The 104,802 on hand for the A&M-Michigan game was the third largest ever at Michigan Stadium. The past two Ohio State games there drew 105,543 in 1975 and 105,223 in 1973....It was the largest crowd ever for a Southwest Conference team. A6cM Coach Emory Bollard: “The first half was about even. We might have had the upper hand a little bit. But in the second half Michigan beat us in every phase of the game of football, whipped us soundly. We had our oportunities in the first half but couldn’t make the plays we needed to make. Our players were just lackadasical. 1 simply just don’t have another word for it. The turning point was our fumble near the end of the first half. ...The season is not over. This has been a humiliating loss, lhate it and our players hate it. We hurt about it. But now we’ve got to regroup and put it all hack together for Baylor. Michigan Coach Bo Schembechler: "That was a good win for us. I’m proud of our defense. We made a few mistakes hut we never cracked. I’d have to say the score was not indicative of the strength of these two teams. Texas A6cM is an outstanding team and 1 don’t want to take anything away from them....I look at the great win A&M had last week against Texas Tech and then what happened here and all I can say is we have to forget this one and get ready to play just like this again next week against Michigan State...The touchdown right before the half was the key to the win. It was the first time in seven years that we optioned for the wind at the start rather than receiving. That was because of our fear of Tony Franklin’s field-goal kicking. Franklin now has kicked 7 consecutive field goals. The NCAA record is 11... .Franklin s NCAA dis tance record was erased Saturday by Texas Russell Erxleben who hoofed a 67-yard field goal against Rice....A&M is idle this week, then goes on the road to Baylor and Rice before playing its second home game of the season against SMU on October 29.. ..Big George Woodard carried 39 times for 153 yards against Michigan....A&M ran 80 plays to 63 for Michigan while the Wolverines had 300 total yards and AfxM 211...But the Aggies lost four fum bles, had two passes intercepted and one punt blocked ...Against Texas Tech the Aggies had only one turnover. The Aggies can knock on wood because thus far theyve suffered no major injuries Defensive tackle Johnnie Donahue sprained an ankle and QB David Walker had his bell rung in the Michigan contest but all should he hale and hearty within a few days Curtis Dickey rushed for 45 yards against Michigan and now is No. 10 on the all-time A&M list with 1,096 He passed John Kim brough A&M’s winning streak was snapped at 10.. .(^B David Walker now is 21-7 as a starter....It’s s^ilot the end of the world, said safety Carl Grulich. We still have our chance to win the* SWG and go to the Cotton Bowl, but we’ve got to stick together as a unit. ” The Texas A8cM mens cross country team will run in the Arlington Invitational in Arlington Friday afternoon. Running for the Aggies will he Manfred Kohrs, Lane Mitchell, Keith Bratton, Rick Hug gins, Tom Glass, Ralph Havens and Ross Oliver. The Aggies finished fifth in the Rice Invitational last Saturday.

Not again.” But, yes, again it is. Around the world of college foot ball it’s known as Texas vs. Okla homa. Around the watering spots of Norman, Austin and Dallas, it’s simply known as “the bash.” The bash begins along about the middle of the week and the game, for those left who really care, comes next Saturday. For the 72nd time the Sooners and Longhorns will mangle each other in One of college football’s greatest rivalries and, once more, the game will be of interest to more than just friends and relatives. And, once again, the game will coincide with the opening of the Texas State Fair, the United States’ largest annual exposition. There will be far more than a quarter of a mil lion people swirling around the grounds Saturday, getting sick on cotton candy, wrenching their necks out of joint on the roller coaster and having a look at the livestock. But only 72,032 of them will make it inside the Cotton Bowl, where coaches Barry Switzer and Fred Akers will unleash their troops. “We ought to be fresh for Okla homa,” said Akers, who for the first time will be the head coach in the biggie. “We would have liked to have had more work for our first unit.” Texas’ first string played only a bit last Saturday because the Long horns were crunching Rice, 72-15. As is usually the case, the Texas-Oklahoma affair will far over shadow any other contest in the Southwest Conference, even though the nation’s longest major college losing streak could come to a halt. TCU, which lost its 15th in a row to Arkansas last Saturday, 42-6, will take on the weak Rice Owls in Houston. Another conference game has SMU 2-2, which played scrap- pily in a 35-7 loss to Ohio State traveling to Baylor, a . last minute 28-24 loser to Houston. Texas Tech 3-1, which nipped North Carolina Saturday, 10-7, will face Arizona on the road. Texas A6cM, embarrassed by Michigan, 41-3, Houston and Ar kansas have the week off. Oklahoma carried a No. 2 national ranking into its victory over Kansas last week and Texas was No. 8. So, as is often the case, both teams will he undefeated and ranked in the top ten when their meeting comes around. And this year’s game promises to be more entertaining than last year’s non-epic, which saw unimaginative offense all afternoon and, finally, a botched extra point attempt by Oklahoma at the end of the game which left it in a 6-6 tie. Saturday’s confrontation will give everyone a clue as to just how good the Longhorns are. They have overwhelmed three opponents and have a speedy, diversified attack which could give Oklahoma prob lems if the Sooners continue to lose fumbles as they have this season. T’d try witchcraft to get rid of those fumbles,” said Switzer.
