"KILLERS 3” (R) Ags Blank Wichita State in Season Opener Defense, Running Backs Lead 48-0 Assault By KEVIN COFFEY Sports Editor Led by a trio of sophomore run ning backs and a stingy defense, the Texas Aggies blasted Wichita State Saturday night, 48-0. The shutout was the first for an Aggie team in 38 games, go ing back to the 1969 Baylor game. Quarterback Mike Jay com manded the onslaught to the de light of 31,474 fans at Kyle Field. Jay got off to a slow start as his first pitch as an Aggie on the triple option resulted in a 10 yard loss. The Aggie defense held the Shockers in the early mo ments before the offense found high gear. The Ags got an early break and the offense settled down to take advantage. Warren Trahan stripped the ball away from Shocker Fred Speck and A&M’s Ted Lamp re covered the ensuing fumble. Skip Walker then circled left end to score his first of three touch downs and the Aggies had a 7-0 after Randy Haddox tacked on the extra point. The 48-point production was the most scored by A&M since a 1961 defeat of Trinity 55-0, 120 games ago. The Aggies broke the game wide open with 21-second quarter points. Walker did the honors again as he dashed up the right side line 19 yards to cap a 40 yard drive set up by the A&M defense. The explosiveness of the Aggie offense became evident with 6:55 left in the half when Alvin Bow ers broke up the middle, picked up a block from Richard Osborne and scampered 77 yards to the end zone. Haddox was true with the extra point and the Ags led 21-0. The Aggies weren’t finished yet as they recovered a Shocker fumble after a Jay to Roaches pass was intercepted. Two plays later Walker scored again. A&M held a 28-0 halftime lead. The second half was but 2:30 old when Pat Thomas picked off a Wichita pass and rambled 50- yards to stretch the lead to 34-0. A long sustained drive, some thing the Aggies had not done in the contest brought A&M another score. Starting on their own 20, A&M utilized the running of Bowers, Bean, Hubby, and Jay to march 80 yards to paydirt in 12 plays. A&M’s final score came early in the fourth quarter when a 17- yard halfback pass from Hubby to Osborne capped a 68 yard drive. Coach Emory Bollard’s Aggies totally dominated the game de fensively in recording the shut out. Wichita could manage but 10 first downs as the A&M line backing crew of Ed Simonini, Garth Ten Napel, Ken Stratton and later Lester Hayes intimidat ed Shocker passers and running backs. Wichita managed but 206 total yards with only 84 on the A&M front four of Don Long, Lamp, Trahan and Paul Hulin. Offensively, Bowers had 126 yards to Walkers 76 and Bean’s 59 in his first contact since a leg injury two weeks ago. Bellard was more than happy with his charges performance. “I was extremely pleased with the effort. We fought hard and had some good breaks early that we were able to capitalize on. We had some typical first game jit ters because everybody was wound as tight as a nine day clock.” The Aggies next test comes in Player STATISTICS Wichita State Rushing Yds. Avg.

I felt better as the game progressed and became more confident. We had some timing problems early but we worked them out.” FB ALVIN BOWERS — “The line really opened some holes for me to run through. Of course I was disappointed when penalties nullified a couple of runs, but the main thing is that we won the ball game.” HB SKIP WALKER—“I got a lot of key blocks from big A1 (Bowers), from (Ronnie) Hubby and Bubba Bean and the split ends helped with blocks. The way they were blocking anyone should get 10 yards easily.” CB PAT THOMAS—“Boy, was I ever happy with that touch down. It’s been a long time since I scored one, back at Plano High.” LB ED SIMONINI—“I thought Wichita was as good as last year but the big difference was that we’re improved. I was high and the whole team was high as a kite. When you shoutout a foe, that’s the ultimate for the de fensive unit.” AGGIE TROUBLE—Wichita State fullback Tim King - was just one of many Shocker runners who found trouble trying to run against the spirited Aggie defense. Southern Cal Retains No. 1 Ranking Nebraska, Ohio State and Ala bama lined up Monday to chal lenge Southern California for the No. 1 spot in The Associated Press college football poll.

CSSC Beats Fish Water Polo Team In Finals King Denies Interviews HOUSTON UP) — Like Greta Garbo, Billie Jean King wants to be alone. Once one of the most outgoing and ebullient personalities in tennis, the 29-year-old Wimble don champion has gone into a shell in preparation for her $100,000 winner-take-all match with 55-year-old Bobby Riggs at the Astrodome Thursday night. “No private interviews—no personal appearances,” was Billie Jean’s edict after arriving on the scene for the so-called “Battle of the Sexes.” Before going behind her own private bamboo curtain, Billie Jean told the world that she was feeling fine, that she loved pres sure matches and that she was ready for her match against the aging hustler from Newport 90«e<*t«s a/nd^ &rtty'$3.00. Beach, Calif. “I don’t have leukemia, hepa titis or hypoglycemia,” she said. “I am fine. I feel great.” To prove it, she submitted to two singles matches Monday in the women’s tour tournament and indicated she might play a third Tuesday before taking off to prepare for Thursday night’s $2-million spectacular. There has been concern over Billie Jean’s physical condition since she pulled out of a third- round match in the recent U.S. Open at Forest Hills, N.Y., and returned to her Hilton Head, S.C., base to undergo a series of tests. Doctors reported that she had low blood sugar, probably as a result of some kind of virus, and that she might be subject to tir ing in intense heat or in a pro longed match. The duel with Riggs will be the best-of-five sets. “The doctors tell me that I had a bad cold and I am now over it,” Billie Jean said. “Both mentally and physically I will be in top shape for Riggs.” The Freshman Water Polo team made it to the finals but didn’t have the endurance that it proved to take to be at the more ex perienced College Station Swim Club Saturday. “We were even into the final quarter,” said team captain Bill Cunningham, “but the offense fell apart when Don Reeser, the all- American from Southern Calif., fouled out.” “CSSC had been working out all summer,” coach Dennis Fosdick reported. “The freshmen had worked out for two weeks and the CSSC just swam over us the last quarter. The basic purpose of the tournament was to give the novice teams a little competition practice. The difference between the first game the A&M team played and the finals match were something to be proud of.” The final score was CSSC, 13, TAMU freshmen, 12. The third place team was La Marque High School. The all-tourney team in cluded: Gary Carter and Kim De- Jean, La Marque; Peter Leabo, Bill and Bob Leland, CSSC; Da- vid Meeh and Bob Poirer, Jack’s Shack Water Polo Club; and Don Reeser, Bill Cunningham, and team goalie, Roy Bowman, TA MU “Generally,” Cunningham said, “the squad executed well offen sively and defensively we almost reached the point of excellence we wanted. The zon,e defense that the team used when we were a man short worked great, but was a little hard to get out of for of fensive play. I would say that defense was the key to our meet play.” TRY BATTALION CLASSIFIED UPSET IN THE MAKING—Bob Leland of A&M Consolidated water polo team pre pares to pass under the pressure of Aggie freshman Tom Sanders in A&M’s Novice Water Polo Tournament.
