Want national championship
Aggie team is
talented
United Press International
The Texas Aggie football team
now knows success. Unfortunately,
it may have spoiled them.
Coach Emory Bellard says no, his
Aggies have a talented enough first
unit to possibly win all their games
and lay a claim for the collegiate na
tional championship.
Bellard, a dapper, pipesmoking
coach, is thoughtful in reply to ques
tions. He was careful not to use the
words, “national championship,” as
he spoke to a group of sportswriters.

MARINE OFFICER
ONE OF THE FEW
ONE OF THE FINEST
Quarterback David Walker did,
however.
“Yes, the national championship is
in the back of our minds, If we keep
everybody healthy, we have a shot at
it,” Walker said.
Other Aggie players also are ex
cited about their chances, and the
A&M alumni — needless to say —
are convinced history is in the mak
ing. They have bought out 49,700-
seat Kyle Field for all five home
games.
Unfortunately for the Aggies, the
obstacles facing their talented team,
beginning Saturday afternoon in
Kyle Field, are higher than they
have been the past two years when
they won — but did not win big.
Bellard lost 10 defensive starters
or part-time starters. Many of those
were players he had trained for four
years, and they showed it by becom
ing the fourth finest defensive unit in
the country in 1976.
“I think we will take a wild swing
at ‘em defensively,” Bellard said.
It is true that if a highpowered
Aggies’ offense can outscore their
early opponents, the defense might
hang on long enough to realize their
high hopes.
Astro Watson
undergoes tests
United Press International
HOUSTON — Houston Astro
first baseman Bob Watson, who had
been hospitalized since Sunday for
tests, was discharged from
Methodist Hospital Tuesday after-
Watson underwent tests to de
termine the cause of muscle spasms.
Dr. Harold Brelsford, the team
physician, said the diagnotic studies
showed no abnormalities.
“It is felt that the patient’s muscle
spasms were primarily due to salt
electrolyte depletion due to pro
longed use of diuretics,” Brelsford
said. “This has been corrected and
he is able to resume play.”
Walker acknowledged that he has
thought about being forced to score
in bushels in order to win early in the
season, especially when the Aggies
play before 103,000 persons at Ann
Arbor, Mich., on Oct 1.
“That will be tough,” he said, “hut
our defense might he far along by
then.
A&M has the guns and they have
been used for an average of 40 points
per game since offensive coordinator
Tom Wilson took over the playeall-
ing duties from Emory Bellard six
games into the season of 1976.
“At this stage this is the best offen
sive team we’ve had at A&M, Bel
lard said.
George Woodard, a 1,153-yard
rusher in 1976 from the fullback slot
in the wishbone, and Curtis Dickey,
a 9.4 sprinter with a reputation to
match, give the Aggies a brutal
backfield combination.
Dickey will be crucial as an out
side runner to take the keying off
Woodard whose rumbles up the
middle were virtually stopped in
1976 by Texas Tech and Houston.
Walker is a fifth-year senior who
fulfills the exacting standards of
wishbone-inventor Bellard.
“He’s as good as anybody in the
country,” the coach said. Other of
fensive standouts who Bellard
praised were split end Darrell
Smith, tight end Russell Midesda,
halfbacks David Brothers and Adger
Armstrong, and the entire offensive
line.
Placekicker Tony Franklin, the
shoeless sidewinder who booted a
71-yarder last season, is another
story. He has kicked “a bunch in the
70s” this preseason, Bellard said.
There is a move afoot to allow
Franklin to kick a 75-yard field goal
for an NCAA record.
T’ve given it some thought,” Bel
lard said. “The hall would have to be
placed on our 42-yard line. I have
figure that anytime it’s beyond our
40; we could try it.
Then the interview session came
back down to earth.
Tony Franklin
"Aren’t you putting yourself
the spot saying all these things? )
reporter asked.
“I’m just talking about myplayen
I’m saying it like it believe it," Btl
lard said. “I guess all the coaches
think they have the best players.
The coach was then asked if he
would he happy with a record of
10-2.
“It depends on where the ta
are,” he said.
Considering the rebuilding jot
going on in A&M’s defensive
trenches, where they were so awe
some last season, the “two" could
come early. The Aggies play five
straight games on the road after host
ing Kansas Saturday. -jj
“I don’t like that,” Bellad said
There was time not too long ago,
the coach said, when A&M had lo
enter contracts to play at Michigan
Illinois and LSU without a return
visit from those popular teams.
“At the present time we dont
have any problems making home
and-home contracts,” Bellard said
“We re looking at stadium expansion
which wendd involve a third deck on
each side and expand the seating!)!
13,000.”
Roger Staubach return
to Dallas Cowboy lineup
United Press International
DALLAS — Dallas quarterback
Roger Staubach, who has sat out the
Cowboys last two exhibition games
with a pulled hamstring muscle, was
given the go-ahead Tuesday by
coach Tom Landry to play in the
club’s final preseason game.
Dallas meets Pittsburgh Thursday
night on national television.
“Staubach will be back in,”
Landiy said. “The soreness from the
pull is gone, hut there is still some
color left in the leg. He is going to
have to be careful that he doesn’t run
too fast on it. ” But putting a muzzle
on Staubach is like carrying water in
a soup strainer.
“He might extend himself a little
more than he should,” Landry said.
“But I think he will stay under con
trol most of the time, He could go up
to three quarters.
“But if he isn’t looking all that
good he might play just one half. ”
Landry has played the Staubach
situation with extreme care during
the preseason. He has often said that
Staubaeh’s recovery rate is not so
good now that his No. 1 quarterback
has reached the ripe old age of 35.
But if there is any risk in
Staubaeh’s performing against the
Steelers Thursday night Landry is
willing to take it because Staubach
needs the work.
