After one week of spring football
drills, Texas A&M University coach
Tom Wilson is faced with filling the
void left from the departure of two of
his fullbacks.
Saturday’s scrimmage proved to
be a costly one when second-team
fullback Ronnie James and third-
stringer Roger Wiley went down
with injuries that will cause them to
miss the rest of spring drills.
James, a freshman from Yates
High School in Houston, was the
first to go when he fractured a fibula
and dislocated his ankle on his left
leg. Wiley, also about to enter his
sophomore year, left later with dam
aged ligaments in his right knee.
James has already had his leg set
and put in a cast. Wiley underwent
surgery in Houston Monday after
noon.
“They are both definitely out for
the spring,’ Wilson said.
The loss of the two has left Wilson
with only one fullback, returning
starter David Hill, a junior from San
Antonio.
Elvis Walker, who is currently the
team’s third-string tailback, will be
moved to the back-up fullback slot.
Wilson said Walker, a sophomore
from Temple, will make the switch
rather than Ernest Jackson, who is
listed as the team’s co-No. 1 tailback
along with Johnny Hector. Wilson
had said earlier he planned to move
Jackson, a sophomore from Rosen
berg, to fullback.
“We can’t move Jackson,” Wilson
said. “He and Johnny Hector are our
two No. 1 tailbacks.”
As for the team’s performance last
week, Wilson was pleased, especial
ly with his first teams on offense and
defense.
“It was a good first week,” he said.
“Our first units looked really good. I
thought both of our first units domin
ated the second teams. Mike Mosley
and David Beal ran the first teams
well and the line showed some im
provement. The first defense was ex

Mosley led the team on three 65-

completed three of four passes for 41
yards. Hill scored twice on
dives and Pat Flinn and Daiil
hooked up with Mosley on dit; 1

DALLAS — Through the relative
ly mild winter and through the early
blooming spring, Roger Staubach
waited and waited for the urge to hit
him.
He waited for the anxiousness to
return, the eagerness that would
take him to the practice field to begin
yet another round of workouts that
would carry him to the peak of phy
sical condition.
He listened to coach Tom Landry
tell him that his statistics showed
him to be at the top of his game. And
he listened to general manager Tex
Schramm tell him that age is relative;
that he — at age 38 — had the body
of a much younger man.
But the urge never came and the
discussions with Landry and
Schramm failed to make a dent.
So on Monday, Staubach did what
he had told himself he was going to
do from the moment the 1979 foot
ball season ended.
He announced he had quarter-
backed his last game for the Dallas
Cowboys.
