-x y.LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — As if
)|e Arkansas Razorbacks
^ A J»uldn’t have enough to con-
id with this weekend while
deadl iting Texas A&M, Razorback
: W ach Lou Holtz said Wednes-
andr.ty his football team had
ttr dcsother opponent to battle —
■ttioy » flu.
ai > Arkansas’ top two quarter-
n thralks, Brad Taylor and Scott
s bla ed, both were felled by the
us early this week. Holtz told
( kansas media Wednesday
i msai irning from Fayetteville that
j t j ai) rd-teamer Mark Calcagni was
at jjj. ely t° start against the Aggies,
f [ eKt “If Brad and Scott can’t prac-
nw j(| ( e today,” Holtz said, “Mark
is Jcagni will start.”
Calcagni is the younger
other of Arkansas’ former all-
isnot; uthwest Conference quarter-
ah t, ck, Ron Calcagni.
sicker Holtz said he and his staff had
fficij] icussed temporarily discard-
Qrtj } their rule requiring a player
: h nil practice Wednesday or not
a enoi iTt, but said, “It wouldn’t be in
e best interest for us to do
it.”
Despite the virus problems
J |d lingering injuries to offen-
'e regulars Orson Weems,
L nth Kidd and Bobby Joe
• Imonds, Holtz said not all was
J Yak in Fayetteville this week.
“Our practices have been as
od as we’ve had under the cir-
thrw instances,” Holtz said. “The
d. lyers are playing well — the
es that are out there. There’s a
lifthfr of things going right.”
Hogs’ Mark Calcagni may
start against Ags Saturday
Holtz said even if the ailing
players can return for Saturday
afternoon’s game at Kyle Field,
the lack of practice time would
change the Hogs’ game plan.
“We’ll have to be simple in
what we do,” Holtz said.
Aggie coach Jackie Sherrill,
who is faced with trying to break
Arkansas’ six-game winning
streak in the series, said his de
fense has played well despite a
lack of individual standouts.
“We don’t have any dominat
ing players on our defensive
team,” Sherrill said. “They’ve
chased the ball very well and
they’ve hit people.”
Sherrill said part of the defen
sive success is due to better
offensive play.
“The secret to keeping people
out of the end zone is not turn
ing the ball over on your end of
the field and not giving up the
big play,” Sherrill said. “We did
that last year. We’re not as reck
less offensively as we were last
year.”
Holtz noted that the Aggie
defenders held Baylor to 247
total yards in a 13-13 tie earlier
in the year. The Bears rolled up
543 yards a week ago in a 24-21
win against the Razorbacks, the
most ever given up by a Holtz-
coached Arkansas team.
“They’ve allowed 36 points in
five conference games,’ Holtz
said. “They’re a really outstand
ing defensive team. They’re
talented, they’re well-coached,
they fly to the ball.”
Sherrill faced Holtz’ situation
a year ago, when John Elkins
had to fill in for the injured Gary
Kubiak at quarterback against
the Razorbacks. A 35-0 Arkan
sas rout ensued.
“You’ve got to line up and
play with what you’ve got,” Sher
rill said. “Obviously our quarter
back did not have a good night
last year, but Arkansas had
something to do with that.”
Sherrill attributed Baylor’s
offensive success last week to
passing proficiency against the
,eight-man line used by tKe
Razorbacks, and the talent of in
dividual performers like receiv
ers Gerald McNeil and Bruce
Davis and tailback Alfred
Anderson.

Lately the Texas A&M vol
leyball team has been con
fronting Southwest Confer
ence foes in a fashion much
akin to lighting a cigarette
with a flamethrower — the
word is “overpowering.”
The Aggies were no excep
tion Wednesday night as they
carved another notch in the
win column beating the Hous
ton Cougars on their own
court in three games — 15-10,
15-5 and 15-13.
“Our players were pretty
awesome,” Aggie coach Terry
Condon said after the match.
“We played one of the best
games we’ve played all season.
Houston really couldn’t do
much of anything out there
tonight.”
The Cougars enjoyed li
mited success in the first
game, briefly edging out in
front only to lose their grip on
the lead by the end of the
game.
In game two the Coogs nev
er had a chance against an im
penetrable defensive wall and
Aggie senior Cathy Frederick,
who served nine straight
points.
The last game was what
Condon described as “neck
and neck” before the Aggies
finally took the lead for good.
Top hitters for the game
were Chemine Doty, who hit
.692, and Sherri Brinkman,
who averaged .667.
“Sherri had some good hits
in the middle tonight,” Con
don said. “It really psychs out
the other team when you have
a hitter who can do that.”
“We played our own style of
game tonight and that’s what
we needed to do,” Condon
said about the last road game.
“They had to do what we did
— play our game.
“They seem to do better on
the road. They concentrate
better and pull together as a
team. They just do a better
job.”
The Aggies only have one
team left to psych out. They
face the Texas Longhorns in
the last conference match of
the season — a match that
could decide who goes to the
playoffs and who stays home.
As it stands right now, the
Aggies are in second place be
hind the Longhorns. If they
beat the ’Horns, the two teams
will split the conference cham
pionship, and a playoff match
will determine who goes to the
NCAA Tournament. If the
Aggies lose to Texas, the best
they can hope for is an “at-
large” spot.
■ By beating the Longhorns,
Texas A&M has everything to
gain and nothing to lose. Con
don is confident about her
team.
“If we play like we played
tonight, the match against
Texas will be a great one,”
Condon said. “We’re playing
so much better now than we
were earlier in the season.
They know they can win and
that’s what it takes.”
The Longhorns gave the
Aggies their only defeat this
season but Condon and her
players think the tables have
turned. The outcome can be
witnessed at 7:30 p.m.
Wednesday in C. Rollie White
Coliseum.

"ill HOUSTON — Houston Oil-
s officials said Wednesday
ey have no intention of trad-
victime running back Earl Camp-
istedill, despite his public request to
ditioay elsewhere.
irs H«“Earl remains under contract
the Oilers for the 1984 and
i, All»85 seasons and the organiza-
tediitn’s hope is that he will be a
ithaember of the Oilers even
own yond that period,” Ladd Her-
nc. g, Oiler’s general manager,
vouciid in a statement,
okesci Herzeg said he was per-
, 83 exed by Campbell’s request,
seda lich was reported Tuesday af-
[idal'r he taped an interview with
didPRC-TV for his Saturday
v atniarl Campbell Show.”
:ewlij In that interview, the six-year
rtlvi’teran Campbell said that he
stafcanted to “get a new address”
chaiiidbe traded to another team at
pci: e end of the season.
ivoiJf He claimed he was treated
wasijdly Sunday when he was re-
»(j roved from the game against
facie Cincinnati Bengals. The Oil-
dentf's continued their losing streak
tthtid were defeated 55-14.
iveetj Campbell said he would not
iritiOfat his dog the way he was tre-
nei ed. Campbell’s contract earns
flU sejim an annual $300,000 in cash
i n cld $100,000 in deferred pay-
jthsient.
Herzeg said he had wanted to
ieet “face-to-face with Earl”
Wednesday, but Campbell post-
oned the meeting.
-"fin his statement, Herzeg said
| hen he spoke last month with
’ ampbell about the team’s re-
uilding program, Campbell in-
icated “we had the team
eaded in the right direction”
ad anticipated a “relatively
ion turn around period.”
“He expressed his personal
ope that the organizatn would
eep the present group of play-
rs together as a solid founda-
on for the future. His attitude
t that time was extremely good
ad he was in very high spirits,”
lerzeg said.
“If Earl’s comments of the
ast couple of days stem from
le frustrating 1983 season and
le humilitating defeat of Sun-
ay, I can certainly appreciate it.
veryone involved in the Oiler’s
inization — down to the sec-
etaries — is embarrassed and
rustrated with the situation,”
lerzeg said.
But he said in the past two
rafts, the Oiler’s have utilitized
s first round choices in 1982
nd 1983 in selecting offensive
nemen and used its second pick
i 1983 to select another offen-
ive lineman, bypassing such
otable running backs such as
larcus Allen, Eric Dickerson
nd Curt Warner.
“Actions speak louder than
words and the organization’s ac
tions should have demonstrated
to everyone of the Oiler’s desire
to retain Earl,” he said.
Coach Chuck Studley said he
has no idea why Campbell wants
to be traded.
“I have no idea what moti
vated his feelings,” Studley said.
Herzeg said he would not dis
cuss the matter further until he
spoke personnaly with Camp
bell.
