When A&M wins a football
game, the team sings “The Ag
gie War Hymn" in the locker
room meeting after the game.
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.

rout. (Photo by Mike Rice)
“Our offensive line was
great,” he said. “We could have
driven a good-sized car through
it tonight. 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. The
score came when King swept left
