“The team has made a tre
mendous comeback,” Mrs. Sandra
Huggins, wife of defensive back-
field coach Lide Huggins, says.
“It’s really unbelieveable! ”
They have enjoyed living in
the Bryan-College Station area
since moving here from South
Carolina three years ago. “Every
one was so nice to us when we
first moved here,” Mrs. Huggins
recalled. “It really meant a lot
to us because we’re so far from
home,” she continued.
The one main difference she
has found between Texas and
South Carolina is the cilmate.
“We really have a winter back
home,” she noted. “But we love it
out here.”
They usually spend Christmas
and summer vacation in South
Carolina so that their children
have an opportunity to get to
know their grandparents.
Coach Huggins lives in two
different worlds. All day long he
works with the boys on the foot
ball team. At night he is sur
rounded by females—his wife and
three daughters. He believes that
the children’s parakete is a girl,
too. “We’re going to start a girls’
basketball team,” Mrs. Huggins
said.
The two older girls, Kathy,
age 7, and Karen, age 5, think
football is just great. Sabrina,
who is 5 months old, doesn’t think
much about it. She just enjoys
being a happy baby who never
meets a stranger.
Kathy and Karen are Aggie
supporters all the way. They al
ways want to wear maroon and
white. They definitely don’t ap
prove of orange and white.
They have seen their father
play football. He played at the
University of South Carolina.
But now they know he’s a coach.
As they put it, “He has a bunch
of boys that he takes care of.”
Coach Huggins usually calls
them in the afternoon so that
they can tell him about their day.
Kathy always has a great deal
to tell him about her day at
school. She’s in the second grade
at Sul Ross.
Both girls enjoy the Aggie
Band. But “they are always ask
ing why there aren’t majorettes,”
Mrs. Huggins said smiling.
Mrs. Huggins has enjoyed be
ing a coach’s wife because it’s
given her a chance to make last
ing friendships. She wouldn’t
trade it for anything else.
She was really impressed by
the Aggie spirit. “I have never
seen such great spirit before,”
she said. “And it means a lot
to the team.”
She was just a little more
nervous about the Arkansas game
because her husband scouted it.
“I’m glad we played one of our
best games against them.”
She enjoys all types of music
and plays the piano. She also
enjoys bowling.
She teaches a 3-year-old Sun
day school group at the A&M
Presbyterian Church.
She would someday like to get
a college degree in elementary
education.

The Norelco Tripleheader.
The closest, fastest, most comfortable
shaver on wheels.
On campus.
On-off switch.
It also has three Norelco
Microgroove™ 'floating heads',
to shave you 35% closer. So
dose, we dare to match shaves
with a blade. But comfortable
too, because the Norelco rotary
blades shave without a nick or a
pinch while the floating heads
swing over the hills and valleys
of your face. And there's a pop
up trimmer to give you an edge
on your sideburns.
Now there's a Rechargeable
Tripleheader Speedshaver®
45CT too. It works with or with
out a cord. And delivers twice
as many shaves per charge as
any other rechargeable.
Two great
Tripleheaders
with more
features than
any other
shavers on
the market.
