Rain is an A&M-Baylor tradition
By DAVID BOGGAN
Rain before or doing the Texas
A&M-Baylor football game is an un
official Aggie tradition. Despite this,
a sellout crowd of 48,300 is expected
at Baylor Stadium Saturday for the
74th meeting of the two teams.
While the Aggies are expected to
he at full strength for the game,
Baylor joins Houston, Texas Tech
and Texas in the injured quarterback
column with the loss of sophomore
Sammy Bickham who suffered a
knee injury in last week’s 9-6 victory
over SMU. Sophomore quarterback
Wood will start in place of
Bickham. Wood started for Baylor
against Nebraska and Houston.
“Greg has done a fine job all sea
son,” says Baylor coach Grant Teaff.
“I have confidence in him and so
does our team.”
Tailback Gary Blair, Baylor’s lead
ing rusher last year, is expected to
return to the lineup after missing two
games with a sprained instep.
Baylor’s defense, with the return
of noseguard Jay Allison and defen
sive end Lester Ward after injuries,
has the respect of Aggie coach
Emory Bellard.

“There is no weakness in their de
fense,” Bellard says. “They have the
finest secondary in the country.”
The Baylor secondary was the de
ciding factor in the SMU game, Teaff
says. Led by Howard Fields, Tony
Green and Ron Burns, they held
SMU to only 21 yards passing. They
also held Texas Tech to 28 yards pass
ing with Rodney Allison healthy.
Baylor leads the conference in pass
ing defense. They are fifth in the con-

ferehce in total defense, right behind
Texas A&M.
In their previous 73 meetings, the
Aggies have won 43 games, the Bears
have won 23 games and there have
been seven ties. The Aggies have
won the past four games, including
last year’s 24-0 shutout.
It was that game in which Aggie
kicker Tony Franklin kicked his fa
mous back-to-back field goals of 64
and 65 yards.
“I don’t sleep very good at night
thinking about being on the same
field with Tony Franklin, ” Teaff says.
“He just takes the life out of your
defense.
“My daddy always told me that if
you could stop the other team at mid-
field you’d get the football,” he adds,
“but with guys like Franklin that just
isn’t the case anymore.”
Baylor kicker Robert Bledsoe, a
freshman, is also capable of kicking
fieldgoals from considerable dis
tances. His longest field goal is 47
yards. He has completed five of ten
field goal attempts and he is six for six
in extra point attempts.
Luke Prestridge, Baylor’s punter,
is having a good season. He is averag
ing 44 yards per punt on 31 kicks
with opponents averaging just 4.6
yards per return.
Teaff also has respect for the Aggie
team.
“They have tremendous talent and
play with great intensity,” Teaff says.
“That compounded by the fact they
are coming off the Michigan loss.
They will be out to redeem them
selves at our expense.”
The Aggies are 1-0 in conference
play and the Bears are 1-2.
It should be a good game. So grab
your umbrella, head for Waco and
enjoy it. Kickoff is at 4 p.m. Satur
day.

DALLAS — The Tony Dorsett-
Preston Pearson situation will be un
altered this week, Dallas Cowboys
coach Tom Landry said Tuesday.
Pearson will start against the Wash
ington Redskins. Dorsett will play —
a lot.
And although the local fandom is
frothing to see Dorsett gain 250
yards and score five times in a game,
the faithful will have a hard time ar
guing with Landry’s logic.
If you want the real
thing, not frozen or
canned ... We call It
“Mexican Food
Supreme.”

In four games this year the two
have combined at the halfback spot
for 493 yards rushing and 214 yards
receiving.
Dorsett’s 77-yard touchdown run
against St. Louis last week — the
longest from scrimmage in the NFL
this year — and his 141-yard per
formance increased speculation that
the 1976 Heisman Trophy winner
would replace Pearson in the starting
lineup this week.
“We will play them about the
same way,” Landry said. “Preston
will start. Tony is making a lot of
progress. He is making progress in
every game. I just hope my backs —
Tony, Preston and (fullback) Robert
Newhouse — continue to play like
they have been.”
In earlier games Dorsett had often
exited when a critical situation arose.
He did not play, for instance, in the
final moments or the overtime
period in the season opener at Min
nesota. But Dorsett played down the
stretch of Dallas’ 30-24 win over the
Cardinals Sunday.
“Tony is still in the learning
phase,’ Landry said. “He still
doesn’t make all the assignments. I
just don’t want to speculate when he
might start or how I might play them
in the future. Because if I do say
something I will probably turn
around and do the opposite later on
and everyone will come back and
remind me of what I said before.
Landry indicated that the more a
running back learns the less chance
he has to be injured, and that appar
ently has played a part in his decision
not to keep Dorsett in a game all day.
“The less you know about the
blocking patterns in front of you, the
more apt you are to get hurt. He is
still learning the patterns. But he
might have played more if we had
not gotten as good a performance as
we have from Preston Pearson.”
A victory over Washington would
give the Cowboys a two-game lead in
the NFC east and the Redskins could
come into the game in their worst
physical shape of the year.
Redskins coach George
visited by telephone with loti
media Tuesday and he chronicledj
long list of injuries — including w#
being suffered by linebacker Cli
Hanburger, running back M
Thomas, cornerback Pat Fischen
defensive tackle Dave Butz.
“I hope everybody feels sorry I
George,” said Landry, after hearia
Allen’s comments. “We aren’t!
best shape, either.”
