Football Brochure
Packed With Facts
Of A&M Football
One of the nation’s most com-
|lete football brochures ever pro-
Buced is now on sale at the
athletic Business Office in G.
[lollie White Coliseum.
The 1965 handbook to Texas
l&M football, compiled by Sports
Publicity Director Spec Gammon,
rontains more facts and figures
about A&M football than any
aooklet ever has. It costs $1.
It even tells how to pronounce
the players’ names. For instance,
Eddie McKaughan is Ma-COIN;
Joe Weiss is Wice (rhymes with
vice).
A short personal sketch of
each Aggie player is included in
the 84-page press guide, as well
as information about the coaches
and other athletic department
personnel.
It presents a play-by-play
account of each of last season’s
games, gives results of every
game since Aggie football began,
accounts the record of A&M
against every opponent it has
ever played, lists the all-SWC
players from A&M, tells that
A&M has won 352 games and
lost 230 and tied 44, and has
scored 10,544 points to their
opponents’ 5,764.

A&M Hall Of Fame To Add
4 Former Athletes, Coaches
New A&M grid mentor Gene
Stallings signed 63 schoolboy per
formers, the largest announced
recruiting haul in the Southwest
Conference.
Stallings signed prep stars
from all across Texas in addition
to several out-of-staters.
Stallings was particularly suc
cessful in inking highly-regarded
quarterbacks. Only four signal-
callers were signed, but all had
glittering prep careers.
Charlie Riggs of Galena Park
and Bob Long of Paris were the
first and second-team 4A all-state
quarterbacks, respectively. Lin-
den-Kildare’s Eddie Hargett was
the 2A second-team signal caller.
On paper, the Cadets also re
cruited the greatest number of
quality running backs in the
league. Several were mentionel
on the all-state squads.
Ace Cooley of Victoria was
listed on the third team of the
4A all-star team, as was fullback
George Rincon of Baytown. Rol
and Rainey from Bonham was
selected to the 3A second-team
line-up.
Dublin’s John Turney made the
second team of the 2A all-state
club. Joe Wood, a 195-pounder
from Waller, was a third-team
all-state in class 1A. Richard
son’s Wendell Housley is another
top prospect.
A good end crop was brought
in, both in quality and quantity.
Arvell Fishy of Nederland was
a third team all-state choice in
4A. Other standouts include
Super-Central Texas selection Joe
Townsend of Bastrop and all
round athlete Tommy Buckman
of Fort Worth Carter.
The interior linemen are com
paratively smaller in number but
the list includes several highly-
touted individuals. Gordon Klun-
kert, was a first team all-state
selection in class 3A from San
Marcos, state finalists.
Harvey Aschenback was a sec
ond team choice at tackle on the
2A all-state squad. Bryan’s Rolf
Krueger was a Super Centex
choice at tackle.
