The inventor of the wishbone offense answers the same questions week after week, with only the teams changing to break the monotony. Halfway through yesterday’s get together, Bellard was handed an index card with a three sentence message. With a pained expression on his face Bellard read its contents. “George Woodard’s appendix has flaired up. The seriousness of his condition is not known. He is being kept overnight for observation.” The monotony was broken. “No time is a good time for some thing like this to happen,” Bellard said. “He missed all of last week’s practices, so he sure needs the work.” Eddie Hardin is the second string fullback for the Aggies. Hardin was not overly impressive last weekend against Texas Tech, but he did work hard throughout the contest. “Eddie did a pretty good job,” Bellard said. “He worked real hard and can do the job for us against Michigan.” The Michigan game is an impor tant one for the Southwest Confer ence, as well as Texas A&M. ABC-TV is broadcasting the game throughout the country, with an Aggie victory bringing the school and the conference needed recogni tion. “This game ranks right up there as the most important game I have ever participated in,” Bellard said. “But our game last week was pretty darn important, too. With that game out of the way, this one this weekend has to be an important one. To win would mean that we be long in the upper echelon of college football.” Michigan, after barely defeating Duke and Navy, has fallen from No. 1 to No. 3 in the nation. Coach Bo Schembechler has been saying for two weeks his team has been over rated. “Michigan has a fine football team,” Bellard said. “They are very . disciplined, meaning they are well ’ coached. It will be a heck of a chal lenge. They are rugged in their blocking and in their running.” The Wolverines have 10 letter- man returning from last year’s No. I offensive team. Led by quarterback Rick Leach, Michigan has an excel lent rushing offense. “That Huckleby is a legitimate 9.4 sprinter,” Bellard said. "They have a great offensive line that can really come off the ball. Leachd( thing you would want a to do. He is a very rugged 4 led runner. When he pass^ very effective.” Quarterback David lu should be 100 percent day. He sprained his during the Tech game, inaLj ficult for him to grip they "It only hurts me whenlL throw long,” Walker said4 Tech game. “If I have to, 14 tape it up and go from there If only Woodard’s condition that simple. Broken monotony is not, did Adami ready to run offem Uhited Press International LUBBOCK, Tex.— With the in jury last Saturday of star Texas Tech quarterback Rodney Allison came talk that the Red Raiders offense was doomed. But Tres Adami, thrust into the opening lineup, thinks otherwise. “Yes, I’ve heard a lot of that stuff, said the Freer, Tex., junior. "But you have to try and blow it off and not worry about it.” Allison assumed the No. 1 quar terback spot on the Raiders’ third game last year after Tommy Duni- ven suffered an injury. Ironically, during Tech’s third game of the season on Saturday against Texas A&M, Allison broke a 'mall bone in his lower left leg. He is expected to he sidelined four to six weeks. “You want to play well for the team’s sake, of course, hut I’d be lying if I said I wouldn’t like to show people who don’t believe that I can do the job. “I was kind of nervous when Rod ney got hurt, hut they (the Aggies) had the ball for awhile after that, so I had some time to think before I went in there,” said Adami. “I was tMi attri] The Best Pizxa In Town (Honest) Who say s you can't have a fast lunch and still enjoy intimate booths, draft beer, cozy atmosphere and old-time movies?

It’s a defensive man’s dream to have the other team in that kind of spot,” said Adami. T felt pretty had after the game for a while, hut, after looking at the films, I don’t feel as had. We were pretty close to doing something, but we had little things go wrong each time.” “The team has a lot of poise, and that kind of rubbed off on me. They were fired up and encourages lot. And I’ve had a lot ofm to me since Rodney got hurt,., will call me up or stop met dorm or something and will good luck. All of that helps aid.
