THE BATb
A&M a man short when winning field goal was kicked Saturd
By JOHN CURYLO
Not only was a new record made
by Pat McDermott’s 53 yard field
goal, but an old Aggie tradition
was almost changed.
The standing A&M student
body, known as the Twelfth Man,
could have helped out on this
play, because only 10 men were
on the field for the Aggies.
When a field goal is being at
tempted, Coach Gene Stallings
sends John Gardner in to hold
and McDermott or another place
kicker in to kick. The wingback
and the quarterback come out,
with the fullback and tailback
moving into the up-back spots
next to the ends.
However, with Robert Gerasi-
mowicz out of action with an in
jury, Ted Smith was to center
for the field goal, replacing Skip
Kuehn, so Gardner went in a play
early. By college rules, no more
than two players can be substi
tuted at a time unless the ball
has changed hands.
When Smith and McDermott
went in, right up-back Marc Black
thought that someone was coming
in for him, so he ran off the field
to avoid a penalty for having too
many men on the field.
“I was yelling for time out,”
Stallings said, “but nobody on the
field could hear me with that
wind. They put on a heavy rush,
but it was to our protected side.
I guess our luck’s changing.”
McDermott, a junior from Dal
las Bishop Dunne, bumped Randy
Sims from the Aggie record book
with the 53 yard kick. The 5-9,
160 pounder learned the soccer-
style kick while in high school
from his brother, who was attend
ing Michigan State.
“I didn’t know how far it was
when I lined it up,” McDermott
said. “I just put the tee six yards
behind the line of scrimmage. It
went real high, so I thought it
had a chance. When it was over
the 20 yard line, it looked good,
but then it dropped fast. When
I saw how close it was, it scared
the wind, but Stallings ni
other reason.
At his postgame press confer
ence, Stallings said that with the
wind, he knew A&M could kick
the field goal, but he didn’t know
whether McDermott or Roberto
Payan would be the one to do it.
“Roberto can kick it farther,”
he explained, “but he hasn’t had
the experience against the rush
ing line that Pat has. Besides,
Roberto wasn’t at practice Thurs
day to work on his kicking; he
was having his visa renewed.”
Payan is a native of Bogota, Co
lombia.

like broken plays were really

McMurry drops sports grants;
may form new football league
ABILENE (A*) — McMurry Col
lege said Monday it is dropping
scholarships for intercollegiate
football and track in favor of
strict amateur competition.
Dr. Thomas Kim, president of
the Methodist college, also said
McMurry is exploring the possi
bility of forming a new football
conference that “will play purely
non-subsidized amateur intercol
legiate football.”
McMurry is a member of the
Lone Star Conference.
Dr. Kim said he acted on in
structions from McMurry trustees
at their fall session.
The board passed a recommen
dation of its athletic committee
“that we declare a moratorium
on new football and track schol
arships and study the possibility
of moving into a new conference
that would be interested in play
ing non-scholarship athletics.”
“I wish to emphasize that this
action of the board absolutely
does not mean that McMurry Col
lege will discontinue intercolle
giate football competition,” Dr.
Kim said.
“McMurry will continue to play
intercollegiate football with teams
which have a philosophy similar
to that enunciated by our board
of trustees,” he said.
He also said that existing schol
arships will be honored.
The McMurry board said the
college’s intercollegiate basket
ball program was exempt from
the scholarship moratorium.
McMurry coaches informed the
school’s athletes of the new pro
gram Monday morning. Dr. Kim
told the faculty through the mail
at the same time.
The recommendation was ap
proved unanimously by the ath
letic committee of the board.
Dr. Kim said “Active explora
tion and negotiations are now
underway among several colleges
to form a geographically com
pact league which will play pure
ly non-subsidized amateur inter
collegiate football.”
Tech’s Jim Carlen is not complaining
about referee’s controversial call
LUBBOCK (SP) — Texas Tech
Jim Carlen said Monday he had
no real beef on a controversial
safety call Saturday involving
Marc Dove in Southern Method
ist’s 18-17 victory over the Red
Raiders.
Carlen said, “there is no way
I would question an official’s
judgment on a close call.”
He said one referee told him
on the sidelines that Dove caught
the ball in the end zone but the
reason it was a safety was be
cause he threw the ball out of the
end zone.
Carlen said “you coach kids if
it’s anything over the 10-yard
line you let it go.”
But he said the reason Dove
intercepts passes and returns so
well is that he breaks on the ball.
“I can’t jump on Dove because
I can’t take his incentive away,”
Carlen said.
On recruiting matter, Carlen
said Oklahoma is hitting West
Texas hard now. “They contact
them when they are juniors and
we can’t even contact a kid until
the last game of his senior sea
son,” Carlen said. “It’s hard to
catch up when they get a six-
month running start.”
Charles Napper and Joe Barnes
both got hurt against SMU.
“Right now our quarterback
thing is a question and I may not
know who will start,” Carlen said
of Saturday’s game with Rice.
Carlen said “Rice is a better
football team than SMU. They
are the best throwing team we
have met so far. Texas just took
the ball and kept it against them.”
He said Stable Vincent was a
better all-around runner than
SMU’s Alvin Maxson because he’s
stronger.
“I congratulate Hayden Fry at
SMU because he has done one
heckuva fine job with his ball
club,” Carlen said.
