Soccer Socks
Aggieland
By GARY SHERER
As soccer has come to Houston recently and to the
rest of the nation, the British-originated sport has also
come to A&M.
The sport has been at the school for several years
but this year saw an international soccer tournament take
| on some spirited and enjoyable action.
A soccer program of some sort has been on the A&M
campus for several years. However, participation has been
low and interest from spectators has been lower. This
year the soccer team compiled a 10-2-0 record and enjoyed
a successful year but most of the student body was still
unaware of the soccer program.
Then, soccer team co-captains Gilbert© Garza and Sam
Brent came up with an idea. They organized an inter
national soccer tournament that began a few weeks ago.
It was culminiated this past weekend with the Tunisian
team taking the tournament with 15 points.
The student response to the tournament was excellent,
with both graduate and undergraduate students eligible
to play. Students from South American and Central Ameri
can countries made up the bulk of the players with students
from Central Europe and the United States also represented.
After the players were organized, meetings were held,
rules were established and teams were picked. Along with
Tunisia were teams from North America, South America
and Central America.
The tournament was set up with a 12-game league
system. The players supplied their own officials and uni
forms. The enthusiasm was tremendous in comparison
with the lack of interest of recent years.
As the participation was good, so was the interest
[from observers. Most of the games were played on Sun-
|days and the games drew responsive if not great crowds.
Dr. Kurt Irgolic, the soccer team sponsor, was so
pleased with the response to the program that he has sug
gested that the tournament be an annual event and that
the basis for the varsity team for the following year should
come from these teams.
As mentioned, the tournament ended last Sunday. This
Sunday will be an all-star game billed as the “Maroon and
White" game. The game will be played on the soccer
field which is located on the south side of ^ the campus
and just east of Kyle Field across from the tennis courts.
Each team will be made up of 15 players (11 players
and 4 substitutes). An explanation of the rules of the
game would be rather extensive but briefly the rules go
like this: 11 players on a team, two 45-minute periods,
with a five-minute halftime, and a playing field around
the size of a football field with a goal and net at each end.
The game is started with a faceoff at the middle of
the field and the team that wins the toss of a coin gets
to move the ball into the other teams half of the field.
Then the object of the game is to move the ball with any
part of the body except the arms to the goal and score.
But rather than my rambling on about the rules,
why don’t some of the students go out to the soccer field
at 3 p.m. on Sunday and see this game in action. You
won’t be disappointed.
With the recent nationwide interest in this interna
tional sport one can see that soccer will become a permanent
part of the Texas A&M athletic makeup and well it should.
The players are looking forward to the Southwest Confer
ence soccer championships that will be organized this fall
or winter for competition that will begin in 1968.
Now that soccer has taken over as the world’s most
popular sport it is not hard to foresee that the sport will
be in most of the major universities across the United
States.
When this does happen, Texas A&M will be right up
there with the best of them if this spring’s participation
and action is any evidence.
The defense got its revenge on the offense as first
units squared off Wednesday in Texas A&M’s eighth spring
football workout.
Attempting to take the football in from 35 yards out,
the offense was stymied twice by the defense. On the
first series, Wendell Housley raced around end on an
option play for one first down but then Lynn Odom and
Gary Kitchens made big defensive plays to halt the drive.
On the second series, guard Harvey Aschenbeck re
covered quarterback Charlie Riggs’ fumble and coach Gene
Stallings sent the defensive unit in some 30 minutes early.
The first defense had Grady Allen and Gary Kitchens
at the ends, Lynn Odom and Harvey Aschenbeck at the
guards, Robert Cortez, Bill Hobbs, Buster Adami and Ivan
(Jones at linebackers, Jack Whitmore and Tom Sooy at
the halves and Curley Hallman and George Walker shar
ing time at safety.
The first offense had Jimmy Adams and Tom Buck-
man at ends, Dan Schneider and Rolf Krueger at tackles,
Maurice Moorman and Ray Morse at guards, Mike Cas
well at center, Hargett and Riggs at quarterback, Housley
[ and Larry Stegent at tailback, Bill Sallee at fullback and
Barney Harris at wingback.
Coach Stallings said he’d probably let the squad off
today and then work Friday and Saturday of this week.

Aggie Track Team In Iowa
For Drake Relays Friday
By JERRY GRISHAM
The Texas Aggie tracksters will
be going after three first places
in the Drake Relays in Des
Moines, Iowa, this Friday and
Saturday.
Two of them, the shot put and
discus, are practically certainties
with Randy Matson participating
in them.
The third could be a surprise.
Drake Relays runs a 480-yard
shuttle hurdle relay, with four
runners going 120 yards each over
hurdles, and Aggie Coach Charlie
Thomas says the Aggies will be
going all out for that one.
Running in that event will be
Gary Abernathy, Richard Ball,
Deward Strong and Steve O’Neal.
It will be a first for the team
because they have never run it
before.
The Aggies will enter nine
events. The 440-yard relay team
of Abernathy, O’Neal, Larry Mc-
Gough and Jack White will try
their luck in that event. The
team’s best time so far this year
is 41.4.
The Aggies will enter two con
testants in the 120-yard high
hurdles. O’Neal has the best time
in the event with a 14.1. Also
entered in the 120 hurdles is De
ward Strong whose best time this
year is only .2 seconds slower than
O’Neal’s with a 14.3.
Strong and Ball are entered in
the 440-yard hurdles. Strong’s
best time is 53.5 and Ball’s is 53.6.
McGough, Willie Rodriguez,
Mike Boyd and White are the Ag
gies’ entrants in the mile relay.
Their best time for the year is
3:13.5.
O’Neal is the lone entry in the
broad jump. His best leap so
far this year is 23-1 Mi.
Boyd, O’Neal, White and Rod
riguez are also entered in the
spring medley relay. Boyd will
run the 220-yard leg, O’Neal will
run the second 220, White will
run the 440 and Rodriguez will
be the anchor man on the 880-
yard leg.
Matson and George Resley will
enter the shot and discus. Last
year in the Drake Relays Matson
threw the shot 65-3%. He did
not participate in the discus.
Friday the Aggie tennis team
closes out this season as they
play the Texas Christian netters
Friday on the A&M courts.
The next action after this
week will be the Southwest Con
ference meet in Dallas May 4-6.
FRESHMAN TENNIS
In freshman tennis the Univer
sity of Texas freshmen tennis
team handed the Fish their first
conference loss of the season 3-1
yesterday in Austin.

Ragland in the number one sin
gles match 0-6, 6-1, 6-2. John
