Regarding his offense, Moore has
his own worries. Senior halfback Bill
Campfield, who led Kansas to its
number four ranking in the nation in
rushing last year, may miss Satur
day’s game with a knee injury.
“There is still some swelling and
at this point I’m not optimistic,
coach Moore said. “We’ll have to
make considerable improvement to
be ready. It will be a tremendous
handicap if he cannot play. He is
one of the people we can least afford
to lose this year. ”
Moore went into spring drills
without a starting quarterback, but
has since solved his problem.
“Mark Vicendese has established
himself as number one. He has
earned that based on his perform
ance in practice.
At the same time, Brian Bethke
has also performed well and I would
never hesitate to put him in. I feel
much better about our quarterback
situation knowing that we have two
people who can get the job done.”
On defense, Moore sees a weak
ness in his secondary.
I think we have seen some im
provement this fall, although not as
much as I would have liked. We re
just young and inexperienced.This
is still the area of our team I’m most
concerned about. However, I think
before the year is over we can be
come a good defensive team.”

Last spring, as many Aggie foot
ball faithful know, running back
Darrell Smith made the transition to
split end.
No longer must Smith be content
w ith being a second-stringer. He
has a starting position and his at
titude shows that he wants to keep
it.
“I enjoy it,” the 5-foot-9, 170 lb.
junior says of his new position.
“Split end lets me do what I want to
do, which is get out there and every
time I touch the ball—-six!”
“Coach Bellard felt that I was
needed to start somewhere on the
field,” Smith says, explaining the
change. Both halfback slots are filled
by sophomores Curtis Dickey and
David Brothers.
Wih the Aggies pass more this
year than last? Smith says yes.

“(Quarterback) David Walker and
I have worked a lot and we have
confidence in each other,” he says.
“Plus, the coaches have confidence
that Walker can pass and I can
catch.”
The 1976 Aggies completed 77 of
147 attempted passes and averaged
100 yards passing per game.
Smith will also continue to return
kicks and punts for the Aggies. Last
year he averaged 18.4 yards per kick

ries, the most memorable being two
touchdown sprints of 53 and 90
yards against TCU.
Smith will also run sprint relays
for the Aggie track team next spring.
Off the field “I’m a quiet type,
Smith says. “I enjoy myself regard
less of the situation.
“I like music and aquariums,
Smith say.v, and the room he shares
with sxjphoYftwe vwwwivxg back HoWv
Wilson reflects those interests. He
has music that ranges from the Isley
Brothers’ soul to Santana’s Latin-
rock and in the middle of the room
is an aquarium containing various-
types of fish and plant life.
“I plan to get my degree and go to
pro ball,” Smith says of his future.
He is an Industrial Education
major.
The team’s goal is “to win
Southwest Conference and the
tional championship, if possible,”
Smith says. “And my own goal is to

ing for Moore and fullback Norris
Banks.
Moore served as an assistant
eoach at A&M from 1965 through
1970 under Gene Stallings.
Banks, a senior at Kansas, was a
star running back at Houston
M emorial Hall High School. He is
returning home to play football in
Texas for only the second time since
high school.
“Since I came to Kansas, I’ve only
played in Texas one other time; the
Sun Bowl my sophomore year,”
Banks said. “I’m really looking for
ward to the ANM game. With quite
a few of my friends and family coming
to the game, my biggest worry is
trying to get tickets for everyone.”
With 1,271 career rushing yards,
Banks needs just 493 more this year
to become the fifth leading ground
gainer in Kansas history. But that is
not bis goal.
My number one goal since I’ve
been at Kansas has been to play in
the Blue! >onnet Bowl in my
hometown. I want to play there in
the worst way. This is my last shot.”
And tomorrow is the last shot the
Aggies have at Norris Banks.
