The Daily News Leader from Staunton, Virginia • 20

Friday, July 31, 1970 8 Staunton Leader TV Brad Dusek Graduates To Starting Left Halfback lit iW i 'I a war-ir- 'nnr iHMiHir nrniirniiiiwrirwiiiriir got in a few plays at quarterback and running back, returned punts and kickoffs and averaged around 38 yards as the freshman team's punter. But a poll ol Southwest Conference freshman coaches by a Texas newspaper named Dusek' the outstanding defensive player among conference freshmen. "He's real strong, very smart and fast enough," Gene Stall-' ings sums up. Dusek's speed in track was just average for a high-school sprinter a 10-flat 100 and a 22.3 in the 220 but his quickness and pure power give him the tools to emerge as one of the Southwest Conference's leading sophomore stars of the last several years. He'll have competition in that category this season as several SWC schools are grooming blue-chiopers for starring roles.

Quarterbacks Joe Ferguson of Arkansas and Gary Keithley of Texas hold much promise, but are expected to play behind established upperclassmen in 1970: Rnn Arceneaux of Rice caueht 25 passes for 300 yards in five games last fall; Roger Gore has caught the eye of Baylor coaches with his superior plav at defensive end; Rav-mond Rhodes could be TCTTs prime running threat; SMU's 250-pound Johnny Meyer is labeled can't-miss at offensive tackle. If the position switch is any handicap, you'd never guess it from listening to the articulate young Dusek. A National Hon- or Society member who maintained a 94 grade-point average, Brad thoroughly enjoyed his spring's maneuvering. "I thought both Lex James and I were pretty good quarterbacks," he said, "but I figured I could move to halfback easier wan he could and he was the better passer. I really like it now that I've switched.

"The only problem is that you run inside a lot more as a halfback, where as a quarterback I was rolling out a lot. The main trouble has been finding the hole." So 1970 will be a big year for 20-year-old Brad Dusek. There's that new position, there's his first year of college varsity competition and then there's that long winning streak over Texas, last year's No. 1 team in the nation. "The Aggies always won when we would play as kids," Dusek repeated.

"I hope it stays that wav now that we're playing real Longhorns." Gar Shettoo (guest star Carl Betz, right), tells Inspector Erskfoe (series star Efram Zimbalist, Jr.) that he plans to personally! try to find his kidnapped son, in on "The FBI," Sunday cH Stereo Console When you've been the star running back of the same team for 10 or 12 years, you sort of accept the seasons as they come, right? Not exactly, if your name is Brad Dusek and you're looking forward to the 1970 season at Texas University. Young Brad, 207 pounds and downright frightful a power runner, has been the Aggies' best runner ever since he can remember even though he's just now heading into his sophomore season. "When I was a kid I used to listen to the game every Thanksgiving Day, then we'd go out in the yard and choose up sides and play," Brad recalls. "I would always choose the guys to be the Aggies and we always won." Dusek admits that he never had much of a chance to play for any other school his Dad Ed was a lineman at in 1942 and again in the '46-'47 seasons after returning from World War II. The kids in the neighborhood always thought of him as the No.

1 Aggie and that was fine by young Dusek. Today, a lot of grownups are thinking of Brad Dusek as the Number One Aggie especially after his performance in the final game of spring training. Dusek nailed down the claim to the starting left halfback spot after gaining 89 yards in eight carries and adding another 31 yards on his only pass reception of the game. He played a little more than one quarter, for which the defensive teams opposing him were grateful. "When you talk about quality football players," said Aggie head man Gene.

Stallings, "you're talking about Brad Dusek." Dusek's athletic fame pre-1 ceded him to from Temple in Central Texas, where he was an all-district and all-state quarterback safety, an all-district baseball catcher, an all-district basketball forward and the highpoint man in the district track meet. "I sort of expected to end up a running back," Brad confided. "I was 'never that good a passer; in fact, I was more of a runner playing quarterback than a passer." Last fall, he was more of a defender than anything else.

Why? In every other contest football, baseball, tennis, boxing the focal area is right there in front of the announcer and the cameras.

But not so in golf. Take the case of a broadcast such as the American Golf Classic, to be seen live and in color Saturday, and Sunday. Here the announcer has over 7,000 yards of the beautiful Firestone Country Club course to contend with, most of it out of sight. Also, a great deal of the audio coverage is given in a whisper. The reason for mis is that, although play as seen on the home screen may be done some distance away, there may be a green or tee near the announce--er's booth where normal dialo COLOR TELEVISION gue could easily be heard, possibly disrupting a golfer's concentration.

And no announcer wants a putter or driver to come flying in his direction. One shot on one putt can mean victory or defeat. Emphasizing this is part of the coverage, but deciding how to play the shot is strictly up to the golfer.
