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.”

Aggie Notes and Quotes
QB MIKE JAY—“I didn’t have
any jitters but I wasn’t exactly
Cool Hand Luke either. 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.
The Trojans of Southern Cal,
who have been No. 1 since the
first week of 1972, opened their
season by blanking Arkansas 17-0
Saturday night and earned 38
first-place votes and 1,106 points
from the 60 sports writers and
broadcasters who participated in
this week’s poll.
Nebraska, idle the past week
end, and Ohio State, a 56-7 win
ner over Minnesota, held onto the
No. 2-3 positions, but the former
lost ground while Ohio State gain
ed. Nebraska received eight first-
place votes and 995 points while
the Buckeyes garnered 11 votes
for the top spot and 944 points.
Alabama rose from sixth to
fourth, thanks to a 66-0 rout of
California. The Crimson Tide re
ceived two first-place votes and
809 points.
Michigan remained in fifth
place with 666 points following
a 31-7 triumph over Iowa. Texas,
which doesn’t open its season un
til Friday night, dropped from
fourth to sixth with 615 points.
The other first-place vote—and
588 points—went to Penn State,
which throttled Stanford 20-6.
Notre Dame continued in
eighth place. The Irish get un
der way this Saturday against
Northwestern. Oklahoma jumped
from 11th to ninth by trouncing
Baylor 42-14 while Tennessee,
which rallied in the closing min
utes to edge Duke 21-17, slipped
from ninth to 10th.
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.”
