It’s not that >rming abo; are the only team to ever lose lent; that ilij straight games, because other between dj | S have gone an entire season hat it violatsBout a victory. The frustration religion bejjn the fact that the Bears have sbelieveoJ most of their games in the •t of humajlilth quarter after leading most of ;ame. e Bears worst defeat was a 46-110(1 n-point loss to SMU last Satur- in Waco. They have lost five is by a total of 21 points which average of 4.2 points per game, is why many coaches, includ- iellard, are saying that Baylor is )est0-5 team in the country, id that is why Bellard is worried it the Bears, who are way over- for a victory. fs impossible to believe that team (Baylor) has lost five foot- games,” Bellard said. “It wor- me that they have come so close ating so many people and that are playing them this week, are as good as the rest of the is in the conference. ” lylor comes to Kyle Field with hopes that the Aggies will still own after last week’s upset loss to Houston. The Bears will also be taking on an Aggie team riddled with injuries. “At the start of the season. Grant (Teaft) said if they got a quarterback, they could play well,” Bellard said. “Steve Smith, Baylor’s quarterback, is outstanding and they have played well.” Smith is one of the top passing quarterbacks in the nation. Al though Smith had a mistake-prone second half which cost the Bears some turnovers against SMU last week, he is still Baylor’s starting quarterback. “Even though he (Smith) made mistakes,” Teaff said, “he has im proved each week. Steve is the quarterback for Baylor University.” "Baylor has the most physical of fensive line we’ve faced so far, ” Bel lard said. If Baylor is more physical than Houston’s offensive line, the Aggies could be in for a long day. The Baylor defense has played well all year, having one of its best games against SMU. The Bears shutdown the potent SMU passing attack the entire first half in Waco last week. Linebacker Mike Singletary has led the Bears’ defense most of the season. “He’s one whale of a linebacker,” Bellard said. “He loves to play the game and he is physically capable of playing well. ” The Bears offensive backfield has been crippled with the loss of Greg Hawthorne who is out for the season with a shoulder injury. The Bears still have fullback Steve Howell who rushed for 125 yards in three carries against the Aggies last year. Tight end Ronnie Lee is back and is a for midable receiver. Two of Smith’s main recievers will be Mike Fisher and Bo Taylor. This is no week to talk to Bellard about injuries. He will be playing musical running backs while trying to find someone who is healthy enough to play Saturday. Center and halfback were two positions of favorable depth for the Aggies at the beginning of the season. The Hous ton game has made a shambles of both of those positions. Curtis Dickey, Adger Armstrong and Temple Aday were victims of the Coogs while centers Ed Pustejovsky and Don Wright will probably not see action against the Bears. The Aggies are not only physically beat, their morale is low. Speaking of the Houston game Mike Mosley said, “We’ve got to shake this one off by Wednesday so we can start thinking about Baylor.” What about Monday and Tues- day? “Well I know that doesn’t sound too good,” Mosley said, “but this has been a long weekend. That was a hard game to get over. “We’ve got to buckle down now, take the games one week at a time and win the rest of our games,” he said. That is easier said than done in the Southwest Conference. The Baylor fans must not believe in their Bears anymore, as Baylor returned 1500 tickets to Texas A&M for the Saturday game. Another overflow crowd is ex pected in Kyle Field Saturday when the two teams meet for the 75th time. The kickoff is at 1:30 p.m. Rugby team busy The Texas A&M women’s rugby team will be busy this weekend as three teams pay visits to Aggieland. The Aggies will host the Houston Boars Saturday at 10 a.m., the Houston Hearts Saturday at 4:30 p.m. and traditional rival Austin Sunday at 12:30 p.m. All games will be played on the main drill field across from the MSC. The Aggies are 3-0 for the season.
