THE BATTALION
MONDAY, OCTOBER 6, 1980
Beal, Brown lead Aggies to win over Baiders, 41-
By RICHARD OLIVER
Sports Editor
On Oct. 6, 1979, a dejected Texas
Aggie football team limped off the
field in Lubbock after shouldering a
bitter defeat to the Texas Tech Red
Raiders, 21-20.
Behind the silent parade to the
lockerroom, the Tech scoreboard
flashed “Poor Aggies” repeatedly as
the Red Raider cheerleaders led the
crowd in the chant.
Saturday at Kyle Field, the Texas
A&M football team remembered
that unsportsmanlike happening and
talented Red Raider
thrashed a
team, 41-21.
Behind the brilliant leadership of a
born-again David Beal, the Aggies
took after Tech from the first second
on and never looked back.
The victory was especially impor
tant for the team after a very difficult
two weeks that saw three players re
moved from the squad following a
University drug investigation.
Eight players were taken before
drug hearing boards during the
probe, and six came out with their
team status intact.

Leandrew Brown, one of the im
plicated players, roved the field ex
pertly, picking off three Red Raider
passes and recovering one fumble,
including an incredible grab on his
own two-yard line to thwart a Texas
Tech march with 10:02 left in the
third quarter. He also grabbed one
pass early in the game, but came
down out of bounds.
After the game. Brown was re-
lunctant to say he had something to
prove because of his unpopular pub
licity.
“It was our defensive line,” Brown
said modestly after the game. “The
quarterback just had to throw it up.
It was a team effort. The whole team
had something to prove.”
But on this day, the laurels be
longed to Brown and David Beal.
The senior quarterback, who has
spent his entire college career be
hind Mike Mosley, was awarded a
first team position after Mosley
stumbled through a 25-9 loss to Penn
State two weekends ago.
Beal didn’t take long to adjust to
his new standing.
With 6:56 left in the first quarter,
after steering the Aggies 80 yards on
their first possession, Beal took off to
the right on the option and cut left
against the grain for a 20-yard touch
down run.
Then the Brown-Beal combina
tion started to click.
In the second quarter with the
Aggies ahead 10-0, Brown picked off
an errant Ron Reeves pass and re
turned it to the Tech 11-yard line.
Three plays later, Beal cut against
the grain again for a nine-yard TD
and a 17-0 lead.
Tech then took over at its own 20.
Running back Wes Hightower swept
to the left comer and coughed up the
football after a hard hit by Van Bar
nett on the 32-yard line. Once again.
Brown picked up the turnover to set
up another Beal score.
After a seven-yard run by Earnest
Jackson, Beal once again sped to his
right and then cut left for a 25-yard
touchdown run and suddenly it was
24-0 A&M.
On the next Tech possession. Red
Raider substitute quarterback Mark
James came in to try and crack the
Aggie defense. Enter Brown again.
James lifted a pass toward flanker
Mike Jackson and Brown interceded
to pick it off and return it to the Tech
24.
This time, however, Beal let
someone else do his work for him as
Sanders carried it in from the three
to make it 31-0 Aggies with 10:15 left
in the half.
Then, the Aggie defense slack
ened a bit, as Tech drove for its first
touchdown with 1:15 left in the half
to make it 31-7.
Things began to go sour for A&M
in the third quarter, as Tech drove 80
yards on 10 plays on the first series to
make it 31-14.
After Tech tacked on an additional
score later in the quarter to draw
within 10, A&M regained its senses
in time to score 10 points in the
fourth quarter and ice the game.
The last TD came on the same
counter-option Beal had scored with
all day as he scooted 32 yards with
3:38 left to give A&M a 41-21 lead.
Although Tech finished with 394
yards total offense to the Aggies’ 355,
the Red Raider yardage was all for
naught as a spirited A&M defense
made the big plays when it had to.
Van Barnett added one intercep
tion to Brown’s three and broke up
two passes.
“It’s just great to win,” said A&M
Head Coach Tom Wilson in a post
game press conference. “I’m just
proud to start conference like this.”
After two weeks of turmoil in the
Aggie ranks due to the drug busts,
the win was especially savory.
“With what these players have
been through these past two weeks,”
Wilson shook his head thoughtfully.
“I’m just proud of them. They were
very intense, but at the same time,

very relaxed. I take my hat off to
them.”
Indeed, the atmosphere in the
lockerroom following the game was
one of quiet relief mixed with quite a
bit of vocal scorn for the Aggie cri
tics. It had been a hard fight, after
all.
The players all said there was “a lot
to prove.”
“We re a new ballclub,” said cen
ter David Bandy forcefully. “We re
ready to play anybody. We’ve put in
a lot of work for this.
“The offensive line didn’t have an
off-week. We haven’t had a day off.
We’re up at 6 a.m. every other day
lifting weights. It’s a new Aggie
team. We’ve had some difficulties
the past few weeks. It’s too bad Tech
came along when they did. We took
it all out on them.”
Darrell Adams, one player impli
cated in the Agscam investigation,
said he felt he had a little something
to prove.
“In a way, I did (have something to
prove),” he said. “But it was a team
effort. I just tried to do my best. And
I’m gonna try my best next week in
front of my home crowd Houston and
show them it was wrong. ”
Adams finished with four tackles
and broke up a pass.
All the players were full of praise
for Beal.
“Beal had a lot to prove,” said re
ceiver Mike Whitwell. “He played
behind Mike (Mosley) for four years.
David just took control in the hud
dle. He was tellin’ people what to do.
“We didn’t make any dramatic
changes. The main thing is we had
something to prove and we took it to
’em.”
Running back Johnny Hector,
who was held to only 47 yards, said
the Aggies were now a team to
watch.
“We got tired of being put down
on all sides,” he said. “We’re gonna
forget about that. That’s old.
“We’re gonna play some ball.
We’re back.”

Aggies finish third in tournamen
By MIKE BURRICHTER
Battalion Staff
The young Texas A&M women’s volleyball team came
back to College Station Sunday with a .500 season re
cord after taking third place in the Lamar Invitational.
The Beaumont tournament consisted of 10 teams, and
the Ags compiled a 4-2 record there this weekend.
In pool matches Friday, the Aggies beat Rice Univer
sity, 15-6, 15-5; defeated West Texas State University,
15-3, 16-14; and lost to the tournament’s eventual win
ner, the University of Texas, 15-4, 15-13.
On Saturday morning, the Ags beat Texas Women’s
University, 15-1, 15-4, to take second place in their
pool. In the first semifinal match, A&M lost to Lamar,
15-9, 10-15, 15-12. In the match for third place, the Ags
beat North Texas State University 15-10, 15-12.
That brings the team’s season record to 8-8, and head
coach Terry Condon says her young team is starting to
perform up to its capability.
