A&M-OSU matchup set for 7:30 Saturday night
Wilson, Aggies out to declare Independence
By FRANK L. CHRISTLIEB
Battalion Staff
It’s been 59 years since the
exas Aggies played in their first
owl game.
Under legendary coach Dana X.
iible, Texas A&M defeated Gen
re College 22-14 in the Dixie
classic, held Jan. 2, 1922, in Dal
is’ Fair Park Stadium. Not only
id that game start the Aggies’
owl career, but it also began the
.ggie Twelfth Man tradition so
trong at Texas A&M today.
Many aspects of Texas A&M
football have changed since that
season, when the Aggies finished
with a 6-1-2 after ending the regu
lar season by tying the University
of Texas 0-0. Many coaching
changes, player changes, and the
advent of new offensive and defen
sive strategies have occurred dur
ing the years between that first
bowl game and the 1981 season.
Saturday’s Independence
Bowl, the first of several to be
played during the next few weeks,
will be the 13th bowl game for
Texas A&M. During the past six
decades Texas A&M has played in
the Cotton Bowl three times, and
the Sugar Bowl, Presidential Cup,
Gator Bowl, Orange Bowl, Liber
ty Bowl, Sun Bowl, Bluebonnet
Bowl and Hall of Fame Bowl once
each.
Bowl No. 13 finds Texas A&M,
which has been declared the home
team, a slight favorite over the
Oklahoma State Cowboys. In
their last bowl appearance, the
Aggies defeated Iowa State 28-12
in 1978 under new head coach
Tom Wilson. After taking over for
Emory Bellard in midseason of
that year, Wilson has guided the
team through the past three and a
half seasons, compiling a 20-19 re
cord.
The Aggies’ 6-5 season has been
classified as mediocre by some fol
lowers, while others have called it
an above-average year. However,
the Aggie players feel that since
the regular season has ended, only
a win over OSU will satisfy them.
Leading the way for Texas A&M
against the Cowboys will be junior
quarterback Gary Kubiak, who
says he’s ready to play after sus
taining a bruised right shoulder
three weeks ago in the Aggies’ 37-
7 win over Texas Christian Uni
versity. Even though Kuhiak’s sta
tus was questionable when he re
injured the shoulder five days la
ter against UT, he said he feels
confident about Saturday’s game.
I’ve never felt better, ’’ Kubiak
said. “It’s completely healed. I’ve
never passed better — I’m ready
to go.”
Kubiak said the Aggies have a
great deal of respect for the Cow-

ceiver is perfect for this
boys, who finished the season with
a 7-4 record after losing 27-3 to the
University of Oklahoma in their
final game of the season.
Fullback Ernest Anderson and
tailback Shawn Jones have led the
Cowboy offense this season, while
OSU’s Rusty Hilger and John
Doerner have split the quarter
back duties.
Jones has gained 788 yards,
while Anderson totaled 678 yards
for the season. Doerner and Hil
ger have combined for 1,531 pas
sing yards on 130 completions in
247 attempts.
Noseguard Gary Lewis anchors
the Cowboy defensive line, and
Aggie senior center David Bandy
knows he’ll have a tough assign
ment blocking the 6-5, 250-
pounder.
“He’s real Quick,” Bandy said.
“He’s big and he can move — it’ll
be a big challenge. He has the size
and quickness of a typical nose-
guard. They find the biggest and
strongest people and throw them
in that position. He even gave
(Nebraska center, Outland Tro
phy winner) Dave Rimington
problems (when OSU lost 54-7).”
In fact. Bandy cites the entire
OSU defense as a strong unit
Ernest Anderson
which will give the Aggieofesi
line all it can handle.
“They held Oklahoma taj
yards lielow its average,” 8a
said. “They do a lot ofthin^
strong-side stunting. Tlieyinj
like SMU, with the exceptmij
noseguard.
“They’re really preparing
us, but we want to win motel
they do.,”

The University of Oklahoma

a struggling Texas A&M squad 83-
55 Thursday night in Norman,
Okla., handing the Aggies their
third loss in a week.
Assistant coach Cindy Gough
said the Aggies went to Oklahoma
ready to play, but they fell behind
28-4 and never recovered. By the
end of the first half, the Sooners
had connected on 55 percent of
their field goals, compared to
Texas A&M ’s 32 percent, for a 48
20 lead.
The Aggie defense could not
contain Oklahoma’s Molly
McGuire, who pulled down nine
rebounds and hit eight of eight
field goal attempts and four of six
free throws for 20 points.
Kelley Sullivan, who played all
40 minutes of the game for Texas
A&M, scored 16 points, sinking
seven of 17 field goal attempl

United Press International
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — The
Arkansas Razorbacks moved their
Gator Bowl preparations to their
grass practice field Thursday and
worked on the offensive and de
fensive schemes of bowl opponent
North Carolina.
“It wasn’t a very good offensive
practice,” coach Lou Holtz said.
“The grass makes a difference in
the timing and rhythm. We’re
having trouble getting consistency
on the offense. We can’t run many
consistent plays without fouling
up.”
Holtz said freshman quarter
back Brad Taylor, apparently set
to start against the 9th-ranked Tar
Heels, did not throw well Hit*
day and speculated that Taylf|
shoulder might have beenmmw-P
problems. Taylor likely will s»p
in the place of junior Tom JoikI
