"Dazzling . melodic. Keaggy was the lead guitarist for Glass
Harp until 1972 when he left the group just as he was gaining
recognition as one of the best new rock guitarists ... By this
time, Phil had developed the speed and dexterity for which he
later became known."
- Guitar Player Magazine
"Guitarist extraordinaire . . one of musics finest composers,
vocalists, and guitarists . . . There may be some people who are
as smooth, there may be those who are as fast, there may be
some who are as creative, but it is his gift to have them all
combined "
- Harmony Magazine
"His music is reminiscent of Peter Frampton s, with extended
jazz-like guitar solos and crunching chord progressions . . . the
Phil Keaggy Band is an excellent group of musicians."

Aggies face Mustang Mania
By MARK PATTERSON
Battalion Staff
Stand by to roll cameras ABC.
Players take your places. Quiet on
the set. Lights. Camera. Action.
Tom Wilson Show, take two.
So it will be Saturday when the
Wilson-led Texas Aggies invade
Dallas and try to squelch Mustang
Mania 1978. Thinking it will be a
wild event the boys in TV land have
scheduled the affair for regional
television. After looking at the
characters participating, they have
every right to think it will be quite a
show.
At least they hope it doesn’t turn
out like the last Aggie-Mustang
game televised. It was back in 1976
and the Aggies came out blowing
smoke and never let up, taking a
33-0 victory over the Mustangs. Ron
Meyer hasn’t forgotten it.
“I just hope we don’t stink up the
place like we did the last time they
put us on TV,” Meyer said. “But
then, we’re not the same kind of
team we were in 1976. At least this
year we have the ability to score at
any time from anywhere.”
The main reason for the change in
the Mustang offense goes by the
name of Michael Carlton Ford. Cur
rently ranked as the second best
passer in the nation, the sophomore
quarterback is hitting on 56 percent
of his passes, compiling 1,934 yards
on the year.
In last year’s game against the
Aggies, Ford hit on three first half
bombs to lead SMU into the locker
room with a 21-7 advantage at the
break. But the second half was a dis
aster for Ford and the Mustangs as
the Aggies roared back for a 38-21
victory over the Ponies.
“We played well against them last
year, but they came out and put
nine of our defensive starters on the
bench with injuries in the second
half,” Ford remembered. “They
really don’t do anything fancy, they
just line up and come at you hard.”
And this week they’ll come at the
Mustangs from who knows where.
With Wilson at the controls last
week, the Aggies introduced new of
fensive formations to help defeat the
Rice Owls. And SMU can expect to
see even more new sets Saturday.
“I have no qualms or questions
about us putting in too much new
stuff,” Wilson said. “But as head
coach I have to be careful not to in
troduce too many new things each
week. We ll move as fast and as
careful as we can so our players can
comprehend what we re teaching

“We ll continue with the man-
in-motion and we have some new
things we’ll use Saturday. We ll just
have to see how the game’s going to
see how many new things we ll try."
The main problem facing the Ag
gies Saturday is stopping Ford’s
passing attack. But Wilson feels his
Aggies have a jump on the situation.
“There’s no question that it was
good for our defense to face a pass
ing team like Rice last week and
them come back and face SMU this
week,” Wilson said. “So really,
we re a week ahead defensively.
“But Ford can kill you in the air.
He throws high-percentage passes
and is so good picking up his secon
dary receivers. He does an excellent
job of picking up short yardage on
third down by dumping his passes to
his backs. And because he’s so big
and strong he can throw the deep-
out routes and the deep-post passes
very well. He can throw anything
for anywhere.”
Ford proved he’s human after all
last week against Texas. In his worst
day of the season Ford hit on 10 of
31 passes for 122 yards against a
stingy Longhorn defense. The
Longhorns continually pressured
Ford and keeping pressure on Ford
is the only way to stop him.
“We have to keep on him all day if
we hope to stop him, Wilson said of
Ford. “We can’t give him time in
the pocket or he’ll find somebody to
pass to. We need to force him to
hurry his throws and go to his sec
ondary receivers or he’ll burn us.
We can’t let him get the ball to
(Emanual) Tolbert.’ Tolbert leads
the Southwest Conference in recep
tions with 40.
The Aggies offense will be at full
strength with the return of Curtis
Dickey to the line. Dickey was held
out of the Rice game last weeklo
insure his good health for the SMI
contest.
“Curtis is totally well andreadylo
go,” Wilson said.-“Holdinghiraoiit
last week really helped him get ova
his injuries.
“We ll start (Raymond) Bekhenl
fullback and Curtis at tailbacl
David Brothers will play back-upi
both positions and Adger Armstas
will back-up at tailback. W
two-hack backfield we finally has
some depth at running back. At
we ll need it against these Mas
tangs.
"They have a much better de
fense then they did last year. Hie)
played an outstanding game
Texas last week and were rea|
tough inside against the run. And
their defensive secondary is veil]
impressive. It ought to be, h
play against Ford all last spring. Tkj
can’t help hut improve their pk
The game ought to be great hj
television fans. It pits the throw
attack of SMU against the ruslii
attack of Texas A&M. Plus, thedej
cision might have an effect on drj
gets to go to a post-season bowl
year.
“This game is important to b
teams because we re both still in
running to see who gets a bowlin
vitation, Wilson said. "Weregoi[||
into the game 5-2 and in prettygM
shape. They’re 3-3-1, but they
had some pretty impressive oil
ings.”
And with a little luck the Mm
tangs could have been 6-1 at ^
point in the season, said Meyer.Hi
important part of the season isaher
for the men in red and blue.
