The scoring pass came after the Maroon de fense had forced a White team fumble, with linebacker Buster Adami falling on the loose ball. Hargett, along with Charlie Riggs, led four longer touchdown drives as the Maroon first teams continued their dominance over the White second squads. The running of tailbacks Larry Stegent and Johnny Weaver, along with fullback Wendell Hous- ley, featured the four scoring trips. Stegent and Weaver picked up most of their yardage on pitch- out plays, while Housley bulled up the middle for his yardage. STEGENT AND Housley both scored twice. Stegent’s scores in cluded a 19-yard scamper while Housley scored on two short line plunges. Weaver scored once, on a twisting 28-yard pitchout play. Head Coach Gene Stallings, while having praise for his first- team candidates, was disappointed with the second team’s showing. “The second and third squads looked like they were waiting for practice to end,” said the Aggie mentor following the workout. Stallings also is not satisfied with the three problem spots on the of fensive line, strong and weak guard and strong tackle. Rusty Stallings and Jim Parker were at the guard posts, while Mike Fields il COACH GENE STALLINGS Has praise for maroon teams. was at tackle. “THE DEFENSE was slow in getting started,” Stallings said as he commented on the first team’s overall showing. He added that they got better as the scrimmage progressed. Tackle Rolf Krueger was out standing for the defense as the senior letterman blocked three passes. Krueger and his tackle- mate, Harvey Aschenback, along with middle guard Lynn Odom, did a good job of plugging up the middle on the white team offense. Adami, in addition to his fum ble recovery, also contributed an interception to the Maroon’s cause. Safety Tommy Maxwell also grabbed an errant pass. The White offense was featured by quarterback Robert Strans- berry’s passes to end Larry Yeates. Strans berry, who was red-shirted last season, hit Yeates on three aerials during the White’s second series of downs. THE WHITE squad’s lone score came after tackle Dale Watts fell on a mis-handled Riggs to Hous ley handoff. Stransberry set up the touchdown with two succes sive pass plays. The first, a 30- yard aerial to Steve Mullen, was followed by a 12-yarder to wing- back Billy Seely. Stransberry then scored on a keeper play to put the Whites on the scoreboard. Riggs and sophomore place kicker Mike Kearney were per fect in the extra point depart ment, with five and one respec tively. Stallings announced Saturday that after today’s workout, he will divide the squad into Maroon and White teams. He pointed out that they will practice separately Wednesday and Thursday in pre paration for Saturday afternoon’s annual Spring Game. ^ Bob Long and Dave ELmendorf joined the workouts for the first time Monday. Both had been ex cused until the completion of the Southwest Conference baseball season. Both Long, who joined the team at wingback and weak: end, and Elmendorf, who was a White team defensive back, were start- ers on the Aggie baseball team.
