THE BATTALION Page 7
THURSDAY, NOV. 20, 1975
Fields anchors defensive line
By MARLA GAMMON
Battalion Sports Writer
Picture yourself as the Aggies’
opposing quarterback. You are
going back to pass, look up and sud
denly see an ever larger number 90
bearing down upon you. Before you
can release the ball you are hit by
what seems to be a freight train. The
next time you think twice before
going back to pass.
Who is this monster who re
lentlessly chases opposing back-
fields?
His name is Edgar Fields, and he
plays defensive tackle for the third-
ranked Texas Aggies.
Through the Aggies’ nine games
this season Fields is the number-
three tackier. Since he plays on the
nation’s top defensive team, that
should speak for itself. He has 53
primary tackles and 28 assists. Thir
teen of those tackles were for a
minus 35 yards. Fields has also
caused a fumble, tipped three pa
sses and sacked the quarterback

three times. He’s quick and strong
and fast. He’s been in opponents
backfields almost as much as their
running backs have been.
Fields started his football career
when he was in the ninth grade. He
played his freshman season at Na
varro Junior College before coming
to A&M. He lettered at defensive
tackle last year for the Aggies as a
sophmore.
When asked about the rumors
that the Aggies always psyche them
selves out for Texas, Fields was po
sitive about this year.
“In the past Texas has had a win
ning tradition. It has been a mental
lapse as far as the Aggies are con
cerned. This year it will be a matter
of who has the best talent.
We re winning and they’re winning.
In the Texas game we could lose ev
erything we’ve fought for, especially
where the seniors are concerned. I
don’t think there’ll be a mental lapse
or anything this year,” Fields said.
The Aggies are off this week be
fore meeting the Longhorns on
Nov. 28. For some it will be a long
two weeks.
“It ’s nice to have an off week to let
the injuries heal, says Fields. “But
I’d prefer to go ahead and get it over
with. ”
For Fields the SMU Wishbone
attack was the toughest he’s had to
face this year.
“SMU was the hardest offense
we’ve faced this year,’’ he says. “Th
ey’re just a talented team. They’ve
got good backs and a good line.”
The Aggies’ two toughest games
remain on the schedule. The de
fense has been awesome this year
and should remain that way against
Texas and Arkansas. Arkansas was
moved to Dec. 6 to allow the game
to be on national television. Many
people wish the game had been left
where it was, alter Baylor, so that it
would already be over with. Not so
with Fields.
“The arrangement of the schedule
doesn’t bother me. We re just good
enough to play ’em however they’re
arranged. It just doesn’t matter,” he
said.
This week Cotton Bowl officials
formally invited the Georgia Bull
dogs to meet the Southwest Con
ference champion on New Year’s
Day. Georgia is ranked 13th in the
nation, but is not considered to be a
national power. And if the Aggies
achieve their goal of winning the
SWC they will be meeting the Bull
dogs.
‘ I’m sure Georgia has an all right
team,” said Fields. “I don’t know
much about them right now. I don’t
care if they have a high school in the
Cotton Bowl as long as we play
’em.”
Whether it be a high school or the
Georgia Bulldogs, you can rest as
sured they 11 know who Edgar
Fields is.

Associated Press
PITTSBURGH — Tony Dorsett
has a simple explanation for his re
cent artistry on the football field.
“I’d pick up the papers and see
where Archie Griffin was getting his
100 every week, and Joe Wa
shington was breaking them at Ok
lahoma and Rick Bell was having an
incredible year at USC, and I said to
myself, ‘Hey, man, you’re as good as
these dudes, but you’re gonna have
to bust out real soon or they’re going
to leave you behind.
Nobody is leaving Dorsett behind
these days.
The University of Pittsburgh ru
nning back has had his act together
for almost three full years now —
and in recent games he has been ou
tstanding.
For his performance against
Notre Dame Saturday, in which he
rushed for 303 yards, Dorsett was
named The Associated Press Back of
the Week for the second time this
season.
He averaged 13 yards a carry in
the Panthers’ 34-20 victory over the
Irish. One of his two touchdowns
came on a classic 71-yard run. He
carried a short pass 49 yards for the
other.
said Notre Dame announcer Paul
Hornung. “Superb isn’t a good en
ough adjective,” added Pitt Coach
Johnny Majors. “Fantastic,” chimed
in Penn State Coach Joe Paterno.
They spoke of Dorsett between
goal lines. In the end zone, he was
still hampered by inconsistency,
lack of originality and hot-dogging
that backfired. .
On his 71-yard run, the 5-foot-ll,
180-pounder took a pitch, left de
fenders lunging at the corner and
maneuvered with ease to shake
loose from a sideline jumble. “The
talent I have is God-given, Dorsett
has said.
In the end zone, he used a bo
rrowed gimmick. Last year, it was
Elmo Wright dancing. Recently,
he’s been shaking the ball and toss
ing it like a crapshooter, a 1974 Ph
iladelphia Eagles’ stunt.
On his second score, Dorsett gr
abbed a short pass at about Notre

Dame’s 40-yard line. When he ca
ught it, 56,000 spectators knew he
was gone. After scoring, Dorsett
threw the ball into the stands, vi
olating an NCAA rule for a 15-yard
penalty.
Carson Long saved Pitt with a ki
ckoff of more than 60 yards from the
20-yard line after booting his first
try out of bounds.
Against William & Mary, Dorsett
was approaching the goal line when
he turned and back-pedaled the last
yards, like Johnny Rogers used to
do.
“I wanted to do something a little
extra for the fans, show them T. D. is
still around,” he said.

marathon
at Galveston
At least a dozen members of the
Brazos Valley Joggers Club are en
tered in the American National Ma
rathon at Galveston Saturday.
In their final tune-up for the 26-
mile 385-yard run up and down the
seawall, most of the marathon ho
pefuls joined in last weekend’s 19-
mile glycogen depletion run on a
back-road course east of College St
ation. The outing also included a
six-mile open run.
While most participants stressed
distance and endurance rather than
speed, Richard Adams covered the
19 miles in one hour, 53 minutes
and 10 seconds. Other participants:
Leo Sachz Jr., John Crompton,
Mike Christiansen, Rusty Rush,
Bobbin Schellhous and Ed Reyna.
Three runners ran 13 miles: Jim Pa
tterson, Wed Culwell and John Ep
person.
Otto Zeck was first across the fi
nish line in the six-miler, with a
time of 42:12. Cornelius Van Ravel
finished in 44:55, followed by Wa
rren Brown, 47:03; David Reyna,
52:43, and Bonnie Hunt, 53:02.
