And the Cards are now within one
game of winning their second World
Series championship in four years.
Set against the backdrop of Tu-
jr's dominating five-hitter, St.
ouis’ offense awoke in a startling
nanner with solo home runs from
[ito Landrum and Willie McGee,
jeating the Kansas City Royals 3-0.
The win gave the Cardinals a 3-1
idvantage in the best-of-seven Series

chich only five other teams have re-
overed, the last being the 79 Pitts-
lurgh Pirates.
“All we’ve got to do now is win one
nore,” Cards Manager Whitey Her-
tgsaid.
The Cardinals, with an offense
iuilt on speed and line drives,
-ored their first two runs on the
olo homers by Landrum and Me
lee. Their third run was a more typ-
gal St. Louis effort, scoring on a
riple by Terry Pendleton and a full-
iunt suicide squeeze bunt by Tom
Nieto.

lything until the Series is over,”

Texas A&M’s No. 4 quarterback Paul Gasper (above) — “It’s hard
(being A&M’s No. 4 QB), but you have to find some way to get
through it. I thought my chances (of playing at A&M) were fairly
good. Coming out of high school, you Ve got a lot ol confidence.
By DOUG HALL

Paul Gasper would rather be
known by Texas A&M football
fans for his Saturday afternoon
heroics.
Instead, Gasper is known,
mainly by his teammates and
coaches, as the Aggies' fourth-
string quarterback. j
Gasper’s duty, in addition to
backmg-up A&M QBs Kevin
Murray, Craig Stun/p and Mark
Motley, is to help A&M’s defense
prepare for its next opponent by
directing the scout team offense.
At a time when college football
is becoming better known for
scandals involving free ears and
cash, it’s refreshing to find some
one who still plays the game for
fun. f 1 f- <
“I’m in charge of running the
scout team,” said Gasper, a : red
shirt sophomore. “It's hard (be
ing A&M’s No. 4 QB), but you
have to find some way to get
through it. I enjoy it. Football is
just something I do after school.’’
Gasper, a standout at Lamar
High School in Houston, was a
part of A&M’s strong recruiting
season in 1983 that included fel
low bluechip quarterbacks
Stump, from Jefferson High in
Port Arthur, and Jay Hess, from
Eastland High.
“I thought my chances (of play
ing at A&M) were fairly good,”
Gasper said. “Coming out of high
school, you’ve got a lot of confi
dence. I knew coming in that
Stump and Hess were going to he
my main competition. I didn’t
even know about Kevin Murray. 1
thought my chances were as good
as anyone else’s.”
Even though Murray estab
lished himself as A&M’s starter in
the latter half of the ’83 season,
Gasper’s chances of playing still
improved when Hess transferred
to Iowa.
But that was before A&M re
cruited Motley out of Ore City
High in ’84, and before Stump
came on to lead the Aggies to
consecutive victories over TCU
and Texas.
“They (the A&M coaching
staff) said that Motley beat me out
for third string,” Gasper said, “I
just don’t know. But, like you say,
they’re the coaches and I’m the
player.
“But it (having several good
quarterbacks) provides more
competition. They’re gonna re
cruit like dial every year. Coming
up this year, they’ll probably
bring in another quarterback.”
Gasper said even though
things at A&M haven't worked
out like he'd hoped, he has noth
ing but respect for his fellow
quarterbacks.
“Craig (Stump) and Kevin
(Murray) have proven themselves
in game situations,” he said.
“They’re getting the job done
and, as long as that’s happening,
I’m not going to be complaining.
“If we were losing, I'd want
more of a shot at it (starting). But
as long as we’re winning, then it’s
fine. I’m excited about this sea
son. I think the whole school is.
“Besides, I’d wanted to go to
A&M since I was a little kid. It
was kind of a dream come true. I
was real close to going to Rice, but
1 wanted to go to a winning pro
gram.”
Gasper said if he had to do it all
over again, he’d make the same
choice “without any hesitation.”
“I don’t regret coming here (to
A&M) at all,” he said. “I’m here
for my education first and foot
ball second. I’m not going to play
football all my life.”
Gasper said he gets a lot of
inspiration from remembering a
speech by former Texas quar
terback Ron Brewer during Gas
per’s senior year in high school.
Brewer, who was also dubbed a
fourth-stringer during his senior
year, said in that speech he knew
somehow he’d finally get a chance
to play. And, sure enough, when
the Longhorns’ top three signal
callers went down with injuries,
Brewer came on to lead the team
to an ’82 Cotton Bowl win over
A&M QB Paul Gasper
Alabama.
“That’s always given me a lot of
inspiration,” Gasper said. “Be
