Page 8 THE BATTALION TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1974 Oilers put hose Jets’ Joe Willie on HOUSTON (AP) —The Houston Oilers had a successful day’s work Sunday against the New York Jets’ Joe Namath, intercepting two of his passes, including a decisive pickolf by safety Bob Atkins with 1:40 left in the game. “All I had to do was look the ball into my hands,” said Atkins, celeb rating Houston’s 27-22 victory, their second in a row. “I was where I should have been, doing what I was expected to do.” All the Oilers seemed to be where they were supposed to be Sunday and Oiler defensive coach Ed Biles was quick to praise the Oiler defen sive work against Namath. “It’s a big win for this organiza tion,” Biles said. “But when you sack Joe twice, intercept him twice and hold him to 256 passing yards, you expect to beat him.” Houston quarterback Dan Pasto- rini and receiver Ken Burrough contributed the big offensive play of the game seconds before Atkins’ in terception. Pastorini hit Burrough on a 51-yard pass play that set up the winning TD with two minutes to play. “He (Jet safety, Phil Wise) let me get up to him and that’s all I needed,” Burrough said. “I saw the play was open early in the game and I told Dan about it. We called it just at the right time. Give him the time to throw and he’s awesome.” Pastorini didn’t think the pass was very picturesque but it got the job done. “It seemed like I threw the ball a couple of miles and that it wasn’t going to come down,” Pastorini said. The Jets scored a go-ahead field goal late in the game, but Pastorini, who completed 18 of 28 passes for 221 yards, said he never doubted Houston would win. “I never thought we were out of it, he said. “We felt if we could get good field position on the kickoff, we would score. We had a holding penalty set up back a little, but I never felt like we could not do it. “Things are different with this team now. We’ve got a lot of confi dence in ourselves and we didn’t have it before.” Houston plays its third straight road game Sunday at Buffalo. £~(o) M Defense led way ’39 champs relive yesterday A • 1 auto pa/its iNflPflf Nationally Known Brands for All Makes Drums & Rotors Turned Bearings Pressed COMPLETE VW, DATSUN, TOYOTA, OPEL PARTS “A-1 Quality of Parts and Service” Texas at Cooner 846-4791 CANTERBURY ASSOCIATION Each Tuesday, 5:30 p.m.—Holy Eucharist and Supper Wednesdays, 12:00 noon—Bible Study Thursdays, 6:30 a.m.—Holy Eucharist and Breakfast EPISCOPAL STUDENT CENTER 904-906 Jersey Street (Southern Boundary of Campus) 846-1726 Father James T.

The class of 1939 got together last weekend to relive past glories and retell the tales of their former days at A&M. 1939 was the year A&M won the coveted national champ ionship in football and defeated Tulane in the Sugar Bowl 14-13. Strangely enough, A&M was picked to finish fifth in the confer ence that year by the pre-season ex perts. Apparently it was because it had been so long that the Aggies had figured in the conference race. Haven’t we heard that line some where before? But the players had another no tion. “We were confident we had one of the best teams in the confer ence,” said Joe Rothe, then a half back and now an asst, director in the Texas A&M, Agricultural Extension Service. “We had some of the finest high school stars in Texas at that time.” “We had a bunch of fine ball players,” said Marion Pugh, the Aggie quarterback that year. “We just seemed to jell our junior year. ” Pugh guided the A&M offense which featured the Notre Dame box formation and had one of the all time great running backs, John Kim brough. Kimbrough ended his career at A&M as a two-time All- America and All-Conference choice. He received the Houston Post Most Valuable Player trophy in 1939 and a year later led the S WC in rushing with 611 yards. “He (Kimbrough) was one of the finest, strongest runner’s I’ve ever seen,” said Pugh. “He could go in side or outside.” A&M center Tommy Vaughn said, “You didn’t block for John, you just got out of the way. ” Kimbrough was the primary cog in the A&M rushing attack but was not the only weapon the Aggies had. They had a good passing attack and averaged about 15 passes a game. However, it was the defense that led the Aggies to the championship. A&M’s defense set national records for total and rushing defense and allowed only 18 points all season. They finished as the top defensive team in the nation. The Aggies were coached by Homer Norton, a man Vaughn cal led “20 years ahead of his time. ” He was the quiet type, said Pugh, and didn’t let his emotions show. Pugh recalled him as a taskmaker and hav ing great assistants. Norton was the originator of the coaching tower but had to tear it down because he was accused of not being close to his players. The players of that era played the full 60 minutes with usually 13 to 14 players seeing action. They played despite injuries because they took seriously Norton’s comment that “if you want to win you got to play. The staunch Aggie defense gave up a total of eight points in SWC play but still had a tough time gain ing the title. The SMU game was played in the mud at Kyle Field which Pugh described as “like play ing in slop.” The game became a kicking duel between A&M’s Bill Conatser and Presto Johnson of the Mustangs. Despite the inclement conditions the Aggies emerged vic torious 6-2. After that game it was smooth sailing the rest of the way. Thirty-five years later the players who obtained gridiron glory for A&M in 1939 have become a little gray haired and a few wrinkles line their once youthful faces. They admit the players of today are better than they were because of differ ences in size and quickness. The biggest Aggie in ’39 weighed 220 lbs. But the class of 1939 still has one claim to fame that no other class can make. They were the national champions of college football. Na tional champions. That has a nice ring to it. r H pent house 1 Located at Plantation Oaks Apts, above the leasing office on Highway 30 ClNC in Steven ggics in NEW SPECIALS Monday— Bourbon ...
