Coach iGene Stallings’ first
edition of the ‘‘Make Something
Happen” Aggies evidently has
captured the fancy of football
fans in the Southwest as wit
nessed by early applications for
tickets.
A&M ticket manager Mary
Ruth Wilson said that the early
demand for tickets is running
ahead of last year’s applications.
The Aggies have an attractive
four-game home schedule which
sees the Houston Cougars, SMTJ
Mustangs, Baylor Bears and
Texas Longhorns invading Kyle
Field.
Some of the top players in the
Southwest will perform against
the Aggies in those games.
Warren McVea and Cotton Guer-
rant of Houston, John Roderick
of SMU, Terry Southall and
Tommy Nobis of Texas are just
a few of the invading stars.
A&M business manager Pat
Dial reminded priority groups
that the priority ticket orders
close July 31.
Texas A&M head football coach
Gene Stallings announced over
the weekend that J. W. (Jake)
Helms, veteran Texas high school
coach, has been hired as freshman
football coach at A&M.
“I believe our freshman foot
ball program will toe in good
hands under coach Helms,” Stall
ings said. “I think we were very
fortunate to secure a man with
such a fine coaching background
from the Texas high school ranks.
I know he will toe an asset to
our staff at Texas A&M.”
Helms was bom in San
Augustine, grew up in Childress,
and has been a coach in South
Texas for 17 years. His son, Jim,
is a defensive halfback at the
University of Texas.
“I’m real happy at this chance
to join coach Stallings’ staff at
A&M,” Helms declared. “I think
this is a great opportunity for
me. I know that coach Stallings
has a splendid coaching staff at
A&M and I am thrilled at being
added to that group.”
Helms this past year was foot
ball and track coach at Uvalde
High School, having gone there
after an eight-year tenure as
football and track coach at San
Benito High. Prior to that he
coached one year at Laredo High,
four years at Freer High and
three years at Brownsville Junior
College.

a 1-9 season to do much

Hayden Fry became coach in
1962 and in his three years he
has a record of 7-24-0. Yet during
that time he was named coach
of the year, had a team in a
bowl game and engineered one
of the big upsets of football when
his Mustangs knocked down
mighty Navy in 1963.
Last season the team reached
the depths under Fry when it
won only one game and got beat
44-0 by Arkansas. This was ex
plained largely by the fact that
the squad lost seven starters
before the season even began.
There also were some crippling
injuries.
But Fry doesn’t think it prob
able for the team to fall that low
in 1965. He has 29 lettermen
back from last year and three
lettermen from 196*3.

Those 1963 boys could really

in 1964, and Larry Jemigan, who
showed Doak Walker potential as
a sophomore but couldn't play in
