BE RIGHT TOO! “WHERE AGGIES MEET” LOUPOT'S THE BATTALION Thursday, September 15, 1966 College Station, Texas Page 9 ‘Mo’ Makes Debut Saturday “Mighty Mo” makes his var sity football debut Saturday against Georgia Tech in Atlanta and Texas Aggie faithful can hardly wait. “Mighty Mo” is 22-year-old Maurice Moorman, a barrel chested tackle who packs 250 pounds on a six-foot-five frame. He migrated to Aggieland after playing freshman ball at the Uni versity of Kentucky and already has become the most legendary Kentuckian in Texas since Dan iel Boone. Aggie head coach Gene Stal lings has had a difficult time suppressing himself about Moor man’s feats. Finally, a few days ago, he could hold it no longer. He told Bryan - College Station Quarterback Club members: I can say, without reservations, Moorman is the best at his posi tion that I have ever seen.” Guard Gary Kovar, who plays alongside “Mo”, says the big jun ior “plays so hard he inspires all the rest of us to do the same.” Asked what he thought about all the pre-season publicity, Moorman turned a cold - eyed, baleful stare on a touring sports- writer and said: “I’m just kinda glad the coach es and people around here have that much confidence in me. It makes me kinda proud.” His being around, in uniform, makes a lot of Aggie gridders proud, too. “No false hopes have been raised about Moorman,” quarter back Hary Ledbetter says. “He’s everything they say he is and maybe more.” Defensive guard Ken Lamkin says: “A lot of big guys because of their size think they can loaf. But not Mo. He works harder than anybody. He can do it all.” “Moorman likes to practice so much that sometimes he is suited up an hour before drills com mence,” trainer Billy Pickard said. “He’s usually first in the training room for taping.” Stallings, who says that Moor man does everything the way it’s supposed to be done, plans to play him both ways—all of the offense and in all critical situa tions on defense. The Aggie boss knows “Mighty Mo” is too good to be spending much time on the sidelines. Moorman has large dimensions in everything except his hat size. He hasn’t gotten the “big head” from all the attention that has been focused on him. When told that he had been named to the pre-season All - Southwest Con ference team before he’d played a down of varsity ball he replied: “That’s ridiculous. I shouldn’t get that honor until I’ve earned it.” Anybody want to bet that he doesn’t? PARIS (A*) — An international panel of advisers has been lined up by Jean-Louis Barrault to help plan the annual Theatre des Nations festival. Barrault, the new general manager, producers and actors from 10 countries. Asked why he included no crtics, Barrault said: “They are a world apart. We must not involve them in pro duction — otherwise they would have nothing to criticize.” WSC- ^Jown ii presents 1966 - 6 7 The New Christy Minstrels September 30, 1966 —G.
