George Woodard and Curtis Dickey are nearing
1,000 yards rushing and if they make it they’ll be
come only the 8th combo in the NCAA history to do
so. Woodard needs only 31 more yards for 1,000
while Dickey needs 104 in the final two games....
A&M’s 606 rushing yards against TCU leads in the
nation this year in that category.... A&M’s 687
yards of total offense against TCU set a SWC mark,
beating Texas’ output against SMU in 1969 by 11
yards... Thus far this year, A&M has set 9 school
offensive records and tied one and has a shot at
breaking 10 more.
Tight end Chuck Carr and CB Jimmy Hamilton
injured knees in the TCU win and are doubtful for
the Texas game. QB David Walker rested bruised
ribs last Saturday but will be ready for Texas. Coach
Emory Bellard: “I was happy that we finally got a
chance to get some of the younger players in the ball
game (at TCU). Mike Mosley did an excellent job (at
QB) for the first time out. I thought David Beal was
impressive, too.:
Against TCU, Woodard rushed for 163 yards,
Dickey got 175 and Mosley 98. Then David
Brothers had 65, FB Eddie Hardin 35 and split end
Darrell Smith 32. Woodard scored twice to become
A&M’s all-time TD maker with a total of 32. CB
Mike Williams: “It was a great challenge going
one-on-one against Mike Renfro. He and QB Steve
Bayuk are the best combination I’ve been against
this year. In my opinion he (Renfro) won our bat
tle” Kyle Field’s press box can’t hold all the
newsmen wanting to staff the Aggie-Texas game.
Among out-of-staters will beAP, New York; Chicago
Tribune, Chicago Sun-Times, Washington Post,
y Sports Illustrated.
Tony Franklin’s 10 points (1FG, 7 PATs) against
TCU gives him 217 for his career and moves him
past Steve Worster of Texas (216 in 1968-70) into
the No. 4 spot in SWC history. He needs 8 points to

3-point difference has been the nearest. He has an
overall 43-23 won-loss record.
With either the Cotton or Bluebonnet coming up,
A&M will be playing in its third straight bowl game.
A&M was in the Liberty after the ’75 season and the
Sun after the ‘76 season. A&M has put in 697 total
plays this year and has lost 17 fumbles, one for every
41 plays, except some of the fumbles were on kick
offs, punts, etc.
TCU middle guard John Wade: "Woodard runs
straight. He has no cuts to the right or left, but then
he doesn’t need them.’’ With Texas and Houston
still to come into Kyle Field, A&M will wind up
averaging around 54,000 fans for five home games
this year, and, in a stadium that has 49,700 perma
nent seats. The stadium is due to be enlarged fol

By PAUL MCGRATH
There was a riverboat gambler
who once seemed to be having a run
of bad luck one night. Although his
wallet hadn’t been too severly
scathed, he hadn’t been playing his
cards as aggressively as his reputa
tion would have one believe.
Gaining confidence, the gam
bler’s opponents began raising the
stakes, hoping to recover past
losses. But, their strategy began
working against them as they
cleaned out each other while some
how the gambler stayed in the
game.
The remaining player knew a
drawn out game would be to the
gambler’s advantage, and thus chose
to end the contest in a final,
winner-take-all hand.
Nervous fingers dealt the cards as
winding streams of perspiration
lined the face of the gambler’s op
ponent. With every chip on the ta
ble, the gambler then proved why-
taking risks was his profession.
After counting his winnings and
excusing himself from the table, the
gambler was asked how he managed
to become the winner after such a
bad start. The gambler replied, “I
don’t start playing for serious until
the stakes are serious.’’
Saturday, the University of Texas
and Texas A&M will meet for the
84th time and the stakes will be “for
serious.” The number one ranked
Longhorns and the 12th ranked Ag
gies have more on the line than just
national rankings.
The winner will be awarded a trip
to the Cotton Bowl while the loser
goes to the Bluebonnet. However,
the Aggies must also defeat Houston
before making any plans about going
to Dallas.
The activities on Kyle Field
would be heated anyway, despite
the prestige at stake. The game is
one of few instances when the
A&M-Texas Cold War turns hot.
Some see it as a battle of doctrine;
liberal versus reactionary, Greek
versus Corps member. Whatever,
the rivalry is as fervent as a South
ern Baptist revival.
The Longhorn attack is laced with
talent, including Heisman candidate
Earl Campbell and receivers Johnny
Jones and Alfred Jackson. Campbell
has a string of nine consecutive
100-yard games going, but if the
Aggies hope to slow down Texas by
stacking against the run, they may
find themselves fried on the pass.
The Aggie secondary has proved
vulnerable and a consistently strong
pass rush has not developed to com
pensate.
The high-octane running game of
the Aggies, fueled by fullback
George Woodard and halfback Cur
tis Dickey, must penetrate a Texas
defense which has allowed only one
rushing touchdown this year. A key
personnel match-up will be Texas’
standout defensive tackle Brad
Shearer against either Doug
Holmes or Kenny Kirk. Aggie cen
ter Mark Dennard will probably
double team on Shearer, but that
tactic hasn t stopped Shearer all
year.
Oklahoma is the only other Texas
opponent this year which has run
the Wishbone and the Horns kept
them from scoring a touchdown.
Thus, the Aggies might have to rely
on the passing of quarterback David
Walker to open up the ground
game.
Coach Fred Akers team has been
impressive, but not invincible as six
turnovers against Baylor would
show. A similar performance this
week would be well greeted by
Aggie partisans, Like all so-called
"big games”, penalties, turnovers
and injuries will go a long way in
determining the outcome.

Want to receive your grades, fee receipt and
class schedule at the correct address?
It’s easy — just carefully check the printed information on the
“Address Card” in your registration card packet. If it is correct,
just turn it in as is. BUT, if it’s wrong, correct it on the reverse
side and the Registrar’s Office will send your final grades, fee
receipt and class schedule to the right place. That makes three
lines you can avoid.
