Texas A&M entertains the Mustangs Saturday in the Aggies’ most important game of the year. Texas A&M whipped Rice 51- 26 Saturday to run its record to 5-2, 3-1 in the Southwest Confer ence race. Meanwhile, SMU dropped its first game of the year, losing 9-7 to Texas in Dallas. The Mustangs are 6-1 on the year and 3-1 in conference play.

Coach Wilson praised his team’s efforts in Saturday’s win and said the Aggies are starting to show themselves. “Our offensive output was im pressive,’’ Wilson said. “I’ve felt that for several weeks that we were close to exploding. ’ The Aggies rolled up 486 yards in the effort, giving the Ags a 398.1 yard average per game. Kubiak is the number 10 passer in the na tion, averaging 134.3 yards a game with his total of 1,143 yards and 10 touchdowns. He ranks 21st in total offense, accounting for 1,372 yards and a game average of 196 yards. Kubiak passed for six touch downs and ran for another Satur day and was rewarded for his per formance by being named the offensive player of the game by the coaching staff. Defensive end Jon van Sant was recognized as the defensive player of the game for his aggressive play, while linebacker Greg Berry was named the specialty teams’ player of the game. Although pleased with the win, Wilson said his team needs to im prove defensively. “Our defense totally dominated them (Rice) the first half, ” he said. “But, the second-half breakdowns were not very pleasing.’’ The Aggies took a 31-7 halftime lead and virtually shut the Owls down during the first half, yield ing only 96 total yards. However, the Owls finished the day with 379 total yards, only 18 on the ground. “We haven’t played a game this year in which our offense and de fense played extremely well said. “It should be very excitinga see those two backs against oun.| SMU and Texas A&M are\ tually even statistically, each hit. ing one of the top offensive at! defensive teams in the confei ence. That means that the kickit; game may play an important pat in the outcome of the game. "All coaches say it, but it’s true the kicking game is vitally impor tant,” Wilson said. He went on to say that hen* pleased with the Texas A&M hi . ing game.

Gary Kubiak together,” Wilson said. “This next week would certainly be a good week to do it.” Wilson said that a victory over the Mustangs Saturday would take a total team effort and a defensive showing similar to the one the Ags had against Houston three weeks ago. Hardy missed an extrapointj Saturday’s game (the spinning on the tee, causing 1b to shank it) and Wilson methinm the sideline. “In a game like that you find something to get mi Wilson said. “I’ve beenconcerai with that part of our kicking ge all year.” The offenses will match up the two best sets of backs in the con ference. SMU runs the I- formation and until last week, tail backs Eric Dickerson and Craig James split playing time at tail back. Saturday, however, head coach Ron Meyer used James at fullback and Dickerson at tailback against Texas, and has indicated that the same combination will play against the Ags. “That throws in an added di mension to the game,” Wilson Wilson said a missed extrapoii or field goal could possibly m« disaster against any of the teat! the Aggies will face the remainik of the season and he wants to sure every attempt is good. Overall, Wilson said hew: pleased with his team, sayingtli f good things are beginning happen. “Going into the year we we could peak at this time season,’ ' Wilson said. “HopeM# we ll be able to put it all this weekend.” tog* ^ Women s cross country team prepares for state Chen shot I Texas week* JM By FIT Althou ersity rr two OVi tem I latch i ggies' f MSC FREE UNIVERSITY | SHORT COURSE REGISTRATION By RICK STOLLE Battalion Staff In a cross country meet that was little more than preparation, the Texas A&M University women’s cross country team finished fifth at the Texas Invitational Meet. As proof that meet times have improved drastically, the time for the fifth-place Aggies would have easily won the meet two years ago. “That sort of tells you how ev erybody in the state is really im proving on their times,” said Aggie coach Bill Nix. The relay meet had two one- mile stretches, one mile and a half stretch, one half mile stretch and a final two-mile stretch. “The last three girls really ran well,” said the Aggie coach. “They were exceptional and came close to having the fastest times in their divisions.” The University ofTexas meet followed closely by Abilea Christian University, UT at Paso and the University Houston.
