Things changed suddenly in the follow-up quarter after the first period standoff. Ralph Hunsaker punted from his 14 to Wayne Gosnell on UNMs 49, Gosnell running a reverse pattern to double safe tyman Lynn White.

The little 150-pound dynamo swept to the west sidelines unnoticed and scampered 51 yards, tight-roping all the way. Wayne Gares' conversion went amuck.

The quarterback speared the ball on the Arizona 49, slid (behind some blocking on the east sidelines and traveled 51 yards.

The conversion pass was bobbled. But UNM's Southwest rivals proved a generous guest if not too friendly a bunch.

Again, Gares' conversion attempt was blocked at 4:31.

The visitors had two opportunities to elevate the score in the fourth stanza, cashed in on Halftime Show Rates Accolades By JIM LAMB, Journal Sports Writer A mighty crowd for Zim merman Field had plenty of diversion Saturday night if it tired of me University of An zona-University New Mexico grid game. Besides the halftime show, which rambled all over the deer green turf. 13.127 fans delighted at the gymnastics of University of Arizona cheer leaders, the rousing music pro duced by the 120-piece UA band and UNM's musical show. The dense gathering was the largest night turnout ever in New Mexico's grid history. As fan remarked, watching the produuetion at half, "I bet the consession sales fell off tonight." Both the Wildcat and the homestanding Lobo bands paraded onto the field at the half, and tumbling, leaping and attractive cheerleaders gave the halftime the appearance of a three ring circus.

The two clubs were fiehtlnz for the Kit Carson rifle, an- cient relic Springfield weapon, Which annually goes to the winning team. That team carves its name and the score on the stock. The Wildcats, who have kept the rifle for the past 16 years, have whittled nearly enough lumber off the weapon to set a fire on Zimmerman field that would raze the stadium. Arizona opened the half time show, and the giant band scurried onto the field like a colony of ants attacking a sugar cane field. Under the direction of Jack Lee former director at the University of Michigan the band depicted the evolution of music.

The Wildcat musicians formed a church, and square dance formation, a beehive and ended with a block UA. The group formed the drive shaft and wheels of a locomotive "Pacific 231" was the musical accompaniment but Lobo fans had a better de scription of the formation, complete with billowing smokestack "it must be a' Luppino jet taking off." William E. Rhoads' UNM band took over the field and keeping with the latest fad saluted Elvis Presley, America's rock 'n' roll king. Complete with gigantic blue suede shoes, hound dog and guitar, Presley, played by Rudy L'libarri, rocked 'n'rolled as the band played Presley's latest hit tunes. Before Elvis and his UNM bandi mates were off the field, the student section flashed card stunts at the reserved section, across the field.

The students spelled out a then an and finally an shifted to one UNM and ended with a Wildcat head. The band was playing "God Bless America" and spelling out GIVE an appeal for donations to the United Fund drive. neither. But this inefficiency was more than countered by Arizona's decided unwillingness to allow any Lobo success aground, over land or by grace of officials' alterness. Never did New Mexico get into Cat terrain, the closest being an ad vance to its own 48.

Statistically, it was a toss-up game. However, modern-day football disallows any point benefit by such methods.) Arizona was even on first downs, 11-11, rushing 169 yards and amassing 24 overhead for a 193 aggregate. UNM ground out 124 yards and added 67 in the ait on six of 15 completions for 191 total. Unfortunately, more than 2 yards total offense separated the two elevens. Arizona 26, UNM 12 wait'll next year.
