Ohio State Still No. 1
By HERSCHEL NISSENSON
Associated Press Sports Writer
Alabama, Oklahoma and Michi
gan became the chief threats to
Ohio State’s reign atop the col
lege football rankings Monday in
the wake of a shake-up that
dropped Nebraska from second
place to 11th and defending cham
pion Southern California from
fourth to sixth.
Ohio State ran its record to 40
Saturday with a convincing 24-0
whipping of Wisconsin and as
sured itself of the No. 1 spot for
the third consecutive week. The
Buckeyes received 39 first-place
votes and 1,113 points from the
59 sports writers and broadcasters
who participated in this week’s
Associated Press poll.
Alabama, a 35-14 winner over
Florida, climbed from third to sec
ond with six first-place votes and
930 points. Oklahoma, runnei*-up
the last two years, vaulted from
sixth to third with eight first-
place votes and 869 points follow
ing a 52-13 rout of Texas that
dropped the losers out of the Top
Twenty.
Michigan rose from fifth to
fourth with one first-place ballot
and 855 points for a 31-0 blank
ing o f Michigan State. Penn
State, seventh last week, walloped
Army 54-3 and moved up to fifth
place with four No. 1 votes and
657 points.
Southern Cal, No. 1 all last sea
son and this until a 7-7 tie with
Oklahoma on Sept. 29 that
dropped the Trojans to fourth,
skidded farther down to sixth
after struggling past Washington
State 46-35. The Trojans amassed
627 points.
Missouri, a 13-12 upset winner
over Nebraska, shot from 12th to
seventh with the remaining first-
place vote and 528 points.
The 8-9-10 teams shifted
around. Notre Dame climbed
from ninth to eighth by trounc
ing Rice 28-0 and Louisiana State
went from 10th to ninth by trim
ming Auburn 20-6 while Tennes
see slipped from eighth to 10th
after a hard-fought 20-14 victory
over Georgia Tech.

Tech Capitalizes On Mistakes
To Thump Aggies in Giveaway
By KEVIN COFFEY
Sports Editor
LUBBOCK — Whoever coined
the phrase “opportunity knocks
only once” didn’t see Saturday
night’s A&M-Texas Tech football
game.
The Aggies gave the Raiders
gifts almost too numerous to men
tion and certainly more than the
hosts expected, in the form of two
lost fumbles and four intercepted
passes. The opportunistic Raiders
cashed these Aggie miscues into
22 gratis points that were the
eventual factor in the 28-16 A&M
loss.
A&M made it as easy on Tech as
possible. The Raiders needed to
mount one legitimate drive to cap
ture the scoreboard. The other
three Tech touchdowns came on
spurts of nine, 28 and 13 yards
after Tech gained possession on
A&M errors.
The Aggies had pulled within a
touchdown at 22-16 and were
moving for what appeared to be
the winning TD when Tech de
livered the death blow and rubbed
out all hopes of an Aggie come
back victory.

Miami Defeats
Browns 17-9
CLEVELAND (A 5 ) — Larry
Csonka galloped for 114 yards
and scored two touchdowns as
the Miami Dolphins defeated the
Cleveland Browns 17-9 in Mon
day night’s nationally-televised
National Football League game.
The contest also was shown on
local television because it was
sold out last Tuesday. The
Browns announced that 79,282
tickets had been sold but only
72,070 ticketholders showed up
despite good weather conditions.
After a scoreless first period,
the Dolphins took the lead on a
36-yard field goal by Caro Ye-
premian. Yepremian’s boot ended
a 62-yard drive in nine plays with
6:41 elapsed in the second period.
The Browns brought themselves
back into contention when Don
Cockcroft kicked a 30-yard field
goal. The scoring drive was set
up when Browns’ cornerback Ben
Davis intercepted a Bob Griese
pass on the Browns’ 37 and re
turned it 20 yards. Six plays
later, Cockroft tied the score.

BRYAN CONROE PASADENA
Starting with good field posi
tion at the Tech 49, A&M moved
to the 36 on a Mike Jay to Rich
ard Osborne pass completion. The
Aggies then set up a screen pass
to Alvin Bowers but Red Raider
defensive end Tommy Cones in
tercepted and returned the ball to
the A&M 13 before being hauled
down by Jay.
Joe Barnes scored on a quarter
back sneak three plays after Tech
converted a fourth and one.
Barnes played well in the con
test in which he threw for three
touchdowns and ran for the other.
Neither the senior signal caller
nor hiis Tech teammates were
guilty of a turnover.
The first half action was as
flat as the surrounding West
Texas plains. Neither team could
mount a drive and both punters
kept their respective team out of
trouble.
After a scoreless first quarter,
A&M’s trouble began.
Tech punted and Carl Roaches
fumbled on the Raider 28. It
took Barnes just one play to cap
italize as he hit Larry Williams
in the A&M endzone. Barnes got
the pass away as Ed Simonini fell
in an attempt to sack the Tech
QB. Don Grimes kicked the point
after and Tech had a 7-0 lead
with 8:21 remaining in the first
half.
A&M kept the ensuing Tech
kickoff for one first down to
their own 32, before Jay had an
other pass picked off, this one
by linebacker Charlie Berry
which he returned to the nine.
This time it took Tech two plays
to score as Barnes connected with
fullback John Gamer. Grimes
missed the PAT and the half
ended with Tech ahead 13-0.
The Aggie offense could get no
closer to paydirt than the Tech
34 and it took two Raider 15-yard
penalties to advance that far.
A&M’s total offense for the first
two periods was but 62 yards.
A&M started the second half
like a brand new ball club. They
marched 80 yards in 12 plays and
consumed 6 minutes before the
drive stalled. Randy Haddox then
kicked a 43 yard field goal to cut
the lead to 13-3.
Tech bounced right back. After
taking the kickoff back to their
41, they traveled the remaining
59 yards in seven plays with the
clincher coming on a Barnes to
Williams pass good for 12 yards.
Pat Thomas, who Williams beat
on the TD play, blocked the point
after attempt and Tech held a 19-
3 lead.
Second half action remained the
complete opposite of the opening
stanza as A&M scored on its next
possession.
Skip Walker returned the kick
off 73 yards to the Tech 21 and
then caught a 20-yard pass to
move the ball to the one. Bucky
Sams jumped in for the score and
A&M trailed 19-9 after an unsuc
cessful two-point conversion.
Tech got their next score with
out moving the ball a yard.
The Aggie’s defense held the
Raiders but Jay threw another
interception, this one picked off
by Ecomet Burley. Tech drew 15
yards for a personal four, moving
the ball back to the A&M 32.
Again the defense let Tech go
nowhere but Grimes kicked a 49-
yard field goal for a 22-9 Tech
lead. A&M’s stuttering offense
found high gear as they marched
80 yards for a score. Jay hit
Walker and Roaches on long gain
ers on the drive. Bowers scored
from the one and after Haddox
tacked on the PAT the lead was
cut to 22-16.
The momentum was shifting to
the Aggies as the defense again
cut the Raider offense off. The
Aggies then had pass number four
intercepted and the ball game
was over.
A&M beat Tech everywhere ex
cept the scoreboard. The defense,
led by Warren Trahan and Simo
nini gave Tech’s powerful offense
but 216 yards, an average of 2.4
a snap. Conversely, A&M ran up
311 yards and punted five times
to Tech’s 10.
Mark Stanley’s punting kept
the Aggies out of hot water in
the early action as the sophomore
booted for a 43.6 average.
Coach Emory Bellard was any
thing but happy. “We played
ragged,” the second year Aggie
mentor said. “That’s my respon
sibility. The players were ready
and wanted to play.”
TCU is next for the Aggies,
Saturday at 2 p.m. in Fort Worth.
