Three A&M touchdowns were set up either by defensive heroics or special team plays. The other Aggie score came as a result of Keith Woodside’s 77-yard run on the Aggies’ second posses sion. Considering the offensive output increased only 36 yards from the miserable 229-yard output against LSU, it would be easy to say the Ag gies are relying too heavily on the wrong side of the line to score. But a good team, one that stands the chance of returning to the Cot ton Bowl for the third straight year, is one that capitalizes on scoring chances. Following Tim Landrum’s recov ery of a Washington fumble on their own 7 yard line, Aggie quarterback Lance Pavlas was able to drill fresh man Percy Waddle for an impressive touchdown catch. That made the score 14-6 A&M. The Aggies’ next touchdown, which put the Aggies in front 21-12, came on a partially blocked punt that was recovered by Lafayette Turner. Again in the fourth quarter, A&M was able to capitalize on a Chris Chandler fumble, forced by line backer Dana Batiste, to drive 12 yards in four plays for the final score. Washington, on the other hand, was never able to turn the tide. In the third quarter, with the score only 14-9, Washington blocked a Sean Wilson punt and recovered on the Aggie 15-yard line. The Huskies then had a chance to take their only lead of the game, but were forced to kick a Brandy Brown lee field goal. Instead of going up 16-14, the score was 14-12 and the momentum swung back to A&M. Speaking of the kicking game, A&M’s surefooted Scott Slater, picked to be an All-SWC performer, missed two chances for field goals. One of those, however, was a 49- yard attempt that went wide right af ter what looked like a low snap. The other attempt was a 32-yarder that also went right. In comparison to punter Sean Wilson though, Slater’s day was all sunshine. The redshirt freshman from Hunstville, who was twice a Class 4A all-state selection, kicked five times for the grand total of 168 yards, a 33.6-yard average. Senior quarterback Craig Stump, who owned the punting job for much of the past three years, also kicked three times for a 42-yard av erage. Against LSU though, Wilson kicked six times for a 37.3-yard aver age.

Dodgen Loop, Suite 207 Temple, Texas 76504 “None of us wants this, not the players, not the fans, not the owners, and that’s really, really sad.” The owners vowed to continue the season Oct. 4-5, after a one-week delay, with non-striking regulars and free agents who were told to re port Wednesday, the same day the union planned to start picketing. The owners said they would honor requests for ticket refunds. The issue was free agency. The union demanded that any player with more than four years’ experi ence be free to choose his team; the owners insisted on some compensa tion for teams losing free agents, a system that has seen only one player change teams in a decade. That was much different from the 1982 strike, which lasted 57 days and cost seven games of the 16-game schedule. That walkout was over money, but since then the average See Strike, page 11 ATTENTION PURCHASERS Of Propane Gas for Residential Use A proposed settlement of a lawsuit brought on behalf of purchasers of propane gas who reside in the Bryan, Tx. area has been reached.
