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.

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.

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.”

Flutie may be ‘bigger’ than Perry
CHICAGO (AP) — Doug Flutie’s
No. 2 Chicago Bears’ jersey has be
come the hottest-selling item in some
stores since William “The Refrigera
tor” Perry’s No. 72 last season.
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.

already had three quarterbacks.
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.
