Jack Kovar One Of A&M’s
Most Overlooked Starters
The intramural story continues:
In Class A football, four teams now remain after the
first round of the playoffs. B-2, the C League champs, de
feated A-l, the representatives from League A, by the score
of 14-0. They will now go up against Squadron 11. The
White Band kicked a rare field goal but was edged by E-2,
6-3. F-2 must now face E-2 since they beat Squadron 3.
Though the game ended scoreless, the defense of F-2 was
too powerful, allowing Sqd. 2 but one forty-yardline pene
tration and no twenty-yardline penetrations.
Class C football action had College View defeating the
Vets, 22-7, and advancing to the semi-finals. They must
now face Monaco II and the winner of that game meets
Moore Hall for the championship.
In Class B, C-2 became the champion of table tennis by j
downing Squadron 2, two games to one. The Class B intra
mural standings have been compiled for the three sport
leaders in Table Tennis, Horseshies, and Basketball. They
are: (1) C-2 - 187 points; (2) A-2 - 185 points; (3) F-2 -
185 points; (4) Sqd. 9 - 180 points; (5) E-l - 180 points;
(6) Sqd. 2 - 177 points; (7) Sqd. 6 - 175 points (8) White
Band - 170 points.
Basketball competition for Class A and Class C will start
Tuesday, Nov. 5. The intramural staff could use more bas
ketball officials to run the leagues. If you are qualified and
interested, inquire at the intramural office for information
concerning your eligibility, schedule, and salary.
One of the most overlooked
starters among Texas A&M’s
football personnel is center Jack
Kovar who just this month turned
21.
But, being overlooked is noth
ing new to Jack.
He came to Texas A&M on his
own, although he had a few of
fers to attend other schools on
football scholarships. He wanted
to play for the Aggies, to follow
in the footsteps of his older
brother, Gary Kovar, who was
an all-SWC guard at A&M in
1966 when Jack was a struggling
freshman.
When Jack took part in his
first spring practice in April-
May of 1967, there were five
centers and he was the only one
not on a scholarship. When
spring training ended, Kovar was
listed as the first-team center.
“That goes to show that you
can never be absolutely certain
about your recruiting selections,”
Coach Gene Stallings later de
clared. It also pointed out that
where there’s a strong enough
will, there’s a way to win a
scholarship, which Jack Kovar
did.
Kovar was a guard in high

Here is the 1968 season. The zany, unpredict
able Southwest Conference season. Where under
dogs become topdogs on any given Saturday.
Where comparative scores, home field advantage
and other prognostic devices are thrown to the
winds. Where on the day of the game it’s just us
versus them and to hell with what happened last
week or last year. Yes, the Southwest Conference
has tradition — anyone can win, anyone can pull
the big shocker of the season and fate doesn’t
play favorites.

school at Houston Jones where
he was an all-city selection and
tri-captain of a team that ad
vanced to the state quarterfinals.
Oddly, Kovar, a high school
guard, is the Aggie center while
all around him high school cen
ters are playing guard and tackle.
Kovar started for the Aggies
as a sophomore and was on the
hungry outfit that rallied for six
straight SWC wins and the
league title before beating Ala
bama in the Cotton Bowl. This
year as a junior, he is one of the
few veterans in A&M’s young
offensive front.
His move to center was quite
sudden. He played freshman
football as a second-string guard
and then, in the spring, one day
he was notified that he’d been
switched to center. He quickly
learned his new assignments and
won the starting positions. Oth
ers, since have challenged him
for the position but he has al
ways emerged as number one.
Jack is a 6-1, 200-pounder, who
is dedicated to improving his per
formance all the time. He’s a
hard worker because football
means a lot to him. Else he’d
never have attempted to win a
scholarship on the practice field
of Aggieland.
He is the son of Mr. and Mrs.
E. W. Kovar of Houston.

“What is
your standard
foriMng?”
Some think the best
standard to live by is
what “works."
But what “works" today
often doesn’t “work"
tomorrow. Material standards
are changeable and fallible.
The only standard that
doesn’t change is the one that
can make the most difference
in your life. It is God's
spiritual standard of
excellence.
In this free public lecture,
Norman B. Holmes, C.S.B.,
a member of The Christian
Science Board of Lectureship,
cites several specific examples
of individuals who have
found that adherence to God’s
standard as presented by
Jesus has vastly uplifted their
lives, brought better employ
ment, improved human
relationships and health itself.
Everyone is welcome.
