Sherrill: Ags face physical challenge against Huskies By Tammy Hedgpeth Sports Writer After a week with no game and two weeks of practices, Texas A&M will search for the win column in its 3 p.m. game Saturday against No. 10 Washington. “I think this game coming up pre tty well talks about the strength of our schedule,” A&M Coach Jackie Sherrill said Tuesday at a press con ference in Wofford Cain Hall. “USA Today says we have the fourth toughest schedule in the country. “You always say ‘why do you open up with those people? Why don’t you stick with a team like University of Texas at El Paso?’ It’s very evident that you get to a point where you need to go with the tougher teams. Our schedule will be the same down the road. “The week off has been a plus for us because of the injuries. A lot of guys would not have played last week if we had had a game. The week off has been good to us and I hope it shows up Saturday.” A&M and Washington have met only once with A&M pulling out a 28-15 victory in Seattle on Sept. 28, 1974. Sherrill said Washington Head Coach Don James believes very strongly in a kicking game. “They not only beleive in a sound kicking game,” he added, “but also a very physical game. They will outw eigh us 50 pounds per man offen sively to defensively. Their offensive line averages 290 or so. “They average 400-some-odd yards a game offensively and they don’t allow much yardage defensi vely. Purdue had only 39 yards rush ing against them. They run a very good defense.” A&M have quickness and that’s what it will take to stop Heismen Trophy candidate Chris Chandler. “Chris Chandler is a great quar terback who can hurt you in a lot of ways,” Sherrill said. “It will be a tre mendous challenge for us to try and stop him. Chandler has a major- league arm. He is very successful at throwing the ball deep.” A hard-hitting defense will be there for Chandler. Against LSU, ju nior linebacker John Roper turned in three sacks for 25 yards in losses and added a tackle for a 15-yard loss. In all Roper had 12 tackles, 11 of which were solo. Sophomore linebacker Aaron Wallace will also challenge Chan dler. Wallace had only four tackles against LSU, but pressured Tiger quarterback Tom Hodson five times and sacked him once for an 11 -yard loss. “Roper and Wallace are gonna have to get there,” Sherrill said, “be cause no one up front will be able to muscle them. I don’t think you’ll ever stop a great quarterback. You can slow him, but you can’t stop him. “Washington and LSU deserve their rankings. If we don’t rank in the top 10, I’m not gonna jump off of Rud der Tower, but I may get pushed. “Washington may be the biggest team, physically, that we play all year ... I think it will be better for us in the long run because it will prepare our young team for the conference race.” ^Former Tech receiver finds success jxtendas DB, earns AP Player of the Week •(tracts LUBBOCK (AP) — Until last Sat- :day Lemuel Stinson was best re- RORV uiA em ^ ,ere d on the Texas Tech cam- ‘ , .

Another top defender last week was Arkansas’ Steve Atwater, who had eight tackles, returned an inter ception for a touchdown, and caused a fumble in Arkansas’ victory over Mississippi. The Red Raiders’ James Gray, a 200-pound running back from Fort Worth Trimble Tech, was the AP’s SWC Offensive Player of the Week for his career-high 150 yards rush ing and one touchdown against the Rams. “Lemuel’s taken the vaccination ; ; ;.andry: Dallas needs jatience to recover eber said. well,” Dykes said. “It’s hard to cover those guys who run nine-nothings, but Lemuel has the physical ability to do it. He’s been one of the big sur prises of our football team this year. “With three starters gone from our secondary last year, we needed some people to emerge and he really has.” Stinson said he’s still trying to learn how to act on defense. “I haven’t quite learned all the tricks that defensive backs use but I will,” he said. “I feel comfortable in predicting the routes. I was a re ceiver and that experience has helped me in predicting where they are going.” Stinson ^dded “Coach Dykes asked me if I would try it (defensive back) in the spring. He said if I didn’t like it I could go back to re ceiver. I’ve enjoyed it.” And Gray also enjoyed the most yards by a Tech running back since Robert Lewis had 167 against Ar kansas in 1984. Gray is currently second in SWC rushing at 119.5 yards per game. “James practices every day like he’s playing in the Super Bowl,” Dykes said. “He’s not going to win the Heisman Trophy but he can darn sure win a football game for you. “James isn’t going to win any track meets but he has that knack for mak ing people miss him. He lost some weight and he looks like he’s a step quicker.” Bears regain top status with win over Giants a losing jingtc fss of peaceful'icse things. IRVING (AP) — The Dallas fran- jiseis in its worst sinking spell in 24 ars and Cowboys’ Coach Tom ndry said on Tuesday that it will e patience and character to pull Vitol the nosedive. “It’s difficult to reverse a trend ethis,” Landry said. “We just have battle.

Back in the 1970s we made the plays in the last two min utes, but teams are not falling back on their heels like they did. ” Landry said teams who play well in the final two minutes “are the teams you see in the playoffs. You have to learn to do that. It’s a mental thing to a large extent. ” He said Monday night’s 34-19 vic tory by the Chicago Bears over Sun day’s opponent, the New York Gi ants, didn’t help things. “I’m sure they (the Giants) are up set,” Landry said. “The Bears can make anybody look bad.” The 3 p.m. game marks the re turn to New York of Dallas quar terback Danny White and running back-wide receiver Herschel Walker, who were injured there last year. White is still bothered by a broken wrist he suffered in the game. “Danny is throwing pretty well but it’s getting to be a mental drag on him,” Landry said. CHICAGO (AP) — The big, bad, blustering Bears are back, their game in full flower and their mouths in full gear after reclaiming their place atop the National Football League. They did it with a victory over the Super Bowl champion New York Gi ants in the opening Monday night game of the season. So, at least for the time being, the world will be spared mumbling Mark Bavaro, silent Joe Morris and family Phil Simms for the Bears, who dominated the NFL in 1985 with their mouths and their bodies the way the Giants did with only their bodies in 1986. “I think we’re still awesome,” said Dennis McKinnon, whose 94-yard touchdown return of a Sean Landeta punt put away the 34-19 Chicago victory. “No matter how much you talk, you have to do it on the field.” Before they started talking, the Bears did the job, exploiting both the Giants’ weaknesses and their strengths. With linebackers Mike Singletary and Wilber Marshall leading the way, the Bears overpowered the Gi ants’ revamped offensive line for eight sacks and went over the weak ened secondary for touchdown passes by Mike Tomczak of 56 yards to Willie Gault and 42 to rookie Ron Morris. And they ended a 12-game New York winning streak. But Chicago probably won the game by shutting down the Giants’ strength. New York, which averaged 4 l /2 sacks a game in their 17-2 season a year ago, had none and rarely got close to Tomczak, who is replacing Jim McMahon. Having accomplished that, they reclaimed the bragging rights as the NFL’s best team. They lost that when they were knocked out of the playoffs by the Washington Redskins last year, one game short of a meeting with the Giants in the NFC title game. “We just pinned their heads back,” said Otis Wilson, the rarely modest Chicago linebacker. “The best man won and it was us.” LONDON INTERNSHIPS Art/Architecture Business/Economics Engineering Human/Health Services Journalism/Communications Performing Arts Politics -599 9^ programmes include: 16 semester hour credits, 10-week internship, apartment, British faculty.
