There is a possibility that the Aggies will have neither Lex James nor Joe Mac King ready to play Saturday afternoon when the Rice Owls visit Kyle Field. “Lex has something wrong with his right elbow, and Joe Mac’s got the same thing on his left elbow,” said Coach Gene Stallings. “I can’t really say whether they’ll be able to play Saturday or not. We’ll just have to wait and see. I have Joe Mac scheduled to practice today, but Lex won’t be able to. However, we’re not going in full pads, so that doesn’t really say much about Joe Mac’s condition. Any way, I’m working Brad Dusek at quarterback today, just in case we need him.” Dusek played quarterback jn high school and some on the Fish team, so the position is not un familiar to him. However, he only threw seven passes last year and one this year. Kyle Gary, a junior squadman, is also listed on the roster as a quarterback. “Had we gotten the ball again in Dallas, I would have gone with Kyle Gary,” Stallings said. “Joe Mac couldn’t remember any thing, and Kyle’s been working at quarterback. I’m not afraid to use hirti.*’ Gary, 5-11 and 170, played high school ball at Dallas Bryan Adams, where he was all county. “Joe Mac did an excellent job,” Stallings said. “I have no com plaints about his performance. He went in when we needed him and did all that was expected of him. He really took a beating.” Stallings praised the defense for holding offensively potent SMU to only two field goals and for giving the A&M offense the best field position they have had all season. “Van Odom did a pretty good job at linebacker for never having played there before,” he said. “We had some other good defensive performances, too. David Hoot intercepted three passes; that may not be a record, but it sure is a good average. Max Bird played well, and James Dubcak made some good plays. Bruce and Boice Best did a good job, and Todd Christopher came up with some real good plays.” Getting back to a familiar topic this year for the Aggies, Stallings announced that the list of in jured who missed practice Mon day numbered 14. He said that he thought everyone would be ready by Saturday, with the ex ception that he wasn’t sure about King or James. He added that Dave Elmendorf wouldn’t practice Tuesday, but he was sure that the senior safety would be ready to play Rice. “We have a lot of injured that we don’t count any more,” he continued. “Tommy Deaton, Chris Johnson, Cliff Thomas, Mike Lord, and Andy Philley are all out, and they don’t figure in our day-to-day workout plans.” He announced that Johnson, injured in the LSU game, would be oper ated on either Wednesday or Thursday. “He’ll have the carti- lege removed from his knee,” Stallings continued. “The reason we waited so long was that we were hoping the knee would re pair itself, as it often does. It doesn’t make sense to operate until you have to. Also, I under stand that cartilage is like an appendix; it doesn’t hurt you any to lose it.” In regard to the unusual num ber of pass interference penalties in Saturday’s contest, Stallings pointed out that it is purely a judgment call. “It depends on what angle you’re at,” he explained. “I’m not sure I know what pass interfer ence really is. It’s all a matter of interpretation. You can ask 10 difrerent officials and get 10 different definitions.” Stallings also commented on last Thursday’s visit to the Corps area by the football team. The cadets passed in review for the players, and then the athletes were the guests of the Corps at dinner, several players eating with each company or squadron. “The players really enjoyed themselves,” the coach said. “I had a lot of them tell me what a good time they had and how much they liked visiting with the Corps. I want to thank the Corps for everything they’ve done this year in supporting the team. I really appreciate it.” Looking ahead to Rice, the Owls are a team plagued with injuries almost as much as the Aggies. They have a good team, although they are 0-4 in SW3C play. They return 10 offensive starters, and their depth chart has 15 seniors listed on the first two teams.
