MRS. JACK HURLBUT
West Pointers Not Sweet
When Told No Bowl In ’67
By YANCY MANNING
Battalion Staff Writer
"The Aggie Bonfire really
shows the great spirit of A&M,”
Mrs. Gail Hurlburt, wife of
quarterback coach Jack Hurl but,
says.
“I can’t imagine bonfire with
out ‘Pinkie’ Downs,” she added.
Mrs. Hurlbut enjoys eating
Thanksgiving dinner with the
team on Tuesday before the
‘Turkey Day’ game because it
gives her a chance to know the
players better.
Like most coaches’ wives, she
loves and enjoys football. “I’m
happy because Jack is doing what
he likes to do best,” she said.
Both she and Coach Hurlbut are
from Houston. He played football
for Bice one yearbefore going to
the Universtiy of Alabama. “I
always wanted him to play and
win,” Mrs. Hurlbut recalled. “But
now football means more to me
because Jack is a coach.”
She enjoyed her stay in Ala
bama but was happy to come to
A&M because it is nearer her
home.
She has found A&M a friendly
school. “Courteous students are
the rule here rather than the ex
ception,” she noted.
She admires the whole football
team but is especially interested
in quarterback Edd Hargett be
cause her husband is quarterback
coach. “Edd is a great athlete,”
she said.
She also enjoys watching
Curley Hallman because Coach
Hurlbut counseled him in Ala
bama.
“The boys and the coaches have
really worked hard this year,” she
said. “They are boys who just
won’t give up and that is what it
takes to win.”
The Hurlbuts have a 4-year old
son named Steve. He’s a real
Aggie fan and tries to do every
thing the Aggies do at football
games.
He thinks the band is great.
“We would be delighted if Steve
goes to A&M,” Mrs. Hurlbut said.
“We’re almost certain that he’ll
be in the band,” she added. “But
then there is no band to compare
with the Aggie Band.”
She attends all home games and
some out of town games. Steve
usually accompanies her to the
out of town games.
One of her favorite pastimes
is reading about the Civil War.
Coach Hurlbut gave her five
books on the Civil War for Christ
mas last year.
She and Coach Hurlbut are
sponsors of a college sophomore
training union class at the First
Baptist Church of College Sta
tion. “We don’t get to work with
them as much as we would like
during football season but we try
to do more in the summer,” she
said.
She also enjoys all other sports.
Swimming is her favorite.

WASHINGTON (/P)—Secretary
of the Army Stanley Resor has
ruled that the West Point foot
ball team will accept no post
season bowl bids, the Pentagon
announced Thursday night.
“It was concluded that accept
ing an invitation to play in a post
season bowl game would tend to
emphasize football to an extent
not consistent with the basic
mission of the Academy, which is
to produce career Army officers,”
the statement said.
The Pentagon said the Viet
namese war entered into the dis
cussion by officials “but it was
not a major consideration.”
The Sugar Bowl in New Or
leans, La., had indicated an in
terest in inviting the U. S. Mili
tary Academy football team to

classics.
The Pentagon statement said:
“Authorities at the U. S. Mili
tary Academy announced today
that no bowl bids will be accepted
this year for the Army football
team.
“After having studied all im
plications of participation in a
bowl game, it was determined
that it would not be advisable for
the Army team to participate.”
An Army spokesman said the
“final decision was made by the
Secretary of the Army.”
He denied that West Point had
received a bowl bid but acknowl
edged that “we are aware of some
interest in the Academy concern
ing a bowl appearance.”
Rep. F. Edward Hebert, D.-La.,
strongly criticized the action as
“a hasty decision” by the Army.
He said the action had deliv
ered a body blow to the Acad
emy’s morale.
Hebert vowed that he would
continue his effort to have the
decision changed.
At West Point, 324 metal sugar
bowls disappeared from the mess
hall Thursday morning. Sugar
was heaped in mounts on plates.
A sign lettered in red and blue
said:
“No Sugar Bowl for the Army
team, no sugar bowls for the
Corps.”
“Most of us want to see the
team go to a bowl game,” one
Cadet said. “But some of the
cadets are a little bit afraid that
if we did attend a bowl game
they’d somehow require the Corps
to attend, and it would cut into
Christmas leave time.”

The Aggies visit their second
‘home town’ tomorrow afternoon
as the Maroon and. White clash
with the Rice Owls for the 52nd
time in history.
FORTUNES for the two teams
have been distinctly different.
The Aggies started off with four
straight losses and then reversed
the trend with an identical num
ber of wins. The Owls lost their
first opener to LSU but then won
three straight. Their season then
took a turn and the Owls take a
three-game losing string into the
game.
have come up with that all-impor
tant big play that has brought
them where they are now, at the
top of the heap.
THOUGH THE Maroon and
White’s team statistics are lower
than some, the team still has
some individual performances
that have helped.
The top two offensive perform
ers have been quarterback Edd
Hargett and tailback Larry Ste-
gent. The twosome has account
ed for 1,670 of the 2,207 yards the
Aggie offense has garnered this
season.

hit ‘‘You Know I Can’t Hearj

scribes the new work as a

Among participants under J]
Schneider’s direction in thesct»
uled January arrival are te
Alan Webb, Hal Holbrook
Teresa Wright, who is Mrs,
derson in private life.
The Owls have been eliminated
from any hope of taking the 1967
Southwest Conference title. But
first-year head man Bo Hagan’s
charges would love to knock off
the front-running Aggies.
All these statistics no matter
how big or small, must take a
back seat tomorrow. For as any
SWC fan knows, any conference
team has as much chance of
winning as the other, regardless
of record.
Aggie Coach Gene Stallings is
well aware of this and has had
two weeks to get his team ready
for this the ninth game of the
season. This will be the first time
the Aggies have had a chance to
put their record on the winning
side since the season opener with
Southern Methodist.
This is a must game for the
Aggies. At the start of the sea
son, many experts said that the
‘Turkey Day’ game will decide
the SWC title. The Aggies must
beat Rice to make this prediction
a reality.
EVEN THOUGH the Owls are
3-4-0 on the season, they pre
sent some impressive offensive
statistics. Their quarterback Rob
ert Hailey leads the SWC in pass
completions with a 87 for 161
mark. His credentials look even
better when its learned that
Hailey is playing regularly only
because the Owls top field gen
erals has been injured this sea-

In Texas Tourney
The Texas Aggie soccer team
will foot their own bill and go to
the Texas Soccer Invitational
tournament at Austin this week
end.
That man is Robby Shelton,
who presents a running threat
when he is in the game. Shelton
is expected to be ready for action
tomorrow.
Where Rice has some big of
fense statistics, the Aggies have
been able to top the Owls in the
statistic that counts the most —
scoring. The Maroon and White
is the top scoring team in the
conference.
The Aggies are not among the
leaders in team statistics but they
The tournament will operate on
a one loss-elimination procedure.
The complete Aggie roster is
making the trip as the possi
bility of 2-3 games-a-day presents
