THE BATTAUOi
Fish finish season with loss to Shorthorns
By BILL HENRY
Assistant Sports Editor
Texas’ awesome offensive and
defensive attack crushed the out-
manned Texas A&M Fish in Aus
tin Friday afternoon with a bar
rage of brutal running from the
Wishbone attack, 44-0, giving the
Shorthorns their fourth undefeat
ed season in six years and their
fifth SWC title.
A&M was able to pick up but
one first down the entire first
half and that on a pass interfer
ence penalty with 1.14 left in the
first quarter and Texas leading
28-0. The second first down was
not picked up until the Shorthorns
were ahead 41-0 with 12:40 left
in the third quarter.
“There is not too much you can
say about a game like this,” stated
Fish Coach Jim Keller. “They
beat us physically and we were
well coached in the fundamentals.
“The most surprising thing
about their team was that those
big linemen (6-7, 310 and 6-3,
282) were not only physically
strong but were quick,” he added.
It took the Shorthorns only two
minutes and fifteen seconds to
take the opening kickoff 69 yards
in six plays for their first touch
down of the afternoon with Joey
Aboussie carrying it over the
final nine yards for the touch
down.
Texas started the next drive at
its own 32. Ten plays and 3:42
later, the Shorthorns had their
second touchdown of the after-
Phillips’ shoulder
is getting better
AUSTIN, Tex. (^—Quarter
back Eddie Phillips’ sore shoulder
was well enough Monday for him
to take part in passing drills as
Texas prepared to play a Texas
A&M team which Coach Darrell
Royal says is loaded with blue-
chippers.
Although Phillips is better,
Royal told a news conference,
sub Donnie Wigginton is still con
sidered the starting quarterback'
for the Aggie game.
Phillips suffered a shoulder
separation Nov. 13.
noon. Gary Bartek took the hon
ors with a two yard plunge.
A&M started its next drive at
their own six but a fumble two
plays later by John Bounds set up
the Shorthorns’ third touchdown.
This drive went 14 yards in four
plays and took one minute and
thirty-nine seconds to put the 21st
point on the scoreboard.
The Fish started their next
drive on their own 23 but on the
first play from scrimmage, Dean
shot a pass to A1 Thurmond, but
it was picked off by Larson giv
ing the Shorthorns a first down
at the A&M 33-yd line.
It took five plays and one min
ute and thirty-seven seconds for
the fourth score as the first quar
ter came to an end with Texas
leading, 28-0.
Texas took over again at A&M’s
36-yd line after Steve Canter’s
27 yard kick went out of bounds.
It took the Shorthorns seven
plays before they scored their
35th point with 8:45 left in the
first half of play.
After another Canter punt, Tex
as took over at their own 43 with
1:19 remaining in the half. Four

sustained drive all day by the
Fish was wiped out. The drive
consumed eight minutes on the

downs, which was half of the total
afternoon’s production.
The Shorthorns went the entire
third quarter and eight minutes
into the fourth before they could
add their only points of the sec

A&M 32 after Ayers intercepted
another Dean pass. The Fish de
fense stiffened and Dean was
called in to try a 42-yd field goal
