THE BATTAilCtf
’68 Spring Game Officially Begins ‘The Stallings Era
By GARY SHERER
Tomorrow afternoon, at Kyle
Field, Southwest Conference
football fans will have an oppor
tunity to see the official begin
ning of “The Stallings Era” at
Texas A&M.
Saturday’s 2 p.m. annual spring
Maroon and White game will
showcase how successful Coach
Gene Stallings’ first four years
of recruiting have been. The two
squads that take the field will
be the result of the first cycle
of Stallings’ recruiting program
that began back in 1965.
WHEN THE 1956 A&M grad
took over the football-coaching
reins at Aggieland, he said his
purpose was to bring a winning
football team to College Station.
Last season, he did just that
with a team that finished 6-4
for the season and added one
more victory in the 1968 Cotton
Bowl.
But, that team included many
players that had been recruited
the last year of Hank Foldberg’s
tenure. The upcoming ’68 foot
ball season will feature for the
first time a complete Stallings-
recruited Aggie football team.
Stallings split this year’s
spring candidates up as evenly
as possible and the game should
be a close affair.
OFFENSIVE COACH Bud
Moore’s Maroon team will oppose
Defensive Coach Dee Powell’s
White squad in the windup of
this spring’s football training
program.
Powell’s White team should
utilize alot of passing with all-
SWC quarterback Edd Hargett
at the helm. Hargett will be
throwing to wingback Barney
Harris and his battery-mate in
the 1967 Texas topper, Bob Long,
at end.
The White offense will also
include returning letterman Carl
Gough at tackle. He will team
with sophomore-to-be Mike Fields
at the tackle slots. Fields, an
outstanding member of Coach
Jake Helms’ Fish team last sea
son, has been first team at one
of the problem spots on the
offensive line from the start of
the workouts.
ANOTHER candidate, Rusty
Stallings, who is being used as
one of the first team guards (the
other two open spots on the
line) will also be in the White
line. The rest of the upfront
crew will be Waymond Lightfoot
at center, Ronald Reagen at
guard and Doug Valois at split
end. Hargett’s backfield mates
will be first-year man Johnny
Weaver at tailback and ’67 let-
‘Duffers Open’
Set For Today
By JOHN PLATZER
Through the centuries the
game of golf has had to over
come the scorn of kings, score-
card scandals and the present
threat of artificial grass.
Only once before, however, has
the game been put to a test like
the one it will face today when
48 of the sport’s best duffers
tee-off at the A&M Golf Course
in the second annual Gene Stal
lings News Media Golf Tourna
ment.
If the tournament were a book,
it probably would be titled “The
Best of the Worst.”
The public relations coup was
initiated last year and the game
has just begun to show signs
of shaking off the after-effects.
Whether or not the game has
recovered enough to survive a
second assault will be the main
question Friday.
A car horn sounded at 12:30
to start the day’s action. Inside
word says that the car will be
available for quick get-aways if
needed.
The players have been divided
into 12 foursomes for their own
protection. Each of the four
somes is headed by a member
of the A&M athletic department.
A group will be at the tee box
of each of the first nine holes
with the first shots expected
to be hit simultaneously. Each
group will end their round at
the green preceding the box they
teed off from.
No shortcuts will be allowed.
If a player’s first shot should
land on the green of his finishing
hole (a likely possibility) he will
not be able to call it a day, but
will be required to play the holes
in-between.
Stallings and assistant coach
Ralph Smith will head up the
AstroFacts
Announcement is due about
June 1 concerning ticket pro
cedures for the 1968 All-Star
Game, to be played in the Astro
dome on July 9.
Several of Houston’s players
have found May to be a most
profitable page on the 1968
calendar.
Through Tuesday night’s
game, the top individuals:
PITCHING—Don Wilson, with
a 2-0 record and a 0.52 earned
run average for 17 Vs innings in
May; Denny Lemaster, 2-0 and
1.33 for 27 May innings.
BATTING—Rusty Staub, with
a .435 average and 11 RBI’s;
Jim Wynn, with a .386 average.
For the month, the pitching
staff had allowed only 24 earned
runs in 113 innings for a 1.91
staff ERA in May.
two foursomes that will start
off on the number one tee. Play
ing with Stallings will be Dick
Peebles of the Houston Chronicle,
Steve Perkins of the Dallas
Times-Herald and Dave “Texas
Football” Campbell of the Waco
News-Tribune.
Representing “The Battalion” in
the tournament will be Sports
Editor Gary Sherer who spends
more time in the rough than
a diamond. Sherer will be in
Smith’s foursome.
The foursome on the ninth tee
will be headed by the Aggie
Bugle, Spec “Easy Money” Gam
mon. Jack Gallagher of the Hous
ton Post will be among those in
the Gammon group. Gallagher,
a real pathfinder, is known as the
Daniel Boone of the golfing set.
Varsity football players will
serve as caddies and scorekeepers
during the tournament. This
could provide a problem; for,
after exploring the uncharted
lands that they may have to,
while hunting for balls, football
may no longer hold a challenge
for them.
The tournament’s players, who
are too busy turning out brilliant
columns and championship foot
ball teams to perfect their golf
game, are really not as bad as
the above makes them seem.
They just play that way.
terman Javier Vela at fullback.
The White defense will be lead
by last season All-America line
backer Billy Hobbs, tackle Rolf
Krueger and halfback Ross Brup-
bacher. Mike DiNero, another of
last season’s Fish team stand
outs, will be at end along with
senior Jerry Campbell. Three
lettermen, two sophs-to-be and
a red shirt make up the rest of
Powell’s defensive starters.
Leroy Hauerland at rover, Lynn
Fister and Arthur Cooley in the
secondary are the lettermen while
the first-year men are linebacker

At Colonial
FORT WORTH UP)_Billy Cas
per and Marty Fleckman cut two
shots from Colonial’s reluctant
par 70 Thursday and seized the
first round lead in the $125,000
National Invitation Golf Tourna
ment.
Casper, the current Los Ange
les Open king, rolled in a 14-
foot putt on the final hole for
a 35-33-68 in his bid for a second
Colonial crown.
Fleckman, 24, whose only tour
victory was the Cajun Classic
last year, strung together a
34-34-68 and narrowly missed
a long putt at 18 that would
have given him the lead out
right.
Casper started out in a light
mist and wound up under over
cast skies. The sun had broken
through the clouds several hours
later when Fleckman finished.
Fleckman and Casper held a
one-shot lead over Earl Stewart
Jr., Kel Nagle, Jack Montgomery
and Tommy Aaron.

guard Ronald Cole.
MOORE’S Maroon team will
feature the running of tailback
Larry Stegent, 1967 SWC sopho-
more-of-the-year, and fullback
Wendell Housley. Housley, a two-
year letterman, may be hamper
ed somewhat by an aggravated
left knee.
Last season’s second-string
quarterback and record-setting
place kicker Charlie Riggs will
be the Maroon signal-caller. His
pass-catchers will be wingback
Jack Whitmore, and ends Tommy
Buckman and Jimmy Adams.
The Maroon offensive line is
anchored by last season center
Jack Kovar. Other line starters

■s—
are Mike Caswell and Mark
Thomas, tackles, and Gary Gru-
ben and Jim Parker at guard.
ON THE defensive side, the
Maroons will have a few more
experienced hands. Harvey Asch-
enback at tackle, Lynn Odom at
middle guard, Jimmy Piper, end,
linebacker Buster Adami and
rover Ivan Jones, along with
safety Tommy Maxwell, make up
that seasoned group.
They will line up with ne»,
comers Roy Kirkpatrick, Alin
Hanson and Andy Tewell at ei
tackle and linebacker. Letterai;
Gaddy Wells and red shirt Join
Turney will be in the defemiti
secondary.

THE CHURCH FOR ALL . . .
ALL FOR THE CHURCH
The Church is the greatest
factor on earth for the building
of character and good citizen
ship. It is a storehouse of
spiritual values. Without a
strong Church, neither democ
racy nor civilization can sur
vive. There are four sound
reasons why every person
should attend services regu
larly and support the Church.
They are: (1) For his own
sake. (2) For his children’s
sake. (3) For the sake of his
community and nation. (4) For
the sake of the Church itself,
which needs his moral and
material support. Plan to go
to church regularly and read
your Bible daily.

Our 9A biology trip was a huge success. After we
saw the museum’s collection of rare lepidoptera, we
went outside to collect specimens. Then we ate lunch,
and took pictures. Here’s one with me, on the left,
laughing at Eddie. We were in a big discussion about
whether or not butterflies can feel.
While our teacher exchanged notes with the curator,
we sat around and talked. After butterflies, we started
on missiles and rockets, and whether or not there’s life
on the stars. Somehow, don’t ask me how, we got on
the subject of God.
You know, I didn’t realize how ignorant some kids
are about Him! All of a sudden, I found out how good
it is to have some ideas about where, what, and why,
I am. A few of those kids were really way out in left
field.
Now it’s up to me to show them what they have been
missing. I think I’ve talked them all into going to
church with me Sunday.
