Wilson: “Looking for leadership
said Schakel. “Basketball forwards
would be ideal. We can teach them
to play the game and develop them
into middle blockers.”
Men’s volleyball is an extramural
sport at Texas A&M and is sponsored
by the intramural department which
gives the team some money for
travel. The team raised over $500 on
Friday night and will use the money
to buy new uniforms.
Local merchants donated prizes
and everyone in attendance was
offered a chance to win. All they had
to do was serve a volleyball over the
net into large laundry baskets on the
other side and claim their prize.
At least 400 people took a turn
serving before all the prizes were
gone.
During the fall the team plays a
school-oriented schedule and then
during the spring participates in pool
play with other teams throughout
the state, usually sponsored by other
schools, and sanctioned by the Un
ited States Volleyball Associaton.

“Yes, we need leadership on the
team; somebody among the older
players has got to step forward.” —
Texas A&M Head Coach Tom
Wilson.
It doesn’t take much brainpower
to realize that something deep-down
is wrong with the Texas Aggie foot
ball team. But trying to pin-point the
source of the problem is becoming
increasingly difficult.
Wilson himself is hard-put to fi
gure out just what is responsible for
his team’s lackluster play, although
he admitted to reporters Monday
that a lack of leadership among the
players is part of the problem.
“They’re a young team, and I
would hope with the leadership of
the coaching staff they’ll come on and
continue to improve,” said Wilson.
“At the same time, we can’t provide
guidance for them around the clock.
There’s got to be some help from the
more experienced players.”
Another contributing factor
touched on by Wilson in the team’s
difficulties is a lack of continuity.
Since early on, Texas A&M has been
plagued by inconsistent play and in
juries which have forced Wilson to
continually shuffle his starting lineup
and use many inexperienced
players.
“Yes, it is difficult to maintain con
tinuity,” said Wilson. “Were only
playing with three experienced star
ters on offense and really only four on
defense.”
The offensive picture has been
particularly disappointing for the
Aggies this year. So far, Texas A&M
is averaging only 15.5 points per
game through the first six contests. If
the 41 points scored against Texas
Tech is left out, the Aggies are only
averaging 10.4 points per game.
One thing hurting the Aggies has
been the lack of a dominant offensive
back. Wilson said Monday he had
hoped by now one of his tailbacks
would take that role, but so far it
hasn’t panned out.
“I think it’s unfortunate we ha
ven’t been able to establish a domi
nant back,” said Wilson. “Johnny
Hector with his endurance problem
hasn’t been able to do it. His main
problem is he gets winded quickly.
“Earnest Jackson’s been consis
tent but he also has been hurt. We
just haven’t been able to keep any
body on the field long enough.”
At the same time, Wilson gave
credit to his fullbacks for their
efforts. Wilson said junior David Hill
is an excellent blocker who “really
does good.” He also said sophomore
Ronnie James did well when he got
in against Baylor and now appears
fully recovered from an injury and
ready to play.
The quarterback situation, howev
er, is still a bit muddled, although
the status of senior David Beal’s
wrist has finally been decided, and
it’s the good news Wilson has been
waiting for.
X-rays taken by a radiologist Mon
day show Beal’s injured right wrist
has a slight fracture which doctors
feel should heal quickly. Wilson said
he expected Beal would return to
play in time for the Aggies’ last three
games against Arkansas, TCU and
Texas.
In the meantime, sophomore
Gary Kubiak’s role will increase. He
played most of the second half
against Baylor in relief of senior Mike
Mosley and put on a credible per
formance considering the circumst
ances.
“I’m very well pleased with Gary’s
performance,” analyzed Wilson.
“He came into the game at a difficult
time and did a good job. Yes, I think
we’ll see a lot of Gary Kubiak against
Rice. ”
Wilson also seemed to indicate
that Kubiak would probably get the
starting nod against the Owls,
although that decision would not be
final until later in the week.

Looking ahead to Rice, Wilson
said he thought the Owls had been
competetive with everyone they’ve
played this year, as indicated by
their wins over LSU and TCU, not to
mention scoring 21 points against
Texas in one quarter.
“They have a lot of seniors on their
starting squads and a great attitude
to go with it,” said Wilson. “They’re
playing two quarterbacks in two dif
ferent formations. (Junior Robert)
Hoffman does a great job with the
Veer and (senior Randy) Hertel is
doing well with the passing attack. ”
The Owls also have two large
backs in senior tailback Cal Fance
(6-1, 202) and senior fullback Frank
Wilson (6-2, 226). Wilson noted both
players have been doing a very good
job and the Owls in general “have
jflUK A«5 CLA/Jf
been playing pretty solid football.”
In a final look at his own team,
Wilson said the Aggies have got to
get their attitude right and quit mak
ing mistakes, especially turnovers.
“The interesting thing about the
Baylor game is that we both had the
same number of turnovers. The dif
ference was they capitalized on our
errors and we didn’t on theirs. That’s
got to change.”
