Cards, 14-6
Tech's fiery  Cardinals won
everything but the score as they
lost a close 14-6 decision   to
Southwest Texas State in the
homecoming here last weekend.
The Cards won the battle of
statistics and  dominated  play
after the visiting Bobcats had
counted two early scores.
Southwest scored in the first

and early second quarters then
held on to gain the victory.
Tech, and a rain which fell
intermittently during the game,
throttled the Bobcat passing star,
Pence Dacus.
The nation's top passer among
small colleges as he entered the
game, Dacus could complete only
four of    15  passes  attempted
against the Redbirds.
The passes went for but 80
yards, less than half his usual
per-game production.
In the meantime, Tech outdid

plunges to mark up Southwest
