Have you guessed? Here s a
hint: They re from the same school
that puts out this newspaper. That's
right, the Aggies.
It was ‘prove how good we are
day for the Aggies as they showed
they could pla\ mediocre ball and
still win.
koff may have been an omen. Tony
Franklin, just three days out of the
hospital skidded the kick out of
bounds. Allen Hooker took the next
attempt at the 13 and returned it to
the 32. The teams traded the foot
ball the rest of the first quarter with
TCU gaining three first downs and
the Ags but one after the TD.
The second quarter began and
the Ags marched right down to the
21 but could go no further. Franklin
tried a 38-yarder but was wide to the
right. TCU took the ball back, coidd
go nowhere and was forced to punt.
Lee Cook didn’t do a very good job
of it. David Greeno made a fair
catch at the Aggie 48 and seven
plays later, Bean was in the endzone
again.
From the kickoff, TCU took the
ball, threw seven passes in nine
plays of which five were complete.
The last one hurt. Jimmy Dan Elz-
ner, to whom the other six passes
were thrown in this series, found
himself mysteriously wide open in
the endzone. Ed Simonini blocked
the point after attempt.
The half ended with the Ags
ahead 14-6. It wouldn t have mat
tered if the second half was even
played, the score stood. There s
probably quite a few who wish there
wasnt a second half. For as many
sparkling moments in the first half
there were as many sloppy ones the
second.
With the as \ et winless TCU
horned Frogs playing a highb emo
tional game, the Ags managed to
display a bit of vintage Aggie foot
ball and still handle the Frogs to the
tune ofl4-6. It was not an easy game
for the Ags.
A late TCU touchdown was re
turned for offsetting interference
penalties and the Frogs coidd not
punch it in on the replay. Bean left
the game early in the second half
with a bruise on the leg above the
knee. And a few others had “their
bell rung .
It was the third quarter which was
bad (see No. 6 in list).
The Ags started on the 50, and
had moved to the 32 before prob
lems arose. On third down and
three. Skip Walker was tripped for a
loss. On fourth and four, somebody
miscued and a Shipman pitchout
rolled to the 44 where Bubba Bean
fell on it. The ball went over to
TCU.
With overconfidence evident,
the Ags played a lazy-dazy game in
general as shown by Nos. 3, 4, 5, 6,
7, in the above list.
Bright spots were many in the
game, but only seldom were they
lumped together long enough to
give the Aggies a scoring chance.
I he Ags began as brilliant as ever,
chalking up seven points from the
opening kickoff after an 11 play,
77-yard drive. But the ensuing kic-
Bean left the game then, not
being able to run on his knee any
longer. The first play after the bad
pitchout, Jackie Williams inter
cepted an errant pass and the Ags
had another chance.
But this time Ronnie Hubby lost
possession temporarily and reco
vered for a loss, followed by a pitch
for no gain. Shipman was sacked for
ten. Stanley punted on fourth and
22. TCU managed a series before
Williams stole another pass to give
the Ags another shot.
But the offense just looked the

“QUALITY FIRST”
gift-horse in the month. Three plays
after the gift-giving, Shipman
pitched ont to his ghost halfback.
TCU regained the ball and got 12-
yards on the roll.
That quarter ended and the teams
got back to playing football.
On the Ags first series of the
fourth quarter, Shipman marched
his troops 36-yards before having to
leave for a little relief. Mike Ja>
came in and continued the drive.
Jay sent Carl Roaches to the en
dzone on a third and 15 call and put
the ball just above Roaches head.
Hooker was behind him and stole
the ball from Roaches clutches,
preventing a 21-6 ballgame.
The teams traded possession a
few more times before Walker fum
bled at the A&M nine. TCU took
over and on the second play threw
to Mike Renfro in the endzone. Re
nfro had a super catch with two and
a half minutes to play but the offset
ting penalties wiped it out. A sack
and two incompletions ended the
threat and for all practical purposes,
the game.
Tight-end Richard Osborne who
tied Bob Long for second on the
all-time receiving list with his only
catch of the game (he was only
thrown to once) summed it up best
of all. “How do vou get up for
TCU?"
Bean played a fine game surpas
sing Jim Bertelsen for seventh on
the SWC all-time rushing list.
Walker also had a fine game, once
dancing down the sideline for 36-
yards. Jim Hartman, Hubby and
Bucky Sams all played well at their
respective positions. Shipman had
an off-on day and although the mis-
cues are credited to him he proba
bly was not entirely at fault. His
running was strong as it has been
this season. It was just an individual
day, not the team effort of recent.
For the most part the Offensive line
played well, though they seemed
not to be getting off the ball as well.
The defense came through when
necessary but was also sloppy at
times. The defensive stats would
probably have been closer to last
years figure except for some missed
tackles. The defenders tended to
get a hand or shoulder on a carrier
but not bring him down. A lack of
real aggressiveness.
Going into the game, the Ags had
the lowest total in the conference of
fumbles with 12. Of those only two
had been “bad fumbles, miscues.
But the total number was increased
by a half in this game and three of
them were miscues.
But, a win is a win is a win. The
Aggies now 6-0 will entertain the
defending champs, Baylor, in their
first home game in four weeks.
Chances are it won t he a 14-6 game.
A helping hand? Blake Schwarz
provide the immovable force.
