Knter Avezzano’s revamped Aggie offensive line, featuring two returning starters, Doug Wil liams and Randy Dausin, and three newcomers. It’s those five guys who'll have the chore of keeping Tide All- American linebacker Cornelius Bennett from giving A&M no c/jo/ceof quarterbacks next week end. In Alabama’s season-opening 20-16 win over Georgia, Bennett looked like a clone of the New York Giants’ Lawrence Taylor. Only nine of Georgia’s 16 points against Alabama were scored by the offense. “There’s few teams that can match up physically with Ben nett,” Ave/zano said. “He’s going / of theI4 )oard if th ird fails It portionmer, provide fw ial distritt! in coantia uch distrin ;he voters it amendment re than ore fistrict Th me supreme >urts of ap I amendment jurisdictiot district ani : provided by ould providr astice court! -nal jurisdic- The amend- or rules 0! l and cM gated by th( ould providt lay delegate power to tki :he Court ol amendment :s and judges of its adop- ; until other- ient will ap- dlows: amendmen! iportionment icts of tV al District; rjslative Re id providing n and juris- ial courts."

CASPER control the (Alabama) line. We need a game like Alabama to see exactly where we're at. ” to make a lot of things happen.” Freshman guard Trace Mc Guire hopes those “things” don’t happen in the A&M backfield Saturday. “Bennett is real quick,” said McGuire, referring to the line backer’s 4.6 speed in the 40-yard dash. “We’re going to have to concentrate on dropping out of there quick on passing plays to pick him up.” McGuire said the Aggies’ line has set three goals for the ’Bama game — no quarterback sacks, no turnovers and allow the rushing game to average four yards a carry. “If we can do 'all that,” Mc Guire said smiling, “the people in Aggieland will be celebrating Sat- uraay night. They (Alabama) are not going to be as shaky as us. They’ve already gotten the first game jitters out of the way. “But if we (the offensive line men) do make a mistake, we should be able to overcome' it. Our defense will work for us.” Sophomore center Matt Wilson said the Aggies will subscribe to a kind of Vince Lombardi school of thought to control the line of scrimmage. “We’re going to intimidate them,” Wilson said. “We’re bigger and stronger than they are. We should dominate the line. “T his game means a lot to us. We’re going to be on national television (ESPN will telecast the game at 6:45 p.m.) and, if we win, we get ranked.” Wilson said the television cov erage and the chance of a na tional ranking weren’t the only motivation for the Aggies. “ They wrote us a nice little let ter, telling us how much they were looking forward to playing us in their own back yard,” he said. "I think they may be getting a little cocky.” Avezzano said his players have the potential to be a good offen sive line, but “only time will tell” how well they produce. “From last spring to this point,” Avezzano said, “the physi cal aspect has really improved. Mentally, they’ve got a lot of char acter. “We need a game like Alabama to see exactly where we’re at.” TT^* tree* Get our new $49* software module when you buy an HP-41.

Pokes prove to err is 'Skins, to win is divine Associated Press IRVING — Dallas’ determined defense intercepted Joe Theisrnann five times Monday night and Cowboy quarterback Danny White and placekicker Rafael Septien made Washington pay for its mistakes with a 44-14 National Football League victory over the Redskins. White, wearing a flak jacket for the first time in his career, directed a 98- yard scoring drive and combined on a 55-yard scoring strike with Mike Renfro, while Septien kicked field goals of 53, 39, and 43 yards. Cornerback Victor Scott completed the humiliation of Theisrnann on his 36th birthday by plucking off a pass and returning it 26 yards for a touchdown to build Dallas’ lead to 30 points midway of the fourth quarter. Washington reserve quarterback Jay Schroeder didn’t fare any better than Theisrnann, serving up a 21-yard touchdown interception return to Dennis Thurman with 2:50 left in the game. The Cowboys’ victory over their hated National Football Conference Eastern Division rival snapped a three-game losing streak to the Redskins. Mike Downs, Everson Walls, Ron Fellows and Bill Bates also intercepted Theisrnann while Dextor Clinkscale recovered a fumble coughed up by Washington running back George Rogers. Dallas converted Washington errors into 27 points. The Cowboys put Washington away with a 13-point third quarter on two Septien field goals and a nine-yard touchdown run by Tony Dorsett fol lowing Fellows’ interception and 29-yard return. The beseiged Theisrnann connected on a 19-yard touchdown pass to tight end Clint Didier late in the fourth quarter. It was the worst defeat inflicted on Washington since Pittsburgh downed the Skins 38-7 in 1979. It was Dallas’ biggest victory in the 51-game series with the Redskins since a 34-0 victory in 1970. White, recently named team captain, wore the flak jacket to protect ribs injured in the preseason. WTiite, wno hadn’t played a game in three weeks, completed 13 of 32 passes for 208 yards and no interceptions. Theismann, meanwhile, completed 15 of 35 passes for 206 yards. Dallas built a 10-0 lead on Septien’s 53-yard field goal, matching the longest of his career, and Timmy Newsome’s one-yard scoring run that capped an 18-play, 98-yard drive. There was a controversial call just before Newsome’s, touchdown plunge. He caught a 16-yard pass from White but fumbled at the one. The Redskins recovered but the officials ruled Newsome was down, although in stant replays left some question. The Redskins responded to Dallas’ first touchdown by going 77 yards in 10 plays with John Riggins bulling across from a yard out. Dallas got (he ball with 1:38 to play in the half and scored again on two plays fora 17-7 lead. After a White pass to Renfro gained six yards, Renfro hoodwinked Washington rookie Barry Wilburn into biting on a fake sideline route. The slow-footed Cowboy wide receiver instead ran a deep post route, caught the ball on the Skin 20 and plodded untouched into the end zone. *WE’VE MOVED!* Our Shiloh Place store has moved!
