Time is up for the Aggie
Well it’s here.
You thought it would never get
here but it did. The A&M coaches
never thought it would arrive but it
finally did. The Aggie football
players never thought they would
make it through two-a-days but they
did.
The first players arrived Aug. 13.
They were a group of freshmen who
showed up as raw talent ready and
willing to learn what college football
was all about. They had promising
backgrounds and would show, after
two-a-day workouts, that head coach
Tom Wilson and his staff had done a
very good job recruiting. They
worked for four days running plays,
working with the coaches, learning
plays and trying to prepare for the
day they would put on the pads with
big boys.
The veterans arrived Aug. 17
knowing full well what was in store
for them the next two weeks. It had
been a good summer with over 30
players staying and working in Col
lege Station. They diligently re
ported to the weight room between
3 and 8 p.m. daily to lift weights.
The Aggies came back noticeably

University Drive at Welborn Overpass
stronger than ever before as a team.
The sweat of over 80 Aggie foot
ball players has poured on to Kyle
Field for over two weeks. The cuts,
bumps, bruises, pulled muscles,
sore muscles, twisted ankles and
headaches have come and gone as
they do every fall.
Gallons and gallons of water and
Gatorade or Quick-Kick have been
consumed along with salt pills and
vitamins to fend off the damaging
heat and humidity of the scorching
afternoons on the Astroturf of Kyle
Field.
Already hundreds of yards of
tape, wraps and bandages have been
used to hold the Aggie team to
gether through the daily practices.
And there will be a lot more tape
used as the season progresses and
nagging injuries begin to occur.
Each week the small pains will be
tougher to get rid of and Sunday
morning will be a painful experience
for a lot of battle-battered players.
At times, practices dragged on
endlessly as the coaches and players
alike grew weary of the repitition of
plays. The same plays and same mis
takes were being made over and
over.
The coaches watched film after
film of practices and scrimmages.
They ran them backward and for
ward and backward and forward into
the wee hours of the morning.
And everyday, the players and
coaches came back to the field to
smooth and tune and workout the
mistakes to where the Aggies
started coming together and looking
like a team.
The freshmen started improving
and several caught the coaches’ eyes
immediately and started pushing
the veterans a little harder.
Gary Kubiak, a freshman quar
terback from Houston St. Pius, sur-
prised Aggie coaches with hisil
to run the option as well as
They already knew the kii
pass as he broke almost every!
high school passing record sti
present Minnesota Viking q«
back. Tommy Kramer.
Kubiak was just one of
pleasant surprises the coacliei
perienced.
Freshman running back j«i
Hector showed coaches and
mage fans why LSD fought s
to have him in Baton Rouge, k
showed moves and quicknessl
other Aggie back. But he shm
was human as his jitterbugst)l
running caused him to lose tk
several times. If he overcomei
butter fingers, he should be
thing else.
There were also freshmen
nest Jackson and Ronnie Jamei
proved that A&M is very dee
talented running backs now.
But the man who dm
biggest applause when he
the ball in the scrimmages
No. 33. George Woodard speit iu j'"' ( ? ar
last two weeks testing his leg,! ha:
ing for the day it doesn’t hurt,
not at full speed but he has
long, long way.
The scrimmages showed
“good things.” And they k
out the biggest problem of tie
gies; the punting game. It m
resolved and fast.
It’s all over. This week is lib
game week for the Aggies
son. There is no more time lot
takes. The injuries must heal
players must lie physically read
much more importantly, msl 3UST0P
ready. Brigham Young is thebi bitter
game of the season now foi
Texas Aggies and that’s all then is only r
it. •
