finished 5-6 for the season and 4-3 in the conference. COLLEGE STATION. Tex. (AP) Texas slammed across four first half touchdowns against a sometimes stubborn Texas defense and whipped the Aggies 34-14 to grab a record-breaking fourth consecutive Southwest Conference football title and the host spot in the Jan. 1 Cotton Bowl Classic.

Texas' victory spoiled the Aggies' chance for a Liberty Bowl bid and set up a match New Year's Day of Texas-Penn State in the Cotton Bowl. The Longhorns, No. 12 in the nation, took advantage of an Aggie fumble, a pass interception and two short punts into a stiff, 10 mph breeze to roll up a 28-0 halftime lead on four one-yard touchdown runs. Two of the scores were by Dornrie Wigginton, giving him 14 touchdowns for the year to tic a school record held by three others, including AU-Ameri-can fullback Steve Worster in 1970. Texas' defense extended its string of scoreless quarters to 13 before quarterback Joe Mac King hurled a fourth-down.

The pass was what surprised the Cornhuskers the most and it was the pass that gave them the most problems. "(Jack) Mildren threw the ball like a pro quarterback today," Devaney said, "We honestly didn't think he could throw that well.

"And we didn't expect Oklahoma to throw as many times as they did." The Nebraska coach added that he had changed the Huskers' pass defense from their usual zone type coverage to a man to man secondary for the Sooners. "We just couldn't handle that (Jon) Harrison one on one," Devaney said. "If I had to do it over again, I sure as hell 1 't change our pass defense next time. We should have stayed in a three-deep zone. That way they couldn't have moved the length of the field in two plays like they did at the end of the first half.

You might say that was just a poor job of coaching." Kinney and Tagge came in for lots of praise from Devaney, as did the rest of the Huskers. "Kinney did as fine a job of running the football as I've ever seen in all my years of coaching," Devaney said of his tailback. "Pie ran over, around and through players and broke several tackles. "And I thought Tagge called a great game. He brought us through in some key situations." Defensively, Devaney said he thought his team played exceptionally well and he picked out middle guard Rich Glover for special praise.

Glover wound up with a whopping 22 tackles. "Rich is a great middle guard and he played a great game. During the-first half while we were on offense and Rich was taking a breather, I facetiously told the rest of the defense that they should give him a little help," Devaney said. "'There is no doubt about it; This was my best game," Glover stated with a smile. "They didn't do anything different than the rest of the teams we've played.

They tried to block me one on one most of the time and that helped. That (Tom) Brahaney is tough Polyester knits, as well as woolens. Models and patterns suitable for dress, business, travel and sports wear. Sport Coats 25 off Reg. $60.
