DeNiro’s number retired this year By CLIFFORD BROYLES Battalion Sports Editor No. 89, one that for the past two seasons identified one of the outstanding defensive players in the country, the late Mike DeNiro, will not be worn by a Texas Aggie this season. This would have been the two time All-Southwest Conference defenisve end’s senior season with the Aggies. He was killed in an auto accident last January. Coach Gene Stallings gives credit to Assistant Head Coach Elmer Smith for the fact that the Aggies usually have an outstanding punter each year. The list of great punters includes Phil Scoggin, Steve O’Neal and now Jimmy Sheffield and Mitch Robertson. Although both have been punting exceptionally this fall, Sheffield will probably do most of the punting. Defensive guard Van Odom claims that sophomore running back Brad Dusek is harder to tackle than Steve Worster of the University of Texas at Austin, but added that Worster was a powerful blocker. “Blocking is my big weakness, something I’m going to have to work on and improve,” Dusek said. Dusek, being issued the no. 44, last worn by Heisman Trophy winner John David Crow in 1957, said, “I feel greatly honored. Maybe someday I can do justice to it.” Jack Kovar, starting center for the past three years on the Aggie football team and winner of the Aggie Heart Award last year, came to A&M without a scholarship. Now that he has gone another non-scholarship athlete, is a top candidate for his position. Mike Park is a sophomore from Huntville who was red-shirted last year. Bruce and Boice Best, sophomore brothers on the Aggie football team, are not twins as has been often publicized. Bruce, a candidate for the defensive line or linebacker, was born March 28, 1950, and Boice, the number one left defensive guard, was bom May 23, 1951. There may be little home town flare in the fight for two positions on the A&M squad this fall. Max Bird and Barb Hinnant, who are battling for the right defensive end spot, are both from Amarillo Tasocsa High School and Joey Herr and Tommy Goodwin, both split ends, are from Fort Worth Eastern Hills. The Fightin’ Texas Aggie Band directed by Col. E. V. Adams will be on hand for nine of the 11 Aggie games. Only the Ohio State and Michigan games will miss the pure version of the “Aggie War Hymn” this fall. They will be making then- first trip to LSU in several years this season. Dave Elmendorf, the Aggies prize defensive back and baseball player can’t really decide on which sport he likes best. “In the fall I like football and in the spring I like baseball.” The Aggies will go to the airways tonight and Friday night as two area television stations will present their one-hour shows on the Southwest Conference football. KCEN-TV, Channel 6 in Waco will have its hour long special tonight at 9 p.m. and KTRK-TV Channel 13 in Houston will have its show at 9 p.m. Friday. Coach Gene Stallings’ weekly radio show will be heard on radio station KORA in Bryan locally each Saturday at 11:45 a.m. ISTERS toKteJj® t«M next spring’. 10 KUSI*;’ ’s). iSiti iticker* ’ ;ers • f>\ Loupotilj 13511' ■lie fil* • d I35tfi PALACE Br«an'2'$#79 NOW SHOWING Nominee Best Picture “Z” “uS “SS books i 1 MS mtpm Today—1:45-4:15-6:45-9:15 Clint Eastwood In “KELLY’S HEROES’ Still 1 ' 'to < a rm<>0; rand 8, rinatS' yed austs *rs, aps. ■eded I ex- rs tors ts Tex3 s QUEEN last nite _ 7:15 - 9 as Adult Art Series “FAIRY TALES FOR ADULTS” i'|ii. ar c nc.'^n )fcyiVA>r" ■i6MN B 12 Yf ACS' VRIY ^ST SCREEN AT 8:00 P.
