Steinmark held back tears as
he talked softly about his foot
ball days, days that were halted
abruptly just six days after play
ing in the nationally televised
Texas-Arkansas game.
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.

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! Pray for peace! Goodwill
to all men!

“I was looking: forward to play
ing- Notre Dame in the Cotton
Bowl,” he said. “I won’t get a
chance to play, but I’m still
happy my teammates will play.”
Doctors have indicated there
is a chance Steinmark can be
flown to Dallas so he can be on
the sideline with his teammates
during the game.
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

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

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."
