It’s as simple as that.” Injuries will be A&M’s biggest problem Saturday night as three of the four captains may not see any action. Middle linebacker Grady Hoer- mann, fullback Brad Dusek and defensive tackle Boice Best are questionable for the game and unless needed, will not play. All- SWC running back, Mark Green is also questionable for Saturday. Starting halfback for Army, Bob Portante, broke his right wrist on the first play against Nebraska and will be out for at least two months according to the Army coach. Tight end, Kevin Craig suffered a mild leg bruise but is slated to return to the starting lineup by Saturday. Sen ior receiver, Ed Francis, will like wise be out of action due to a fractured left leg received during fall drills. “We’ll be up against the Wish bone offense for the first time, and that alone has us concerned,” Cahill said of the Aggies. “In quarterback Lex James they have a player with all the necessary skills to run that type of offense. Overall, A&M is a big, strong football team who has already played two of the best teams in the country in Nebraska and LSU. Their record of one vic tory against two defeats does not represent their true ability.” The Aggies will start James at quarterback and three freshmen if Green and Dusek are unable to play. At fullback will be Alvin Bowers (210), Skip Walker (180) and Bubba Bean (198) at half backs. In the offensive line will be Skip Kuehn (233) at center, Todd Christopher (237) and Buster Callaway (258) at guards, Ralph Sacra (238) and Mike Park (225) at tackles and Homer May (230) at tight end. Freshmen Richard Osborne (210) and Carl Roaches (155) will share duties at split end. The defensive line will be manned by Max Bird (223) and James Dubcak (240) at ends with Bill Wiebold (228) and Boice Best, if able, (233) or Ted Lamp (215) at tackles. Linebackers will be Grady Hoermann, if able, (220) or Kenny Stratton (191), Dennis Carruth (209) and Kent Finley (209). Corky Sheffield (180), A1 Thur mond (174), Larry Ellis (172) and Robert Murski (189) will con trol the defensive secondary. Murski will also do the punting while Pat McDermott (160) will handle extra points and field goals. Randy Haddox (238) will kickoff.

Ags Blank UTA Water Polo Team The A&M water polo team swept its second victory in as many starts, while blanking a powerless University of Texas at Arlington team, 28-0, Tuesday at Downs Natatorium. Junior Martin Litteken was the high point scorer for the Aggies with four points, while Doug Meaden and Les Hamann followed with three points. Coach Dennis Fosdick said his Aggie team had no trouble shut ting out UTA with its defense because the team couldn’t make pass plays without his swimmers intercepting the ball. The A&M team will leave Wed nesday by plane for California to play at least eight games in the state’s northern area. The team is also entered in the North ern California Invitational Water Polo Championships being held Oct. 6 and 7. By KEVIN COFFEY Assistant Sports Editor The Aggie Fish rode their Wishbone attack and a stellar defensive performance to a 30-7 victory over the Rice Owlets Thursday night. The offense ground out 301 yards rushing while the defense was holding Rice to less than two yards a carry. The game was marred by 11 turnovers, eight of which were forced by the Fish defensive unit. The Rice backfield was full of maroon jersied fish all night as the defensive line of Kent Krue ger, Blake Schwarz, Glenn Buj- noch and Dennis Smelser rushed Rice quarterbacks relentlessly. In the meantime linebacker Garth TenNapel was all over the field. When TenNapel was not sack ing the Owlet quarterback he was intercepting a pass or picking up a blocked punt and scoring a touchdown. Rice quarterbacks should have nightmares of Ten Napel for weeks. The Fish got on the scoreboard first when Ronnie Hubby capped a 70 yard drive with a two yard plunge with 5:49 left in the first stanza. The Owlets came back on their next possession and promptly mai'ched 80 yards to knot the score at seven. With only 3:04 left in the first quarter the Fish capitalized on a Rice holding penalty along with the fine running of Melvin How ard to threaten to score again. With only two seconds remaining in the first quarter A&M’s lead ing rusher Bucky Sams followed a beautiful David Greeno block for a 24 yard touchdown run. Lee White kicked his second of four extra points and the Fish led 14-7. The second quarter was score less with play being dominated by the Fish defense. The Aggie front four held Rice to 29 yards rushing in the first half while giving up 119 yards in the air. The Fish had a big chance to break the game open early in the third quarter when Rice fumbled a White punt due to a crushing blow by Pat Thomas, who recov ered for the Fish on the Owlet 12. After Hubby gained two yards Fish quarterback Dale Ammons fumbled the ball back to Rice. A short Owlet punt left the Fish on the Rice 47 where Am mons redeemed himself with a 32 yard sweep of the right side after the Fish had rushed for an other first down. Hubby and White again did the honoi’s and the Fish led 21-0. The rest of the scoring was generated by the A&M defense. With 23 seconds left in the third quarter Charlie Arndt trip ped Rice quarterback Bernardo Corchuelov for a safety and A&M stretched its lead to 23-0. Starting Fish quarterback Dale Ammons ran the Wishbone with considerable poise, was knocked woozy early in the fourth quarter and replaced by Jim Hartman. Hartman’s unfamiliarity with the first team players showed as A&M stalled due to fumbles and miscues. The defense got into the scor ing range again as Kent Kruger blocked a Rice punt and you guessed it—Garth TenNapel took it 15 yards for the final Fish tally 30-7. Bucky Sams was the leading rusher for the Fish with 117 yards in 20 carries.
