It took Stallings nearly three years to admit in public that Edd Har gett was anything more than just a quality player. To say something about Dusek, who, incidently, has never played a down of varsity ball and will be a sophomore in the fall, is not in keeping with the Stallings mo dus operandi. But it is no secret that this season will feature the results of two outstanding recruiting years DUSEK FOR A COUPLE—Sophomore to be Brad Dusek kes a handoff from quarterback Lex James and dives for first down during a recent scrimmage. Dusek has been one of the more pleasant surprises this spring. Rockie & Co. Sets Mark Rockie and his Friends used to be a cartoon show on television telling about a squirrel and his many exploits with a moose called Bullwinkle. Well, the Texas Aggies have their own version of this cartoon and other track teams around the country are doing anything but laughing. The Rockie in question is Rockie Woods, the Aggies’ ace sprinter, and his friends are more than just some old funky moose. They consist of 440-yard dash world record holder, Curtis Mills, his brother Marvin, and freshman flash Donny Rogers. Des Moines, Iowa, was the site of this quartet’s latest exploit, namely, a new world’s record in the 880-yard relay. Already co-holders of the mark at 1:22.1 with San Jose State, they blazed around the Drake Relays Tartan Track in 1:21.7 in a race marred by bad handoffs. Woods, the fastest in the 220 in the Southwest Conference this season actually ran the slowest leg of the four with a 21.2 but his three friends took up the slack. Woods turned in his 21.2, Marvin churned a 20 flat, Rogers ran a 20.9, and Curtis anchored with a brilliant 19 flat. The sprint relay unit composed of Scott Hendricks, subbing for Rogers, and Rockie’s friends, the Mills brothers, also swept the 440 event in 40 flat and Woods anchored the 440-yard shuttle relay team to a first place 56.6 clocking. Ben Greathouse added a sixth place in the high jump with a leap of 6-9. ig Clash Due For Spring Game walk in •hits in ily two Coach Gene Stallings hasn’t started thinking about how he’ll iivide his Texas Aggie squad for the Maroon-White game here May ),but, no doubt, it will be a couple jf large, evenly matched teams that square off. The Aggies are young, but they’re big and strong this spring. For example, take the offensive lines. One that would average 222 pounds could have Joey Herr (181) at split end, Buster Calla way (240) at left tackle, Lenard Millsap (220), left guard; Mike Park (216), center; Leonard Forey (230), right guard; Andy Philley, (241), right tackle, and Homer May (224), tight end. Another, that would average 228, would have John Swedeen (196), split end; Benny DeWitt (237) and Mike Fields (231) at tackles; Gary Martin (234) and Winston Beam (251) at guards, and Ted Smith, 224, at center. Across the way, the Aggies can field a couple of defensive fronts of seven (4 linemen and 3 line backers) that would average 216 each. One could have Dale Watts (216) and Barb Hinnant (204) at ends; Boice Best (228) and Van Odom (233) at guards; Clifton Thomas (234), Mike Lord (202) and Kent Finley (198) at line backers. The other would have James Dubcak (232) and Ralph Sacra (217) at ends; Wayne Wheat (229) and Tommy Deaton (198) at guards; Bruce Best (229), Gary McCaffrey (212) and Steve Luebbehusen (193) at linebackers. Those specific groups aren’t apt to be together for the spring game, but it does indicate the size that the Aggies will hve. The Aggie Club, sponsoring organization for the Maroon- White game, is shooting at a minimum crowd of 10,000 for the Saturday afternoon contest. Tickets go on sale Monday at the A&M athletic business office in G. Rollie White Coliseum. Advance ticket sales prices: Reserved seat $2.50; A&M fac ulty-staff reserved seat $1.50; A&M date ticket $1.50; students of High School age and under, 50 cents when bought with an adult ticket.

But until now you needed two or more separate solutions to properly prepare and maintain your contacts. Not with Lensine. Lensine is the one lens solution for complete contact lens care. Cleaning your contacts with Lensine retards the buildup of foreign deposits on the lenses. And soaking your contacts in Lensine overnight assures you of proper lens hygiene. You get a free soaking case on the bottom of every bottle of Lensine. It has been demonstrated that improper storage between wearings may result in the growth of bacteria on the lenses. This is a sure cause of eye irritation and in some cases can endanger your vision. Bacteria cannot grow in Lensine which is sterile, self-sanitizing, and antiseptic. Just a drop or two of Lensine, before you insert your lens, coats and lubricates it allowing the lens to float more freely in the eye's fluids. That's because Lensine is an "isotonic" solution, which means that it blends with the natural fluids of the eye. Let your contacts be the convenience they were meant to be. Get some Lensine, from the Murine Company, Inc. for the Aggies and Dusek may reaUy be just one of the studs around to choose from. The truth is that the 6-2, 208-pound tail back has looked nothing short of magnificent in Maroon and White scrimmages and spectators would have to either be blind or biased to miss his talented running. Another hluechipper, Lex James, a soph-to-be in the fall, has all but taken over the quar terback reins in the Aggies’ new Wishbone or Veer T offense and Stallings seems to think that the 6-0, 180-pounder can run the attack. “He throws the ball well and he has quick feet,” Stallings said. But these are but two of 10 sophs who could man starting roles when A&M opens its sea- Rice Falls To Aggie Golfers The Texas Aggies whipped the Rice Owls 6-0 in their final golf match here this weekend. In singles, Richard Ellis de feated John Clarke, 3 and 2; Steve Veriato defeated Mike Owens, 7 and 5; Duke Butler defeated Gary Reist, 1 up; and Tommy Gilbert defeated Bill Ross, 7 and 6. In doubles, Ellis and Veriato defeated Owens and Clarke 2 and 1; and Butler-Gilbert defeated Reist and Ross, 3 and 2. The Aggies now prepare for the SWC Tourney in Houston this weekend. son against Wichita State on Kyle Field Astroturf in the fall. Buster Callaway (6-4, 240) could be either a starting tackle or center while Homer May (6-3, 224) seems to have the tight end post nailed down. Boice Best (228) and rover Kent Finley (198) are two who will play a lot on defense. In Saturday’s scrimmage on Kyle Field, long scoring plays seemed to be the order of the day as the Maroons outclassed the Whites, 60-0. Dusek broke loose on the first play from scrimmage for a 60-yard touch down gallop. Steve Burks fol lowed with a 21-yard scamper and Hugh McElroy raced 37 yards for another score. James hit split end Joey Herr with a 46-yard pass for a score and defensive back Chris Johnson ran 55 yards with an intercepted pass for a score. Jimmy Shef field score twice on runs of three and one yars while Jerry Sher man ran for a six-yard tally and Dusek added another on a one- yard plunge.
