THE BATTALION Page 9
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1980
Quarterback David Beal Co cks his arm to throw behind the
blocking of Johnny Hector (left) and Thomas Sanders (right) in
Saturday’s 27-24 loss to the Arkansas Razorbacks. Beal, who

hails from Russellville, Ark., was instrumental in a 24-point
second half for the Aggies.
A&M men
knock off
Lamar, 6-1
After Saturday’s 6-1 win over
Lamar University, Texas A&M Head
Soccer Coach Telmo Franco had
good words for just about everyone.
Despite ending a rough Southwest
Conference race in an unexpected
third place position last week, the
Aggies came out ready to play in
Beaumont and raised their record to
7 3-5.
“This is their (Lamar’s) first year as
a varsity team, ” said Franco Sunday.
“They do have a pretty good team.”
But A&M proved to be better.
Five Aggies scored in the game, a
welcome sign for Franco, because
the offense has been somewhat lack
ing the past few games.
Fullback Sergio Bambren started
off the A&M output with a left foot
shot 22 minutes into the first half.
Ten minutes later, team captain Paul
Winston converted a penalty kick af
ter being knocked down from behind
in front of the goal.
Ramon Marin ended the first half
scoring when he took a fine pass from
fullback David Kreps and slipped the
ball past the Lamar goalie on a one-
on-one situation.
In the second half, Lamar scored
on a penalty kick, but the Aggies
answered 20 minutes into the half
when Marin scored again after a head
pass from Andy Case to make it 4-1.
Juan DeMadalengoita made it 5-1
with an assist from fullback Carlos
Clynes. Freshman Jim Nystrom en
ded the offensive parade with a goal
following a pass from Richard Zim-
.iggies find pride in losing effort
smiles.
Smiles? The Aggies had just lost a
heart-wrenching football game to the
Arkansas Razorbacks, 27-24, in front
of41,000 shivering Hog fans due to
an Ish Ordonez field goal with eight
seconds left.
After staging a dramatic comeback
that saw the Aggies score 24 points in
tie more than a quarter and tie
Razorbacks, the A&M players
were disappointed but satisfied.
Personally, I think we found out
for ourselves that we do have a lot of
pride, freshman cornerbaek Greg
Williams said after the game. “This is
StMm of the future. It’s my feeling
at we re a little better than most
:ople think we are. ”
The Razorbacks may tend to
out warm things a little prematurely.
The Aggies kicked off and the
Razorback receiver was annihilated
by an excellent special team’s effort.
The result was a fumble and the
Aggies’ Jeff Paine recovered at the
Hogs’ 17. Halfback Johnny Hector
then took a David Beal pitchout and
sprinted the distance for A&M’s first
score. The sophomore finished the
day with 136 yards, giving him 718
yards on the season.
Hector scored his second TD from
one yard out six minutes later to pull
A&M to within 10.
The defense was also getting fired
up. Arkansas quarterback Tom Jones
felt that fire with a little over a mi
nute left in the third quarter when he
was decked by sophomore lineback
er Will Wright on the Hogs’ 20.
On the next play, Williams raced
in untouched to block Steve Cox’s
punt out of the Hogs’ end zone for a
safety to make the score 24-16.
“The guy on the line wasn’t even
looking at me,” said Williams. “The
upback was looking off the other
way, so I went on in.”
In the final quarter, A&M staged a
final drive that ended with a beauti
ful lob pass by Beal to fullback Tho
mas Sanders in the comer of the end
zone for a 24-22 score. Beal then
slammed over from three yards out
in a dramatic two-point effort that
tied the game. The Aggie bench
erupted.
Arkansas squelched the com
eback, however, and drove to the
winning field goal with eight seconds
left.
“The players found out what en
thusiasm was all about,” said A&M
Head Coach Tom Wilson Sunday
night. “We got the momentum be
cause of that enthusiasm. We were
very disappointed at not being able
to win.
“The team came from behind;
they had not done that in the past.
We have not stayed competitive
when things have been down. I’ve
been looking for this in our football
team for a long, long time. We’ve
had to learn to overcome adversities.
I relate it to life in general. I think
the players should have learned a
good lesson.”
Senior linebacker Mike Little was
optimistic: “This team’s got a lot of
potential. It’ll all depend on indi
viduals — there’s variables there.
We just needed something to moti
vate us.”
Wright led the Aggies with 10
tackles, while Arlis James added
nine and Bobby Strogen, seven. Beal
was 10 for 24 for 107 yards passing.
Arkansas gained 405 yards total,
while the Aggies racked up 271.
“We just have to get people to
realize we can play,” said wide re
ceiver Mike Whitwell. “They finally
saw that the second half. Next week’s
a big week (against TCU in College
Station). If we don’t pick up where
we left off, then this last halfs not
gonna be any good.”

Arkansas roared out of the blocks
immediately, capitalizing on A&M
errors to build a comfortable 24-0
ad by halftime.
Then the game began.
A different Aggie team took the
field to start the second half, and
caught the Razorbacks dreaming ah-
