The absence of the fight song for nine straight games last sea son made the 41-7 win over Wi chita State Saturday night that much sweeter. The quarterback situation prov ed to be good for the Aggies, who showed three of their four lead ers in action against the Shockers. Mark Green did not play due to a foot injury he received in a scrimmage. Another bright spot was the offensive line, which had its weak er moments last year. The story was different Saturday night, though, and the result was ap parent. “I was impressed with the of fensive line,” Coach Gene Stall ings said. “They did a good job of protecting the passer.” Fullback Doug Neill gained 48 yards on five carries, including two touchdowns. His two scoring plays were on runs inside, the first for one yard and the sec ond for two.

In fact, we had three good offensive lines tonight.” Lex James, who missed spring practice with hepatitis, finished the night with 14 yards rushing. Although this was on 12 carries, it was significant because of the 400 plus yards he lost last vear when blocking broke down ' “The offensive line was great ” he said. “It was the best pass pro tection I’ve had since coming here.” After five straight losses as a freshman quarterback, Tim Trim- mier’s varsity debut resulted in 49 yards passing and 46 rushing. He also engineered two touch down drives. “Playing my first varsity game was real exciting,” the San Anto nio Lee product said. “I thought I’d be real nervous, but I was more excited than nervous.” Brad Dusek, a fullback last sea son, is playing free safety this year, and the junior recovered a fumble and intercepted a pass, both of which led to Aggie touch downs. “Their quarterback must have thought I was on his team,” he explained. “He threw it (the ball) right at me.” Joe Mac King, a senior, has once again been tabbed as a back up quarterback. The vet medicine major seems able to excel, though, as he joined James and Trimmier in producing touchdowns.
