It may not be the kind of recovery

Texas A&M Head Coach Tom

:ansas is the return of several ex-
ienced players from the sick bay.
he big news, of course, is the
of senior quarterback David
J, who suffered a slight fracture to
sfight wrist in the Houston game
month.
Although X-rays showed his wrist
t completely healed,Bealhas
n given die green light to play
inst Arkansas Saturday. Moreim-
tly, he ll have had two weeks
orkouts to prepare after being
wed to practice last Tuesday,
son showed his confidence in
Iby naming him the Aggies’ star-
Ifor Arkansas.
jl think our team ought to be able
better with David Beal back at

and maturity,’ said Wilson,

was contact work in a scrimmage
ng that reinforced Wilson’s con-
ice in Beal. However, it also
him the scary type of moment

offense,” explained Wilson. “They
started four drives from 65 yards out
and against a strong defense he took
the offense down and scored touch
downs in three of four possessions. ”
“However, I did get a scare one
time when he fell on his wrist. David
got up slowly and was holding his
wrist. I just held my breath to the
point of turning blue until I knew
he d be all right.”
According to Wilson, the doctors
believe Beal’s wrist should hold up
okay under the rigors of normal game
play, barring any extreme type of hit.
Of course, if Beal falls on the wrist, it
will hurt for sure, but the chances of
the fracture worsening are slim.
Besides Beal, four others have
been cleared to return to practice,
including junior guards John Osborn
and Kent Adams, sophomore corner-
back Darrell Adams and freshman
kickoff return specialist Billy Can
non. In additon, junior linebacker
Mike Little is back in form.
“Mike’s probably more healthy
now than he’s been at any time dur
ing the last four games,” said Wilson.
“And Billy Cannon is back at full
speed after having some calf prob
lems. Right now, Darrell Adams has
a broken wrist but has been released
to play. We’d like to use him if at all
possible to add some depth.”
Injuries have been the name of the
game for Texas A&M this year.
Trainer David Heath’s records show
23 of 87 scholarship players have
been out an average of seven and a
half weeks. In addition, 13 are out for
the season. The latest casualty was
sophomore starting offensive guard
Kevin Kennedy who underwent
knee surgery last Monday.
The situation has even forced the
Aggies to cancel their junior varsity
game with Cisco Junior College
Monday. Even so, Wilson said he
still believes j-v teams serve their
purpose as experience builders.
“The reason we canceled is we’ve
just run out of players, ” said Wilson.
“We re playing pretty much with ev
erybody on our team. Of course, the
thing you’ve got to remember is that
we’ve had an unusual problem this
year with having to play so many
young players. Normally the fresh
men would all be playing on the j-v
team.”
Despite all the injury problems,
Wilson is optimistic about the game
with the Razorbacks. His optimism
stems from the fact that Arkansas too
has had numerous injuries, thus put
ting the two teams on almost equal
footing.
“You look at Arkansas’ squad and
you can see where their injuries and
inexperience have hurt them,” said
Wilson. “Of course offensively,
they’ve gone back to the Veer. Their
starting quarterback Tom Jones is
still suffering with an injured toe and
on defense, (cornerback Ronald)
Matheney seems to be definitely
out.
“I think the one area they do well
in is the kicking game. That’s one
area where we’ve got to eliminate
our mistakes and upset them if we
expect to have a chance to win the
ballgame.”

The women’s team also had two

Reid Freeman and Brian Joelson

“They played very well,” said

“I don’t know what it is but
Stevens has had B. J.’s number every

Kent said he saw most of the
Southwest Conference teams at the
tournament. He feels the SWC will
once again be one of the toughest,
strongest conferences in the nation.
“Everybody is awfully good,” he
said. “TCU, Rice and Houston will
be very tough again.” Kent said
Arkansas, Texas and SMU will be
good with some good, young players.

DALLAS — Southwest Confer
ence basketball coaches agree that
Texas A&M and Arkansas were the
two best teams in the league this
season, but they said neither one was
unbeatable and that the remaining
seven spots in the league race were
wide open.
“I’ve got to go along with the ex
perts that Texas A&M should be the
favorite,” said Houston coach Guy
Lewis. “But the real improvement
has been at the lower end of the con
ference.
“The people at the lower end are a
lot closer to the top end. I’m not
saying that any team is going to be as
good as A&M. But I don’t consider
them any cinch.
Lewis and the league’s other
coaches gathered Sunday for their
annual pre-season review of rules
changes and for a meeting with the
media.
“Every coach in the league is real
ly optimistic,” said Lewis. “And that
means that somebody is going to be
very disappointed at the end of the
season.
“Texas A&M and Arkansas are a
notch above everyone and the rest of
us are fighting it out for the other
seven places. But they don’t pay off
for what it looks like on paper. If that
was the case then Baylor wouldn’t be
heading for the Cotton Bowl.”
Texas A&M was knocked out of
the NCAA playoffs last season until
the semifinals of the Midwest Re
gional, when the Aggies were defe
ated in overtime by eventual cham
pion Louisville.
And since the Aggies return their
front line of Rudy Woods, Rynn
Wright and Vernon Smith, along
with lanky Claude Riley, they are the
obvious pick to win.

“They are as long as they have that
Berlin Wall down there,” said TCU
coach Jim Killingsworth.
As far as the most improved club in
the league, the Rice Owls seemed to
be the popular choice.
Rice won only seven games last
year, but the Owls have been build
ing steadily under coach Mike
Schuler.
“I thought we played as well as
anybody in the conference last Feb
ruary,” said Schuler. “We have all
our starters back and are probably
the most experienced team in the
conference.
“I’d be very disappointed if we
didn’t have a winning season and I’d
be very, very disappointed if we
didn’t make it to San Antonio (where
the top six teams in the league gather
for the SWC’s post-season tourney).
“I think we are among the top five
teams in the league, the kids think
we are a good team and they think we
can beat anybody we play. Now it’s
time for us to go ahead and do it.
“We’ve played a lot of close games
that have been three and four point
losses the last few years. It’s time for
us to start winning those games. ”
