A goodly number had expected to September 24, 1961 third straight victory who now have won five straight games, counting four WTS Chops BYU, held Jackson on a fourth-nd one bid. Then Santiago unleashed the game's most spectacular play, 71 -yard touchdown run right through the Aggie line. Pilot made a desperation try for a tackle but his fingers melted off of Santiago's speeding feet.

It was then 27-7. The Lobos contained the next Aggie drive by recovering a Jackson fumble (on a fourth and one situation) on the Lobo 41. After that New Mexico State took to the air with disaster.

(UPI) -West Texas State unveiled a slashing inside-outside combination in halfback Pete Pedro and fullback OUie Ross Saturday night to crush Brig-ham Young University of the Skyline Conference, 55-8. Pedro, a 160-pound sophomore, scored on runs of 26, and 11 yards combined with quarterback Jim Dawson on a 19-yard pass play as the Buffaloes rolled to a 41-0 half-time lead. Dawson added two touchdowns on short runs as West Texas completely dominated its season opener. Brigham UCLA Thunders Past Air Force, Behind Smith DENVER (JV UCLA's hard- running backs, paced by Bobby Smith, churned over rain- soaked DU stadium to a 19-6 football victory over Air Force Saturday night. Smith, a 189-pound spetd ster, thundered 60 yards on an end sweep for the Bruins' first touchdown in the second per iod.

He shoved the UCLA'ns into a 12-0 lead with a l-yard scoring plunge just before the half ended. Smith made it 19-0 in the opening seconds of the fourth quarter with a 4-yard plunge that capped a 54-yard march. He also kicked the extra point. Air Force, unable to cross midfield for three quarters, capitalized on its only scoring opportunity with a 48-yard drive early in the-fourth quar ter. The Falcons took over on downs on UCLA's 49.

With thei aid of a roughing penalty, Air' Force moved to a touchdown in five plays. UCLA's triumph, third in its 4-year-old series with the Air Force, was the first on a rugged 10-game schedule many experts think will lead the Bruins into the Rose Bowl next New Year's Day. Bob McDonough, 138-pound scatback for Air Force, was the goat and hero in a space of two minutes at the start of the second half. He fumbled the third period kickoff on Air Force 18 but redeemed himself by recovering UCLA full back Almose n's fumble on the Air Force 1 just short of a touchdown. By 54-6 Score The fired-up New Mexico leaving the 16-game New feat.

Striking early and hard, the almost 24,000 fans at watch the Aggies take their two New Mexico schools, Coach Bill Weeks Lobos, from last season, used sharp line play and the running of; Bobby Santiago, Jim Cromartie and a host of other backs to end what had been the nation's longest win streak. New Mexico, which next faces Montana University in a Sky line game at Missoula, shook off the disappointment of a fumble in the end zone after their first drive to strike right XEW MEXICO STATE NEW MEXICO Ftrst Downs Running; 111 1 Flntt Downs Pauiaing 1 lit Total First Downs to IWH Yard Gained Kwhtnc 401 Id Yards Lost Rushing; 182 Net Yards Rushing Ml ranes Attempted i 3 Passes Completed 1 I Passe Had Intwepted 0 27 Met Yards Fusing 20 20 Total Often 421 Pont Averse 2-10 Yards PeaaJtae t-M 4 fumble 3 3 Fumble Iot li back. Paul Duke in turn recovered an Aggie fumble on the Lobo 23 yard line. Coach Weeks, showing confidence in his two-unit plan, sent the alternate unit into action on this drive and quarterback. Jay McNltt mided UNM to its first touchdown.

Fullback Gary Ness, who comes from tne Aggies las Cruces home, put New Mexico into the lead with a two-yard plunge late in the first quarter. Santiago kicked the point af ter touchdown. New Mexico State then launched its first, and only scoring drive, which featured the tremendovw running of full back Bob Jackson (a most feared runner) and Charles Pettes. James Preacher Pilot cut through right tackle for the needed final two yards, End Pete Smolonavlch kick ed the PAT, his ninth straight including his eight in the Ar ties' opening-season 56-6 runaway over the Arizona State Lumberjacks. From then on the game belonged to the Lobos although hardly anyone knew it yet.

Cromartie carried the UNM attack into Aggie territory with a 35 yard keeper. Herb Bradford, Santiago and Paul Duke helped finish the job with Santiago slanting through left tackle for seven yards and the tie-breaking touchdown. Santiago's kick was like his running a hard straight shot into the line and from then on Tucker Taggard did the kicking. He was able to exercise his toe plenty as the UNM team, sensing the win, started running: up the score. In two plays after the kick- off a pitchout from quarterback Ron Logback (who was playing his second game in the position after being switched from end) to Preacher Pilot was fumbled.

It looked like the Aggies had recovered but the alert, hardhitting Lobo defense came up with the ball. End John Pier-son was the man who had possession. Bradford and halfback Bobby Morgan carried to the 27 in two plays and then Cromartie rolled out over left end and completed the task. With lag gard's kick, the Lobos had 20-7 edge. Pressed for a way to pierce the stubborn Lobo defense, the Aggies brought their touted speedster 147-pound John "Tweety Bird" Gilbert into action.

The fast moving freshman had carried the ball three times in the Aggies' previous game and had scored twice and had Aggie fang hopeful. He picked up one yard in his first try, nine on his second. Jackson carried the third time and then Logback pitched out to Gilbert who was flipped over in a hard tackle by Jim (Sylvester) Ottman. This ended Gilbert's running for the night and nullified a large part of the Aggies' breakaway threat. With Jackson carefully watched, and their famed passing attack more of a memory of the days of Charlie Johnson, the New Mexico State chances dropped rapidly Only a booming 54-yard punt by Doug Barrow, which re fused to bounce over the end zone, saved the Aggies from another Lobo attack before the half ended.

New Mexico State's second half comeback bid Saw Pilot spark a drive which carried to the 29 before the Lobe line a a P' Ph a a C-l 55-8 Young lost to San Jose State last week. Pedro cut wide on long gainers and Ross, a 205-pound fullback, gained yardage up the middle as West Texas ground out 246 yards on the ground during the first half to only 67 for the Cougars. Brigham Young's only score came late in the third quarter on a five-yard pass from tailback Eldon Fortie to end Dick Wood. The same two combined on a pass for the two-point conversion. The visiting Cougars fum bled twice in the opening five minutes to set up West Texas touchdowns.

Hill Grabs Lead InPortlani Open PORTLAND, Ore. Vet- eran Jerry Barber of Los Angeles faded badly Saturday while young Dave Hill shot a 3-under par 69 to take a two-stroke lead at the end of 54 holes in the 72-hole Portland Open golf tourney. Tied for second behind Hill's 203 were Jerry Steelsmith, the early leader, 30-year-old Gordon Jones and Bruce Cramp-ton, 25, the Australian standout. They had three-round totals of 205. Barber, the 45-year-old PGA champ, who only Friday set a new course record of 64 on the 6,675 yard Columbia Edge- water Course, was three over par on the front nine Saturday, and wound up with a 73.

He missed a left-handed swing on the seventh hole, with his ball up next to a tree, 30 yards from the green. Jones, who went into Saturday's round four strokes behind Hill, Steelsmith and Barber, fired a 67. Steelsmith, having trouble with his putting, scored a 71. Crampton shot a 68 to make up one stroke on Hill and Steelsmith, his partners in Saturday's round. Hill's strong points were his tee and approach shots, especially with his irons.

He made six birdies and his longest birdie putt was 12 feet. Coach John Ralston cleared the Aggie bench, playing his top men only periodically, parently to keep their muscles from getting stiff, Four stringers played most of the second half for USU. Montana drove 67 yards in the second period for its only touchdown. A pair of penalties and three short passes from John Schultz to Dick Huse that picked up 37 yards gave the Grizzlies the ball on the USU 6. Ron Werba scored the touchdown on a three-yard run.

4. Eddie Oual Snead Pulls Out Of Pro-Am Meet CINCINNATI Famed golf pro Sam Snead Saturday night withdrew from the pro-amateur tournament at Losantiville Country Club. Snead and several other pros were suspended for six months and fined $500 for entering the tourney here instead of participating in the $25,000 Port land, Open. Mort Olman, chairman of the Losantiville tournament, said five pros also suspended for playing the tournament's first round will be on hand for the second round this morning. Ol man said Losantiville officials felt they had done nothing wrong by inviting the now suspended pros.

One of the pros, Tom Bolt, who less than 30 days ago was released from another Pro fessional Golfers Association suspension, told newsmen he was "gonna play." I'm com mitted to those guys, they could sue me if I refused." desperate drive by each team in the final minutes.

Bamford- trained entry coupling Tondi and Spicy. Spicy, owned by Bowe and Banmford, has finished no better than fifth in two races here this year but has won more money ($17,337) this year than any other horse in the race and is overdue to show its fine style, which has been demonstrated on this track at past fairs. The six-year-old granddaughter of Bull Lea will probably be jockeyed by Mel Peterson. Tondi, beaten at the top of the stretch by Valley in the feature race here Wednesday, is thought to be the fastest horse in the circuit but has never run a mile. Even the sevcn-furlong distance of the Wednesday race seemed to tell on the six-year-old gelding, But Tondi, winner of six of its 10 races this year, had only three days of rest before that race and will be hard to beat by 190 pound 88.

New Mexico the Aggies, streak, 41-7. HOUSTON (UPI)-Quarter- back Billy Cox struck at the precise time for two touch down passes Saturday night to guide Rice University to a 16-3 victory over Louisiana State University before a rec ord crowd of 73,000. Cox failed to fill the air with passes as some had expected, but when he chose to pass, he picked the exact time in the two touchdown efforts by the Owls while LSU's defense appeared to be at its weakest. In addition to the two scoring drives, the Owls' Butch Blume made good a 27-yard field goal climaxing their finest scoring effort that opened the second half. On that drive, which featured passes of 11 and IS yards by LSU quarterback Lynn Amedee to halfback Jerry Stovall, the Tigers penetrated to the Rice 14 and Wendell Harris completed the 25-yard field goal after three attempts to reach the goal had failed.

Cox's masterful passes that made the difference included a speedy jump aerial in the end zone to end Johnny Bur-rell from the four, and a 47-yard pass play to fullback Roland Jackson who had slipped behind the LSU defense early in the fourth period. The annual State Fair rodeo closed out Saturday night at Tingley Coliseum before a capacity crowd. The overall champions, along with the final go-round winners were determined Saturday night, in addition to the nightly winners. The saddle-bronc riding produced the closest overall competition as pair of cowboys, Jim Tes-cher and Jim Wise, tied for first. Eldon Dudley won the calf roping, Pete Frednchs the bareback-brono riding, Neil Love the steer wrestling and Eddie Quaid the brahma bull riding.

Two brahma bull riders re ceived minor injuries and were taken to Bataan Memorial Methodist Hospital by Gold Cross ambulance. One, Berry Stambaugh of Al buquerque, suffered a cut under his jaw when a bull kicked him. The other, Dick Welborn, 23, of Datil, the only Phillies Edge Pirates in 16 PHILADELPHIA A homer bv Wes Covington in the 16th inning gave the Philadelphia Phillies a 5-4 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates Saturday night at Connie Mack Stadium. The game was the longest of the season in the National League. Covington's blow over the right field wall gave the victory to Jack Baldschun, who relieved starter, Johnny Buz-hardt with two out in the ninth and blanked the Bucs on three hits through the last seven and one-third innings.

terback Eddie Wilson Saturday night led Arizona to a 28-6 victory over Colorado State University in an intersectional col-lege football opener. Wilson passed for 145 yards and two touchdowns and scored once himself on a three-yard scramble. Wilson hit halfback Joe Her nandez with a scoring pass that covered 70 yards. A 20-yard pass to Hernandez was three yards short which Wil son made up on the next play. The next time Wilson hit Bobby Lee Thompson with a 54-yard scoring aerial.

penalty-ridden Jayhawkers the final four and a half minutes. TCU nearly threw the tame away with less than three minutes left when a Frog inadvertently touched the ball after a Kansas punt. Kansas recovered at the 29 but could do little but lose ground in four desperate attempts to score. Gibbs, the mighty 6-7, 230 pound quarterback, actually was the hero of the game. He scored once from the 4 and then brought the Frogs back into the game with a 24-yard touchdown toss to Roy Dent in the fourth quarter.

Jimmy McAteer converted after both TCU touchdowns. Kansas, with John Hadl pulling the string, drew first blood in the first quarter with halfback Lee Flachsbarth plowing in from the 1 for the touchdown. Gibbs' four-yard dash tied It up and then Elvin Basham connected on a 30-yard field goal to put Kansas back out front. The Jayhawkers climaxed their scoring in the third period when Hadl dashed in from the 2. Basham converted after the first TD and his second attempt also was true but a penalty wiped it out.

His second try from the 25 was short. Villanova Beats VMI VTLLANOVA, Pa. (UPI) Villanova's hustling juniors scored two touchdowns within three minutes during the second period and then backed them with a stubborn defense to defeat Virginia Military Institute, 22-0 Saturday.

A horse with a good chance if Tondi can't hold up is Free dom's Pride, owned by Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Davidson and trained by Davidson.

Freedom's Pride finished fourth to Valley and Tondi Wednesday, runs a mile or farther in most of its races, and is consistantly fast. Rich ard Lidberg is scheduled to ride Freedom's Pride. Any one of the other seven horses in the race could come through the winner. They are Try It, Go Fly, Noble Swyn, Rhyme or Reason, Amada Danny James, and Indian Na tion.
