Carl Roaches’ 61-yard punt return for the Aggies’ first touchdown of he night against Baylor. Forming the wall of Aggie blockers are Kent Finley (60), Bill iliebold (61), Corky Sheffield (49) and Max Bird (87). The last man for Baylor was lichard Mason (66) who Roaches calmly hopped over. This wasn’t enough, however, as he Aggies lost, 15-13. !R f s Inc. By BILL HENRY Battalion Sports Editor Just like the rain at Baylor Stadium, the Texas Aggies came nd went. The defense came and he offense went—badly. Also like the rain, you knew he offense was there but you ould barely feel its presence. There were two “downpours” or the Aggies against Baylor, fhe first was a 55-yard punt re urn for a touchdown by fresh man Carl Roaches, with a super dock thrown by Corky Sheffield, fhe second was a 54-yard run by freshman Bubba Bean to set up the other A&M score. With the exception of those two plays, the Aggie offense drizzled dismally all evening. The Aggies could not control the football, running only 49 plays compared to Baylor’s 62. If not for Bean’s 54-yard run, the Aggies would have had only 84 rushing yards and Dean hit only seven of 21 pass attempts. This offensive ineptitude spelled A&M’s sixth consecutive loss, 15- 13. Baylor got 12 of its 15 points in the first half, but no one could blame the defense for allowing those points—it could have been much worse with the field posi tion the Bears had. Baylor scored the first touch down as the offense gave up the ball at the Aggie 31-yard line after a 29-yard punt return by the Bear’s Tommy Stewart. On $3.98 BONF RE Why have it? — Why not?

Two plays later fullback Barry Wilson scored. The extra point by Mike Conradt, who was to win the game for the Bears later, missed his first extra point of the year with 8:27 gone in the first period. Early in the second quarter, Baylor made its only sustained drive of the evening, marching from its own 19-yard line to the Aggie 23. Instrumental in the drive was a very questionable in terference call against Robert Murski defending against Dancer. Coach Grant Teaff, in his first year at Baylor, called for a field goal when the drive stalled. Con radt got the call and his place ment hit the left upright, the crossbar and then slipped over for the three points giving Bay lor a 9-0 lead with less than three minutes gone in that quarter. After it was determined that Don Dean was having a bad day, Lex James was brought into the game at quarterback with 3:41 remaining in the half. Lex saL vaged the Aggies a first down at the 22-yard line, but on third and ten from that point he threw an interception and gave Baylor the ball on the A&M 16-yard line with :59 left. Baylor got the ball down to the four-yard line before the Aggie defense held, but with :12 re maining, Conradt was called in and made the score 12-0. Since A&M won the toss for the seventh consecutive game and elected to receive, the Bears had the option for the second half and wanted the ball. They could not move in three downs and were forced to punt at their own 27-yard line. Ellis fielded the ball at the Baylor 49 to give the Aggies the best field position of the night. On the first play, a routine handoff was fumbled by Skip Walker and Baylor took over at the A&M 47-yard line. On a second and two from the A&M 41, defensive end Max Bird tackled Jeffrey for a seven-yard loss, but he was detected for a face mask violation and the Bears were given new life at A&M’s 33-yard line. The defense stiffened at the 11- yard line and Conradt booted his third field goal of the night giv ing Baylor a 15-0 lead. Later in the period as both offensive units were held in check, Baylor’s Parrott punted from his own 15-yard line to Roaches who raced back 61 yards for the score which made it 15-6 as the Aggies missed the two-point conversion. Early in the fourth quarter. Bean took a pitch from Dean at the Aggie 31-yard line and raced to the Baylor 15 before being forced out of bounds. Four plays later, Brad Dusek got the call from the one and A&M closed the gap to 15-13 with Pat McDer mott’s extra point. The defense held Baylor at bay during that entire period giving the offense relatively good field position in Baylor territory try ing to set up a field goal which would win the game. With 3:46 remaining in the contest, it looked as though the Aggies were going to win. The drive began at the A&M 20-yard line. On the first play, Bean went around right end fora three-yard gain, but Ralph Sacra was detected for holding and the ball was placed back to the 11 yard line. Then Dean threw incomplete to Roaches. On second and 19 from the 11, Dean hit Osborne at the 31 for a 20-yard gain and a first and ten. Dusek got the call on a draw but the play lost three yards. On second and 13, Dean tried Os borne over the middle, but the pass was picked off at the Bay lor 48 with 2:16 left. The defense held again and forced Baylor to punt and the Aggie offense was given another chance at the 21-yard line with 1:16 to go. On second and ten, Dean hit Osborne over the middle for nine. On third and one, Dean carried for no gain and on fourth and one, Dean pitched to Walker who lost four and the game was all over for the Aggies. Again, the Aggies won the sta tistical battle outgaining Baylor 243 to 233 in total offense. Both teams had two passes intercepted but only the Aggies lost a fumble —sound familiar?
