Laughery 3, Komlo. By DICK BECKER Staff Sports Writer "They' looked a lot like Okla- homa," mused a Husker fan as he took the loser's walk out of Memorial'' Stadium Saturday afternoon. He was referring, of course, to the "lithe, lean Texas Aggies who had just used a crackling offense and defense to hog-tie the University of Nebraska, 27-0, before a near-record crowd of close to Band Day enthusiasts. These Texans were opportunists, quick to take advantage of the breaks and equally quick to solve aft of- the-Cornhusker attempts to advance goalward. While those who have been around the past eight or nine years would be quick to agree that this definitely wasn't Oklahoma, it was certainly a facsimile of the fabulous Sooners.

The Huskers got only as far as the Ag 46 in the second half. Nebraska wasn't offered the scoring chances this week which were given up by Kansas State last week.

These Aggies made few mistakes. They got the ball away from the Huskers five times during the afternoon. Three times- they took it in to score. Once Beaten These Aggies, beaten only by UCLA in ther opsning test, have now knocked off Louisiana State, Houston and the Huskers. They enter Southwest Conference play against Texas Christian next week.

Nebraska threw up eight and nine-man lines against the Texans but they were still able to run for 272 yards and pass for 84 more with six completion in 11 tries. Nebraska ran for 143 yards but its heralded passing attack sputtered with just two completions in 14 tries for 19 yards.

The Terps scored the first time they got the ball, then added two more fcefore halftime while their rock-ribbed defense held the Deacons until the closing moments of the game.

Frank Tamburello, Maryland's cocky quarterback, guided his team 75 yards in 12 plays and took the ball across on a 1-foot plunge for the first score. The Terps scored after 4 min-jtes of the second quarter on a 38-yard drive in six plays highlighted by Lynn Beightol's 27-yard pass to Ed Vereb. Vereb went across seconds later on a 1-foot plunge. Vereb, speedy halfback from Pittsburgh, carried another foot with 12 seconds left in the first half for the third Terp score.

(fl Jim Swink, a 6-foot-l junior, scored all three touchdowns and rolled up 139 yards rushing Saturday as he powered Texas Christian to a 21-0 gridiron victory over a fumbling Alabama team. It was the Crimson Tide's sixth loss in a row and the ninth consecutive game without victory, a record unparalleled in 'Bama's football history. regard the three of us and splash the water as they drop in to sit awhile.

We are In posti-ton behind some weeds about 20 yars fronv where the ducks sat down. We rise up and charge up to the bank of slough to begin the slaughter. 6:54 a.m. The teal, much smarter than we gave them credit for, had heard our "stealthy" approach and had moved on up the slough. When we charged up they took off about SO yards away.

tempt from the NU 15 by Taylor which was wide to the right. There was just two seconds re maining In the half. The first miscue was a fumble by Willie Greenlaw which Jack Pcwell recovered for the Aggies on the NU 19. Three passes missed fire and Nebraska took over on the 16. Wild Pitch After Nebraska had run up a pair of first downs, a pitchout went astray when Tackle Bob Clenden-nen broke through and batted the ball into the air.

He grabbed it on the fly and was downed on the Husker 31. This lime the Aggies didn't fail. AX'th'tfend "of the "first quarter they were on the Nebraska eight. Three play carried to the Husker six-inch line and Quarterback Don Grant scored on a "wedge play. Taylor kicked the extra point.

Nebraska came back to get to the Aggie 41 but Greenlaw's pass was intercepted by George Gillar and run back 30 yards to the Hus ker 37 yard line. i Three plays were good for a first down on the NU 26 and then Gil'ar broke over the left side and sped past Nebraska's line defense to go 26 yards and score standing up. Taylor kicked the extra point. Then, just to show they didn't need any help, the Aggies went td work and drove 87-yards in 10 plays for their third touchdown of the first half. Mixing the Punch In this drive the Texans started fr run the ends, something they hr.dn't dene up to this time.

Don Watson made 21. A pass from Grant to End Gene Stallings picked up 20. Ed Dudley scampered for 18. wah just 18 seconds left in the half, Grant hit Dudley in the end zone with an 8-yard pass for the touch-down. Dudley kicked extra point.

But the half wasn't over. Ficher fumbled the kickoff and with two seconds left the Aggies tried a field goal from the 15-yard line where the fumble had been recovered. Referee Ron Gibbs Tuled Taylor's kick good but the other officials said the ball was to the right and low and didn't count. After a give and take third period and a rather uneventful fourth, Middle Magician Ovcisluf fed BALTIMORE L4V-George Welsh, 160 pounds of bamboozling artistry at quarterback, and a handful of Navy ironmen jabbed the, stuffings out of ibeefy Pitt squad Saturday for a 21-0 football victory, the third in a row without being scored upon for the Middies. Welsh cleared the decks of Pitt's average with, impartial running by his three other backs, and then took pot shots at them through the air to score Navy's two touchdowns in the second and third periods.

Pass Hits Home His 7-yard pass found end Jim Owen all alonek in the end zone for the first score and his 15-yarder to halfback Chet Burchett set up the next for a 3-yard plunge by fullback Dick Guest. The Navy ends climaxed a great game of a crisp-hitting line to provide the third scoring opportunity. Earl Smith crash2d in from the right to block Corney Salvaterra's kick in the last quarter and Beagle recovered on the 3. Guest finally scored from the 2 or. last down after having one shot over the goal nullified by a 5-yard offside penalty.

The Navy first team left it to the scattering out on ponds and potholes all around the area. Our own blind stays quiet, and for a vf ry good reason no ducks. 6:15 a.m. Still no duckr; within ranfip, but by now we can see a few flights zipping around; 1' -fv i '2 Yj "'4 -V -1 Texas A. and M.

decided on one more score. Jim Wright set the stage when he picked off a long pass by Erway and ran it back 14 yards to the Aggie 34. It took just eight plays for the score. Two of them were screen passes, good for 11 and 23 yards. With the ball on the Husker seven a lineman jumped off side and Wright scored easily from the two on a quarterback sneak.
