Arkansas finally visits Aggieland
By PAUL ARNETT
BatUilion Sports Editor
It's been three years since Arkan
sas came out of the hills to play the
Aggies at Kyle Field. It couldn t
have happened at a more opportune
time.
"Very simply, Arkansas has a fine
football team, coach Emory Bellard
said. “I’m glad that we are playing
them at home. Arkansas has an ex
cellent quarterback in Ron Cal-
cagni. He is the only passer in the
conference who is hitting better
than 50 percent of his passes.
“The experience of this season has
helped Ron become a more com
plete quarterback. He had some in-

juries last year that kept him out of
the line-up. Right now he is one of
the best quarterbacks in the confer
ence.
“Add to that an excellent running
game and a great offensive line, and
you have a sound offensive football
team.
The Razorbacks have an outstand
ing defense as well. They are ranked
second in the conference in total de
fense and first in the nation on scor
ing defense. The Razorbacks are al
lowing just over six points an outing.
“Their defense is as quick as any
body s in the country,” Bellard said.
“They make a lot of big plays. It is
pretty indicative of their strength
taht they are allowing only six points
a game. Add to those stats an extra
ingredient named Steve Little.
“He helps your defense by keep
ing the opposition backed up in
their own end of the field. And how
he helps the offense is quite obvi
ous. ”
It is even more obvious the Ag
gies will need to stojD runningback
Ben Cowins. The junior tailback has
rushed for 901 yards, while averag
ing almost six yards a carry.
“Cowins is just a great run
ningback, Bellard said. “He has the
speed, balance and strength that
makes up a superstar. Cowins runs
to daylight real well and accelerates

when the hole opens. Give him a
half of a step, and he’s gone.
Arkansas coach Lou Holtz de
scribes the Texas A&M football
team in much the same manner.
“They are only one half of a foot
ball from being the number one
team in the nation, Holtz said. “Of
fensively they have great speed, and
the wishbone offense is a tough of
fense to stop if that ingredient is in
volved. David Walker can throw the
daylight out of that ball.
He will need to if the Aggies are
to do well. Against a defense like
Arkansas A&M will need to have
the element of surprise.
“I don’t know whether we will
suprise them or not, Bellard said.
“If some of the things we are work
ing on work, then it will suprise
them. If they don t, then it won t.
One thing that has worked out for
A&M is the open date. The Aggies
had some men who were hurting,
but a week of rest has almost
everyone ready to go. Only Thomas
Gregory will miss this week s game.
“The open date did us some
good,’ Bellard said. “I know it
helped David Walker, Johnnie
Donahue and Mark Dennard. All of
those guys needed some time off.
I’m glad we had the week off. It has
helped us in our preparation for Ar
kansas.
INSTANT BACON AC6IE STVlt !
Tough to say and play against
By D.D. GBUBBS
In these days of high-stepping,
fast-moving, break-away running
backs, cannon-armed quarterbacks,
and long-range field goal kickers, it’s
difficult making a name for oneself if
you are “D”—none of the above.
For Texas A&M sophomore offen
sive guard Ed Pustejovsky, it’s dou
bly tough. He not only plays a posi
tion that frequently goes un
heralded, but also has a name that
even his own coaches have a hard
time pronouncing.
Pustejovsky (pronounced pu-
JOV-ski for the record) saw limited
action as a freshman last year, sub
bing for starting left guard Craig
Glendennig, but was still one of
eight freshmen to earn a varsity let
ter in 1976.
As a tackle at Spring Branch High
School in Houston, Pustejovsky
made all-District and all-Greater
Houston, The adjustment to college
ball, he admits, was every bit what
he expected.
“In college, everybody is as big as
you—or bigger. 1 had to learn a
whole new offense and all the block
ing schemes that go with it. When I
finally got into the lineup last year, I
was really scared. Once I got rol
ling, however, I didn’t have time to
think about being nervous—I just
had to do my job.

and Dennis Swilley last year made
that learning process even more
valuable.
“They both helped us young guys
out a lot, both on and off the field.
They gave us pointers and made
suggestions on how to use our own
abilities to the best advantage.
Pustejovsky feels the Aggie of
fense has reached its peak now and
will be as tough as ever in their final
four games of the season.
“We ve opened up the offense a
lot in the past couple of games. The
defenses have been keying on
Dickey and Woodard, but now
David Walker (A&M s senior QB) is
running the ball real well and they
have to keep an eye on him now
too.
And what about this week’s game
against Arkansas?
“I think they’re just as tough as
Texas. They shift around a lot on de
fense and line up in variations, so
we 11 work hard on our recognition
this week. We’ve already got a big
advantage in playing them here at
Kyle Field—it’s a big emotional lift
for us to play in front of our home
hunch.”
One interesting—and somewhat
unusual—aspect of the Aggies’ of
fense is that fullback George
Woodard, at 280 pounds, outweighs
everybody on the offensive line by
more than twenty pounds. One
would think that might add a little
incentive for the 6-2, 239-pound
Pustejovsky to execute his block and
get out of the way when Big Woo
comes through.
“I really don’t think about George
running over me. Besides, any
fullback that runs into you with a full
head of steam is liable to bowl you
over. I will say this: I have had
