latching Texas Tech Red Raid-
rsltruggle against Texas Saturday
It brought to mind the saying
lit ifs and huts and Merry
ftstmases. If it wasn’t for their
^ of turnovers and if their
Lian quarterback performed up
Is capabilities and if they could
( stopped Johnny Ham Jones,
I could have made the game en-
iyu|)|e to watch. It wasn't.
Ihe Red Raiders folded up
Inst the Longhorns and came
[y with a 24-7 loss in head coach
e| Dockey’s Southwest Confer-
|e premiere contest. W ith the
loss the Red Raiders fell to 1-2 on
the season and to the cellar in the
conference race.
The Tech demise started on its
fust possession when Ron Reeves,
starting his first game at quarterback
for the Raiders, threw his third pass
of the night into the hands of Texas
linebacker Bruce Scholtz who re
turned the ball to Tech's 39 yard
line.
The Texas offense wasted little
time in converting the first turnover
into points. Five plays and two and
one half minutes later the score was
7-0 and the contest was never
closer.
Of five turnovers Tech committed
on the night, the Longhorns con
verted three into touchdowns, aided
greatly by the performance of Ham
Jones. In his first good game since
becoming a Texas Longhorn, the
senior from Hamlin carried 21 times
for 128 yards and two touchdowns.
I just decided I wasn’t going to
be denied anything tonight,” Jones
said after the game. “I’ve had two
bad games in a row and I got tired of
holding my head down and feeling
sorry for myself. I made up my mind
I was going after them and do any
thing I could to help the team.”
Ham was the key to the Texas at
tack in Saturday’s game but across
the field a man by the name of
Reeves was hurting Tech’s efforts.

Redskins put on a spectacular goal
line stand to force Dallas to kick,
and again stopped the Cowboys
midway through the final period
when safety Ken Houston made a
game-saving interception of a Roger
Staubach pass in the end zone.
In the final two minutes,
Staubach drove the Cowboys from
their 29 to the Washington 10, but
Robert Newhouse lost 3 yards on a
run and an attempted pass to Drew
Pearson was incomplete. After Dal
las drew a delay of game penalty, a
desperation fourth-down pass in
tended for Tony Hill was over
thrown in the corner of the end
zone.
The final two points came when
Washington quarterback Joe
Theismann took an intentional
safety with time running out.
Dallas is 3-2, tied with the New
York Giants and Philadelphia Eagles
for second place in the NFC East.
The three field goals were sweet
revenge for Moseley, a seven-year
veteran, cut by two other NFL
teams. The Cowboys had ques

shoe, but numerous inspections had
turned up nothing.
Moseley kicked bis first two field
goals — including the 52-yarder, his
longest of the season — to cap the
Redskins’ only two scoring threats of
the first half.
Moseley kicked the field goal with
10:59 left in the first quarter.
Moseley kicked his second field
goal with 11:15 remaining in the
half.
The Cowboys took the second half
kickoff on their 24 and drove all the
way to a first down on the Redskin
2. But the Redskins stopped Preston
Pearson on one running play and
Tony Dorsett on two more for a
spectacular goal line stand that
brought on Septien to kick his field
goal.
Washington retaliated with a
drive of its own to the Dallas 9. But
a third down Theismann pass in
tended for McDaniel went awry.
Moseley came on to kick his third
field goal with 2:40 left in the quar
ter.
victory over Arizona, the Raider
freshman had his problems against
the stingy Longhorn defense.
Reeves went 9 for 23 passing in the
game for 151 yards with one inter
ception.
“The Texas defense didn’t really
confuse me. Reeves said. “They
gave us more zone coverage in the
secondary than we expected hut
that was about all they did different
to what we expected.
"But they did teach me some
things tonight. I learned tonight
from my mistakes. It was only my
second game and it was hard for me
to read the defenses they did use
against us. But we were able to
move the hall the entire game until
we killed ourself with stupid mis
takes. All we can do is not look hack
at Texas and go on from here.”
And that s the job confronting
coach Dockery as he prepares his
team for the Texas A&M game this
weekend.
"The mistakes we made are just a
part of football, Dockery reflected.
"You try to learn whether you win
or lose and that’s what this team
needs to do. Mistakes are part of
growing up as football players.
If they look deep enough the
Raiders can find some good in their
loss. They can lay claim to the fact
that they scored the first touchdown
of the year on the nation’s leading
defense. Or that they gained 283
yards total offense and could have
scored much more if they could hold
on to the football. And they held
one of tin* most potent offenses in
the country to under 400 total yards
on the evening.
“Texas just forces you into errors
and then jumps on you, Dockery
said. “Without our mistakes we
played a good enough game to heat
them. And that’s what we 11 have to
stress to our players. We can t afford
to let these guys die now. We hav e
eight more games ahead to look at.
This one’s over and it’s time to
forget it.
