*^T.hey wanted to win far less
than did Army—far less.
Army drove for the first score
with a 75-yard drive using 13
plays and consuming 5:07 minutes
on the clock. Kingsley Fink, who
was made an honorary citizen of
Fink, Tex., in pregame cere
monies, hit on three of three
passes for 37 yards to aid in the
Cadets’ scoring drive.
A&M came back late in the
first period and began to move
the ball down the Army defense’s
throat. The Aggies tied it up
driving 55 yards in eight plays,
two of which were passes from
quarterback Lex James to split
end Richard Osborne for 34 yards.
The scoring play came when
James made a perfect pitch to
halfback Bubba Bean who carried
it the final 12 yards.
It looked at that time like the
Aggies were to storm back and
take the game under control and
live up to their 14-point pregame
favorite role.
Robert Murski scooped up a
Bruce Simpson fumble at the
Army 39. The fumble was made
at the 20-yard line but was batted
back up field. A&M still had the
ball and in good field position.
Freshman fullback Alvin Bow
ers carried it for 17 yards, Bean
carried for five and Skip Walker
carried for nine. James then car
ried for nine and Bean got the
honors again as he scored from
the four. Pat McDermott kicked
the extra point and the Aggies
led 14-7. This lead was to be
short-lived as Army began an
other drive.

73 yards in nine plays to tie it.
The crucial play was a 33-yard
penalty charged to the Aggies
for holding downfield. On that
play. Max Bird had stopped quar
terback Fink for a seven-yard
loss. So, instead of it being third
and 17 from the 21, it was first
and 10 from the A&M 48.
Early in the third quarter, mis
takes began to take their toll on
the Aggies.
With only eight minutes gone
in that stanza, James was hit
while trying to pitch at his own
17-yard line and the ball was re
covered by Army at the Aggie 19.
It took but three plays before
the Cadets took it in for what
turned out to be the winning
score with 3:56 left to play in that
period.
A&M began to move again. The
drive started at the 28-yard line
of A&M and went all the way to
the Army 35 before that incurable
disease, fumblitis, hit again.
Army drove from its own 34 to
the A&M 35 before the drive
fizzled. James Barclay proceeded
to put icing on the cake for the
Black Knights with a career best
on a 44-yard field goal which put
the score at 24-14 with 8:03 re
maining in the contest.
The Aggies tried to mount three
more drives but failed at each
and the score stood 24-14.
After the game, a tearful group
of Aggies went into the dressing
room for a little chat with coach
Bellard, but soon afterwards Bel
lard and the other coaches were
asked to leave while the team
had a little meeting.
There is no speculation as to
what went on in that room. If
anything concrete was done, it
Gadd Outpasses
Ferguson In SWC
DALLAS UP) — Bruce Gadd of
Rice is outgunning the more her
alded Joe Ferguson of Arkansas
in the passing department of the
Southwest Conference foot
ball statistics.
Gadd, a senior from Richard
son, has averaged 17.3 comple
tions per game to 14.3 completions
for Ferguson.
Gary Butler and Edwin Collins
of Rice are tied with Arkansas’
Jim Hodge in receptions with five
catches per contest.
Southern Methodist’s Alvin
Maxson has regained the rushing
lead, averaging 127.3 yards per
contest. Texas Tech’s George
Smith, who held the lead last
week, dropped to 118.3 yards per
game.
Smith still has the lead in tan
dem offense—yards gained rush
ing and receiving—144.3 yards to
127.7 over Maxson.
Tech held onto its total offense
at 504.3 yards per game and
rushing offense with 324.3. Rice
retained its passing offense lead
at 212.0 yards per game.
Rice retained its passing of
fense lead at 212 yards per game.

Baylor lead the league in pass
defense, yielding 123 yards per

won’t be seen until Texas Tech
journeys here to take on the
Aggies Oct. 14.
Coach Bellard made no excuses
for his team’s play after the
game. He was obviously dis
traught but refused to crack
under the barrage of questions
coming from sports writers at a
near-midnight press conference at
the Ramada Inn.
“We gave up the ball at crucial
times,” he said. “We broke down
both offensively and defensively
in every phase of the game.
“Army played hard and had a
lot of character. They certainly
weren’t as talented as we are and
aren’t as talented as teams we’ve
played. They also aren’t as tal
ented as teams we have left on
our schedule.”
The Aggies will play teams
with more talent but none with
more heart or character. Army
will play only one more team
which could have more talent than
the Aggies, Penn State, but prob
ably won’t play another team
with less heart or character than
the Aggies showed here last Sat
urday night.
Royal Praises Longhorns
A fter First Conference Win
AUSTIN (A*)—A stubborn goal
line defense that forced Texas
Tech to “go for threes instead
of sevens” was a major factor
in Texas’ victory over Texas Tech
Saturday night, Longhorn Coach
Darrell Royal said Monday.
Excluding four field goals by
Tech’s Don Grimes, Tech ran 13
plays inside Texas’ 20-yard line
and gained only 25 yards.
Also important in Texas’ 25-20
triumph, Royal said, was the abil
ity of the Longhorn defense to
slow down Tech’s rushing attack
to an average of about 3.5 yards
a carry “when they had been
averaging big figures.”
And for the second straight
game. Royal added, the Texas
offense did not turn the ball over
inside its own 50. “Texas Tech
is about like we are. It was a
tossup affair, about equal ability.
The biggest difference in the ball
game was that we got the ball
in close a couple of times and
they had a long way to go.”
But eventually, Royal told his
weekly news conference, it was
Texas’ rushing defense and “our
stiffening inside our 20 that won
won it for us.”
Asked if he was impressed
with Texas’ offensive line as
Tech Coach Jim Carlen, who
called it “the best one I’ve ever
seen,” Royal replied, “No.”
Ag Golfers
Beat Knights
Texas A&M’s golf team de
feated Army here Saturday after
noon, QV2-V2, in 18-hole match
play.
Each team had five players
with all five Aggie golfers beat
ing their Army counterparts in
the match play portion of the
round.
Tommy Johnson won medal
honors with a one-under-par 71.
Steve Veriato was second with a
i73 p Charlie White and Randy
Tickner followed with 74’s and
Clay Dozier rounded out the Ag
gie squad with a 75.
Army’s top golfers were Andy
Andrews and Gordon Jaehne
with 77’s followed by David
Rodarte with a 79, Jeff Ford at
78 and Don Dubia with 84.
A&M also won team competi
tion with a four-score aggregate
total of 292 compared to a 311
posted by Army.
Royal said, however, tackle
Jerry Sisemore had an “excep
tional game,” tackle Bill Wyman
was “improved” and tight end
Julius Whittier “blocked well.”
He also said split receivers Jim
Moore and Pat Kelly “worked
well.”
On defense, Royal praised line
backer Glenn Gaspard and line
men Doug English, Malcolm Min-
nick and Jay Arnold, a 189-pound
end who led the team in tackles
with 13 and recovered a fumble.
