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

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.

University Athletic Director Russ
Potts said Tuesday the Mustangs
will have their second straight
60,000-plus home crowd Saturday

“If ticket sales stop right now,”
said Potts, “and everybody shows
up who has a ticket, we’ll have
60,000 plus. That’s despite being
regionally televised.”
SMU drew 64,897 two weeks ago
for Houston, the Mustangs largest
home crowd since 1965. For their
two home games thus far this season
the Mustangs are averaging more
