"Texas is as good a football team as I've ever seen, 1 know they're the best I've ever played," Slallings said after watching his Aggies pulverize, 49-12, by the No. 1 ranked Steers. In the dressing room following the mighty Longhorns' 18th consecutive victory, a determined Royal said "we can quit playing footsie about this No, business alter next week." The "next week" Darrell was referring to is the Dec. ft showdown with No. 2 ranked Arkansas in Fayetteville that is sure to crack all records for Ncilscn ratings on television.

Typical Fashion The Longhorns' ninth victory this season was racked up in typical Texas fashion like an avalanche. The Steers, lcadins the nation lead in the third period. Rut the 49ers struck on Bro-die's pass to Washington and Momcilo Gavric's 21-yard field Koal. Morton's pass to Rentzel then set up the last second fireworks.

He's had nine solid games and Irom where I stood he played well today," Rill had two solo stops and five assists, but put tremendous pressure on the Aggie passeis during the first half. DeNiro, as usual, was mil-standing for the outmannod Aggie defenders, getting lour tackles and eight assists as well as blocking (lie punt, the first the Steers have had blocked all year. Speyrer's pass was his firt as a collegian. Peschel made a great catch in a crowd of placis and was humped into the end zone alter catching the ball. Asked following the game if he had taught Speyer how to pass, Street grinned and said he didn't tiave to.

"C-otton's a heckmn athlete," the Longview star commented. Feller's miss on his second placement attempt of the afternoon was only his second this season. Rob Layne twice hit the crossbar and saw the ball bounce back on his two conversion attempts for the Longhorns. Self was off target twice on passers alter the fourth quarter Aggie touctidowns.
