the Aggies. He was ESPN’s Player
of the Game in LSU’s 17-3 victory in
1987.
Last week Williams hinted the
game would be an easy victory for
LSU, and predicted the Final score
would be an LSU cakewalk: 35-6.
Williams blamed rustiness for his
less-than-stellar performance —
only 32 yards on 13 rushes — and
said he still considers LSU a better
team than A&M.
“By far they’re the fastest team
we’ll play this year,” Williams said.
“They didn’t look that fast on Film.
It’s frustrating after working all
summer and opening the season in
the loss column.”
“Frustrating” was a recurring
word Saturday night for the Tigers.
The Aggie defense, depleted by in
juries in the front line and returning
only one proven starter in the line
backing corps, shut down LSU’s run
ning game and maintained constant
pressure on Hodson.
“It’s hard to throw when people
are sacking you,” a disgusted LSU
Coach Mike Archer said. “It’s hard
to throw when they’re knocking you
down. They were confident offen
sively, defensively and made the big
plays and sacks. If you look at the
last three years, that’s us.”
Slocum said the Aggies had a basic
plan as they went into the game: pre
vent the run. Offensively, they had
to eliminate turnovers, run the ball,
make first downs and keep Hodson
off the Field.
A&M did all that and more. Hor
ton’s kickoff return and placekicker
Layne Talbot’s extra point gave the
Aggies a quick 7-0 lead with less than
15 seconds off the clock. LSU could
not recover.
LSU’s First offensive series was a
shaky one, and indicative of the way
the game would go on. LSU’s First
play from scrimmage was a Williams
fumble, which he recovered for a
two-yard loss. An Aggie blitz forced
a Hodson overthrow on second
down. Hodson missed a wide-open
Willie Williams on third down to
force the LSU punt.
A&M’s offense was equally stag
nant. They took a 7-3 lead into half
time with only 126 total yards, with
most of it coming from three Pavlas
passes: 23- and 32-yard passes from
Pavlas to tight end Mike Jones and a
23-yard pass to Cornelius Patterson
as time expired in the First half.
The turning point of the game
might have come in the second quar
ter. With A&M leading 7-0, LSU be
gan a drive that started at their own
17-yard line. They marched up the
Field to have a second-down-and-
goal situation at the Aggie one-yard
line.
There, the A&M defense stiff-
•ened. Cornerback Kevin Smith
stopped Jay Egloff at the line of
scrimmage for no gain. An apparent
touchdown pass from Hodson to
Ronnie Haliburton was called back
because of a holding penalty. On
third-and-goal from the 11-yard
line, Hodson completed a short pass
to Tony Moss that only netted three
yards.
Although LSU got a Field goal, the
A&M defense proved a point. They
might be young and inexperienced,
but they’re just as fast and strong as
A&M defenses from past years.
“We had a bunch of young guys
that nobody knew, and we didn’t
know how we’d perform, but they
(the new members of the A&M de
fense) made everybody real proud
tonight,” Wallace, the defensive cap
tain, said. “They really turned it up
tonight.
“We have a lot of growing up to
do, but we really performed tonight
and I think we’re going to deserve
some recognition.”
The game remained close until
the fourth quarter. With the Aggies
ahead 14-10, Wilson broke two
tackles and scored on a 20-yard run
that sealed the game.
But the Aggies weren’t through
yet. Fifteen seconds later, Smith in
tercepted an underthrown Hodson
pass and returned it 40 yards to put

the game deFinitely out of reach.
Washington did score a last-min
ute touchdown pass against A&M’s
prevent defense from Hodson to
Haliburton that made the Final score
a little more respectable, but by then
the outcome already was decided.
“The only good thing we did to
night was get our punts into the cor
ner,” Archer said. “It’s obvious we’re
not as good as everybody thinks we
are. This is not a good start for us.”
But it was, for the First time in Five
years and also the First time in the
new R.C. Slocum era, a good start
for the Aggies.
Giamatti’s family sets private ceremony
NEW YORK (AP) — A. Bartlett
Giamatti’s body was taken to a Ham
den, Conn., funeral home late Satur
day and baseball announced Sunday
that the funeral and burial will be
dosed to the public.
“At the request of the family, fu
neral services for Dr. Giamatti will
be private and limited to the family,”
acting commissioner Fay Vincent
said in a statement. “The family
hopes that his many friends and ad
mirers will respect its wishes for pri
vacy during this difficult time. A me
morial service for Dr. Giamatti will
be held at some point in the future,
but plans are not yet complete.”
The memorial probably will be
held at Yale University in New Ha
ven, Conn., according to school and
baseball officials. They said the date
of the memorial was still being dis
cussed. Giamatti, who died at the age
of 51 from a heart attack last Friday,
was president of Yale from 1978 to
1986.
It was quiet Sunday at Beecher &
Bennett Inc. The funeral home, a
one-story, red brick building, is set
back by a grass lawn off a four-lane
road that runs through Hamden,
the town where Giamatti lived. At
mid-afternoon there were no visi
tors. The parking lot was empty ex
cept for a lone, black hearse.
Frank Taylor, who identified him
self as an administrator, was inside
answering telephones. He refused to
e pi
math’s funeral or burial.
Giamatti continued to be remem
bered at the nation’s ballparks on
Sunday. Moments of silence are be
ing observed before all games
through Monday and flags will be
lowered to half staff until further
notice.
Vincent, the deputy commis
sioner, on Saturday was named act
ing commissioner by baseball’s exec
utive council, which consists of the
two league presidents and seven
owners.
The executive council, which met
by conference call Saturday, has a
regularly scheduled meeting on Fri
day in New York. A baseball ofFicial,
who spoke on the condition that he
not be identified, said he expected
the executive council would recom
mend that Vincent be made commis
sioner pro tern.
Under the Major League
Agreement, a commissioner pro tern
may serve up to three years. There is
no formal ofFice of acting commis
sioner under the Major League
Agreement.
A quarterly meeting of major
league owners is scheduled for Mil
waukee on Sept. 13-14 and they
could ratify the selection at that
time, the official said. The owners
also could meet earlier by confer
ence call to ratify the choice.
Fans ready for JJ Boys new-look Cowboys
IRVING, Tcites (AP) — Many of
the 63,582 fans who watched the un
veiling of the 1989 edition of the
Dallas Cowboys on Saturday say ag
gression and enthusiasm will mark
this year’s squad.
“Jimmy Johnson’s a motivator,”
said Bret Avlakeotes of Mesquite. “I
expect to see a pumped up, more ag
gressive team this year.
“I just want to see them play some
Time's Running Out!
solid games and put some points on
the board.”
They did Saturday night. A 55-
yard field goal by Roger Ruzek as
time expired gave Dallas a 30-28 win
over the Houston Oilers in a presea
son finale at Texas Stadium. It also
atoned for Ruzek’s three missed
field goals.
The state’s two professional teams
have met 23 times in preseason for
bragging rights of Texas. Dallas has
won 16.
“We always like to be able to say
we beat the team down south,” said
Wellon Walls of Dallas.
The Cowboys gave away about
2,000 unsold tickets to local youth
groups earlier in the week to lift a
television blackout.
But team officials kept the fans in
the dark about who would start at
quarterback until just before the
game.
Oilers fans Gilbert and Bea Mo
rales came from Houston to see who
would get the starting spot and “to
see if the Cowboys were for real.”
“It’s got to be (Troy) Aikman,”
Mrs. Morales predicted before the
contest. “They’d be crazy to start
anyone else.”
