Tiger tailback Harvey Williams ran circles around A&M in the first half, gaining 60 of his 70 yards, but the defense clamped down on him in the second half. “Harvey Williams is just another athlete,” A&M noseguard Sammy O’Brient said. “He nasn’t proved himself to me. I’m very proud of us defensively. We’re going to have a great team both offensively and de fensively. “We knew they were going to run the ball quite a bit, what with what’s- his-name, number 22 (Williams), saying he was going to get 200 yards.” The Aj^gie defense also was very effective in getting to LSU quar terback Tom Hodson. He was sacked three times and was pres sured all day. However, on third and nine at the LSU 28, he somehow es caped a sure sack that instead re sulted in a freak 25-yard pass com pletion to Williams which kept the drive alive. It was the key play that led to the Tigers’ first touchdown and perhaps the most important play of the game. Senior defensive bad Brooks led the way with 13 for A&M, including eighttli; unassisted.

Only Rice and Baylor managed to salvage any semblance of pride for the SWC with narrow victories against Lamar University and Loui siana Tech, respectively. Rice nipped Lamar 34-30 on quar terback Quentis Roper’s touchdown with 15 seconds left and Baylor beat Louisiana Tech 13-3 behind backup quarterback Brad Goebel. “Let’s hear it for numbers seven and eight,” said Baylor Coach Grant Teaff, referring to where the Bears and Owls were picked in SWC pie- season polls. Goebel ably replaced starter F.d Lovell, who suffered a knee injury and could be lost for up to three weeks. Texas, Texas A&M, and Texas Tech were blown away. Fifth-ranked Auburn mauled Texas 31-3 in Longhorn Coach Da vid McWilliams’ debut. It was the worst opening loss in the school’s history, as McWilliams became the first of Texas’ 27 head coaches to lose his debut. “I believe in facing facts,” McWil liams said. “We couldn’t move the football against them.” Sixth-ranked Louisiana State bounced the 15th-ranked Texas Ag gies 17-3 and senior quarterback Craig Stump, who served up two damaging interceptions while re placing the departed Kevin Murray. “Anytime you lose a great player like Kevin you miss him,” said Aggie Coach Jackie Sherrill. “We couldn’t do anything offensively.

Only six of the meet records set in the first world championships four years ago remained when the eight- day competition ended with speeches, Italian pagentry and fire works on a mild Roman evening. Carl Lewis, Butch Reynolds and Florence Griffith helped the United States team salvage some glory from a generally mediocre meet perfor mance. The Americans won three of the four relays — the men’s and women’s 400 meters, and the men’s 1,600 meters. East Germany topped the medal count, shattering the figures set by the United States in Helsinki. The Americans were second in gold med als and third overall. Aouita, slowed by a recent tendon injury that made his participation in the meet doubtful and a spike wound suffered during the semifi nals, had enough strength to capture the 5,000 in 13 minutes, 26.46 sec onds. It was his 38th straight victory over the last two years at distances from 800 meters to 10,000 meters. Abdi Bile gave Somalia its first gold medal in an Olympic Games or world championship, capturing the 1,500 meters in 3:36.80 and soundly thrashing world mile record-holder Steve Cram of Britain. Douglas Wakihuru, a Kenyan liv ing in Japan, won the marathon in only his third attempt at the distance of over 26 miles with a time of 2:11:48. Lewis, a gold medalist in the long jump and silver medalist in the 100 meters, anchored the U.S. men’s 400 relay team to victory in 37.90, the third-fastest in history. Griffith keyed the women: meter relay triumph with a- third leg, as the U.S. wast 41.58, the fourth-best ever 1 championship record.
