Tech is coming off an impress ive showing against Baylor last week and could pose problems for the Aggies. The Bulldogs gave Baylor all it could handle before dropping a 28-21 decision to the Bears. Quarterback Matt Dunigan passed for over 300 yards, con necting on 30-of-53 passes against the Bears’ secondary, and Aggie Head Coach Tom Wilson is aware of Tech’s passing potential. “Just looking at the films they are a very competitive, well- coached team. They threw the ball well, their quarterback is quick and drops back deep in the pock et. He doesn’t throw the ball in a crowd. He has a very strong arm — very impressive.’ Through three games Dunigan has thrown for 614 yards on 52-of- 94 passes and has been inter cepted twice. leni IS YOURS AN lenem efficient nome?! The success of the Bulldog offense depends upon the type of game Dunigan has, but by no means is it a one-man team. Their offensive line is not as big as that of Boston College but is very quick off the ball. However, the line doesn’t have much depth. The average size is about 6-2, 230, while the Texas A&M defensive line averages about 6-4, 245 — something second-year Tech coach Billy Brewer is aware of: “Defensively, the Aggies are very aggressive and extremely drilled in the fundamentals of foot ball. I’m sure they will be giving us problems all day.” Brewer said the Bulldogs will run out of the wishbone in search of some consistent running. The Bulldogs are averaging 111 yards per game on the ground and 225 through the air out of a pro-set backfield. The leading ground-gainer is I Carlton Jacobs, a 5-foot-9, 183 | junior running back who has car ried the ball 36 times for 140 I yards, a 46.7 yard-per-game av- |erage. Ronnie Williams, at 5-foot-ll, 173, is the second leading ground I gainer with 95 yards on 26 carries for a 29 yard-per-game average. The others don’t come close to that, but they will test the Aggie defense in trying to establish a I running game. The Bulldogs bring several talented receivers with them. Split end Leland Padgett has I caught 13 passes for 165 yards and I one touchdown. Flanker Austin Kattenbraker has caught six passes | for 76 yards. Wilson said that both receivers have excellent speed and run very disciplined routes. Two favorite targets for Duni gan are running backs Jacobs and Bulldog opponents Atlk.^ue'f have averaged 180 yds Jr ,| . ground and 116 tkugiiiJr , )een three games. ** Williams, and between them they have caught 12 passes and scored one touchdown. Jacobs has caught six passes for 129 yards and Wil liams six passes for 58 yards. Defensively, the Bulldogs will be hard-pressed to stop the Aggie running duo of Johnny Hector and Earnest Jackson. Through two games they have combined for 404 yards on the ground. Jackson is the leading ballcarrier with 223 yards on 41 carries for a 111.5 yard-per-game average. Hector has rushed 28 times for 181 yards and a 90.5 yard-per-game av erage. “The only way I can see that we can stop them is by bringing a SO SO and shooting them at the line of scrimmage,” Brewer said of the duo. The Aggies are averaging 242.5 yards per game on the ground and 130 yards through the air for an average of372.5 yards per game in total offense. Brewer said: “Their offensive line averages about 15 to 20 pounds heavier and two inches tal ler than Baylor’s, which is not a very good omen for us. “They come off the ball ex tremely well, which means that we ll have to play awful hard on every down to stay competitive,” Brewer said. Wilson said the Aj priority in facing the Bulfej establish a strong inside game and then, perhaps, the otfense. “Their defensive lineisial big but very quick, andvtni plined — one that is nott beat themselves. “If we do a good job ei® the ball we can move it® They are a good though, and 1 don't see ana weaknesses,” he added.

Liliana Fernandez will leave today for Curacao in the Carib bean to compete in an internation al invitational tournament. She was invited to the tourna ment because she is the top tennis player among women in her native Colombia. Mike Pazourek also leaves to day to compete in the Northwest Sectionals championship. Pazourek is the top-ranked player in the Northwest section of the country. ' He has won nine of 14 tourna ments since January, as well as the Northwestern Grand Prix of Tennis. “I hope to be ranked number one,” he said. “But the coaches in the area make the rankings and I haven’t been there since August.” However, he had felt that the coaches would rank him at the top. He won the Grand Prix by appro ximately 600 points, and totaled over 1,500 points by the end of the event. Fernandez said: “I have never played against such good competi tion before. There will be a lot of pros and older, more experienced players there. The 19-year-old said she and her Colombian partner Gloria Escobar, also 19, will be two of the youngest players at the tourna ment. The tournament invited the top two players from many countries in South America, Europe and the Caribbean. She said many of the athletes are the best their coun tries can offer. Fernandez will compete in both the singles and doubles competi tion, and will be paired with Esco bar in doubles. Aggie tennis coach David Kent said he is happy for both of these athletes. “It is a great honor for the two of them to be selected for these tour naments,” he said “Lili is a great personal the court.
