Pnt+c “anti pvf^rvKorlv shows two home games th ge exp«a hy SE/S.N PETT\ Battalion Staff Ihere was a beginning and an end icsday afternoon at Cain Hall, xas A&M University’s athletic irm. |The beginning was new head ch Tom Wilson’s first weekly i conference. Wilson’s confir- )n of the I-formation as the Ag- basic offensive set marked the of Wishbone-oriented football Texas A&M. I want it made clear that we are downplaying the Wishbone, be- ie it is a good offense,” Wilson [ just think that you have to do atyou believe in, and to do what \ want to do, we will change our isive approach. Vilson appeared more relaxed ay than he had on his first usion show Sunday. Wilson, 'thrown into the head coaching ness with a bang, admitted that t week was not one of his better eks. Itwas totally conhising,” he said. 1 to find out where to be all the between radio interviews, tapaper interviews, the post- pe press conference and the tele ion show on Sunday, I was just IThat television show was one of ‘hardest things I’ve ever done,” 34-year-old coach said about his liday Aggie highlights show. “I F to spend all my time just think- of football and worrying about offense. Now my schedule is completely changed." Wilson spoke more of the this week’s game with SMU than of his first head coaching victory over Rice. Yet, he did point out some outstanding individuals in the Ag gies’ victory over the Owls. “David Beal (quarterback) looked very good,” Wilson said. “I was very pleased with him. He is a quality athlete that should play more, he’s too good to be sitting on the bench. “You will see a lot more of David Beal. But that’s not saying we’re going to have two first team quar terbacks. Mike Mosley is our start ing quarterback and will stay that way. We just feel that we have two great quarterbacks and that we can win with both of them. “Mike handled the passing ex tremely well against Rice. He did a great job of looking at his primary receiver and throwing to his secon dary receiver if necessary. Wilson reiterated his feelings that statistics or scores were not the most important aspect of last week’s game. “The most important thing about the Rice game, and I’ve been saying it all week, is that it was a complete team victory,” he said. “That was one game where the entire team came together and overcame great odds to win. “The toughest thing last week was getting the team mentally motivated. We had relaxed, easy practices and tried to build confi dence among our players. At this point, the team and I are totally op timistic about the future.” Wilson pointed out halfback David Brothers’ effort as his best ever. “Brothers played his best game ever in an Aggie uniform,” Wilson said. “He had some super runs and got a lot of his yards on his own. “Russell Mikeska (tight end) had a good day for us catching some key passes and making some tough downfield blocks.” Wilson named several other Ag gies as having a good game, showing that it was indeed, a team effort. “Cody Risien (offensive tackle) and Doug Holmes (offensive guard) played verv, very well,” he said. “Holmes had some key corner blocks.” On the defensive side of the ledger, Wilson praised linemen Jacob Green and Eugene Sanders for their consistent pressure on Rice quarterbacks all afternoon. He also pointed out defensive backs Darrell Smith and Elroy Steen. The two backs were instrumental in shutting down Rice’s passing game. “I think we had a good first half of football against the Owls,” Wilson said. “But the second half we had a few mental mistakes that allowed Rice to score two touchdowns.” Wilson talked confidently and sharply throughout the press con ference. He is quickly showing that he is ready to do what it takes to win, and change is first on his list. He spoke of recruiting ?nd what effect the changes he will imple ment next year will make, such as a multiple-scheme offense. “I have called a lot of our recruits and everything looks great,” Wilson said. “The switch to total I-forma tion will not hurt us at all. “In fact, we will have to start re cruiting more in the skilled posi tions. We will have two wide re ceivers next year and possibly, a slot back. We will also be recruiting of fensive linemen who can pass block,” he said. Wilson will have time to work on his television appearance, but more importantly, he now has time to run the Texas A&M football program the way he believes it should be 846-6714 & 846-1151 _ UNIVERSITY SQUARE SHOPPING CENTER^ Formerly ABC Interstate Theatres help oftl he savinj ear per ei- s that om le essentul xne has sett tography timed, d curve i to idenl t activity the film ed. manufai ■mploymi fime hast! t this can not requi o erase professii id effectw Basketball tourney to move to HemisFair Arena in 80 puter is ! camera si because r very si :o subjei tion alwa nd tliusti MANOR CAST 3 THEATRES United Press International IALLAS — The Southwest Con- nce, despite having two suc- postseason basketball tour- lents in Houston and the pros- ts for another next March, will re the event to San Antonio in e man who organized San An- io’s bid for the tournament said day the conference chose his because it presented a neutral and because of a package that lower in price than the one rented by the city of Houston. WC faculty representatives last weekend to hold the 1980 Imament in the HemisFair |na. A decision on the tourna- t site had not been expected the conference’s winter meet- lext March the tournament will played at The Summit in Hous- concluding the three-year con- with that arena. The past two tournaments have drawn large crowds and last year’s event, won by the University of Houston, sold out all three nights. “The Summit was the greatest thing that ever happened to South west Conference basketball,” said league commissioner Cliff Speegle, who went on to say that the faculty representatives were interested in moving the tournament to various sites. “I think the eventual idea (of the faculty representatives) was to go to neutral sites if at all possible,” he said. “And I think the success the people in Houston gave to the tour nament by their total support was something that made the conference feel the tournament itself had ar rived and would be a success at any one of a number of locations — in cluding The Summit.” Although no mention of televising the tournament was made by the conference office, Speegle said tele vision was not out of the question. “They (the faculty representa tives) are interested in it being on television, he said. “First, though, we want a full house. Then we will talk about television. ” Leo Rose, a San Antonio busi nessman who made the HemisFair’s presentation, said money was a key element in the bid. “What happens, of course,” said Rose, “is that the SWC was very in terested in the financial success of the tourney because they do get the proceeds. “San Antonio offered what we thought was a very attractive pack age. We offered arena rent, ticket selling and ticket taking, ushers, policemen, the whole package.” Neither Rose nor Speegle would say what the cost of the San Antonio package would be. “I also think the neutral site had a great bearing on the SWC wanting to come to San Antonio, Rose said.
