Battalion photo by Pat0Milr| Ags wake up to smash Omjll By SEAN PETTY Battalion Sports Editor Although the Texas Aggies won their first Southwest Conference game of the year by soundly defeat ing the Rice Owls 41-15, it was really more a contest to see which team could stay awake the entire game. The game took over three hours to play because of Rice s numerous futile passing attempts and the re ferees’ insistence on throwing a flag every play in the last two minutes of the game. The Aggies set the listless tone early in the first quarter when it looked like neither team wanted to win, much less play. The first quar ter also featured a punting duel be tween A&M’s David Appleby and Rice’s Steve Cleaves. Each team punted three times before either team got rolling. The Aggies did put together a drive which ended in a familiar sight to Aggie fans this season when Cur tis Dickey fumbled on the Rice one-yard line to kill the Aggie drive. The only thing that kept the fans awake throughout the first quarter was watching and waiting for Dickey to gain 78 yards and become the second leading all-time rusher in SWC history. Dickey obliged the fans by gaining 100 yards in the first quarter alone and finishing the game with 127 yards on 21 carries. The second quarter saw both teams wake up and start moving the ball. The Owls struck first, bringing out their shotgun to score the first touchdown of the game. Rice quar terback Randy Hertel threw an 18- yard touchdown pass from the shot gun formation to Bobby Williams to give the Owls a short-lived lead. The Owl touchdown and Aggie freshman Earnest Jackson s 70-yard kickoff return immediately following the Owls’ score were all that was needed to get the Aggie machine rolling and scoring. David Hardy started the Ags scoring with a 21-yard field goal. It was all A&M from then on. "The kickoff return was definitely a positive influence that early in the game, said A&M coach Tom Wil son. “It really gave us the spark we needed to get going. The second quarter was all the Aggies needed to slam the cellar door on the conference cellar dwelling Owls. And the Owls showed why they belong in last place. “They scored 20 points in a few minutes and didn t have to go very far for them,’ said a frustrated Ray Alborn about his Owl team. “You can t give people with their ability that many opportunities but give the Aggies credit for taking advan tage of the chances we gave them. "We had an awful lot of slipping down by men who were open. I don't know why, we wear the same shoes as everybody else. The Owls went into the A&M game riddled with injuries and came out even more, hanged up as the Rice trainers were on the field al most as much as the Rice football team, carrying players off through out. Meanwhile, the Aggies came out of the game in good shape with no one really playing long enough to get hurt as all 60 players that made the trip played. "The most positive thing is that we needed to look at some of our younger players and we got that chance today,' Wilson said ' very pleased with the runs (freshmen) Johnny Hector an! nest Jackson. We played’ero day, all 60 players and lb some good effort and sok takes." Aggie quarteback Mike SI had another solid game fis with 40 yards rushing andfc seven passing for 60 yards.
