THE BATTAUOI
Fish down Tech Picadors in closing minutes, 15-lfl
Texas A&M refused three times
to take advantage of Texas Tech
gifts in the third quarter only
to erase a 10-7 Picador lead with
four minutes left in the game
with a 54 yard drive in 10 plays
to take their third SWC freshman
win, 15-10, here Thursday night.
Tech had taken the lead by
driving 88 yards in 17 plays, eat
ing up eight minutes on the clock,
with a 31-yard field goal by Pat
Henderson with 4:17 left in the
game.
A&M bounced right back with
its drive following a 39-yard re
turn by Allen Anderson, where
Don Dean took over to direct the
Fish the rest of the way to pay
dirt with 1:01 left in the final
stanza.
The kicking game was the
downfall of the Tech Picadors as
Sidney Fielder took the opening
game kickoff 87 yards for the first
score and A1 Thurmond carried
the ball 74 yards after a Lee
Poulter punt to the Tech 12, but
the defense stiffened to rub out

a score. Thurmond also caught
six passes for 89 yards to keep
the fans on their feet.
Tech won the statistical battle,
gaining 331 total yards to the
Fish 221. In first downs, Tech
gained 23 to the Aggies’ 11.
A&M’s only bright spots were in
passing, where Dean threw for
115 yards, and in return yardage.
In rushing, however, the Picadors
gained 322 yards to 124 for the
Fish.
Jerry Honore led the Fish rush
ers, carrying the pigskin 10 times
for 57 yards. John Bounds took
runner-up honors, carrying 18
times for 45 yards.
Tech’s Sammy Green led all
ground gainers, carrying 18 times
for 124 yards. Lawrence Williams
netted 67 yards on 21 carries, but
was caught numerous times be
hind his line by onrushing Fish
linemen, which dropped his yard
age considerably.
Williams hit five of 11 for 60
yards, with his favorite receiver
being Jeff Jobe who hauled in
four for 52 yards.
It took Fielder only 11 seconds
to break into the scoring column
with a superb 87 yard return of
Pat Henderson’s opening game
kickoff. Honore threw the key
block to clear the way. The kick
by John Schluens was good and
the Fish took an early 7-0 lead.
Tech tied the score six seconds
into the second quarter when
Picador quarterback Williams ran
23 yards on a keeper when all
his receivers were covered. The
kick was good as the score stood
7-7.
Tech’s Gary Bartel set up the
score when he recovered an erant
pitch from Dean to Fielder at the
A&M 25.
A&M’s first sustained drive of
the evening was prematurely halt
ed with Richard Salley’s inter
ception of a Dean pass intended
for Thurmond at the Tech 26.
The remainder of the second
quarter went by without any ma
jor offensive drives, with the
exception of Tech’s drive from
their own 38 to the Fish 23, where
Henderson’s field goal try was
wide to the left with 19 seconds
remaining in the half. This drive
was highlighted by Williams pass
ing to Jobe twice for 30 yards.
Tech led the half in statistics,
having 10 first downs and 159
yards total offense. Williams
threw five times, completing
three for 121 yards while the
running lanes accounted for the
remaining 38.
A&M could amass only six first
downs on 111 total yards. Sixty-
seven of these yards were on the
ground, while Dean’s three of
nine completions added 44 paces.
Turnovers were the big factor
in the first half as A&M lost both
a fumble and an interception,
while Tech had no turnovers,
though fumbling three times.
Tech’s defensive unit rose to

the occasion after A1 Thurmond’s
electrifying 74 yard runback of
Lee Poulter’s punt to the Picador
12-yard line. A&M ran two off-
tackle plays for naught and Dean
overthrew Bounds in the end-
zone before Schluens was called
in for a field goal try. The kick
was wide to the right and the
score stood 7-7 with six minutes
left to go in the third quarter.
A&M was given another prime
opportunity to score when middle
guard Dennis Henderson recover
ed a Cliff Hoskins fumble at the
Picador 34-yard line. Dean’s first
play, a pass to Thurmond, result
ed in a turnover when the ball
was jarred loose after the recep
tion at the Tech 16.
Tech tried a third time to give
A&M more points on the score-
board but again the Fish refused.
Williams fumbled while retreat
ing to pass, and Fish defensive
tackle Don Fortenberry recovered
at the A&M 42. Dean’s passes
netted the Tech 38 before the
drive bogged down and Steve
Canted had to punt.
Canter’s punt went to the 12-
yard line where Tech mounted
the first sustained drive of the
night, going 88 yards in 17 plays
and consumed eight full minutes
on the clock. The drive, however,
got no further than the 14, where
Henderson kicked a 31-yard field
goal which put the Picadors
ahead 10-7 with only 4:07 remain
ing in the ball game.
Anderson returned the kickoff
39 yards to the A&M 47, where
the Fish began their offensive
heroics. Dean’s mixing of passing
and running plays carried the
Fish over the Tech goal line with
1:01 left in the game. Bounds
carried the final yard for the
score. Big plays were passes from
Dean to Thurmond which account
ed for 37 of the 53 yards used to
score. A&M went for two with a
pass from Dean to Thurmond and
the final score stood 15-10 when
the final gun sounded.

Season’s end near
for cross country
Texas A&M’s cross country
team closes out its 1971 season
Monday at the Southwest Confer
ence Meet in Dallas.
Aggie senior Frank Ybarbo is
one of the favorites to win the
individual title. Joining Ybarbo
in the lineup will be senior Jim
Haynie, junior Dennis O’Brien,
and freshmen Danny Jones, Kevin
Mulligan, and Billy Arndt.
“We just don’t have the depth
to compete for the team title,”
coach Ted Nelson said, “but I
know our runners will make a
jgood showing. They’ve worked
very hard this fall, some running
as many as 100 miles a week.”
SMU is favored to win its
fourth straight title with Texas
and Rice as the top challengers.
The meet will be run on a four-
mile course at the Forest Hill
Golf Club beginning at 1:30 p.m.

WHAT ARE
YOU
READING?
Last year thousands of new books were
published in America. Some are already for
gotten. Others became best-sellers. Yet the best
selling book of all time is probably not listed in
your weekly book review.
This book is the Bible. It contains the record
of God's love for mankind and His wish to rec
oncile man to Himself through Jesus Christ. That's
quite an order, isn't it?
To understand the meaning of life and our
relation to God, we cannot lightly scan the pages
of this Book like a recent novel. In fact, we must
have the help of scholars and students of cen
turies past.
Your church represents generations of ac
cumulated knowledge and faith which will help
you discover, in fellowship with others, the mean
ing and direction of life.
