adets slaughter Mustangs, stay undefeated
By PAUL McGRATH
Battalion Sports Editor
Yesterday was the 200th birthday
the United States Marine Corps,
ormerjarhead turned Aggie quar-
>rback Mike Jay celebrated the oc-
asion two days earlier,
jay, coming in for an injured
lavjd Shipman, guided the Aggie
lease to two second half
luchdowns. His play, combined
iththe always tenacious Aggie de-
>nse and the talented toe of Tony
ranklin, led Coach Emory Bel-
rd’s Bunch down the victory trail
for the eighth time this season.
Coupled with Oklahoma’s upset
loss to Kansas, the Aggies’ 36-3
thrashing of SMU propelled them to
berth number three on the pool
train.
The Aggies set a number of marks
and kejDt alive a few strings. Pat
Thomas’ two pass thefts brought his
career interception total to 13, one
more over the previous A&M re
cord held by Dave Elmendorf.
Ed Simonini, heir apparent to the
linebacking hall of fame, scored his
first touchdown in an Aggie un-

iform. His 48 yard jaunt with a fum
ble recovery, aided by blocks from
Thomas and Lester Hayes, proved
to be the gamebreaker, putting the
Ags on top by two six pointers.
Simonini’s play was very similar
to Hayes’ return of a bobble against
Baylor. Hayes commented that he
had “shown Ed how to do it during
practice.
A&M’s soccer style kicker,
Franklin, tied the mark for three
field goals in a single game held by
Randy Haddox against LSU.
Franklin added three PAT’s to his
day’s work.
A&M now has won nine straight
home games. It also was the first
time in 36 games that the potent
Pony offense has been held without
a touchdown.
That was only one of the plaudits
for an A&M defense, which may
have played its best game of the
vear. The Mustangs were restricted
to only 135 yards on the ground and
203 yards overall. Running back
Wayne Morris almost gained that
much by himself against the Texas
Longhorns. Morris gained only
eight steps in seven totes against the
No. 1 defense in the nation.
The Ponies were successful on
only seven of 19 third down situa
tions, receiving aid from the officials
on four occasions to obtain first
downs.
In another critical category, first
down yardage, SMU averaged a lit
tle over two yards per play. The Ag
gies managed five yards per first
snap, while making good on eight of
14 third down attempts.
The defensive stars were many.
Besides the heroics of Simonini and
Thomas (who had a fumble recovery
to go with his two interceptions),
there was a cluster of hard-hitting,
determined defenders.
The pride of the Aggie defense
was exemplified by the goal line

stand in the fourth quarter. Al
though far ahead and in no danger,
the defense nevertheless held SMU
for four downs inside the ten.
Jackie Williams was in on 11 tack
les with Robert Jackson in on ten.
Simonini and Edgar Fields followed
with nine stops. Jackson, Hayes and
Blake Schwarz each had quarter
back sacks to their credit.
SMU’s quickfooted quarterback,
Ricky Wessons, bore the brunt of
the Aggie assault which seemed
bent on vengeance for last year’s up
set. It appeared on several plays al
most miraculous that he was able to
pick himself up from the turf.
“We were sort of wondering how
their offense would do against us
and I feel we totally dominated
therri. They were the first Wishbone
team we have played against and I
think we did a good job of control
ling them. We remembered the
game against them last year. We
wanted to beat a good team heavi
ly,’’ said linebacker Garth Ten
Napel, who broke a thumb in the
contest.
The Aggies set the tempo of the
game from the first play with
Thomas intercepting a Wesson
pass. About his pickoffs and record,
the Aggie All-American said, “I
knew the dude had the pass caught.
I looked up and there was the ball.
On the first one, I was reading the
ball and the quarterback the whole
way. He added, T always wanted
to be in the record book. It was in
the back of my mind that I needed a
few more.
The Aggie offense presented a ba
lance between passing and rushing
that has been missing in prior
games, though not actually a neces
sity for the run-oriented Aggies. In
all, they had 345 yards including 162
in the air. Most of that came on the
longest pass play in the Southwest
Conference this year, an 84 yarder
to halfback Skip Walker for the first
of his two touchdowns.
Fullback George Woodard again
did a good job, accumulating 106
yards on 23 carries. This was his first
start and third time to go over the
century mark.
Shipman was two of four via the
airways while Jay was five of nine.
Jay’s arm accounted for 30 yards of
the last second drive just before the
half that ended in a Franklin field
goal.
The Ags remain in a tie with Texas
for leadership in the SWC. The
Ponies drop to 3-6 on the year.

Simonini takes handoff
Texas A&M linebacker Ed Simonini be- off an SMU fumble. This was his first score
gins to head for the goalline after picking as an Aggie.
A&M received its share of lumps
in the contest, however. Besides
Ten Napel, Grady Wilkerson also
has a broken thumb. Shipman and
tackle Glenn Bujnoch have injured
knees.
Defensive tackle Jimmy Dean,
and center Henry Tracy remain out
with a slashed thumb and a de
tached retina respectively. They
will be replaced by David Bair-
rington and Steve Spitzenberger on
defense and Mark Dennard at the
center spot.
Halfback Ronnie Hubby is still
out with a pulled hamstring and may
miss this week’s game with Rice.
While the Aggies will have to nurse
their hurts this week, the Owls also
have their share of wounds. Stellar
linebacker Rodney Norton is not
expected to play.
A&M now has an eight-game
head of steam going into the Rice
game, but a glance has to be cast
forward for the expected showdown
with the Longhorns. The Arkansas
Razorhacks may have something to
say before the year is out.

However, those problems are for
the future. As for now, the Aggies
are undefeated eight games into the
season. No other conference team
can say that.

WACO, Tex. —Two Baylor star
ters are definitely out and four more
are doubtful for the Bear’s
regionally-televised Southwest
Conference football game with
Texas Tech at Lubbock on Saturday.
Baylor Coach Grant Teaflf said
safety Ken Quesenberry and
llinebacker Johnny Slaughter are de
finitely out while three defensive
tackles — starters Flynn Bucy and
Wharton Foster and backup man
Les Benson are on the doubtful list.
Also questionable for Saturday is
starting defensive end Keavin
McDonald.
Quesenberry has a broken left
arm and Slaughter a severe knww
strain, Teaff said.
FORT WORTH, Tex. — Four
freshmen will be in the starting
lineup Saturday when Texas Christ
ian takes on Southwest Conference
football foe Texas in Austin.
Horned Frog,Coach Jim Shofner
on Monday promoted offensive
tackle Anthony Mican and
linebacker Mack George to the first
team. They will join rookie defen
sive backs Darryl Lowe and Marvin
Brown in starting roles.
COLLEGE STATION, Tex. —
Texas A&M Coach Emory Bellard
said Monday his third-ranked Ag
gies were in their worst physical
shape of the 1975 football season as
they began preparations for Satur
day’s Southwest Conference game
against Rice at Houston.
Six starters and a key reserve
were on the sidelines as the squad
worked out Monday afternoon.
Linebackers Garth Ten Napel
and Grady Wilkerson received bro
ken thumbs in the Aggies 36-3 win
over Southern Methodist last
Saturday. Bellard said their playing
status won’t be known until possibly
Friday.
Defensive tackle Jimmy Dean
has a slashed thumb in a cast and
center Henry Tracy is out with an
eye injury. Both missed the SMU
game and will be out again this
week.
Reserve offensive halfback Ron
nie Hubby still is hampered by a
pulled hamstring muscle and may
miss the Rice game.
DALLAS — Southern Methodist
Coach Dave Smith, whose team is
trying to break a four-game losing
streak against Arkansas in Dallas on
Saturday, said Monday the Razor-
backs are probably stronger than
they have been in the past three
years.
SMU and Arkansas have battled
to 7-7 and 24-24 ties in the past two
years.
Hearing held on
Olympic games
Associated Press
NEW YORK — Ralph Metcalfe,
the old Olympic sprinter, is letting
his cushioned seat get cold in the
House of Representatives down in
Washington, D. C., but he’s making
no apologies.
He feels he is on a more impor
tant mission.
“The President called us together
and said he wanted us to get our
Olympic house in order for the 1976
Games, the Illinois congressman
said Monday. “I think the job I am
doing here is very important. “After
all, sports and life are the same.
They involve respect for one
another. They teach us to learn to
accept defeat with dignity and vic
tory with humility.’’
Metcalfe is a member of the Pres
ident’s Commission on Olympic
Sports, conducting hearings hereon
ways to rid the country of feuding
factions and to improve America’s
role in international competition.
The 23-member commission,
headed by Gerald B. Zomow and
including personalities from Con
gress and sports, heard Phillip O.
Krumm, president of the U. S.
Olympic Committee, other top
USOC officials and West Germany’s
Willi Daume in the opening session
Monday.
Our nation, united in goal and
