ABC meanwhile gave their player intro ductions of the Aggie defense so John McCrumbly could broadcast his TV smile. After the coin toss, the Aggies set tled to their respective places to watch the offense and the camera men go to work. The expressions of the players were tense and deter mined as they shouted encourage ment without deleting many of the expletives. Commercials slowed the flow of the game but didn’t slow the trainers and the managers any.

The losses for the national champ white side sends their record reel ing to 2-2, their worst start in years. President George Alden says that Maroon, White sides lose to Houston in rugby play the 12-6 loss is “in no way indicative of our play thus far. ’ The Ags were in bad shape from last week’.s St. Louis Invitational where they placed second. The backs had trouble getting the ball out and seldom were in position. James Sungy scored the only try for the whites and Bruce Mills con verted. Allen credits the loss to mental mistakes, “We kicked too much when we should have run. He also said Houston deserved to win. “They took the game to us. They made us play their game. The maroons are 1-1 for the sea son, after losing 19-6. The maroon loss was due mainly to an inexperienced hackline, said Alden. “We have a young rugby club. Still have a lot of potential,’’ said Alden. Free Diagnosis Coupon ii This is a valuable coupon. It entitles you to a Free Diagnosis. Bring this coupon, and your VW, to our service department.

College AUTHORIZED DEALER and goes on to score. When Skip Walker punched over the final strip the Aggie bench erupts in a tumult of noise and handslapping. The trainers give a “whoooaah and raise the gig ’em sign. Bellard gives a satisfied, knowledgeable look as if he knew it would happen all along. The Ags run up two more scores and completely throttle the usually potent attack of the Red Raiders. A&M seems calm, confident and as sured now, quite a contrast to the Ag water polo team ties exes opening moments. An even larger contrast is the spirit in the Tech lines. Competing for space with their hand and cowbell, the Tech players stand limply with their hands on their hips and their heads bowed. By the third quarter, the Red Raider bench appears more in terested in sipping cokes than in the game. The Aggie confidence grows and the coaches shout instructions and encouragement to keep up the pace to prevent them from becom ing overly sure. “One more touch, say some of the players “and it will be all over. The defensive players discuss plays and gesture to posi tions with their hands between squirts of water. The offense scores again and A&M has literally shut the door on the Red Raiders. The game begins to drag and the final gun be comes monotonous for the game is already decided. Still, the Aggie bench is enthused. Bujnoch strug gles to get a glimpse of the outcome while sitting prone on a bench with his hurt foot. Tech finally scores but that fact does nothing to aid the cause or dampen the Aggies spirits. The “Hawks clamp their hands for their success in handling Tech s touted receiver Lawrence Wil liams. The ABC men tontinue to garble on head sets in their TV codes. To make the last quarter more exciting, ABC brings Miss World Runner-up Kim Tomes and she starts to get more coverage than Williams did all day. The crack of the gun terminates the game for Tech, A&M and ABC. All that re mains is to carry Bellard off the field, which they do to the delight of the television audience.
