The Bears jumped to a 14-0 lead behind big plays led by quarterback Cody Carlson. But then the A&M defense as serted itself. On fourth and goal at the A&M 1, Aggie linebacker Todd Howard stuffed Baylor’s Charles Perry to give the ball back to A&M. The Aggies then held Baylor to a field goal on the next series after punt return specialist Rod Harris fumbled a punt which Baylor recov ered at the A&M 7. The A&M defense continued to play tough football from then on. Baylor scored one more touchdown and added two field goals after the 17-0 first-quarter lead, but it earned those points on solid offensive plays and not on A&M defensive miscues. Aggie cross country teams grab 3rd, 4th The Texas A&M men’s cross country team took third place in a 10-team field at the UTSA Invitatio nal Cross Country Meet Friday. A&M finished with 55 points, while Houston Baptist won the meet with 42. The Aggies’ top performer was Calvin Gaziano, who placed fifth in the five-mile race with a time of 25 minutes, 1 second. The A&M women’s squad also fared well, placing fourth in an eight-team division. The Aggies scored 81 points, finishing behind the University of Texas-San Anto nio, 30 points; Rice, 38; and Sout- west Texas State, 78 points. Further Baylor threats were squelched as the Aggies picked off three Carlson passes. Jeff Holley’s interception for A&M with 0:48 left in the game iced the victory. But it was the return of the A&M offense that keyed the win. While Baylor set up its scores with long yardage plays, the only big gainer for A&M was a 68-yard pass to Har- at the Ba ETROI tors Coi p- • it was pulnr Bjve that C '/S’ O /^Jfi« ributed u ‘ rn ^ AVT anti South / 5, ^ 0 S 0 ^j. ish aparthei, 0 ^'Rbeneral Ovai ft® jfilipigcst u.s. behind wo o IXunr R - Q o ^ A.Hrestor R #(T pnter in W l . r- vJ 'i fSniith A IT'S THE ris which put the ball aylor 5.

Murray moved the A&M offense slowly and methodically up the Field for the A&M scores. And on the final touchdown, Murray was at his best, hitting two third-down strikes to tight end Rod Bernstine to keep the drive alive. His last toss of the afternoon was the hobbled catch in the end zone by wide receiver Tony Thompson that sent the majority of the 74,739 spec tators into a frenzy. And Murray’s mastery in keeping the offense moving on that final drive frustrated the Bear defense, especially All-America free safety Thomas Everett. “We wanted to go out and put pressure on Murray,” Everett said. “But he’ll get the ball to anybody when you give him that much time.” The victory also puts A&M in VOl fer ood shape for the Southwest Con- title. A&M at 3-0 and SMU at 4-0 are the only undefeated teams in SWC play and SMU won’t l>e going to the Cotton Bowl because it’s on NCAA probation. coi fZ-j - . tfp P° l " h AfriC in 1986. t' r,enen i l1 , Iwl'B" a whol ■Iniial sale Hige and means?

(AP) — The Denver Broncos don’t need long memories. They need think back only to last December for motivation. The Broncos, the leaders in the AFC West, are 6-0, and each vic tory is another step toward making the playoffs, something they failed to do despite being 11-5 last sea son. That was the best record for a non-playoff team in NFL history. “It’s a big incentive,” said quar terback John Elway, who leads the Broncos into Giants Stadium Mon day night against the 5-1 New York Jets, the leaders in the AFC East. “We look back and realize you can control your own destiny.” The Broncos have moved in a positive direction all season behind a defense which ranks First in the NFL against the run, allowing only 2.9 yards per carry. The offense has scored 179 points, tops in the league after six games. “We’ve won with a balanced at tack, especially the last four weeks,” said Elway, who ranks third in the AFC, just behind Jets quarterback Ken O’Brien, in pass ing efficiency. “The idea is to have that again this week, to keep play ing the same kind of football we’ve been playing.” For Elway, that means handing off to Sammy Winder, the third- ranked rusher in the conference with 402 yards —just behind the 409 of New York’s Johnny Hector — and finding a strong group of receivers, which will be bolstered by the return of speedy Vance tn Johnson. Elway has thrown for 11 touchdowns and only two inter ceptions. O’Brien, the leading passer in the NFL last year, missed the Jets’ victory last week at New England because of a left knee injury. He is expected to start Monday night, wearing a brace. “I don’t think the brace will be a factor,” said O’Brien, who has thrown for 1,449 yards in five games. “If I’m playing, it won’t hinder me. If I’m not playing, it certainly won’t hinder Pat (Ryan).” O’Brien will be up against a de fense which has a league-high 24 sacks, led by defensive end Rulon Jones with an NFL-leading seven. The Jets yielded 62 sacks of O’Brien last year, but have clamped down this season. Hector has been sensational filling in for injured Freeman Mc Neil, who missed four games with a dislocated right elbow but was re activated for this game. Hector has dit 11 for more than 100yard!i each of the past twogamtst caught 16 passes this season ? Jets Al Toon leads the NFLc 39 receptions. With the kind of passdtft the Jets have shown — mi nexi-to-last in the league-Eh might succeed with passes rat than runs.
