Bengals upset Oilers
United Press International
CINCINNATI — Cincinnati Ben
gals’ head coach Homer Rice spoke
confidently to his winless team just
before Sunday’s game against Hous
ton.
“We re a time bomb,” he said.
“And we re going to explode.”
The prediction was right on target.
The Bengals, coming into the
game as the laughing stock of the
NFL with a 0-8 record and no
touchdowns in the previous 13 quar
ters, exploded for four TDs to shock
the heavily favored Oilers, 28-13.
Sighed Rice after the long-awaited
first win, T’m numb.”
“I’d forgotten how to win,” added
Bengals’ defensive lineman Gary
Burley. “For awhile around here, I
thought people enjoyed losing. ”
Bengals’ general manager Paul
Brown, under fire for the winless
string and criticized by some for re
placing former head coach Bill
Johnson with Rice four games ago,
was quick to go into the locker room
after the win and congratulate Rice.
“That looks like our old team,”
praised Brown, shaking Rice’s hand
several times. “A fine job. They can
play anybody. It looks like our old
team again.”
For sure, it looked like the old Ken
Anderson again.
Anderson, finally shaking off the
effects of a broken hand, personally
sparked the win by firing a 45-yard
touchdown pass to Isaac Curtis and
throwing bombs of 43 and 45 yards to
set up one-yard TD runs by Pete
Johnson and Tony Davis.
The Bengals’ other TD, another
one-yard run by Johnson, also was
triggered by a big play — a 65-yard
dash by rookie David “Deacon”
Turner all the way to the Houston
two.
“The difference was the big play,”
agreed Rice. “We made it
everytime. Kenny was ready. He
was throwing like he can.”
Anderson, who had been inter
cepted 10 times in the past four
games, was not intercepted Sunday
and completed 11 of 16 passes for 268
yards.
“It’s a big relief to finally get a
win,” said Anderson, “because, be
lieve me, 1-8 is a whole lot better
than 0-9.”
Houston, which had been sky high
all this past week after Monday
night’s conquest of previously un
beaten Pittsburgh, came down to
earth with a thud.
“Cincinnati played like they know
how and, to be honest, we played
like we didn’t,” said Oilers’ Head
Coach Bum Phillips, whose team is
now 5-4.
Chimed in Houston quarterback
Dan Pastorini, who accounted for
the Oilers’ only two touchdowns
with a 16-yard pass to Ken Burrough
and a six-yarder to Mike Renfro in
the last quarter after the game was
out of reach, “They certainly didn’t
play like the 0-8 team they were.
“We were ready for them,” added
Pastorini, insisting the Oilers we
ren’t taking Cincy lightly after whip
ping Pittsburgh. “They played good
defense and they just beat us.”
Cincinnati, thanks to the 1-yard
touchdown runs of Johnson and
Davis, had mounted a 21-0 lead be
fore Houston finally scored midway
through the final quarter.
After the Oilers had pulled to
within 21-6 on Pastorini’s 16-yard
pass to Burrough with 7:23 remain
ing, Anderson quickly teamed on a
45-yard scoring pass to Curtis, to up
the margin to 28-6.
Houston got a final tally on Pasto
rini’s 6-yard pass to Renfro in the
closing minutes, but by then the out
come had been decided.
The Bengals, who came into the
game with 13 straight quarters with
out a touchdown, got their first
touchdown of the day late in the first
period on a 1-yard run by Johnson
that was set up by Anderson’s 43-
yard pass to Billy Brooks.
Cincinnati upped its lead to 14-0
early in the third quarter when An
derson lofted a 57-yard pass to Cur
tis, setting up a 1-yard scoring run by
Davis.
Cincinnati’s lead then widened to
21-0 in the closing seconds of the
third quarter when rookie David
“Deacon” Turner dashed 65-yards to
the Houston two, setting up another
1-yard touchdown burst by Johnson.
Houston’s deepest penetration
had been the Cincinnati 41-yard line
until midway through the last quar
ter when Pastorini threw his two
touchdown passes.
But any hopes of an Oilers’ come
back was thwarted by the 45-yard
Anderson to Curtis touchdown pass.

Dedication Ceremony
By An Arm —
The atmosphere sparked
with friendship and respect at
the Penberthy dedication
ceremony Saturday, October
21. The new IM complex has
been named for Walter Loven
Penberthy, a past Intramural
Director who is known as the
father of A&M intramurals.
Mr. Penberthy received a
plaque from the Board of Re
gents and the IM office was
presented a portrait of Mr.
Penberthy. Speakers at the
ceremony included Dr. Jarvis
Miller, president of A&M Uni
versity; Dr. Koldus, Vice Pres
ident for Student Services;
“Spike” White, a past IM Di
rector who worked under Mr.
Penberthy, and Mr. Penber
thy, himself. The “complex” is
now named the Penberthy In
tramural Center.
It could have been a photo finish
— it was only won by an arm. In
case you’re confused, we’re talking
about the IM arm wrestling con
test. Congratulations, an IM
T-shirt and a hearty handshake to
the 1978-79 champs.

Mr. Penny
Walter Loren Penberthy,
known as “Mr. Penny”
graduated from Ohio State
University in 1926 and came to
Texas A&M College in that
same year to serve as in
tramural director and assistant
professor of physical education.
H is philosophy was that
every interested student
should have the opportunity to
participate in IM; working from
this philosophy, he reorganized
the program from battalion
level to smaller units so all stu
dents could participate. This
ideal still followed by the IM
program which reaches almost
every student at A&M.
Mr. Penberthy also served as
Department Head, Dean of
Men, Chairman of the Athletic
Council (and was responsible
for Kyle Field’s first expan
sion), Chairman of the MSC
Council, and Professor of
H&PE during his 40 years at
A&M.
Mr. Penberthy retired in
1966. He knew more students
by name than almost any other
professor, wrote a philosophy
column in the “Battalion” for
many years and was very
student-oriented.
