THE BATTALIOItlHE
’Shockers defense, size impress Gene
By CLIFFORD BROYLES
Battalion Sports Editor
Although the Texas Aggies
have been labeled as favorites in
most comers for their opener
with Wichita State, the visitors
from Kansas hope to have dif
ferent plans when they visit Kyle
field Saturday night at 7:30 p. m.
Coach Gene Stallings, at the
annual press day facilities last
week said that from viewing films
of the Shockers and seeing their
spring game in person, he felt
they had a good team but he
couldn’t get nobody to believe
him. Wichita had a 2-8 record
last year.
Stallings was most impressed
with the size of the Shockers,
who outweigh the Aggies at 11
positions and are extremely big
on defense.
The Shockers front four, of
Keith Morrison, 6-0 220, and Dave
Lewis, 6-4 205, at the ends and
Don Pankratz, 6-2 220, and
Charles Harrington, 6-2 220, at
the tackles has impressive cre
dentials.
Pankratz and Morrison, both
seniors, have two letters apiece.
Lewis, junior, lettered last year.
Stallings classified Pankratz
as a “great defensive tackle.”
Their linebackers are also ex
cellent and therein lies the Wheat-
shockers’ big weapon.

Senior John Hoheisel, 6-4 220,
team captain is an All-American
candidate. Hoheisel, will probably
go high in the pro draft because
of his size and speed. He runs
the 40-yard dash in 5.1. He is
considered the most aggressive
player on the WSU squad and
has proven his leadership by being
unanimously elected team captain.
Glen Kostal and Steve Moore
are the other linebackers Moore,
a senior, has two letters and
graded 90 per cent in spring
practices. Kostal had 39 unas
sisted tackles, 40 assists and two
fumbles recoveries.
The defensive backfield returns
a letterman at each position, with
Don Christian and Randy Kiesau
earning letters as sophomores last
season. Ron Johnson is the vet
eran with two letters at left safe
ty. John Taylor has been moved
into the secondary after lettering
as a wide receiver last year.
The offense is lesser in depth
with only 8 letterman back and
seven of those were starters.
The Shockers’ offensive line has
three returning junior letterman
in guard Rich Stephens and
tackles Mike Bruce and Tom
Shedden. Sophomores will step
in at center, where Kim Cocklin
is highly rated and quick and at
guard where Richard Stines is
the starter.
The Wichita backfield is also
a veteran machine. Quarterback
Bob Renner, a junior who started
last year, guides the attack.
MHe’s a big strong kid and an
excellent punter,” Stallings said
of the guy who passed for 597
yards and punted for a 40.1 aver
age on 70 kicks.
“A great running back”, was
the classification Stallings put
on senior fullback Randy Jack-
son, whose home town is Atlanta
in East Texas. Jackson will pro
bably be the man to stop in the
backfield. He ran for 469 yards
last year and in the spring game
wheeled off 240 yards and scored
three touchdowns.
Tom Owen returns in the offen
sive backfield and sophom
Marvin Brown earned a startii;
spot during spring training.
Split end Gene Robinson con
be the difference in a close gai
He possesses 9.5 speed and thi
faster than any Aggie. Seniitlff??
letterman Bob Hayes returns i
tight end.
With a good mixture of veteifl
ans who are backed up by i
tested sophomores, the Shockij
could cause some problems.
Problems the Aggies hope!*
prevent after the 7:30 p. m. kick
off on Kyle Field Saturday.
A&M Consolidated
gridders open play
McDermott booms
51-yd. field goal
The Texas Aggies worked in
shorts, under the lights, Wednes
day and their performance put a
smile on Coach Gene Stallings’
face.
“I feel a little better,” he said.
“I thought they looked a little
better. Of course there was no
contact but they looked sharper
and the kicking game was better.”
The Aggies worked on various
phases of their game, preparing
for Wichita State’s Saturday
night invasion of Kyle Field.
Guard Van Odom led the
charge during work on goal line
defense and safety Dave Elmen-
dorf picked off a few aerials
during work on pass defense.
Offensively, quarterback Lex
James and wingback Rocky Self
combined on several fine passing
plays. James was throwing the
ball well and Self stood out
among the receivers.
Soccer-style place kicker Pat
McDermott brought cheers from
the fans when he booted a 51-
yard field goal. Jimmy Sheffield
and Mitch Robertson continued
to boom punts high and long.
The Aggies have two more
practice sessions and no more
contact before their 7:30 p.m.
Saturday meeting with Wichita.
The A&M Consolidated Inde
pendent School District opens its
1970 football season this week
end with three games on tap for
the local teams.
The weekend opens with the
Consolidated freshmen hosting
Conroe at 7p.m. tonight on Tiger
field. The Tiger varsity will
open its season Friday night at
8 p.m. when it hosts Dallas
Carter. The A&M Consolidated
junior varsity will travel to Nor-
mangee for a 2 p.m. contest Sat
urday afternoon.
Freshman coach Manuel Gar
cia said he expects a tough con
test for tonight’s game but is
confident his team will make a
good showing.
Coach Garcia complimented his
linebackers, Bobby Williams and
Mark Robinson, for their top play
in their scrimmage with Whar
ton.
“Randy Dooley at tackle
showed marked improvement in
Saturday night’s ’ scrimmage,'
Garcia said. Fullback Norris
Britton and quarterback Clifford
Dayton were standouts in the
backfield.
Faculty bowling
time changed
Members of the Staff-Faculty
Bowling League will bowl 10 min
utes earlier this season when
thep open play Monday night.
This was announced by Presi
dent David R. Bowers, who said
this will allow more time to finish
before the next league rolls. The
6:15 p.m. warm-up and 6:20 start
were requested by team members
and by the Triangle Bowl man
agement.
Team captains are asked to
contact Secretary Wallis McMath
at the Data Processing Center if
they need bowlers to fill out their
team this year. Those wishing to
bowl regularly or substitute are
also asked to call McMath or be
at Triangle Bowl Monday night.
