TCU suffers loss off football field
United Press Internationa]
FORT WORTH — One would
have expected joy in the Texas
Christian University dressing room
after the Horned Frogs upset Ore
gon 14-10 Saturday night in
Eugene, Ore.
Instead there were tears.
TCU Coach F.A. Dry broke the
news to his team that one of its
young players, James Timothy
Roche, was knifed to death Friday
night in Irving, Texas, while return
ing from an outing with fraternity
brothers. Roche, who was a walk-on
wide receiver from Austin, was not
part of the traveling team.
“One of our players was killed last
night (Friday) and I just told our
team about it,” Dry told reporters in
the quiet TCU dressing room after
the game.
“Some of them have taken it
pretty hard. Some were pretty close
to the boy.
“I didn’t want to tell the team be
fore the game. I knew they’d take it
pretty hard.”
Steve Bayuk, the senior TCU
quarterback, saiid, “We had some
thing terrible happen tonight. But
this win is so important to the prog
ram at TCU. So imnortant.”
“He (Roche) was real close to
Coach Dry,” said a TCU spokesman
Sunday morning. “The coach was
upset about it. He said he (Roche)
was one of the most likeable
youngsters on the squad and a real
hard worker.
“Coach Dry said that the boy’s
parents had told him (Dry) that he
was the happiest he had ever been
— getting to be a part of the team
and contributine.”
lot time in Boston
Aggies cool Eagles
By DAVID BOGGAN
Battalion Sports Editor
|A Boston sportscaster this
bkend described the New Eng-
d area as “a hotbed of college
r court,
>hio and

let court
■tores as
s
Hummm?
Obviously, this feeling is shared
many New Englanders, as
ton-area television stations
jnd more importance in Satur-
Yale-Brown contest than the
jnost-nationally televised Michi-
Ji-Notre Dame game.
■ButifNew England is a hotbed of
Hegefootball, the Southwest (.011-
■ence must be an inferno. Witness
|xas A&M's 37-2 smoking of Bos-
College.
[The reasons for such a lopsided
? Fairly simple. The Aggies did
little wrong. The Eagles did
iry little right. And. frankly, the
ninth-ranked Aggies were a much
[superior football team.
■ However, Texas A&M did get off
a slow start, taking the whole first
to the chilly
jBuyter to warm up to the
MWMwMmtk- bfeezes•
•’] ■‘1n tbe first quarter. Bosto
Boston Col-
Segi'was moving the football, said
^! e "And when they turned it
a . earr -®rer, they turned it over on our
armg,jjine, so we j uu j no breathing
bom. But our defense hung in
mfcAihere real good and stopped several
If their drives."
;OK®iThe Aggie defense and the Eagle
■ense seemed to work almost in
S resifc’lnison to stop Boston College’s
L'ienth''pee first quarter drives. A quar-
■rback sack by Jacob Green, hold-
•leii.' llg against the Eagles and another
tow by James Zachery and a fum-
m aniSplnl pitchout recovered by Carl
veighrulich all added to the quelling of
the Eagles’ early scoring threats.
“They started off with tremend
ous field position in the first quar
ter,’ Grulich said. "That makes it
tough. Just the fact that we kept
them out of the end zone was an
accomplishment of our goal. We put
tremendous pressure on them with
plug stunts and bare stunts and a
tremendous pass rush and we were
able to stop them.”
In fact, it was up to the Aggie spe
cial teams to give Boston College its
only score of the contest. Punting
from his own endzone, David
Appleby was pressured by the Eagle
rush. Somehow, as the ball left
Appleby’s foot, it popped up over
his head and out of the end zone,
giving BC a safety. Officially scored
as a blocked punt by Eagle defen
sive end Jack Kent, Bellard saw the
play somewhat differently.
“That ball came off the tail end of
our fullback,” the Aggie coach said.
"And that is ridiculous. That’s poor
coaching—on my part.”
Throughout the rest of game,
Eagle scoring threats were as rare as
a pickup''truck*on the streets of Bos
ton
"They
fired up because
were
we re Texas A&M—we re ranked
ninth in the nation,” Green said of
EC’s first period performance. “But
we finally adjusted to their offense.
And the Aggie offense finally ad
justed to EC’s defense.
Amassing 364 yards total offense,
the Aggies were led by a 138-yard
performance by Curtis Dickey. Un
customary of his style, the junior
running back rarely ran outside the
hashmarks against the Eagles, gain
ing most of his yards with bursts
through the middle of the BC de
fense.
“We just used a counter action or
trap play with Curtis running up the
middle, Bellard explained. "We
determined in the first quarter that
we could run that play with success,
and success determines how often
you run a play.”
“I just faked the football to the
fullback,” quarterback Mike Mosley
said, “and the defensive tackles
were moving up the field so fast that
Curtis could just use his speed to
break by them.”
The Aggies may have been in the
hotbed of college football this
weekend but it took little effort to
cool the lukewarm Eagles. The heat
of the season is yet to come.
