Junior Dave Elmendorf (6-1, 196) was named at safety. James Street, the do-it-all quar terback for the Texas Longhorns, was selected as the Player of The Year. The SWC coaches picking the team felt that Street’s all- around ability in running the Wishbone T offense of the Long horns made him the most valu able player. Oddly, Street finished second in the balloting for the first team quarterback spot behind SMU’s Chuck Hixson. Other first team- ers selected were wide receivers Gary Hammond of SMU and Cotton Speyer of Texas, tackles Bob McKay and Bobby Wuensch, both of Texas, guards Jerry Dos- sey of Arkansas and James Ray of TCU and center Rodney Brand of Arkansas. Joining Stegent in the back- field were Bill Burnett of Arkan sas and Jim Bertelsen of Texas with Steve Worster of Texas at fullback. On defense, Bill Atessis of Texas and Richard Campbell of Tech joined DeNiro at end with Rick Kersey of Arkansas joining Odom at tackle. The linebackers were Glen Hal- sell of Texas, Cliff Powell of Arkansas, and Bruce Portillo of SMU. The defensive backs were Denton Fox of Tech, Terry Stew art of Arkansas, and Pat Curry of SMU joining Elmendorf. THE BATTALION Wednesday, December 3, 1969 College Station, Texas Page 9 Here’s One Driver Who Doesn’t Mind Scraps By Hans Adam Battalion Staff Writer “You have to convince yourself that you can’t win, and make up your mind to run for what’s left.” That was the reaction of E. J. Trivette of Atlanta, when asked how it feels to race against fac tory sponsored racing teams. “You can’t possible win, so you just lay back and pick up what the ‘hot dogs’ don’t want, said Trivette. He has been doing a whale of a job of picking up scraps all season. Trivette, who has been active in stock car racing for over 15 years, has been running among the point leaders all year. With a finish at Texas International Speedway’s first annual Texas 500 he could share in the more than $100,000 that is deposited in the drivers’ point fund, Trivette said. At Sunday’s race, which starts at 1 p.m., look for Trivette’s white Chevelle with the red num ber “08” in the back of the pack and remember that this is “grass roots racing the way it was in the old days.” Trivette, whose best finish this year was a 13 place finish at the Firecracker 400 in Daytona, does all his racing without support of any kind, according to him. Trivette said the biggest blow to the independent racer is Fire stone’s decision to get out of racing. “With no competition tire prices are going to go out of sight.” According to Trivette, he may try as many as eight sets just for this race. Each track requires a different type of tire, Trivette said. When asked about his choice of car Trivette said “It’s cheaper.” Trivette went on to explain that while he is able to purchase any thing “Chevrolet makes,” Ford Independents are unable to buy the good parts that make the factory teams so competitive. He went on to say that while Chevro let is not producing “racing” hardware those parts that he is able to purchase make him more pendents with their “wore out and competitive than the Ford inde- obsolete hardware.” MAN, MORAUTY & SOCIETY SEMINAR AIRLINE RESERVATIONS & TICKETS 30-DAY CHARGE-FREE DELIVERY d3everley.
