Page 4 College Station, Texas Tuesday, May 20, 1969 THE BATTALION Sheffield Leads Maroons To Victory By RICHARD CAMPBELL In search of gold that glit ters, Head Football Coach Gene Stallings found some sparkling sophomores Saturday afternoon under the Texas sun in Kyle Field as the ‘ymmg’ Maroons outshown the Whites 21-8 before some 12,000 fans in the annual Texas A&M spring game. The student body was divided into separate cheering sections for the two teams to promote added interest in the game and increase the rivalry. Jimmy Sheffield, a junior let- terman from Houston Waltrip, was the big gun for the Maroons as he ignited an otherwise de fensive afternoon and generated a 21-point spree. Also singled out for his fine play was soph Roy Kirkpatrick, who caught 5 passes for 77 yards and a touch- Why not stop at PENISTON CAFETERIA and pick up a “FRESH - O - PACKAGE” of dougnuts. 7:00 a. m. to 1:15 p. m.

He had run as a second teamer until he got a chance to show his wares and bid for a first team spot. Marc Black, a big, (6-2, 207) bruising fullback for the Maroons ended as the game’s leading rusher chewing up 122 yards on 22 carries, most of these of the straight-ahead variety. Another sophomore who shined was Andy Tewell, a 6-2, 208 linebacker, credited with five unassisted tackles who hammered home his bid for a linebacker post. Just to prove that the Maroons couldn’t steal all of the thunder, Steve Luebbehusen, a soph-to-be in the fall was in on 16 tackles from his linebacker slot and will undoubt edly be considered in the running for a starting post in the fall. Both teams were plagued at first by an inability to move the football when neither Sheffield nor White quarterback Rocky Self, also a soph, could connect on passes. The first break came when Clifford Thomas recovered a loose football for the Maroons on a Doug Neill fumble and the Maroons were in business on the White 36. Sheffield carried for seven yards and a first down after a White offside to put the ball on the White 23. From there, Black bulled his way for first 11, then seven yards and Gary Arm- brister carried for two to set up the Maroons on the three. Arm- brister got the nod and crashed for the final three and the touch down. After Richard Baldeschi- ler missed the conversion, the score was 6-0. Sheffield connected on four straight passes, three to Kirk patrick, late in the second quar ter for the second Maroon score. Sheffield then hit Barney Harris for a two-point play and the score was 14-0. The Whites could muster no offense in the first half as the Maroon defense held them to 46 yards and only three first downs. The Maroons scored again as Black plunged one yard in the middle of the third stanza to raise the score to 21-0. The Whites finally got moving in the fourth quarter as Self and Neill took turns passing and running re spectively to give the Whites their biggest threat until Neill fumbled at the two and David Hoot recovered for the Maroons. But after an unsuccessful try the Maroons punted and the Whites finally cranked up and moved behind the passing of Self. He hit Ross Brupbacher for 12 yards, and after pass interfer ence for 23, hit Tom Sooy for 11 and Joey Herr for six to the 11-yard line. Self then rolled out and swept the final yards for the touchdown. Self found Steve Burks for two points on the conversion and the score ended 21-8.

The Aggie head coach filmed a segment for Curt Gowdy and ABC’s American Sportsman which will be shown next fall. “It would surprise me if we don’t have a pretty good football team next year,” Stallings said. “This has been the best spring since I’ve been here. The compe tition for positions has been bet ter than ever before.” In evaluating the final scrim mage of the spring, Stallings singled out such players as quar terback Jimmy Sheffield, fullback Marc Black, tight end Roy Kirk patrick, and linebackers Andy Tewell, Mike Caswell and Buster Adami for special praise. Sheffield strengthened his hold on the Aggies’ number one quar terbacking job with an impressive performance which included 9 of 15 passes for 108 yards and a touchdown and 48 yards rushing. “Quarterback is getitng more settled all the time,” Stallings commented. “Sheffield’s run more first team than any of the others.” Black, redshirt sophomore from New Mexico Military Institute, paced the day’s ground gainers with 122 yards on 22 carries and one touchdown. “Black is the quickest fullback we’ve had and he is just getting well after several knee injuries,” Stallings said. “He ran the fast est (4.6) 40 of anybody on our squad.” Stallings pointed out that the Aggies would be much younger and much more inexperienced than last season’s team but that he was hoping it would escape the rash of injuries which in vaded last year’s squad. “We will have 18 or 19 sopho mores who will play a lot of foot ball next season and that could be conservative,” the 34-year-old athletic director said. “Still I would rather have healthy Adami than a limping (Bill) Hobbs, a healthy (Lynn) Odom than a limping (Harvey) Aschenbeck, a healthy Black than a limping (Wendell) Housley and so on.” Charley McClendon, head coach of the LSU Tigers (A&M’s first opponent next fall), watched the game with Stallings just as the Aggie coach had viewed LSU’s final scrimmage with McClen don. ‘Considering everything, I think McClendon will enjoy his summer more than I will mine,” Stallings quipped.
