Cancer forced amputation of the Texas safety's left leg. “I even enjoyed going out to practice every day,” Steinmark said. “You never realize what something means to you until you don’t have it anymore.” The Colorado native is mak ing good progress following the surgery last Friday at the Uni versity of Texas M. D. Ander son Hospital & Tumor Institute. Steinmark said he could not think of a bigger thrill in his life than his coming to Texas to wear the university’s orange and white. “I’m just sorry it had to end,” he said. “But sometimes good things have to come to an end. I just thank the good Lord that he gave me the chance to come down here and play.” He recalled that as a little kid he had dreamed about some day playing Notre Dame, the Jan. 1 Cotton Bowl opponent of Texas. The Church..For a Fuller Life..For You.. IllsR m- Three tvise and good men followed a star one night in search of truth, in search of peace. Their qtiest led them to a town called Bethlehem where lay an infant Babe. Then and there, new hope for mankind was born. Two centuries later, we are still on a desperate qiiest for peace. But as yet our path is not as easy as those who followed the light of a star, nor is it likely that we will find our ansiver in historic Bethlehem. But the message of that place is still as clear, still as strong, if only we xvill heed the words. . Seek Him, and you shall find Him . . . iru quiet con templation, in prayer, in church He waits to welcome you. Go to church this Sunday. Pray not only for your own needs, but for all the world!

Steinmark’s room is banked with floral tributes and gifts, many of which he has shared with other patients at Anderson. Arkansas, Texas Tech, Texas A&M, Rice, and Penn State are among the football teams that have sent gifts and messages. He has heard from strangers from coast to coast. “I can’t find the words to thank everybody,” he said. “I’m sure I’ll never be able to start talking and remember everybody who has been nice to me. The doctors and the people at this hospital have been just great, and I don’t want to for get Coach Darrell Royal, one of the greatest men I know.” Royal has been a frequent vis itor. Steinmark did not get to shake President’s Nixon’s hand when the President visited the Texas dressing room after the Arkan sas game. But he talked by tele phone for 15 minutes with the President last Sunday. “The President calling me was a big thrill but I’ve had one big thrill on top of another—so much that I don’t even worry about whatever it was that bothered me,” he said. 25 PLAYS AND NO TD ANNAPOLIS, Md. <A > >—When Syracuse beat Navy in football 15-0, Syracuse won the toss, elected to receive and held the ball for 25 plays or almost 13 minutes. But the Orange failed to score and finally lost posses sion when a field goal attempt was blocked. Grumblings heard around the campus say that this year’s basketball team is not playing like everyone expected them to. Most critics place the blame on the Aggies’ big men (i.e., Steve Niles, Rick Duplantis, etc.) because seemingly the way that they have performed in the first five games generally determined how the team as a whole played. Chuck Smith, the 6-5 postman-forward-point from Odessa has been the key player this year and no one could quarrel with his consistency. It seems like moving Smith to the high post position solved part of the problem as he hit for 18 points and got 20 rebounds against Colorado State Tuesday night. Unfortunately, Niles had his worst night of the year being held scoreless and grabbing only five rebounds and some of the local vocals say that he should turn in a better night regardless of the situation. Many advocate lighting a fire under the 7-foot junior to make him more aggressive, which might not be a bad idea except that when somebody as tall and as heavy as Niles gets riled up, he usually winds up on the bench with five fouls. Coach Shelby Metcalf probably summed it up best at the first of the season when he said that some of the younger players, specifically the sophomores, did not know what it would take to win basketball games in the Southwest Conference. There’s also been some talk about the impending danger of the special unofficial section where athletes sit at the north end of G. Rollie White during basketball games. One fan at the Colorado State game said he saw one of the members of that section get up with fists clenched when several players on the court got tangled up and rolled on the floor under the basket. Apparently, he arose to protect the honor of one of the Aggie players, but believe me, that’s the last thing that a player would want to see especially in a close game when a technical foul on the crowd could cost the team a win. Sure, the refereeing stinks at times, but cool it on taking matters into your own hands. It’s going to take Texas A&M a long time to live down a similar mistake like that made last year. Pokes’ Brown To Get Test DALLAS, Tex., </P) — Rookie Otto Brown gets the ultimate test at cornerback Sunday. He goes up against the top gun in the National Football League - quar terback Sonny Jurgensen of Washington. Dallas Cowboy coach Tom Lan dry said Wednesday “I’ll look with interest on how Brown han dles himself against Jurgensen. Even in the dummy scrimmages Would You Believe?

He knows but one speed—full speed." Brown was inserted into the lineup last week against Balti more and he played spectacular ly at both safety and cornerback. Brown intercepted a pass in the fourth period to help stave off a Colt rally in the 27-10 Dallas victory and Landry called it the “key play” of the game. Landry will use Brown against Cleveland in the Eastern Con ference playoff Dec. 28 if the Prairie View A&M product con tinues to shine. Asked if starting a rookie cor nerback goes against his coach ing doctorine, Landry said “No more than going with a rookie running back with a sore toe."
