with a 2-yard burst off left tackle.
He added the extra-point, but A&M
still trailed 12-7 and had to kickoff to the
Owls, who knew very well that an on-
sides kick was coming.
“The only thing they can do after that
first touchdown is an onsides kick,” a
dejected Neely said following the game.
“We called all our first crowd together
and told them just before the kickoff to
be ready for it. And then we just let them
get the ball.”
Indeed, the Owls stood around while
Stallings recovered Jack Powell’s kick
on the Owl 43.
“I remember that very well,” Stal-
lipgs said. “My job was to block the
man in front of the kicker, but there
wasn’t anyone there, so I just fell on the
ball.
“Coach Bryant had instilled in us an
attitude that we could beat any other
team if we put our minds to it.’’
Wasting no time, the Aggies went for
the touchdown on first down. Wright
dropped back and hurled a pass along the
left sideline where a wide-open Taylor
caught the ball at the Rice 2 and rambled
into the end zone.
“Most people catch a pass for a touch
down, but I was running for my life,’’
Taylor said.
Ironically it was A&M’s second —and
final — completion of the game and
wasn’t even originally meant for him.
“All week when we practiced that
play Bobby Conrad had been the re
ceiver, but Bryant couldn’t get him into
the game because of the substitution
rules,” Taylor said. “So he decided to
have me catch it which I did.
“I knew I could beat Zipperlen be
cause all day he had waited until 1 got
right up to him before turning around to
run with me. I had pretty good speed and
got behind him for the score.”
Taylor kicked his second straight extra
point, giving A&M a startling 14-12 lead
before leaving the game.
“It was muddy, which had caused us
some problems,” Taylor said. “Coach
Bryant wanted a fresh back out there, so
he took me out.”
Nothing could have kept the Aggies'
from their date with destiny, as the om
nipresent Pardee intercepted Owl quar
terback King Hill’s long pass on the first
play after the ensuing kickoff.
Pardee returned to the Owl 8 yard line
and Watson completed the scoring with a
2-yard run with 1:09 still on the clock.
A&M got the ball back again after an
other Rice turnover but chose to run the
clock out rather than seek more points.
Goehring noted that following the
game the Aggies could see the shock and
frustration on the Owls’ faces, but that
the Aggies didn’t really celebrate until
they reached the dressing room.
“It was exuberant in there because we
realized what we had done,” Goehring
said. “I had a gash down the top of my
helmet and never knew how it had hap
pened.”
Several of the Aggies had tried to
carry Bryant off the field without much
success. Bryant was gracious to the
stunned Neely when they met at mid-
field, but had high praise for his players
once he joined them in the dressing
room.
“In fairness to Rice, I’ll have to admit
that we were lucky,” he said. “But I’m
the luckiest guy alive to be able to coach
kids like these Aggies. I can’t single out
anyone for an outstanding performance
because for 56 minutes we were com
pletely outplayed.”
“We played as well as any crowd we
had for 56 minutes, then we just let it get
away,” Neely said. “It is hard to under
stand.”
Fresh off their stirring comeback the
Aggies proceeded to lose to the Univer
sity of Texas 21-6. Taylor said that the
Longhorns had a lot of talent, even if
they hadn’t had a good season.
Taylor continued to be a force for
A&M during their unbeaten 1956 sea
son, especially when the going got
tough.
“There were about eight starters in the
training room the Wednesday before we
played Baylor when Coach Bryant came
into the room,” Taylor said. “He looked
around then said, ‘Anyone who wants to
play Saturday had better be in uniform
and scrimmage tommorrow.’ And every
one of us got up and got dressed.”
Taylor rushed for a game-high 91
yards in A&M’s 34-21 win over Texas in
Austin that season. Though he didn’t
score a TD, he did set up three of them in
what Stallings said was “a special mo
ment for all of us, especially me. I have a
special feeling for that weekend because
two days later I got married.”
Taylor was injured in A&M’s 21-13
win over Maryland in the 1957 opener
and later missed three straight games.
However he did return for the Baylor
game, kicking two extra-points in
A&M’s 14-0 win.
Against Arkansas Crow scored a
touchdown in the second quarter, and
Taylor’s extra-point gave the Aggies a 7-
6 comeback victory that kept them at the
top of the Associated Press Poll.
Late in the game quarterback Roddy
Osborne defied Bryant’s orders and
tossed a pass toward John Tracey that
Porker Don Horton intercepted and re
turned 57 yards until Taylor tackled him.
Crow intercepeted a pass to end that
potential rally, then Arkansas place-
kicker Freddy Akers missed a 22-yard
field goal.
Pardee says Cooj
should beat Hogs
HOUSTON (AP) — University of
Houston Coach Jack Pardee doesn’t
think the Cougars have to play over
their heads to beat 13th-ranked Ar
kansas in their Southwest Conference
showdown Saturday.
“If the Houston Cougars play the
kind of fooball we’re capable of play
ing, we can beat anyone left on our
schedule,” Pardee said. “We don’t
have to play over our heads, we just
have to play up to our ability.”
The Cougars, 4-1 for the season
and 1-1 in SWC games, must play to
their capabilities against the Hogs, 6-
0 this season.
“If we have a bad game, commit
turnovers and have lapses, 1 don’t see
anyone we could beat,” Pardee said.
“But it’s comforting to know that if
we play the kind of football we can
play and get the breaks, we can
win.”
The Razorbacks rank second in the
SWC in total offense, led by quar
terback Quinn Grovey, the league’s
most efficient passer and fifth ranked
in total offense.
“He’s good, he’s fast, he’s quick
and he’s very deceptive,” Houston
defensive end Keith Jenkins said.
“He’ll be in my dreams this week.
Most of the time I’m hitting him and
tackling him.
“I try to make my dreams as realis
tic as possible so I also have him
making the big plays.”
Grovey rushed 101 yards and
passed for 111 in last week’s;';,

Sweeney one hit awaj
from 1st NFL action
IRVING (AP) — Kevin “Too Short”
Sweeney’s first shot in a regular season
non-strike NFL game will come the next
time Steve Pcllucr doesn’t learn how to
slide.
Sweeney is just a concussion away
from the controls of the Dallas Cowboys.
“Kevin may get in there pretty quick
if Pelluer doesn’t learn how to slide,”
said Dallas coach Tom Landry. “Kevin
would make things interesting. The play
ers all like him.”
Pelluer suffered a concussion on the
third play of a 17-7 loss to the Chicago
Bears on Sunday and spent the rest of the
game relearning his name on the side
lines while Danny White played.
White suffered ligamentdarre
