The play at the center position for the Aggies has not only been incon sistent, it’s been nearly nonexistent. Jessie Spinner, the 6-10 junior col lege transfer from Los Angeles, hasn’t provided the needed strength at the spot yet. Spinner only scored nine points and pulled down four rebounds in the last two games. Seven-footer Eric Bethea hasn’t even seen action in the last two contests. Todd Holloway The lack of consistency could pose problems if it continues against Texas Southern tonight. Although TSU doesn’t look like much of a threat with its 1-5 record, assistant coach Jim Feeney warned that the team is probably better than its re cord indicates. “Overall, they’re a very streaky team,” Feeney said. “They can be down by 20 points and then five minutes later be right back in the game. They shoot the ball with no conscience at all.” Feeney scouted TSU in prepara tion for tonight’s meeting and said the game should be exciting to watch because both sides will use a full- dourt press and there should be a lot of movement up and down the court. The players A&M will have to watch for are point guard Robert Gatlin, forward Gary Robinson, cen ter Melvin Stewart and forward Eric West. Gatlin is TSU’s outside specialist, making 15 of 30 attempts this season from three-point range. Robinson and Stewart provide experience as the two seniors on the team. “Robinson has a really nice touch on short jump shots,” Feeney said, “and Stewart is a big (6-8), physical center. He’s the anchor of their de fense (averaging nine rebounds a game).” A&M also will need to contain West, the team’s leading scorer with a 17.2 average.

Call for an appointment 822-5051 2600 Finfeather LUBBOCK (AP) — Five Texas Tech assistant football coaches who are following Head Coach David McWilliams to Texas will stay at Tech through the Independence Bowl, Tech Athletic Director T. Jones said Tuesday. McWilliams, who accepted the Texas job last week after one year at Tech, had planned to coach the Red Raiders in the Dec. 20 bowl game against Mississippi, but Jones said that would not be proper. “He’s headed to Austin today. All of his efforts will be for the univer sity there,” Jones said of his decision against allowing McWilliams to coach in the Independence Bowl. New Tech Coach Spike Dykes, who was promoted Saturday from defensive coordinator, will be in charge of the Red Raiders against Mississippi. Jones said the five assistants who are heading for Texas can coach Tech in the bowl game because their responsibilities with the Longhorns are not as broad as McWilliams’. The five Tech assistants who are going to Texas are Johnny Mize, of fensive coordinator; Steve Brickey, quarterback coach; Clovis Hale, line coach; Clarence James, wide re ceiver coach; and Jack Kiser, tight end coach. Jones said he was not surprised by the assistants’ decisions. “I think this is something that is a normal procedure in coaching changes,” he said. “We would have liked to have had our people stay.” Jones, who was upset that Texas recruited McWilliams, expressed re lief that the McWilliams episode had ended. “It was a very difficult thing for all of us to go through. I have worlds of respect for David. I hated to see him leave,” Jones said. “I’mjust ready for us to get back on what I call a normal day’s activity.” McWilliams, a former Texas player, was a longtime assistant coach for the Longhorns before moving to Tech this season. He had four years remaining on his Tech contract when he left. Jones, a former associate athletic director at Texas, said McWilliams’ departure has placed some heat on him from Red Raider backers. “I’d be foolish to say I wasn’t suf fering some of the backlash of all this,” Jones said. “It’s not unex pected. They’re hurt,” he said of Tech supporters. “They hated to lose their coach.” INCREDIBLE FULLY IBM-PC/COMPATIBLE $649, FULLY IBM-AT COMPATIBLE $1649. • 2-360KB FLOPPY DRIVES • 8MHZ/4.77MHZ TURBO • 640KB RAM MEMORY • COLOR GRAPHICS • AMBER MONITOR • XT-STYLE KEYBOARD • PHOENIX BIOS • CHOICE OF 3 PROGRAMS (Example) PC-WRITE word processor with spelling checker PC-CALC spreadsheet similar to 1-2-3 PC-FILE data base management e 1 YEAR WARRANTY ON PARTS & LABOR 1.2 MB FLOPPY 360 KB FLOPPY 8 MHZ/6 MHZ(10 MHZ: ADD$100) 20 MB HARD DRIVE 1 MB RAM MEMORY RESET BUTTON COLOR GRAPHICS AMBER MONITOR AT-STYLE KEYBOARD PHOENIX BIOS .

Flutie’s performance Sunday, in which he had a hand in three touch downs, has triggered a buying frenzy. “After Sunday’s game, it seemed like everyone who walked into the store wanted a Flutie jersey or some thing related to Flutie,” said Dawn K. Cottini, retail buyer of Bears’ par aphernalia for Morrie Mages Sports store in Chicago. Perry, the beefy defensive line man who weighs at least 325 pounds, was a sports-marketing phenome non last year. But he is playing less offense this year and his popularity has cooled. “I think if (Flutie) continues to play well and they give him more time, I think you’ll see it snowball,” said Robert Tangen, regional man ager for Merle Harmon’s Fan Fair, an Illinois chain of sports parapher nalia stores. “A lot of women want Flutie jer seys because he’s cute,” Cottini said. “He’s a very likeable player. He’s cute and he’s a good football player. There’s also the controversy over his size.” Flutie suggests his relatively small stature, — 5-foot-9 — may help his appeal with some fans. ‘The average fan can identify with me and say to himself, ‘If he can make it, maybe I can make it, too,’ ” the 1984 Heisman Trophy winner said Monday. The former Boston College star caused a stir in Chicago when he was signed Oct. 21 by the Bears after his U. S. Football League suspended op erations. Critics said Flutie was too small to play in the pros, although he passed for 10,579 yards from 1981-84 to be come one of the top five career pass ers in college history.

Starter Jim McMahon said he didn’t think they needed a fourth. On Sunday, with McMahon out for the season with a shoulder in jury, Flutie threw for his first NFL touchdown pass. Replacing starter Mike Tomczak for nearly two quar ters, Flutie ran for a second touch down and handed off for a third in the Bears’48-14 thrashing of Tampa Bay. On Monday and Tuesday, fans swamped many Chicago area stores looking for No. 2 jerseys, managers said. Morrie Mages sold nearly 100 jer seys in two days at about $80 each, Cottini said. Flutie paraphernalia has been popular since he joined the Bears, she said, noting the store has sold about 500 No. 2 jerseys since late Oc tober. “As soon as he was signed, we had a flood of requests for Flutie jerseys from all over the country,” she said.
