contenders for the Southwest Con
ference title. Pre-season practice
opens October 15.
After a 14-14 year (8-8, 4th place
in SWC) which saw three freshmen
in the starting lineup for most of the
season, coach Shelby Metcalf will
have much more experience with
which to work. The return of former
high school all-Americas Karl
Godine and Jarvis Williams, who
missed the 1976-77 season due to
conference suspension, gives A&M
11 lettermen, nine of whom have
started at least seven games.
The veterans include full-time
starters sophomore Dave Goff,
senior Willie Foreman and junior
Wally Swanson along with part-time
starters junior Joey Robinson,
sophomore Steve Sylestine, senior
Keith Carter and sophomore Doug
Pederson. Sophomore John
Sehlicher, who missed a year due to
injury, came on strong at the end of
last year, and Brian Barrett
provided strong defensive play com
ing off the bench.
Adding to the luster of the 1977-
78 roster are three heralded
freshmen—Vernon Smith from Dal
las Carter, Rynn Wright from Dallas
Roosevelt and Albert Culton from
Ennis. All three were named to the
all-state team and were heavily re
cruited. Each averaged better than
19 rebounds per game as high
school seniors.
As freshmen starters on A&M’s
1976 championship team, Godine
and Williams provide a good
outside-inside combination. Godine
averaged 12.6 points with a high
game of 24 points and 10 rebounds
against Texas. Williams had high
games of 18 points against Rice and
14 rebounds against Houston Bap
tist.
But the duo will face a stiff test if
they are to regain their starting
berths. Goff set a school record with
129 assists as a freshman last year
and averaged nearly 35 minutes per
game. Foreman was chosen as New
comer of the Year in the SWC while
averaging 12 points and 4.7 re
bounds with high games of 29 points
against Rice and nine rebounds
against Houston.
Swanson was one of the top re
bounders in the league with an 8.8
average and high games of 29 points
against Houston and 18 rebounds
against Bowling Green and SMU.
Sylestine started 15 games with a
high of 17 points against Texas and
11 rebounds against TCU. Robinson
started eight games and scored 14
points three times. Carter started
seven games and had highs of 23
points against Houston and twice
had 10 rebounds. Pederson started
16 games last year as a freshman.
With experience, depth, speed,
shooting ability and rebounding, the
1977-78 Texas Aggies have all the
ingredients for an exciting season.
The Aggies open the season with
four home games against Angelo
State Nov. 28, Southwest Louisiana
Dec. 1, Houston Baptist Dec. 3 and
Sam Houston State Dee. 6. Home
games start at 7:30 p.m.

Third-stringer gets nod
Texas quarterbacks out for year
United Press International
AUSTIN — University of Texas
first string quarterback Mark
McBath, who suffered an ankle in
jury in the Longhorns’ 13-6 defeat of
Oklahoma last Saturday, will be on
crutches for eight to 10 weeks and
will not play again this season,
onghorn head coach Fred Akers
said Monday.
However, McBath’s injury is not
as serious as was first believed,
Akers told reporters at his weekly
press conference.
Akers also said he was unsure of
the status of Jon Aune, who re
placed McBath and then left the
game with a knee injury. Doctors
—
planned to check Aune late
Monday.
Akers said it was first feared
McBath had torn an ankle ligament,
hut x-rays showed it to be loose and
his foot was placed in a cast.
The coach praised third-string
quarterback Randy McEachern and
hinted quarterback Ted Constanzo,
who underwent a knee operation
this summer, may be taken off the
red-shirt list and could see action
this season. /
T’ve never seen it happen before
— have your top two quarterbacks
go out early in the game,” Akers
said, shaking his head. “McEachern
is probably the most experienced
third-string quarterback in the na
tion.”
Akers praised McEachern for his
poise and courage against the Soon-
ers. He said the rest of the team
helped by reassurring him and wel
coming him into the game.
And the coach had plenty of kind
words for fullback Earl Campbell,
who ran for 124 yards and scored a
24-yard touchdown against the
Sooners.
T think Earl has a Heisman-type
performance every time he goes
onto the field,” Akers said. “Let me
say this —- I would not trade him for
any football player in America.”
The Texas defense, which had
seven players with 10 or more tack
les each during the game, also re
ceived the coach’s applause.
“I don’t think any one of them
took lazy steps — they were just
swarming,” Akers said. “The defen
sive and offensive lines were attack
ing better than they had all year.”
Akers criticized defensive tactics
employed by the Oklahoma team,
which he said included tackles and
blows aimed at his players heads.
“As for swinging those fists and
the clothesline type of tackle,
there’s no place for that,” he said.
“They had several shots in our game
like that on Earl (Campbell).”
Akers said he wants his players to
be aggressive but there needs to be
continued efforts to make it a safer
sport. He said players pick up the
tackling techniques from profes
sional players and he hopes coaches
and officials do not let them become
part of the college game.
“You’re not supposed to try any
kind of tackling or do anything ag
gressive around the head,” Akers
said. “As for grabbing someone and
trying to wrestle him down, that is
just a natural reaction.”
