Texas A&M coach Jackie Sherrill
is not looking forward to having a
Ball on the field in Texas Stadium
Saturday.
Southern Methodist University’s
Jerry Ball, that is.
Sherrill said at his press confer
ence Tuesday that the defensive
right tackle, who has been almost im
possible for past A&M offensive
lines to block, once again could pose
many problems for the Aggies.
“(In last year’s game) I guess in
the first three plays, he caused two
fumbles,” Sherrill said. “We didn’t
block Jerry last year.”
A&M left guard Trace McGuire
will draw the task of blocking the
278-pound All-America candidate.
“That is a mismatch,” Sherrill
said.
He also said the inconsistent play
of A&M’s offensive line this season
can be traced to a lack of continuous
good health for the linemen.
“We’ve never had the five (line
men) together there healthy,” Sher
rill said. “We’re not, as a group, as
good up front simply because of the
(missed) practice time.”
He said all five starting offensive
linemen — left tackle Louis Cheek,
right guard Jerry Fontenot, center
Matt Wilson, right tackle Marshall
Land and McGuire — will play Sat
urday, although Wilson and Land
still are nursing injuries.
Sherrill said the Aggies may gain
an advantage if the Mustangs blitz a
lot, which would force their de
fensive backs into a man-to-man sit
uation with A&M receivers.
“They’re not very good man (cov
erage) players,” he said.
And with quarterback Kevin Mur
ray in the pocket, Sherrill said, that
just makes a defensive team more
vulnerable to the blitz.
“There’s no question that he’s
(Murray) not an easy quarterback to
blitz because he’s not going to get
frustrated and flushed out of the
pocket,” Sherrill said.
Aggie Notes . . . SMU has beaten
A&M five out of the last six times the
teams have met, including the only
three meetings at Texas Stadium.
The last three games have been de
cided by a total of 13 points.

Aggie basketball player
injures hand
By Ken Sury
Sports Editor
Texas A&M basketball player
Winston Crite will be out of action
for about a month after breaking a
bone in his left hand Friday during
practice.
Crite, a three-year starter for the
Aggies, fractured the bone which ex
tends from the index finger, basket
ball trainer Mike Ricke said. Crite’s
hand is in a cast and he is expected
to miss three to four weeks of prac
tice due to the injury.
This is fourth time in his A&M ca
reer that the 6-7 forward from
Bakersfield, Calif., has been injured
early in the season. As a junior last
year he suffered an ankle injury. He
broke his nose his sophomore year
and bruised his thigh as a freshman.
“Winston had his annual injury,”
A&M Coach Shelby Metcalf said.
“I’m just glad it came early in the
year and it doesn’t appear he’ll miss
any games.
“The one thing I dread us fight
ing to keep him off the floor. He’s so
big and strong he’ll want to get back
on the floor.”
It was a subdued Crite who
watched from the bench during
practice Tuesday.
“I don’t know why this happens,”
Crite said. “I lifted weights over the
summer, ran and got my ankles
strong. You try to everything you
can to get ready for the season, but I
can’t seem to make it through Octo
ber without getting injured.”
Crite, a second-team All-South
west Conference player last season,
said it was frustrating not being able
to practice with the rest of the team.
“It’s real tough for me,” he said,
“because I love the sport. I love play
ing basketball. I’m so much better
than last year, so it’s really frustrat
ing. I just have to understand that
these things happen.”
Last year Crite led the Aggies with
an average of eight rebounds a game
Aggies. His 13.3 points-per-game
average was second on the team be
hind SWC scoring leader Don Mar-
bury.
