Lopez Sports Editor The Texas A&M football team couldn’t have asked for much more from its final full- contact scrimmage of the pre season Friday night. Not only did the Aggies walk off Kyle Field injury-free after the hour and a half scrimmage, but the Aggie backfield proved that by mid-season, Texas A&M fans could very well forget what played last year. Behind a strong performance by the offensive line, quarter back John Mazur connected on 11 of 20 passes and tailbacks Joey Harris and Keith Woodside slipped their way through the second-team defense with appa rent ease. The Aggie first-team offense picked up 20 first downs and scored five touchdowns during the scrimmage. positions Gary Kubiak, Earnest Jackson and Johnny Hector Harris and Woodside col lected the most oohhs and aahhs from a small crowd of invited Aggie fans as the two running backs showed similar jittery moves on their way to a highly productive night. Harris scored four touch downs en route to his 63 yards on 12 carries and Woodside gained 39 yards and a touch down. Woodside, a freshman, also raised a few eyebrows with a spectacular 39-yard punt re turn. Woodside pulled in Craig Stump’s punt, took a few steps to the right and then exploded back to the left and down the sideline before Stump Finally pushed the Louisiana native down. Backup quarterback Kevin Murray also put on a good show as he hit on four of eight passes including a 75-yard toss to world-class sprinter Rod Richardson. Defensively, the Aggies looked strong as well. Senior Bil ly Cannon seemed to fit right in at his new linebacking position and the Texas A&M secondary looked much quicker than the inconsistent secondary of last year. One reason for the im proved quickness was freshman Jeff Holley. Holley was in on several plays for the second-team defen eluding an interception that might help him logalotof] ing time for Texas AB! year.

Winning Cowboys concerned, Oilers optimistic about season United Press International DALLAS — It happens from time to time that the winners of a football game grumble about how things are going and the losers emerge optimistic about how things are progressing. That is the case more often during the exhibition season than it is during the regular campaign and that was the way of tnings Saturday night when the Dallas Cowboys and Hous ton Oilers completed their tuneups for the 1983 race. Dallas was the winner, 34-31, in a game that saw the lead change hands four times in the fourth quarter. But in this case the losers sounded more excited than the winners. “We’re ready for Green Bay,” said Houston quarterback Archie Manning. “We haven’t won in preseason (in fact the Oil ers haven’t won a game of any kind since last Sept. 19), but we’ve been in the last three Our ShortsTrade-in STARSHIP' bring in your tired old shorts for up to ?5 q9 credit toward any new short instock..

The Cowboys, meanw'hile, will go to Washington next Mon day night with concerns about their defense, which has not stopped many people during a 3-1 exhibition campaign. “We are making far too many mistakes and it is costing us,” said Dallas coach Tom Landry. “When you make the mistakes we have made you are gou be in trouble. “We’re not plugging I holes.” Dallas gave up a 43 touchdown run to Cam| who broke through the«o he tackles of linebacker Hegman and Everson halfway along the trip.
