KEEPSAKE DIAMOND RINGS, SYRACUSE 2, NEW YORK, 13202 Page 4 THE BATTALION College Station, Texas Wednesday, October 9, 1963 FROM THE Sideli ineA By JIM BUTLER “Winning the peace is a lonely battle.” At A&M, winning a football game comes under the same heading. A&M has previously enjoyed a nation-wide repu tation for Spirit built up over 86 years. But if this reputa tion depended on the action of the current crop of students, it would last almost as long as Custer did with the Indians. And if campus chit-chat is any indication, the so-called “two-per center” has become a student with Spirit, while the remaining 98 per cent have forgotten that the word ever existed. Sure it’s easy to have a lot of Spirit when the Aggies are winning. It’s always easier to go with a winner. But it takes something special, something that Aggies used to have to stand tall and be proud of a team, YOUR team, when it’s losing. Nobody is trying to pull the wool over anyone’s eyes. True that the Cadets have had some bad breaks, but two of the three losses were caused by mistakes that shouldn’t have been made. And nobody knows it better than the players themselves. During a ball game there are 11 Aggies on the field giving their top effort every second with 30 more players on the bench ready and willing to do the same. In the past there has been something called the 12th Man in the stands, in spirit if not in person. The 1963 A&M football team isn’t the greatest team ever to hit Aggieland; neither is it the worst. But, in the language of TV lawyers, the team’s record is “immaterial, irrelevant and completely beside the point.” What counts is that we are Aggies, they are Aggies and win, lose or draw, they deserve the support of the students. The ridiculous factor in the sudden drop of Spirit is that A&M has yet to play a home game. Consequently, only a very small percentage of the student body has seen them perform. And, from queries about the campus, too few of the students have even bothered to listen to the games on radio. Yet criticism of the coaching staff and players pervades the student body like a heavy fog obscuring facts and hang ing gloom over a place once famed for its “We’ve never been licked” attitude. And there is always the good old standby—“I don’t care if we lose every game as long as we beat Texas.” One game has never made a season and never will! This is not a maudlin plea to give the team one more chance—or even seven more chances. No segment of A&M should be deprived of the wholehearted support of the student body if A&M is still a school of which to be proud. No excuses are being made and none need to be made. It is simply a matter of proclaiming the renowned Aggie Spirit or forsaking it to become lost in a maze of other institutions. SPARK SOUGHT “TUFFY” Soph Harold Fletcher moved up to second unit LE. Reagan Leads SWC In Kickoff Returns Heading' = into the first home game of the year, the Aggies can boast of two things: Jim Keller’s booming kicks and Travis Rea gan’s kickoff returns. Keller’s prodigious boots have lahded him in the third place rankings in the Southwest Con ference behind SMU ? s leader, Dan ny Thomas. —Meanwhile, Reagan leads in returning the ball, aver aging 24.7 yards in six carries.
