Jack Kovar Chosen
Aggie Heart Winner
Jack Kovar, who came to Texas
A&M without a scholarship and
stayed around to start at center
for three varsity seasons, Satur
day night was the recipient of
the fifth annual Aggie Heart
Award at A&iM’s football ban
quet.
The selection was made earlier
by a vote of the varsity football
squad but the winner was not
announced until Coach Gene Stall
ings called Kovar forth to re
ceive the five-foot high trophy.
The award is based on effort,
desire and determination and the
winner is one who gave his ut
most, both in practice and in
games.
Past winners were Joe Well
born, linebacker from Tomball in
1965; Dan Westerfield, defensive
back from Crawford in 1966;
Grady Allen, defensive end from
Nacogdoches in 1967 and Tom
Buckman, tight end from Fort
Worth in 1968.
Kovar, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Edward W. Kovar of Houston,
was an all-city and all-zone guard
while playing for Houston Jones
High. He came to A&M on his
own and won a scholarship in the
spring of his freshman year.
He was A&M’s starting center
for three seasons, despite being
relative small (6-1 and from 185
to 200) and never missed a down
because of injury.
“He’s a youngster who gave
everything he had,” Stallings
said.
The award goes to a senior by
squad vote but Stallings broke
precedent Saturday night when
he announced that he had ordered
a duplicate trophy this year to
be presented posthumously to
Mike DeNiro, the great junior de
fensive end who died in an auto
mishap Jan. 23 near New Or
leans.
DeNiro’s trophy will be pre
sented later to his parents, Mr,
and Mrs. Carl DeNiro of Youngs
town, Ohio.
The banquet was sponsored by
the Aggie Club and was held in
the west wing of Duncan Hall on
the A&M campus. John Hopkins,
Executive Vice-president of tbe
Aggie Club, was the master of
ceremonies. There was no prin
cipal speaker.
Mile Relay Team
Wins at Ft. Worth
By Clifford Broyles
Battalion Sports Writer
The Texas A&M mile relay
team won its specialty Friday
night at the Tenth Annual Fort
Worth Coaches Indoor Games at
the Fort Worth Convention Cen
ter.
In fact there was very little
doubt that the Aggies would not
win after Marvin Mills, younger
brother of the Aggies’ world
champion quartermiler Curtis
Mills, ran a sizzling 48.1 opening
leg and finished more than 20
yards ahead of his four pursuers.
Harold McMahon and Willie
Blackmon then followed with
blistering times of 48.3 and 48.5
respectively to put the cindermen
well in front of the pack. Curtis
Mills ran the anchor leg in 47.8.
The result was at least a sev
enty-yard lead for the Aggies
over runnerup Texas, and a new
state record for a 10-lap indoor
track.
The Aggies ran a 3:13.5 with
the Longhorns out-distancing
Texas Christian and Texas Tech
with a 3:20.8 for second place.
The mile relayers weren’t the
only Aggies to make their pres
ence felt to the 7,414 fans that
were on hand for the meet.
High jumper Marvin Taylor
took second place with a leap of
6’8”, losing only to Joe Davis of
Dallas Baptist College on fewer
misses after both cleared that
height.
Blackmon was nudged at the
tape by Roger Colgazier of Abi
lene Christian College in the 600
yard dash.
The freshman from Houston
Wheatley High School, however,
tied the old state record of 1:11.1.
Colgazier’s record time was
1:10.9.
Don Kellar, a junior college
transfer in his first year with
the Aggies, placed fourth in that
event with 1:12.6.
Former Aggie Randy Matson
did as everyone expected by
walking away with the honors in
the shot put with a toss of 65T,
The Aggie cindermen will be
in action this weekend at Houston
in the National Federation Meet
in the Astrodome.
