THE BATTALIOl
Aggies Run Wild Over Mustangs, 45-11
432 Yards Rushing Good for School Record
By KEVIN COFFEY
Sports Editor
A trio of sophomore running
backs and a miser-like defense
paced the Texas Aggies to a 45-
10 victory over SMU Saturday in
Kyle Field.
Skip Walker, Bubba Bean and
Alvin Bowers helped set a school
rushing record of 432 yards,
breaking the mark of 400 steps
set against Texas' Tech in 1951.
Defensively the Aggies were
tighter than old man Scrooge,
The hapless Ponies managed 17
yards in the first quarter as A&M
piled up a 10-0 lead. SMU’s only
touchdown came late in the game
when Andy Duval intercepted a
Tim Trimmier pass and rambled
45 yards to the endzone.
A&M records fell like snow
flakes in a blizzard. The 45 points
represented the most scoring in
an SWC game by the Aggies
since a 48-0 win over Baylor in
1941. It was also the worst defeat
of a SMU team by A&M since
the opening game of this series
in 1916 which the Ags won 62-0.
Carl Roaches, who returned
punts for 96 yards and one touch
down, snapped the one game mark
of 93 yards by Charley Royalty
vs. Villanova in 1948 and Barney
Welch vs. Arkansas in 1946. Ran
dy Haddox’s six extra points tied
his own record, set against Wichi
ta State this year.
The Aggies jumped into the
lead early. The first possession
resulted in a missed 52-yard field
goal by Haddox but possessions
two, three and four put points on
the board.
With the defense giving the
Mustangs nothing but three plays
and a punt, the A&M running
game went to work.
Starting at their 48 after a 23
yard SMU punt, it took the Ags
four plays to drive the 52 yards
in just 52 seconds.
Bean, who was successful on
counters and trap plays along
with Skip Walker all afternoon,
went right for 18 yards and left
for five more. Skip Walker pick
ed up blocks from Bowers and
quarterback David Walker for 27.
David Walker kept the ball for
the final three yards on the next
play.
A&M got the ball right back
via a SMU punt and drove to the
SMU 27. The drive stalled and
Haddox kicked his tenth field
goal of the season, this one from
44 yards for a 10-0 Aggie lead.
SMU started the second quar
ter like they finished the first,
very ineptly. Bowers, Bean and
Skip Walker went back to work to
lead a 57 yard, eight play touch
down drive which ended with
Skip going the final four steps on
fourth and goal. After Haddox’s
kick the game was developing in
to a run away at 17-0.
SMU’s only threat of the half
ended with a missed Clint Hack
ney field goal and 37,180 fans had
witnessed the Ags best half of
the season.
The Mustangs went some seven
minutes into the second quarter
before registering their initial
first down.
Skip Walker topped a 58 yard
touchdown drive with 9:14 left in
the third quarter as he again fol
lowed Bowers, this time for 20
steps and the score.
Roaches counted for the next
TD after evading tacklers about
the SMU 25 and picked up blocks
from Ed Simonini and Charlie
Backs Pledge Effort
In Friday Meeting
By KEVIN COFFEY
Perhaps the outcome of the
A&M-SMU game was decided
Friday night and not on the grid
iron Saturday.
In a jubilent and steamy Aggie
locker room, Bubba Bean revealed
that Skip Walker, Alvin Bowers
and himself met Friday to discuss
their role in the A&M offense.
“We decided that the defense
was playing good enough to win,”
said Bean, “but we just weren’t
putting enough points on the
board. We just kind of agreed it
was our (offensive backs) fault.
“We just weren’t putting out
that second effort and getting
those extra yards,” Bean contin
ued. “We were letting the team
down. All three of us were re
cruited as runners but we weren’t
moving the football like we knew
we could. If we could get some
extra yards at the beginning of
the game on our own, the line
would start blocking better cause
they would want to get involved
in moving the ball. The more we
ran the better they blocked and
the better they blocked the more
we ran. It made for a good situ
ation,” Bean said.
Run well they did. Walker
ended the day with 184 yards and
Bean 100, each on 13 carries. Bow
ers chipped in 87 while clearing
the way with his exceptional
blocking.
The trio accounted for 287 of
the record breaking 432 yards
amaassed by the Aggies.
Head Coach Emory Bellard,
who accused the team of playing,
“methodical football without
much emotion,” against Arkansas
last week said, “everyone took
very positive steps to getting pre
pared mentaly for the game.”
Bean said Saturday’s game and
the Arkansas game were in no
way similar.
“A lot of people had their
minds on things other than foot
ball in Arkansas,” said the for
mer Kirbyville star. “Today and
from here on out we are only
going to think about football.”
Skip Walker said the team
played together as a unit Satur
day.
“We just got it together offen
sively and defensively,” Walker
said. “Everyone was just getting
after it.”
Hopes of a 7-4 season and a
bowl bid are still on the minds of
the young Aggies.
“We have to put the points on
the board to win,” said Walker.
“If we can score we will win and
then bowls will take care of them
selves.”

Arndt in going 71 yards with a
SMU punt to put the Ags on top
31-3.
After trading fumbles, Bowers
blasted 12 yards for a touchdown
and Emory Bellard called off the
dogs and inserted his second and
third units.
It proved little good for SMU
as Trimmier, taking his first
snap as quarterback this season,
rallied the Ags for another TD
as he hit Robert Verde on a 19
yard scoring play. Haddox tacked
on his sixth PAT for the 45th
A&M point of the sunny after
noon.
Skip Walker finished with 184
yards and three touchdowns.
Bean added 100 and owers 87 to
go along with several good blocks.
“No question about it, this was
the best overall performance
we’ve had from start to finish,”
said Bellard. “We just played a
fine football game.”
Defensively, the Ags held SMU
to completing two of 16 passes
with Pat Thomas and A1 Thur
mond each getting an intercep
tion. They were the first enemy
aerials picked off by the Aggies
since LSU, the second game of
the season.
The battle of freshman quar
terbacks, the first in Southwest
conference history, clearly was
won by the Ag’s David Walker.
The 17 year old “Louisiana
Flash” handled the ball like a
magician on counter and trap
plays.
Lester Hayes, Simonini, Thomas
and others anchored the Aggies
defense which Thomas said,
“played defense with a capital ‘D’.
We knew we were winners but we
had to prove it to everyone else.”

Smith said, assessing his Its ;royed before
third straight loss by a comfc
score of 132-38. “The Aggies:
sure a better team than wet
they’re tough and they exes
well. In all my years of cot
ing, I’ve never had a teamti

for third. SMU is 4-4 but 1-|
