Page 10 THE BATTALION MONDAY, MARCH 30, 1981 Wilson pleased with team’s offensive progre By RITCHIE PRIDDY their spring workouts over the date. Coach Tom Wilson carried morning and was obviously Sports Editor weekend with perhaps one of the his troops through a tough IVst pleased with what he saw. The Texas Aggies continued most promising scrimmages to hours of scrimmage Saturday “We had a good scrimmage. We’re very, very pleased with our first team offensive unit. With the exception of three drives (2 fum bles, 1 penalty) they were not stopped, he said. Statistics showed that the first team offense handled the first team defense with ease at times. The offense compiled over 400 yards total, 297 through the air. Junior signal-caller Gary Kubiak stepped into the vacant quarterback slot and seems to have secured it for the fall. During Saturday’s scrimmage he com pleted 10 of 15 passes for 213 yards and an 80-yard touchdown pass to Mike Whitwell before leaving with a bruised shin. Backup quarterback John Elkins came in and completed 4 of 6 passes for 84 yards, one a 24-yard touchdown pass to Don Jones. The running game has con tinued to improve and seems to be solid going into the last hard week of spring drills. Tailback Thomas Sanders car ried the ball 15 times for 41 yards and fullback David Hill carried four times for 58 yards, including a 45-yard gallop through the first team defense. Johnny Hector, used sparingly, ran seven times for 29 yards and one touchdown. Wilson was confident in his offense saying, “Our running and accounted for much o( showing in Saturday’s Linebackers Jerry Bobby Strogen missd with injuries and the ss wasn’t at full strengthen Wilson was not sati the play of the defenm dary but refused to male cuses for the poor skns displeasing to see as« yardage against the deb « did today,” he said. \ lot of work to iatE: Here’s the difference between a bank’s interest-bearing checking account and ours: Ours pays 5.47% effective annual yield. Theirs pays 5.39% (or, in some cases, much less). MoneyStore was the first interest-bearing checking account in the Brazos Valley. And it’s still the best. Look at these features: • $300 Minimum Balance (not $500, $600, $700, $1,000 or $1,200). You pay no service charges at Brazos Savings if you maintain only a $300 minimum balance. • Maximum Interest—Regardless of Balance. MoneyStore pays you 5 1 /4% interest, compounded continuously, on your balance (an effective annual yield of 5.47%). Even if your balance drops below $300, you earn maximum interest on your funds. • Telephone Bill Paying at No Extra Cost. With your authorization, MoneyStore will pay some of your bills direct. Just call us, tell us who to pay, how much and when. Keep your funds earning interest until you need to pay your bills. (On telephone bill paying, we pay the postage. If we miss a due date through our error, we pay the late fee.) • Overdraft Protection. Brazos Savings has automatic overdraft pro tection for qualifying MoneyStore customers. And it costs you nothing — until you use it. It’s easy to open a MoneyStore checking account. And we’ll pay you to use it.

Texas A&M, traditionally noted for its outstanding defenses, could have some depth problems due to in juries. "We weren’t pleased with the progress of the defense. They played on occasions, though,” he said.
