When the smoke cleared from Kyle Field some 54,974 fans were wondering when Texas will relin quish the SWC title. That record crowd witnessed a frustrating game for the Aggies who were able to move the foot ball everywhere but into the end- zone while the Longhorns pound ed away, bits at a time, for a 42- 13 win. The victory for the ‘Horns left them with a 7-0 conference slate and their sixth straight South west Conference championship. The Aggies finished 3-4 in loop play and 5-6 overall. Texas used ball control to dom inate the secbnd half and thwart all hopes of an A&M comeback. The Longhorns backbreaking drive opened the second half. Us ing 18 plays to cover 80 yards, Texas put the game out of reach when Marty Akins scored his sec ond touchdown of the day. The quarter was over nine minutes old and the Aggies had not had the ball. Texas led 28-7. The contest developed into a real runaway as Skip Walker fumbled on A&M’s first play of the quarter and Texas scored three plays later for a 35-7 lead. The game started on the wrong foot for the Ags as Alvin Bowers fumbled on the first play from scrimmage. Doug English recov ered for the Steers on the A&M 27. Taking advantage of the Aggie miscue, Texas moved in for the score with Akins doing the honors from 2 yards out. Billy Schott tacked on his first of six extra points for a 17-0 Texas lead. A&M went back to work and knotted the score at seven with Alvin Bowers TD capping an 83 yard, 12 play drive. Freshman quarterback David Walker hit Richard Osborne with three clutch passes, each good for a first down. Texas regained the lead by marching 90 yards with the A&M kickoff in 14 plays. Longhorn Heisman Trophy candidate Roose velt Leaks spearheaded the drive with plunges of five and six yards. Freshman Raymond Clayborn car ried the ball the final five yards and Texas had the lead for keeps 14-7 with 10:02 left in the half. A&M had a chance to get back in the ball game shortly after Texas capitalized on an intercep tion for a 21-7 lead. David Walker guided the Ag gies from their own 25, fighting Texas defense and the clock. Ronnie Hubby hauled in what Floyd Leads Rally In Cage Preview appeared to be a TD pass as he was wide open but he tripped on the 25 after a 39 step gain. A&M moved to the five when a personal foul penalty and mass confusion kept them from scoring as the time ran out. The Ags did manage one score in the second half as' a Walker to Carl Roaches pass resulted in a pass interference call on Texas. Bubba Bean tallied the final step. Leaks, who was injured early in the third quarter, led all ball carriers with 87 yards on 16 car ries. Akins tallied 75 and three touchdowns. Bubba Bean etched his name into the Aggie record books as his 24 yards was enough to make him the top sophomore rusher in A&M history with 701,Tint ranks third on the all timt( rushing leaders. David Walker’s passing supurb. Often under a big pass rush. Walker hit 11-22 for 164 yards. Richard Ot hauled in seven aerials fe steps. Much of the passing s® came on a freak play whenl er hurriedly hit Osborne^ shuffle toss.

Ohio State’s 10-10 tie with Michigan shook things up in The Associated Press’ next-to-last reg ular-season poll. Oklahoma, which had been third, moved into the runner-up position while Ohio State dropped to third and Mich igan held onto fourth place. Ohio State had been No. 1 since the fourth week of the season when Southern California’s de fending national champions were held to a 7-7 tie by Oklahoma. Notre Dame and Penn State, like Alabama unbeaten and un tied, remained fifth and sixth, respectively, and stayed in con tention for the national title, which will be decided following New Year’s Day bowl games. Alabama, which defeated px*e- viously unbeaten Louisiana State 21-7 last Thursday, received 36 first-place votes and 1,176 points from The AP panel of 63 sports writers and broadcasters.
