Ponies play ‘perfect’
game in 27-7 victory
[ By RITCHIE PRIDDY
Sports Editor
TheSMU Mustangs handed the
Texas Aggies their first “thor-
augh” beating of the year 27-7
Saturday to give them sole posses-
iion of first place in the Southwest
Conference race.
Quarterback Lance Mcllhenny
prided the Mustangs in their
|uest, running for 38 yards and
rassing for another 106. While his
tats weren’t too impressive his
eadership and ball handling play-
id a key role in the game.
Tailbacks Eric Dickerson and
Iraig James provided the majority
if the ofifensive fireworks for the
'onies, running over, through
nd between Aggie defensive
layers. The two combined for 207
ards with Dickerson responsible
or 123 yards and three touch-
lowns.
“They’ve got a good offensive
inebut Dickerson and James do a
ot of things on their own.” head
iggie coach Tom Wilson said.
But, of course, Mcllhenny and
Ihe way he runs the option keeps
our defense spread out. ”
; The highly publicized backfield
ombination Dickerson and James
lever took place. Pregame rumors
lad James running fullback and
iickerson running tailback in the
ame backfield.
“We just got our tails beat.
That’s all I can say about it, ” Wil-
onsaid. “SMU has a very, very
fine football team. But, I couldn’t
say we played particularly well.
For the second straight year the
Mustangs rolled up 27 points and
for the second year in a row the
Aggies outgained the Ponies. This
time the Ags finished with 371 tot
al yards. SMU had 362.
The Aggies had 162 yards on the
ground, but those yards came
hard. Tailback Johnny Hector
finished the day with 42 yards on
1 carries while fullback Earnest
Jackson had 58 yards on 11
attempts.
Hector scored the Ag’s lone
touchdown early in the fourth
fliiarter, the first touchdown
scored on SMU in eight quarters.
Quarterback Gary Kubiak, suf
fering one of his worst days at the
helm, completed 14-of-30 passes
for 257 yards including three in
terceptions.
Wilson said that the wet turf
took its toll on the junior signal
caller, forcing him to throw a
heavier, rain-soaked football.
“Gary had his problems throw
ing the wet ball but that’s not in
tended to be an excuse. We just
got beat by a fine football team,”
he said.
The Mustangs played their role
to perfection Saturday, mixing
their offenses up and keeping the
Aggie offense bottled up in their
end of the field throughout the
game.
We never could get field posi
tion. We were always backed up
80to85yards from the goal line,”
Wilson said. “Our offensive team
moved the football. That’s asking a
great deal for our football team to
move the ball 85 yards on SMU’s
defense.
“When we did have the oppor
tunity to get some field position
SMU was able to make the play
and get out of the hole.”
Turnovers played a key role in
the game. For the third week in a
row the Aggies fumbled the first
time they touched the ball. This
time Hector took a handoff over
right tackle but was promptly met
by linebacker Eric Ferguson who
forced a fumble. Comerback Rus
sell Carter pounced on the ball for
the Ponies.
SMU came out passing on the
Aggies, something they hadn’t
done in past games. Mcllhenny
threw for 108 yards on six of 16
passes, all of that coming in the
first half.
“I don’t think it was any surprise
that they were passing,” Wilson
said. “The type of passes they
were throwing were sprint-out
passes which are very high per
centage.”
SMU took a 12-0 lead into the
lockerroom at the half, thanks to
two field goals from All-SWC
placekicker Eddie Garcia and
Dickerson’s first td.
Garcia kicked field goals of 19
and 38 yards, both direct results of
Aggie turnovers.
Dickerson scored with 1:25 left
in the half capping a 26-yard drive
following another Aggie turnover.
The Ponies went for two but
failed.
Total offense the first half was
even for the most part. Dickerson,
however, had only 24 yards on
eight carries.
SMU scored in the third period
on a 60-yard drive that ended with
Dickerson diving for his second
score.
Ball control accurately de
scribed the third quarter. SMU
held the ball 10:18 while the Ags
had it 4:42. The Mustangs had 102
yards in offense the third period
while the Aggies had only 57, all
but four coming in the last 1:42.
The Mustangs were playing
without their all-SWC noseguard
Michael Carter who underwent
knee surgery Friday night and will
be lost for the year. They were also
without the services of punter
Eric Kaifes but James, who had
punted in high school, more than
made up for his absence.
James punted nine times for a
42.1 yard average including three
quick kicks on third down that
caught the Aggies by surprise.
“We didn’t expect that at all,”
free safety Billy Cannon said. “We
haven’t worked on that or any
thing. They just caught us by sur
prise.”
Though the Aggies were down
19-7 with less than two minutes
left in the game, Wilson said the
Ags never gave up.
SMU put the game out of reach
when Kubiak stepped out of the
endzone giving the Ponies
another two points. With 1:55 left
Dickerson took off around left end
for a 26-yard td run.

Volleyball team finishes second
in SWC tournament in Austin
By GAYE DENLEY
Battalion StafF
The University of Texas women’s volleyball
team preserved its unblemished season record
against the Aggies with a 3-0 blitzing of Texas
A&M in the finals of this weekend’s Southwest
Conference Tournament in Austin.
All-SWC selections Wendy Wilson, Sue
Wetzel and Jennifer Geise led the Aggies to a
3-0 record in the preliminary rounds, with
wins over the University of Houston, Texas
Tech University, and Rice University. Che-
mine Doty, who was injured during the finals
match against Texas, was named second-team
All-SWC.
The 18th-rated Aggies opened tournament
play with a 15-5, 15-5, 15-4 thrashing of the
Cougars and followed up by beating Texas
Tech in four games, 15-11, 15-3, 9-15, 15-9.
Rice managed only 13 total points in three
games as the Aggies rolled over the Owls 15-3,
15-5, 15-5 in the third match.
Since Baylor failed to appear at the tourna
ment, Texas A&M’s next match was in the
finals against the Longhorns, the only major
team in the state that the Aggies had not
beaten this season. Texas continued its streak
with a 16-14, 15-9, 15-2 victory to clinch the
championship.
“We played real well in the whole tourna
ment until Chemine Doty got hurt in the
second game against Texas,” Coach Terry
Condon said. “We never really recovered after
she went out of the lineup.”
The Aggies will play Texas once more on
Nov. 24 in G. Rollie White Coliseum, and will
spend the rest of November preparing for the
NCAA national championships in Los Angeles
Dec. 16-19.
