By RICK STOLLE Battalion Staff For Texas A&M to have a great defense, it needs to have players who make things happen. To make things happen, the player must take care of his own responsibility and help his teammates, said an A&M coach this week. Paul Register, A&M defensive tackle coach, believes that the Aggie defense will be a great one at the end of the season.

If an offensive guard can block the defensive tackle one-on-one, the offense will move the ball, he said. “The tackle must draw a double team to make our defense effective.” He said the tackles and middle linebacker must shut down the in side to shut down the offense. Register said he looks for a recruit who is tough, quick, has good speed, stands 6-2 or over and weighs at least 220 to be a defensive tackle. “I know it sounds like a tall order but we need a big, solid player at tackle, ” he said. “Our defense is set up for them.” So far this season, the coaches have been disappointed in the de fense. “They haven’t been a total team yet,” he said. A long run or pass must be counted the fault of the whole defense, said Register. “The rush could have been lacking, the linebacker might have missed his assignment or the secondary could have missed,” he said. “It could have been a lot of things so we count it as a defensive fault.” The pass rush or lack of it, has been a real disappointment. “We have a goal of three sacks a game,” said Register. “But we have not put enough pressure on the quarterback to cause things to happen.” It has not been a total defensive team effort, he said, “like we need.” There have been missed tackles, muffed assignments and some sloppy play but the coaches are working on it. “We recognize the problems and are working on them,” he said. “We will be better.” He said practice has been better than it has been all season. “I don’t know if it is the weather being cooler or if they have finally decided to come together,” he said. He indi cated that he hoped it was the latter. “They are starting to regroup and I think it is a good sign.” Register said he is pleased with the athletes he has at tackle. “They are a good bunch to work with. ” Arlis James is having a fine year, he said. James is in his second season as de fensive tackle and has made the jump from offense well. “He has all that we are looking for but he needs a little more flexibility,” Register said. Fred Caldwell is a walk-on who has earned a scholarship. “Fred is small for a tackle (220) but he is smart, a great competitor and has the desire to overcome his lack of size,” he said. Caldwell has been moved into the starting defensive tackle position with James. Mack Moore started the first three games but will be behind Caldwell for Texas Tech. “He will see a lot of action, though,” said Register. "His best game was against Mississippi and we want to see if Fred can come in and do a better job. ” Tommy Robison and Keith Guthrie are two big freshmen back ing up the tackles. “Robison needs a year to learn the system and get set tled in,” Register said. “Guthrie has all the ability in the world hut he needs to learn how to play with pain and the little injuries that football players get. ” Register came to A&M from Hurst L.D. Bell High School in 1972 where he was the head coach. He began his coaching career at Gavelston Ball and moved to Houston Spring Branch High School in 1956. He re mained there for 14 years and was head coach from 1964 to 1970. He recruits around the Houston area but had the north Texas area early in his career at A&M. He recruited eight of the 22 players on A&M’s all-decade Ohio team including Pat Thou Garth Ten Napel. ., , He said the studentsdoKw the impact their mood lu Missoi players during games andiii t Giants The players, studei mg alumni help our recruitinj’l "because they spread thew A&M to recruits.
