resentative Skip Butler an
nounced alter a closed door
meeting to discuss the National
Football League players strike.
"The Oilers will continue to

ing at this time would speed up
getting a collective bargaining
agreement.
"Bight now, the team is uni
fied — both management and
players. In fact, I think the vote

Battalion Sports Writer
During one particular phase of the Ole Miss-A&M
game last Saturday, the Aggie defense trudged toward the
sideline to the cheers of the over 47,000 member crowd after
having once again stymied the Rebels.
Ed Simonini was among the defenders leaving the field
when he stopped in his tracks a few yards short of the bench.
The enraged Aggie linebacker began to shake his finger at
the A&M offensive team as they were taking the field. His
verbage is unprintable, but not beyond the realm of the
imagination.
Simonini’s anger at the offense has been shared by many
recently as Coach Emory Bellard’s offensive troops have
been criticized, chastized and severely raked across the coals
in every possible manner.
The cry was soon heard of “here we go again ” and “just
like last year. Ronnie Hubby’s first quarter fumble instantly
caused looks of despair.
To most folks it appeared that Bellard forgot to include
any offensive players in the new 60-man limit.
The offense is deserving of criticism, yes, but perhaps not
as severely as the doses have been administered. Aggie fans
have a tendency to over-react and once again thy have done
so.
Why is it that an A&M fumble or mistake of any kind is
considered more ghastly and is played up more than, say
turnovers by Texas, Oklahoma or another team for that
matter? They cough up the ball as much if not more than the
Aggies do.
Some may argue that Aggie mistakes usually result in
points for the other team, especially after Turkey Day. But
that did not happen Saturday and last season’s outcome
should not he applied to this season. It’s a brand new year,
people.
A&M has been so crucified over the years for their
miscues that the offensive players seem to have developed a
complex of sorts. The Aggies have become so fumble-
conscious that they forget about their main task — that of
scoring points. The linemen are so meticulous in planning
their execution and the backs so concerned with holding the
hall that they lose their needed aggressiveness to win.
Going back to last year’s LSU game one can see the
results of aggressive action. The Aggies fumbled the pigskin
half a dozen times, hut still gained 417 yards on the ground.
The reason for this was that the squad did not let the mistakes
bother them, but took the game to the Tigers each time they
had the ball, daring the Bayou Bengals to stop them. For
their efforts the entire offensive line was named as Player of
the Week.
The same fire was there in the Texas Tech game as the
, Cadets blew the Red Raiders off the, welcome mat before a
national television audience.
But thereafter the offense went into hibernation and the
fires needed to awaken it are yet to be lit.
There is no problem with the attitudes of the defense.
J;!; Associated Press
The National Football League’s
shaky labor relations fell apart
i*:; Tuesday, with the Washington Red-
:*:* skins and New York Jets joining the
New England Patriots on strike in
moves which a league spokesman
said placed “the regular season in
jeopardy.”
Attitudes hardened on both sides
as the NFL, beset by legal problems
and unrest among its players, sud
denly was presented with what
could be its most serious labor prob
lem oly five days before the regular
season is scheduled to open. In a
power play aimed at forcing owners
to make a labor contract offer ac
ceptable to the players union, the
Patriots rejected a six-point man
agement proposal which offered to
let them return to work without
penalty for their four-day-old strike
and which promised the players a
new contract offer by Sept. 25.
Although the Patriots rejected
the proposal, they offered to resume
practicing. Management said no
and locked the club out of team
facilities. At the same time, the Jets
and Redskins voted to stop working.
All the while, the league owners
huddled in New York. Terry Bled
soe, spokesman for the NFL Man
agement Council, which made the
six-point proposal, emerged from
meetings Tuesday night to say, “I
would have to say the regular season
is in jeopardy. We have three clubs
which have voted not to strike and
three clubs which voted to strike
and the rest are floating someplace
in between.”
Bledsoe said the owners en
dorsed the six-point proposal and
voiced their confidence in the man
agement council and its six-member
committee of owners, who repre
sent the league in labor negotia
tions.
Asked the mood of the owners,
Bledsoe said, “Unified. More un
ified than they have ever been.
They are willing to do what they
have to do to protect the integrity of
the game. Bledsoe, who spoke as
other teams reportedly were con
sidering taking strike votes, said the
six owners on the council’s execu
tive committee retain the right to
cancel any regular season game and
“theoretically, the authority to can
cel the whole season.

Aggressiveness seems to be an inherent trait of each of them.
The blood-in-the-eye Aggie defense is usually disappointed
by not sending at least one opponent off the field under
somebody else’s care.
Bellard would probably sell Kyle Field to purchase the
pill to solve his offensive problems. There is no such pill, but
if there was it would certainly contain an ingredient to create
aggressiveness. R is a commodity that generally makes up for
most mistakes.
Let us not he too hasty to judge the Aggie offense. There
is a lot of talent and potential just waiting to be kindled. One
game does not become the measuring stick for an entire
season.
The mark of a good team is to be able to play badly and
yet still win. You can talk about statistics all you want, but
statistics are for losers. Until recently, most Aggies would
have been satisfied with any kind of a victory. My, how soon
we forget.

early to start thinking about your career.
And if you think you’ve got what it takes to
become an expert in nuclear power, the
Navy has a special program you should
look into right away.
If you’re selected to be a nuclear
officer, you’ll get nuclear training from the

lear reactors in the country — Navy men.
And an opportunity to apply that training
in the Navy's nuclear-powered fleet.
