Offense is for real, scores 37
By PAUL McGRATH
Battalion Sports Writer
The Texas A& M offense stepped
nto a phone booth and threw off its
neek, mild disguise Saturday night
md then did everything but leap tall
mildings in Tiger Stadium.
The Aggies put it all together,
tinning the stripes off the LSU Ti-
iers to a 39-8 count.

Many forecasters had the Bayou
Bengals in the favorite role. How
ever, six plays into the game A&M
showed where the true dominance
rested.
Bubba Bean took a David Ship-
man pitch and scooted 46 yards to
put the Cadets into the lead before
many of the fans had located their
seats. It was a lead the Aggies were
never to relinquish.
The Aggie offense featured big
plays the entire night. Besides
Bean’s run, Shipman chipped in a
42-yard touchdown jaunt and
freshman George Woodward added
66 and 20-yard scoring gallops.
Those four runs were almost one
half of A&M s total ground yardage
of 390 yards.
The A&M pit crews dominated
the line of scrimmage. The offensive
line of Glenn Bujnoch, Bruce
Welch, Henry Tracy, Billy Lemons
and Dennis Smelser opened wide
gaps in the Tiger defense. Their ef
forts destroyed Houston Post sports
editor John Hollis comment about
the Aggies having a “chorus line”
offense (one-two-three-kick).
“One-two-three-kick my (exple
tive),’ said Bujnoch. “We came off
the ball fast, something we didn t do
last week. It was off Bujnoch s,
Welch’s and Richard Osborne’s
blocks that Woodward sprang for his
first six-pointer.
Right tackle Smelser described
the Aggie attack this way. “We ran
inside the left end or up the middle
the whole first half, and they started
to get worried about us going up the
middle. Then we started going out
side and just blew them out of
there.
Smelser added that the team
seemed more emotional. “It’s just
LSU. They’ve beat us so many times
before. It took us a little time to
jell, hut I think it’s getting to
gether."
Two things were different about
the offense from last week according
to Lemons. “There was more en
thusiasm and we came off the ball
and hit. And then we fought when
we got there. We became a bunch of
fighters. ”
Offensive co-ordinator Tom Wil
son had a similar opinion. “I knew
we were capable of doing it. The
kids realized what they had done
the week before and came out fight
ing.”
Another group of Aggies came out
fighting in Cajun country also. The
maroon defensive eleven continued
to awe the crowd by completely

dismantling a respectable Tiger of
fense.
The Tigers gained but 38 yards on
the ground in 44 attempts and only
114 yards total for the evening. The
defense has allowed only 196 yards
in the first two games and is yet to
surrender a point.
Tiger runners were thrown for
losses nine times, once resulting in a
safety by Jesse Hunnicutt. On their
first half possessions the Bengals
had gains of 3, 3, 0, 5, 4, -1, 4, 26,
-10 and 0. They fumbled the ball
away twice to the voracious Aggie
defenders, once after their only first
down of the half on a pass to tight
end Bo Dunphy.
A&M kept up the pressure in the
second half, intercepting Tiger
quarterback Pat Lyons twice. “Oh
baby, what a sweet thing, what a
sweet thing,” said linebacker Ed
Simonini who had one of the pass
thefts and sacked Lyons for a 13-
yard loss. “The offense and defense
is Texas A&M,” said Simonini.
Freshman kicker Tony Franklin
boomed in his first field goal as an
Aggie, a 47-yarder just before the
close of the second quarter after an
earlier shot of the same distance was
wide. Franklin was involved in
some fisticuffs near the end of the
game and was sent to the bench via
the referee’s thumb. Franklin ap
peared to be justified in his assault
as he was given cheap shots after
each previous kickoff. Franklin was
replaced by punter Mark Stanley on
the final kickoff and he too was a
victim of the ill-tempered Tigers,
receiving a less than honorable shot.
Woodward gained 106 yards in six
carries to lead the A&M ground at
tack. Shipman almost hit the cen
tury mark, netting 99 yards in 17
trips. Halfback Bubba Bean became
only the second Aggie to cross the
2,000 yard mark in a career with his
79 yard performance. He now has
2,035 yards for his little over three
years at A&M and trails only Boh
Smith by 381 yards on the all-time
list.
Another Aggie record fell as Carl
Roaches became the top career punt
returner in yardage gained with 881
yards.
Head Coach Emory Bellard cited
the game as one of A&M’s biggest
ever. This win put Bellard over the
.500 mark for the first time since he
began his tenure with a win over
Wichita State in 1972 only to lose
the next six in a row.
He summarized the LSU game
by saying, “Our offense controlled
the game and the line of scrimmage.
I wish somebody woidd say what a
fine job of blocking our kids did.
Our offensive line did one tremend
ous job of blocking, real blocking.
“I thought the whole football
team played an outstanding game. I
really didn’t know what the score
might he when we went in. I really
thought it would he a low-scoring
game because of the strength of the
two defenses.
"We weren’t set last week, and
that’s probably my fault. We just
weren’t really ready, but tonight I
think we were.”

since 1963 when Ole Miss got the

best of the Tigers 37-3. This game
also closes out the A&M-LSU series
that stands 22-14-3 in the Tiger’s
favor, although the Aggies have won
the last two games.
A Tiger fan perhaps had the best
statement about the game. “Man,
what a way to end it (the series), ’’ he
said.
A&M will now face the Fighting
Illini of the University of Illinois this
Saturday at 12:50 p.m. Illinois (1-1)
is just off a 30-20 loss to tough Mis
souri and should prove quite a test
for the undefeated Aggies.

The uncompromising ones.
The calculations you face require no less.
The new compact HP-21 and HP-25
scientific calculators take it easy on your
budget—and give you the same uncom
promising design and quality that go
into every Hewlett-Packard pocket
calculator, regardless of price.
The HP-25 Scientific
Programmable. s 195.
72 built-in functions and
operations.
Both the HP-21 and the HP-25
feature:
The HP-21 Scientific. $125.
32 built-in functions and
operations.
Performs all log and trig functions, the
latter in radians or degrees; rectangular/
polar conversion; register arithmetic;
common log evaluation.
Performs all basic data
manipulations -
and executes all functions in one second
or less.
All those found in the HP-21, plus
40 more.
Keystroke programmability.
The automatic answer to repetitive prob
lems. Switch to PRGM and enter the
same keystrokes you would use to solve
the problem manually. Then switch to
RUN and enter only the variables
needed each time.
RPN logic system.
Let’s you evaluate any expression with
out copying parentheses, worrying
about hierarchies or restructuring be
forehand. You see all the intermediate
data displayed; you rarely re-enter data;
you can easily backtrack to find an error
because all functions are performed
individually.

You can easily review and quickly add
or change steps.
Branching and conditional test
capability.
Eight built-in logic comparisons let you
program conditional branches.
Full decimal display control.
You can choose between fixed decimal
and scientific notation and you can con
trol the number of places displayed. The
HP-25 also gives you engineering nota
tion, which displays power of ten in
multiples of ±3 for ease in working with
many units of measure—e.g., kilo (10 3 ),
nano (10 ~ 9 ), etc.
8 addressable memories.
And you can do full register arithmetic
on all eight.
Como in and see these great new
calculators today.
