Lester Hayes grab of a would-be pitchout and touchdown run is but one of the many crucial plays that the Aggie secondary has been exhibiting all season. Time after time, the deep men have turned the outcome of a game around in a span of a few seconds. “It’s simply a matter of being in the right place at the right time,” said safety Jackie Williams. “I’m familiar with the area assigned to me, and I know the others have the same self-confidence that I do. If everyone plays their position as as signed, the big play is bound to happen every now and then. “The big plays are often plays which go unnoticed,’’ said corner- back William Thompson. “A big play doesn’t necessarily have to re sult in a complete turnaround. Every play is a big play if you’re doing your job.” Thompson, a 5-9, 180 pound cor- nerback from El Paso is in his initial year at the starting position. He has one pass interception to his credit. The theft came in the Ags’ narrow win over Kansas State. “That inter ception was really something,” said Williams. “Willie went up real high and caught the ball one handed. I thought it was a big play because the game was so close. When he came down with the ball in his hands, I started laughing. It made me feel real good inside.’ “I remember Lester saving me a couple of times in that game, re plied Thompson. “I had lost my man on at least two long passes and Les ter stepped in and broke them up. We all seem to work real well to gether out there.” Lester Hayes is a junior, 6-2 and 205 with spectacular speed and ex cellent quickness. He won the state 220 dash his senior year at Wheatly High School in Houston. The 9.4 sprinter was converted from linebacker to safety last spring. He has adapted well, being voted SWC Player of the Week for the second time in five weeks. He has inter cepted four passes, returning them for 86 yards and one touchdown. The key snag came in last week’s contest against Baylor. “I had my eyes on both the quar terback and the pitch man, said Hayes. “There’s no doubt he tried to pitch it. I was then about three yards from him when I saw the ball in mid-air. I get those pitches in practice almost every day. But man, it’s a lot more fun in a game. 1976 AGGIELAND Class Picture Schedule SENIORS & GRADUATES Oct 20-0ct 24 Oct 27-0ct 31 Nov 3-Nov 7 Nov 10-Nov 14 G-K L-0 P-S T-Z Nov 17-Dec 19 MAKEUPS FOR SENIORS AND GRADUATES Dress: Civilians — Coat and Tie Coeds — Optional Corps (Fish & Soph) — Class A Winter Corps (Jrs. & Srs.) — Midnights ALL STUDENTS SHOULD BRING THEIR FALL SEMESTER FEE SLIPS.

The all-state standout from Plano has maintained this familiar position the past three sea sons. This year he has intercepted three passes and returned them for Jackie Williams 17 yards. Among his best efforts was the disputed break-up of a fourth down pass that halted Ole Miss from scoring on the last play of the season opener. Players from Ole Miss ar gued that Williams interfered with the receiver. Williams insisted that he was going for the ball. Another important play was his interception on the A&M one yard line against Texas Tech. On the fol lowing series, Bubba Bean ran 94 yards from scrimmage for a touchdown, capping the victory for the Maroon and White who held only a one point lead at the time. “During the LSU game,” said Thompson, “Jackie made an impor tant tackle at the end of the game which saved a touchdown. They were still fightin up to then and that play broke their spirit. Pat Thomas made three first team all-American teams and seven all- SWC teams as a junior last year. But this year, the 5-10, 180 pound cousin of Williams has been injured and has not been atfvdl strength. He just recently returned to his role as starter and is now beginning to de monstrate the qualities which earned him all-American honors. “Don’t worry about Pat,” replied Williams, “he’ll be hack on top again. He’ll show everyone that he is running the show. Thomas was responsible for an interception against Baylor last week. “He liter ally stole the hall from the receive- r, Williams said. “That is charac teristic of Pat. His concentration is so intense. He thinks of more than just tackling a ball carrier. His ac tions are triggered by the situation of the play.” Although the secondary has been performing quite well, there has been much criticism aimed toward them. Observers are claiming that the defenders are becoming vulner able to the pass. “The initial goal of the defense is to shut down the run,” said Williams. “This forces the opposing team to pass. ” “They are throwing 20 or more passes a game at us, added Thomp son. “Our front four and linebackers are stopping them at the line, leav ing them no alternative but to put the ball in the air. Tony Blankenship, a junior from New Orleans, filled in for Thomas and played admirably in the LSU Willie Thompson game. Others that have contributed to the Aggie cause are Mike Wil liams and Reggie Williams. Mike Williams is a sophomore from Hous ton who lettered in basketball for A&M last year. Reggie Williams is an all-State selection from Seguin. Overall, the secondary has adequately done their job. The big play has been an important factor. Hopefully, the doubters will begin to greater appreciate their perfor mance in the future. Pittsburgh running star Dorsett predicted to set new records Associated Press PITTSBURGH — There’s a no tion at the University of Pittsburgh ALLEN Oldsmobile Cadillac SALES - SERVICE 'Where satisfaction is standard equipment" 2401 Texas Ave. 823-8002 that Tony Dorsett has a good chance eventually to replace Archie Griffin as college football s all-time rushing leader. Joe Avezzano, Pitt s offensive line coach, was doodling on a place mat at a press luncheon this week. He used a ballpoint pen to make a m ath e matical project i on. “Tony’s averaging 122 yards a TOM PADGITT’S HI-FI & STEREO DISCOUNTS 693-5143 AFTER 4 P.M.

Griffin, a senior at Ohio State, became college football’s all-time rusher last Saturday when he reached 4,730 yards. He surpassed the old record of 4,715 set by Ed Marinaro in three seasons at Cor nell. Dorsett is a junior. He rushed for 122 yards last Saturday in a loss to Navy, raising his total to 3,441 yards, which puts him eighth on the all-time list. He has 851 yards this season, placing him well within reach of his third straight 1,000-yard season. Next season he could become the first college player to rush for 1,000 yards in four seasons. “For an offensive lineman, there’s not a whole lot you re member when your career is over except some of the people you played with, said Avezzano, a start ing guard for three seasons at Florida State in the mid-1960 s.
