THE BATTALION
Ag quarterbacks on injured list
By JOHN CURYLO
Saturday’s game against SMU
may have been the best score-
board game the Aggies have had
since upsetting LSU back in Sep
tember, but the price paid in
injured personnel may not make
it worth while.
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.
