Dana Moore of Mississippi State completed the East’s scor ing with an opening-period 30- yard field goal. Marino was voted outstand ing offensive player of the game despite a stellar performance by Texas A&M quarterback Gary Kubiak. Kubiak, who was second team all-Southwest Con ference and who wasn’t even the West’s starting quarterback, completed 14 of 20 passes for one touchdown and 181 yards. Marino, the No. 1 pick in the USFL’s draft, completed 12 of 22 for 156 yards. Kubiak was not selected in the draft. However, this performance — along with his performance in the Blue- Gray game — may have helped his chances of being an NFL draft choice considerably. Three of the East’s scores fol lowed fumble recoveries. The West’s points came on a 2-yard run by Jessie Clark of Arkansas and a 12-yard pass from Kubiak to SMU’s Eric Dickerson in the closing seconds of the game. Chris Faulkner caught 5 pas ses for 64 yards and Gault four for 85 yards. Dickerson, who finished third in the Heisman trophy balloting, was the West’s leading rusher with 28 yards on 10 carries. The game was nationally tele vised on NBC, and a crowd of 39,456 watched the game in per son. The Hula Bowl and the East-West Shrine game, also played Saturday, closed out the 1982-83 college football season. i i e CowbovM hat is seen » only losrfl Dall.i' ;ont j nue( j f rorn p aE r e 13) imesinHiB ° the RuBcted his fifth foul, win over\ Shakir sank both free throws the hotl'Cp the Aggies’ lead to 66-57. ‘We wan![With Gilbert, Riley and IS '• cFenry on the bench, the Bies lost most of their re- (V-Packer miiding strength, and the esofbi/aniea 1 s made the most of it. ade it looUylor hit two jump shots to atch.

Naulls, who led the Aggies with 17 points and five assists, hinted that the Bears’ comeback was perhaps as much the Aggies’ fault as it was Baylor’s. “Sometimes,” Naulls said, “when you get ahead, you play not to lose instead of trying to win. I think that’s what hap pened tonight, because we hesi tated on several shots we should have taken. “We made some mistakes — I made some mistakes — but ev erybody kept their heads up.” The Bears did a good defen sive job on Riley, holding him to just eight points and eight re bounds. In doing so, however, they allowed someone else to take up the slack. “I call it ‘pass to the jersey’,” Riley said. “Just pass to the open man. If somebody scores 40 points and everybody else scores two and you lose, you lose. It’s still which team scores the most points at the end of the game. And that’s all that counts.” Still, Riley is having trouble getting the ball. “A lot of defenses are concen trating on me,” Riley said. “You know, always denying me the ball. But tonight I got some help from my teammates. 1 got some picks and stuff that helped me get a few jump shots off.” Aggie Coach Shelby Metcalf said it best. “If Claude draws a crowd,” Metcalf said, “then somebody’s got to be open.” Metcalf said he was most pleased with the Aggies’ de fense, but he added: “I was least pleased with our rebounding in the last five minutes. But with our rebounders sitting over with me ...” Metcalf was referring to the fact that Gilbert, McHenry and Riley had all fouled out. Riley said the Aggies’ 66-64 loss to Arkansas helped prepare them to meet Baylor. “We went over some things (after the loss),” Riley said. “But the main thing was we were con stantly alert when they would press us. We were prepared when they began to press, and we stayed alert, so the press wouldn’t affect us. “That’s the mark of a good ballclub. We saw our mistakes and corected them.” And suprised 9,850 people. Not to mention Eddie Sutton.

Arkansas, as is its habit, has coasted along on an even course although a soft in tersectional schedule left some wondering about the Razor- backs true worth. Arkansas, however, rolled through Texas for the first time last week and survived with two tough wins over Texas A&M and SMU. And the Razorbacks should face a good pre-Houston test Wednesday night when they host TCU (3-1 in league play and 12-3 overall. Other than the critical match up at the top of the SWC stand ings, this will be a key week for two members of the confer ence’s middle group of teams. SMU and Baylor, both of which hope to make enough rip ples during the conference sea son to catch the eye of a post season tournament, meet each other in Dallas Tuesday night and then on Saturday evening Baylor faces TCU in Fort Worth and SMU takes on Texas A&M in College Station.
