Corky is new and old football player
(Editor’s note: This is the
third in a series of articles about
the A&M football program done
by a team of Journalism 204 stu
dents and submitted to The Bat
talion for publication.)
By WENDELL SCHRONK
The football program at A&M
has a new head coach in Emory
Bellard, and Bellard has a new
and old player in Corky Shef
field.
Sheffield is a new player to
Bellard, but an old player at
A&M.
Sheffield was a graduate of
Duncanville where he played high
school ball. He came to A&M in
the 1968-69 season as a freshman
on a scholarship. He played var
sity football the next season at
a cornerback position.
After the 1969-70 season Shef
field gave his scholarship back to
Gene Stallings, then head coach.
“I didn’t like the system and
the way Coach Stallings
coached,” Sheffield said. He ex
plained Stallings didn’t give the
assistant coaches enough say. “I
also feel he sometimes worked
the team too hard during the
week getting them ready for the
game,” he added.
“I was always treated fairly by
Coach Stallings and still have re
spect for him. I feel that Stall
ings was respected by everyone
connected with the team.”
Sheffield said Bellard is a
great coach and cannot be com
pared to Stallings because of
their different styles. “Bellard
works with and for his associates
on and off the field,” Sheffield
commented.
“Coach Bellard leaves the job
of coaching the defense and of
fensive lines to his assistants and
concentrates mainly on the offen
sive backs. Stallings was always
working with each segment of
the team and took supreme con
trol. Also, Bellard isn’t as much
a strict advocate of discipline as
Coach Stallings was.”
Sheffield has one year of eligi
bility left and may add a tre
mendous boost to the Aggie team
at his cornerback position. He
said he felt the Wishbone forma
tion will give the Aggie offense
the lift it needs with Donnie Wig-
ginton coaching the players who

will be running it. Sheffield said
Wigginton is a great person and
coach who has developed into a
loyal Aggie.
“If the people at A&M could
have seen Coach Wigginton at
the basketball game between
Texas and us, then they would
know what type of coach he will
be,” he commented.
“I feel certain we can win all
the games we play this season,
but I will be disappointed if we
don’t win at least six,” he added.
“The new atmosphere and support
that has been created will give
our team the spark it has needed
in the past. Coaches Wigginton
and Bellard, along with the great
players that already have signed
will turn a losing team into the
team everyone wants at A&M.”
Sheffield said he felt lucky to
be associated with this new Ag
gie team and he is glad he can
work under the leadership of a
coach like Bellard.
“You know Coach Bellard is in
control,” Sheffield said.
