ketball team made its ofTicial

day night. The White team won

missed assignments, which are
common at this point. Coach
Shelby Metcalf was pleased with
what he saw in the game.
“I was encouraged,” the Aggie
coach said. “They are playing
with more intensity and playing
together better than they did this
time last year. Everybody is
enjoying playing together. They
had the adrenaline flowing even
though they’ve been playing to
gether since the beginning of Oc
tober.
“I thought we made the transi
tion from defense to offense and
from offense to defense a lot bet
ter than we have been. I saw a lot
of positive things out there to
night.”
For the White team, Rynn
Wright lead the scoring with 20
points. Tyrone Ladson and David
Britton each scored 15. Rudy
Woods scored 14 and led in the
game with nine rebounds.

Saints’ Nolan haunted by flex defense
B
United Press International
NEW ORLEANS — New Orleans
Saints’ coach Dick Nolan, the defen
sive genius who created the compli
cated “flex defense for Dallas in the
1960s, now has to figure out a way
to stop his Frankenstein from tearing
his own offense to shreds.
And when the Saints play the
Cowboys this Sunday, Nolan admits
he will have problems trying to con
fuse the defense he made a Cowboy
mainstay.
"The only thing I’ve been thinking
about is Jethro Pugh, who’s been
playing this thing for 12 years,’’
Nolan said. “There’s not anything
you re going to show him that’s dif
ferent. They’ll be up against guys
who have done it for seven weeks.
We don’t know it that well.
Nolan said the Saints would try as
best they could to hide coverages of
defense and to change blocking as
signments on offense to throw the
7-4 Cowboys off balance. But he ad-

mits the job won t be easy.
“There will lie some blocking as
signments that change, but what
we re going to do against them I
couldn’t tell you,” Nolan said. “You
don t want to get into too many
things because you don’t want the
offensive line thinking too much.”
The 5-6 Saints, who have lost their
last two games to Pittsburgh and At
lanta in the final two minutes, have
used the flex defense almost exclu
sively since the fourth regular season
game.
But Nolan expects his team to use
it more than the Cowboys Sunday
simply because Dallas shifts into
long-yardage, five-defensive back
defenses when they stop teams cold
on first down.

The highly complicated defense
has been played only at Dallas, San
Francisco and New Orleans — all
teams coached by Nolan. The de
fense involves different alignments
and keys among the interior linemen
and linebackers that sometimes go
against natural defensive tenden
cies, making it extremely difficult to
pick up quickly.
