Saturday night 14-13 but not before th Aggies flashed a hard-running attack headed by Bobby Goff and Bob Goode The estimated crowd of 35000 who witnessed LSU's first home game was kept on edge by th Texans sustained drives The slim one-point margin looked hardly enough in the closing minutes as the Aggies Jim Cashioa filled the air with passes Texas struck first and last with the Tiger scores sandwiched in between Both Aggie tallies came on sustain- ed drives that started around middlefield in the first and third periods It was Goff and Goode all the way with few Cashion passes mixed in LSU's first quarter touchdown was on a pass from Quarterback Charlie Pevey to Al Heroman who went over upright Just before halftime Evert van Buren hit the line hard but fumbled Speedy Ken Konz picked

Longhorns had driven 49 yards following second half kickoff Oklahoma won 20-14 West Texas State in a Border Conference game A crowd of 10000 watched the Muckers avenge last year's 14-0 Costly to Texas' chances against Oklahoma in Saturday's Cotton Bowl game is this third-period fumble Billy Pyle being tackled from behind drops ball while Homer Paine leaps for it Ball rolled away however and was recovered by Wilbur Jones on Soon- at the hands of the drubbing Buffs Steelers Defeat homa there are only a few striking impressions One is that the Baylor Bears are just a whole lot better than anybody thought they could be Another is that both Texas and SMU while still potent can be had" There is also some reason to feel that TCU Rice and are not exactly the weak sisters they looked a week

Aggies threatening pass attack fizzled in the final period when two heaves were intercepted The Tigers' Inability to get anything like a sustained drive going kept them in hot water most of the time Only the superb punting of Har-rel (Rip) Collins saved them from serious danger In the last period however a blocked Collins boot the fourth in the eight years he's been playing put deep in Tieer

passing and the third inning with two out to set up the final score as he took them out of the hole Ken Konz took off like a scared jack rabbit on the freak play that proved the clincher After the ball squired from Van Buren's arms in the second it bounced around in the Aggie backfield Konz got there first took it on the run and left the whole secondary grasping thin air The first Aggie drive went from midfield starting with a recovered fumble The other march traveled 56 yards again beginning with a fumble recovery and was sparked by the machine-like wedges plowed open by the Aggie line
