A&M turnovers, fresh as mom’s
apple pie and liberally sprinkled
with Aggie mistakes, made a fine
Thanksgiving lunch for the Texas
Longhorns Thursday.
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.

“QUALITY FIRST”
By HERSCHEL NISSENSON
Associated Press Sports Writer
The Crimson Tide of Alabama
replaced Ohio State Monday as
the nation’s top-ranked college
football team.
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. The
Crimsod Tide who had been in sec
ond place almost all year tallied
1,176 points with 1,095 points go
ing to Okiahoma, which blanked
Nebraska 27-0 on Friday and
dropped the Cornhuskers from
10th to 13th.
