Aggie notes.
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

gins, Tom Glass, Ralph Havens and Ross Oliver.

last Saturday. Kohrs was the top individual with a
sixth place showing. Mitchell was 16th, Bratton
31st, Huggins 32nd, and Glass 36th.
The Texas Atx M women s cross country team will
host its annual invitational meet Saturday at noon on

‘The bash’
again
United Press International
If that old concrete structure in
the middle of the Texas State Fair
grounds could speak, it would be
right about now that it would he say
ing:
“Oh, no. 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.
