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.

In Kickoff Returns
Heading' = into the first home
game of the year, the Aggies can
boast of two things: Jim Keller’s

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
