senior quarterback carried 19 times for 49 yards and completed seven of 11 passes for 88 yards. Doug Neill ran 10 times for 61 yards and Joe Mac King hit on five of seven passes for 117 yards and one touchdown. Homer May was the leading receiver with two catches for 68 yards. A&M dominated the battle, combining the ever-tough defense with an offense that moved the ball with authority. It was a fine day for the of fensive line, who were able to open gaping holes for Green and Neill and provide King with ample time to throw. Tackles Ralph Sacra and Buster Calla way, guards Leonard Forey and Todd Christopher and center Skip Kuehn were credited with having their best game thus far. The Aggies got started im mediately, with Green carrying for 30 yards the first five plays. The initial possession ended with a 28 yard field goal by Pat Mc Dermott, and six minutes had gone by before SMU ran a play from scrimmage. After an exchange of punts, Hammond hit tight end Paul Bradley for 37 yards, but the k. ^-'<1 Vol. i % 5 mm Is ANOTHER AGGIE TOUCHDOWN by Mark Green (20) merits a big cheer from the A&M bench. The sophomore tailback set new school and conference records by carrying the ball 41 times for 158 yards and two touchdowns. Here, Green makes the final score on a nine yard run. (Photo by Joe Matthews) Ponies had to settle for a 32 yard field goal by Chipper Johnson to tie the score. A&M got moving the next time they had the ball, going 65 yards in nine plays. King’s first pass came on the initial play of the second quarter, a 25 yarder to Robert Murski. May caught one for 16 yards, and Green went over from the four for the touch down. McDermott’s extra point made it 10-3. Later in the period, the Aggies had the ball at their own 20 after a punt. Neill ran for 10 and three and Green got three, before King hit May with a perfectly timed aerial for 52 yards.

Three plays later, McDermott made a 25 yard field goal to make it 13-3. After the kickoff, Hammond pitched to tailback Alvin Max- son, but the toss squirted away from him, and Brad Dusek re covered it at the SMU 22. Green ran for four before King hit wingback Billy Joe Polasek with another well-placed bomb. Po lasek, starting his first game in place of the injured Joey Herr, went across with 6:19 to go in the half. McDermott did his thing again, and it was 20-3 for the Aggies. Hammond was hurt a few plays later, but Billy Weather ford handed off to Maxson, who raced 51 yards around the right side. It appeared that most of the players on the field thought the sophomore went out of Intramural champ to be determined The Class C basketball cham pionship will be played tonight with an added attraction before the game.

FOR BEST RESULTS TRY BATTALION CLASSIFIED bounds, so there was no pursuit and no blocking once he had gone about ten yards. Johnson’s conversion gave the intermission score of 20-10. By this time, Green had gone 98 yards in 22 carries, and King had completed five of six for 117 yards. The Aggies had 272 yards, to 135 for SMU, with A&M get ting more first downs, 14-4. The Aggies moved to the 12 in the third quarter, but McDer mott’s try for a record-breaking three field goals in a game was unsuccessful when the Dallas junior missed a 29 yarder. Later in the period, Lee Hitt intercepted a Hammond pass, took a few steps and fumbled it. Grady Hoermann fell on it, and the officials ruled that it was A&M’s ball on the 35 of SMU. Thrown helmets and loud argu ments by some of the Mustangs failed to alter the decision. Eight plays later, Neill and May threw a pair of key blocks at the line of scrimmage, and Green went nine yards for an other touchdown. On the drive, he broke Housley’s record. Mc Dermott’s third point after gave the final score with 14:56 re maining. The defenders took over from there, and attempts by SMU to move the ball were thwarted by the rushing and tackling of Boice Best, the pursuit by David Hoot and Hitt, and the pass coverage of Bland Smith. The Mustangs moved to the Aggie seven at one time, but Maxson was separated from the ball by Hoermann, and Hitt re covered it at the A&M six. Popelka had a busy day for SMU, making 21 tackles. Sher wood Blount had 15, and Cleve Whitener made 10, plus a fum ble recovery and two passes broken up. Hoermann made 13 tackles, and Max Bird had 11.
