Ags can’t ‘bear’ loss
By SEAN PETTY
United Press International
The Texas Aggies may not have
lost their poise in their 17-7 loss to
the Baylor Bears but they did lose
their grip.
It’s the kind of grip the Aggie of
fense has lost in losing two games in a
row. The Aggies managed to fumble
their way to another loss which
marks the first time since 1969 that
an A&M team has lost it’s first two
games.
On the other hand, it was the first
time since 1965 that Baylor had won
it’s first two games.
So much for trivia. What matters is
that the Aggies are now 0-1 in the
Southwest Conference and they’re
just out of the blocks in the long con
ference race.
It was also a game where the A&M
defense played well enough to win
once again. After giving up 17 points
in the second quarter, the Aggies
shut the Bears down and physically
beat them the second half.
But 17 points and the first half
were all the Bears needed to defeat
the Ags.
Last year’s nemace, Baylor
halfback Walter Abercrombie, ran
right up the Aggies’ belly for 88 yards
and a touchdown in the first half. In
the Bears first scoring drive, Aber
crombie carried the ball six of the
nine plays it took Baylor to move the
ball 73 yards for the score. And the
scoring drive was all on the ground.
The Bears went on to score their
next two possessions with quarter
back Mickey Elam plunging over for
a touchdown and kicker Robert
Bledsoe adding a field goal with four
seconds left in the half.
It was a Baylor first half.
“They physically beat us the first
half,” said Aggie head coach Tom
Wilson. “It seems like we are going
to make something happen and then
we just self destruct. These two
games we’ve just made big mistakes
and self destructed. I can’t explain
it.”
Aggie defensive end Jacob Green,
who had an outstanding night for the
Aggies with 22 tackles (11 unas
sisted), explained why Abercrombie
ran at will up the Aggie middle the
entire first half.
“All he (Abercrombie) was doing
was starting one way and then com
ing back the other way, ” Green said.
“Our linebackers would react to his
first step and be off balance when he
cut back. They just committed too
early.
“We just adjusted in the second
half and held ’em. ”
The Aggies scored in the third
quarter after an impressive drive.
Runs by quarterback Mike Mosley
and Curtis Dickey highlighted the
drive with David Brothers going in
for the score.
The Ags ended the evening with
four fumbles, losing three of them.
But that was about the only category
the Ags led. The Bears had 351 yards
rushing to A&M’s 259. 315 of those
yards were on the ground.
A&M punter David Appleby was
one of the busiest men on the Aggie
team as he punted nine times for a
39.2-yard average. Baylor’s Ron I
Stowe was almost as busy punting I
eight times for a 44.6-yard average.
The Aggie defense made some big
plays in the second half but the of
fense never did take advantage of
them. Leandrew Brown’s intercep
tion at the Baylor 35-yard line was
nullified by a Brothers’ fumble three
plays later.
Then with 8:15 left in the game.
Brown was in the right place again
recovering an Elam fumble at the
A&M 49-yard line. But the offense
stalled and the Aggies never got the
ball back.
“I could talk all night about the
injuries we have,” Wilson said, “but
injuries didn’t beat us tonight. We
were just whipped in the first half. ”
Although Abercrombie rushed for
137 yards for Baylor, linebacker Cal
Peveto was unimpressed.
“He ain’t s—,” Peveto said. “We
just made some mistakes in the first
half but adjusted and held them in
the second. It’s frustrating to lose
this way but we lose as ateam not just
the offense or defense.”
“We re too good a team to be mak
ing these mistakes,” receiver David
Scott said. “No coaches are working
harder than our coaches but you
can’t coach against mistakes and they
can’t go out there and hold on to the
ball for us. ”
ing four passes in the first start of
Chiefs rookie quarterback Steve
Fuller.
Oiler’s safety Mike Reinfeldt and
cornerback J.C. Wilson each picked
off two passes. All of Fuller’s inter
ceptions were costly as the Oilers
ended three deep Chief s drives with
three of them and turned another
one into a 28-yard Toni Fritsch field
goal with 10 seconds remaining in
the first half.
Fullback Tim Wilson took a screen
pass from Nielsen earlier in the half
and scored to increase Houston’s
lead to eight points.
Fritsch booted a 23-yard field goal
late in the game to provide Hous
ton’s only scoring in the second half.
Gregg Bingham’s recovery of a
Tony Reed fumble at the Chief s 44-
yard line late in the first quarter al
lowed Houston to score first.
Nielsen, who replaced the injured
Dan Pastorini, quickly hit Mike
Barber with a 37-yard pass to the
Chief s 4-yard line and then handed
to Campbell for a 4-yard scoring run.
The Chiefs failed to tie the score
moments later after Smith’s punt re
turn as Jan Stenerud’s point after
kick was blocked by Vernon Perry.
Later, with the Chiefs trailing
14-6, Stenerud booted a 27-yard
field goal attempt wide to the right.
Campbell, the NFL’s leading
rusher in 1978, gained 106 of his
yards in the first half. Campbell’s 132
yards were gained on 30 carries.
Fuller replaced veteran quarter
back Mike Livingston in the second
quarter of the Chief s 27-24 loss to
Cleveland a week ago, but in that
game he rallied his team for four sec
ond half scores. He completed 11 of
27 passes for 138 yards Sunday.

Caught In The Action
A true “behind the scenes” per
son in Intramurals is the one who
does all the “goforing” and leg-
work; the person who signs teams
up, works out schedules, runs into
the IM Office between classes,
makes sure the team knows the
who, what, when, and where and
does a million other tiny details
that need to be taken care of.
Sound like a big job? Now multi
ply those duties by as many IM
events as there are and by as many
persons as there are in a dorm.
Who is the sporting chap who
handles all this? No, it’s not Tom
Wilson, or a P. E. coach. It’s an In
tramural Dorm Team Manager.
Deanie Meadows, a senior
health education major from
Poteet, Texas, fills this position for
Keathley Hall. She’s good at it,
too. This is Deanie’s second year
as IM Chairman for Keathley and
last year she was named Outstand
ing Dorm Team Manager. Deanie
plays a lot of Intramurals and is ac
tive in recruiting women’s in
volvement. Last year under
Deanie’s guidance, Keathley won
the Women’s Playday, and placed
third in Women’s Dorm All-
University competition. Keathley
also had tennis, soccer, horseshoe
doubles, and racquetball singles
and doubles champions.
Keathley has about 50%
freshmen this year and Deanie is
gearing up to create enthusiasm
for Intramurals. She has a good
start with over 60 girls signed up
for flag football.
Deanie has other interests be
sides Intramurals, of course. She
grows a lot of plants in her dorm
room, is a cat lover and claims
Lakeview as her favorite leisure
time place.
Yep, all these people want racquetball courts and othe/'
equipment from the ID checker in DeWare. This is just a
small sample of the 350 to 400 Aggies who utilize DeWare
Fieldhouse nightly.
