Mistakes
Battalion/Page 10

Banged up, Ray? More like
down and out.
In fact, the Owls should have
foreseen problems when star
ters Doak Slay and Donahue
Walker were lost to injuries be
fore the start of the season.
The Owls had lost starting
tight end Deron Miller to a rib
injury, but he played during the
first quarter of the Texas A&M
game. In addition, running back
Charles Hester missed Satur
day’s game with a sore knee,
running back Antonio Brinkley
has been out almost the entire
season with knee problems, cor-
nerback Alvin Rettig played de
spite a bruised heel and running
back Weldon Meeks sustained
torn knee ligaments against
Texas Tech.
“Everybody’s got injuries,”
Alborn said. “The list goes on
and on, and you have got to have
that depth. I’m really dis
appointed for the players.”
Alborn said mistakes spelled
the Owls’ defeat. The Aggies
capitalized on six interceptions,
two of which led to touchdowns.
“Early in the game, we drop
ped two (passes) across the pipe
that were catchable,” Alborn
said. “Obviously, Gary Kubiak
did a great job running their
offense. Their linemen did a
great job — they blocked well
and opened up some holes. If
they just stand in there toe-to-
toe, they’re going to be tough to
get through.”
Rice defensive tackle Clenzie
Pierson gave the Aggie offense
credit for its performance.
“They scored those two quick
touchdowns on us, and we never
could come back,” he said. “We
made some mistakes that were
fatal to us.
“A&M has a good team, too.
They had the opportunity to
gamble more than we did and
they were ready to play. There
was a lack of concentration ... so
we got burned on a couple of
pass plays we shouldn’t have got
ten burned on.”
Johnson, who completed 15
of 33 passes for 168 yards while
throwing five interceptions, said
he didn’t expect the Aggies to be
well-prepared to play an 0-6
team.
“We thought it would be hard
for them to get ready for us,”
Johnson said. "We came out and
drove the ball well and we
thought that would set the tem
po for the rest of the game.
“We had some breaks and
some busts. That just seems to be
the story for the whole season —
someone up therejust isn’t look
ing after us or something.”

sure got up and looked to see if
there were any flags on the
field,” he said. “It feels great to
finally catch one that counts.”
Kellen, whose apparent
touchdown grabs versus
Louisiana Tech and Houston
were called back because of
penalties, said he didn’t start
celebrating his score until he was
sure the play was in the record
books.
The offensive performance
was so productive it nearly over
shadowed the Aggie defense’s
best outing of the year. But
Sherrill and Rice Head Coach
Ray Alborn were quick to point
out the importance of the Texas
A&M defense in the outcome of
the game.
“After I caught it, I dang-

Sherrill said the Aggies were
“making things happen” defen
sively and were forcing the Owls
to do things on offense that they
didn’t plan to do.
Alborn said: “Getting the
lead enabled A&M to come at us
more with their linebackers, and
that helped them do better.”
Defensive tackle Ray Chil
dress. who led the Aggies with
10 tackles, including eight un
assisted stops, said the defensive
performance should help Texas
A&M gain confidence going
into the toughest part of its sche
dule.

“It feels great to win,” he said.
“I think the defense played real
well. It should help us out in the
rest of our games. I know this
was one of the best games I’ve
ever played.”

Guaranteed Income Certificate
designed for savers who depend
on regular interest income.
Brazos Savings now offers a new 4-Year Guaranteed Income Certificate spe
cifically designed for people who rely on regular interest income.
Dependable Income In An Uncertain Economy
The recent drop in interest rates on Money Market Certificates will affect people
who depend on interest income. Living expenses don't drop just because Money
Market rates do. As rates fall, some people will draw down savings just to meet
monthly expenses. A Guaranteed Income Certificate locks in high rates and
protects you against Money Market rate declines.
Extra Convenience
With a 4-year certificate you won't have to check out rates and terms every few
months and make an investment decision. Earnings are transferred each month
to your MoneyStore interest bearing checking account. Or we will send you a
check each quarter.
Insured Safety
Deposits are insured up to $100,000 by an agency of the federal government.
The minimum deposit is only $1,000 and regulations impose a severe interest
penalty for early withdrawal.
Rates for new Guaranteed Income Certificates are subject to change at any
time. Come in soop to take advantage of today's rate. For more information, call
or visit any of our offices in Central Texas. Or call us and we'll come to you.
