Revisits Scene
Of Best Game
Wendell Housley, the big, swift
fullback from Richardson, returns
to the scene of his greatest game
this week when he and his Texas
Aggies invade Waco to play the
Baylor Bears.
It was two years ago, on
regional TV, when Housley was a
sophomore talback. That after
noon he set a school record with
33 carries in a workhorse per
formance as the Aggies captured
a nerve wracking 17-13 win. He
g-ained 127 yards that afternoon
and it was this game that aided
greatly in his being named to
some all-SWC teams.
Housley was hurt much of his
junior season but was fit as a
fiddle on New Year’s afternoon
and it was his two power runs
off guard that put the icing on
a 20-16 victory over Alabama in
the Cotton Bowl.
It was expected that the big
blond would be ready for a tre
mendous senior season to cap his
career at Aggieland. But, during
the first three days of fall prac
tice, while the squad still was in
shorts, Housley twisted a knee
and had to sit out A&M’s first
three games. He saw his first
action when Larry Stegent was
hurt early in the Texas Tech
game and carried 19 times for
69 yards. Last Saturday night
against TCU he carried 15 times
for 37 yards.
Neither of those two games are
up to Housley’s usual perform
ance but if his injured knee con
tinues to improve he could break
out of his running slump this
week.
A healthy Housley is as good
a running back as there is in the
SWC. He is 6-2 and 210 and has
run a 9.7 in track since coming
to A&M. He runs with great
authority and bruises would-be
tackiers.
Noted as a ball carrier, Hous
ley’s greatest asset as a fullback
is his blocking. He is the best
blocking back on the Aggie squad
and it was his clearing block that
sent tailback Jimmy Sheffield on
a 19-yard TD run against Tech
and on a 63-yard scamper against
TCU.
Housley would be a tremendous
star in one-platoon football. Actu
ally it was his defensive ability
that first attracted recruiter
Elmer Smith’s attention.
Wendell rushed for 548 yards
as a sophomore and netted 196
last year in limited action.
With Baylor well rested after
an off week, the Aggies likely will
need an outstanding job from
Housley this week as they seek
to keep their SWC title hopes
alive.
Ths could be the week that the
big Aggie warhorse really comes
to life.
