In the receiving department, Daskalakes is one of Dietz's favorite targets.

Last week he hauled in seven aerials for 81 yards and a TD. Other prime receivers for the are tight end Terry Smith, 200-pound senior and split end John Parker, 1 7 8 sophomore. Smith has five receptions for 68 yards and two touchdowns, and Parker has five receptions, but no touchdowns. The Lions secondary is strong, and last week picked off three McNeese aerials. Part time rover Bill Fore, 184-pound junior, intercepted one pass and snagged five aerials for 91 yards.

He was most effective on the screen pass. Fullback David Wallace andl split end Ronnie Vinson are the; other top two Wildcat receivers, but Wallace, with a ankle suffered during this returned Wesley, it 15 yards; Curtis 183-pound freshman inebacker intercepted an aerial and he returned it 11 yards; and reshman linebacker Mickey 195-pound er, also lad one interception.

East Texas State will have to put up a superb secondary defensive job to stop the Lindsey- Vinson combination, one which clicked for 82 receptions Jim Lee Williams, 220-pound hard running fullback, will see his first action this year, and has been tabbed as the starter at his position. Williams, still at only half speed, will add to the ground punch if he can be effective at all against ETSU. Starting at tight end will Stan Williams, 195-pound junior, who caught two aerials for 27 yards last week. Newcomer Wolfgang Halbig, 195-pound transfer, will probably be called into service at the tight end slot. Against HPC, Halbig snagged two aerials for 21 yards, but saw only limited action.

However, BuLlington liked what he saw in Halbig, and the full-blooded German is due more playing time this week. Btillington didn't mix words when, earlier this week, he said the Wildcats will have to "play better than they are capable of doing, if that is possible," if they want to win Saturday.
