The hardest thing about break
ing into professional
music is —well, break
ing into professional
music. So if you’re
looking tor an oppor
tunity to turn your
musical talent into
a full-time perform
ing career, take t
good look at the
Army.
It’s not
all parades
and John Philip
Sousa. Army
bands rock,
waltz and boogie
as well as march,
and they perform
before concert au
diences as well
as spectators.
With
an average
of 40 performances a month, there’s
also the opportunity for travel —
not only across America, but possibly
abroad.
Most important, you can
expect a first-rate pro
fessional environment
from your instructors,
facilities and fellow
musicians. The Army
has educational
programs that
can help you
pay for off-
duty instruc
tion, and if
you qual
ify even
read music, performing in the Anny
?alc.
could be your big break. Write:

settled down, the team stopped LSU
effecdvely, particularly in the second
half . Tiger tailback Harvey Williams
ran circles around A&M in the first
half, gaining 60 of his 70 yards, but
the defense clamped down on him in
the second half.
“Harvey Williams is just another
athlete,” A&M noseguard Sammy
O’Brient said. “He nasn’t proved
himself to me. I’m very proud of us
defensively. We’re going to have a
great team both offensively and de
fensively.
“We knew they were going to run
the ball quite a bit, what with what’s-
his-name, number 22 (Williams),
saying he was going to get 200
yards.”
The Aj^gie defense also was very
effective in getting to LSU quar
terback Tom Hodson. He was
sacked three times and was pres
sured all day. However, on third and
nine at the LSU 28, he somehow es
caped a sure sack that instead re
sulted in a freak 25-yard pass com
pletion to Williams which kept the
drive alive. It was the key play that
led to the Tigers’ first touchdown
and perhaps the most important
play of the game.
Senior defensive bad
Brooks led the way with 13
for A&M, including eighttli;
unassisted. Junior linebadt
Jackson followed with 12iaci
senior defensive back Kip

SWC takes thrashin
in opening weeken
From The Associated Press
The Southwest Conference’s foot
ball weekend included merciless
beadngs by three of The Associated
Press’ Top Ten teams and a sour
start by what is supposed to be Jim
Wacker’s best team yet at Texas
Christian.
Only Rice and Baylor managed to
salvage any semblance of pride for
the SWC with narrow victories
against Lamar University and Loui
siana Tech, respectively.
Rice nipped Lamar 34-30 on quar
terback Quentis Roper’s touchdown
with 15 seconds left and Baylor beat
Louisiana Tech 13-3 behind backup
quarterback Brad Goebel.
“Let’s hear it for numbers seven
and eight,” said Baylor Coach Grant
Teaff, referring to where the Bears
and Owls were picked in SWC pie-
season polls.
Goebel ably replaced starter F.d
Lovell, who suffered a knee injury
and could be lost for up to three
weeks.
Texas, Texas A&M, and Texas
Tech were blown away.
Fifth-ranked Auburn mauled
Texas 31-3 in Longhorn Coach Da
vid McWilliams’ debut.
It was the worst opening loss in
the school’s history, as McWilliams
became the first of Texas’ 27 head
coaches to lose his debut.
“I believe in facing facts,” McWil
liams said. “We couldn’t move the
football against them.”
Sixth-ranked Louisiana State
bounced the 15th-ranked Texas Ag
gies 17-3 and senior quarterback
Craig Stump, who served up two
damaging interceptions while re
placing the departed Kevin Murray.
“Anytime you lose a great player
like Kevin you miss him,” said Aggie
Coach Jackie Sherrill. “We couldn’t
do anything offensively. And that
has to change. We got a err.'

St
Africans pace efforts
track championships
ROME (AP) — World record-
holder Said Aouita of Morocco won
the 5,000 meters and completed an
African sweep of distance races in
the windup of the record-setting
World Track and Field Champion
ships Sunday.
Only six of the meet records set in
the first world championships four
years ago remained when the eight-
day competition ended with
speeches, Italian pagentry and fire
works on a mild Roman evening.
Carl Lewis, Butch Reynolds and
Florence Griffith helped the United
States team salvage some glory from
a generally mediocre meet perfor
mance. The Americans won three of
the four relays — the men’s and
women’s 400 meters, and the men’s
1,600 meters.
East Germany topped the medal
count, shattering the figures set by
the United States in Helsinki. The
Americans were second in gold med
als and third overall.
Aouita, slowed by a recent tendon
injury that made his participation in
the meet doubtful and a spike
wound suffered during the semifi
nals, had enough strength to capture
the 5,000 in 13 minutes, 26.46 sec
onds.
It was his 38th straight victory
over the last two years at distances
from 800 meters to 10,000 meters.
Abdi Bile gave Somalia its first
gold medal in an Olympic Games or
world championship, capturing the
1,500 meters in 3:36.80 and soundly
thrashing world mile record-holder
Steve Cram of Britain.
Douglas Wakihuru, a Kenyan liv
ing in Japan, won the marathon in
only his third attempt at the distance
of over 26 miles with a time of
2:11:48.
Lewis, a gold medalist in the long
jump and silver medalist in the 100
meters, anchored the U.S. men’s 400
relay team to victory in 37.90, the
third-fastest in history.
Griffith keyed the women:
meter relay triumph with a-
third leg, as the U.S. wast
41.58, the fourth-best ever 1
championship record.
Reynolds, the men’s #
bronze medalist, ran a solicit
leg, helping the U.S. win tl)f

championship record and / ✓ > _ ,
