'7'Coach Fosdick summed up the llwe of the West Coast trip by tying “We’re probably 100 per- fnt better than we were at this ne last week.” Jfflie Aggies opened the tourna- bient with a 8-5 victory over Cal fite at San Francisco. Fosdick ALLEN Oldsmobile Cadillac I SALES - SERVICE ■“Where satisfaction is I standard equipment” 2401 Texas Ave. 823-8002 said “The game was a good team effort but the play was rough.” During the game the first team played as a complete unit for the first time this season. Goalies Paul McKinzie and Steve Engle stopped 18 shots during the con test. The Aggies kept the ball roll ing with a 10-1 victory over West Valley College. Fosdick has praise for the great defensive game which he felt helped get the of fense going. A&M’s first tournament defeat came at the hands of San Jose City College 5-4. McKinzie again played a great game at the net, making what Fosdick termed “some seemingly impossible stops” in what was a heartbreaking de feat. The next game the Aggies faced the eventual tournament champs, Fullerton City College. Dejected after the close call with San Jose A&M fell 17-2. The second team played most of the game and gained more experience. The Aggies bounced back from the two defeats by beating Cal State at Humbolt. A&M was a 5 goal underdog but outplayed the more experienced California in all departments for a 8-5 vic tory. Lester Hamann led the scor ing with 10 goals. Fred Meyers and Gordon Brown had five goals each, along with Steve Prentice, who also had eight assists. Fosdick will take a junior >.r- sity team along to Albuquvque while preparing for the South west Water Polo Championships which are to be held Nov. 3-4 at A&M.

George Blanda kicked a 46- yarder — the first of two field goals—in the first quarter as both teams’ offenses fizzled in an ex pected passing contest between Lamonica and Oiler quarterback Dan Pastorini. Oakland linebacker Phil Villi- piano intercepted a Pastorini pass with nine seconds left in the first half and on the next play, La monica hit Fred Biletnikoff in the end zone for the Raiders’ first touchdown and a 10-0 halftime lead. Blanda’s 35-yarder in the third quarter came after a blocked Houston field goal attempt bounc ed all the way back to the Oiler 23-yard line.

Royal met with sportswriters and broadcasters at his regular weekly news conference and said he would be glad to talk to them, or let the Longhorn play ers talk to them, off the prac tice field during the week. But he said he was closing the field and dressing room during practice for the rest of the sea son “for secrecy ... so we can get out our business a little better.” Oklahoma’s “big improvement has come defensively,” Royal said, adding that the offense “rover” has the ball because the “big, quick and fast” OU defense does not allow the opposition to keep it very long. Royal’s words are borne out by OU’s first three games in which the Sooner defense has held Utah State, Oregon and Clemson to two field goals. Favored for the first time against Texas since 1963, Okla homa defeated Utah State 49-0 and Texas was hard-pressed to beat the same team, 27-12, last Saturday night. It was mentioned that Utah State players felt Oklahoma ran a more “modified” Wishbone-T offense than Texas, and Royal said the only modification he could see was that Sooner ball carriers “jump farther sideways and run faster in a straight line.” “We’re running the same type thing,” Royal said, “but theirs looks different because they have different people running it. With their speed, they get in the crease faster.” Several Oklahoma coaches took advantage of their usual week off prior to the Texas game to scout the Longhorn-Utah State game, and Royal noted that Utah State was a “better team than anyone dreamed they were.” He said the Longhorns “weren’t hitting on all cylinders and were not greased up as a unit.” Seven Longhorn starters were injured in the Utah State game, and the most serious appeared to be defensive halfback Mike Bay er’s sprained ankle. Royal said sophomore David Krill, who has never played a down of varsity ball, would work at that spot this week. Quarterback Alan Lowry, who has produced 684 yards of Texas’ total 1,176 yards of total offense this season, hurt his right elbow, which was swollen and he is “not well,” Royal said. An apparently similar injury kept him out for 10 days during spring practice, Royal recalled. place in the AFC West, put it out of reach in the fourth quar ter with three more touchdowns, two following interceptions by Otis Sistrunk and Nemiah Wilson. Villanova rookie Mike Siani beat Benny Johnson to start the fourth quarter and Lamonica hit him on a 27-yard TD play. Sistrunk’s interception at the Houston 14^ set up a 14-yard touchdown run by Clarence Davis who plunged through the middle of the collapsing Oiler defense Only seconds later, Wilson in tercepted Kent Nix’ pass and re turned it 32 yards to Houston’s two. Reserve quarterback Ken Stabler hit tight end Bob Moore in the end zone for the final tally. GtriOtVJROW FWBE.
