THE BATTALION
Bellard, Edwards make big bit with Dallas Aggies
M Wiaatec U inevitable at T«x-
M A AM,” Esmmt Ballard told
tb* Dallas A AM Clob Friday at
Taxaa Stadium. “With the staff
we’ve gat aad some of the taleat
available, the Ante* will be in
there fighting every time.
“I might not be very tan,” he
continued, “bat when Pm intro
duced as the head coach of Texas
A AM, I stand tall with a lot of
gride. I may aot be very big, bat
Pm every inch an Aggie."
The crowd went wild, to say
This was the scene SO times
this summer, as Bellard crossed
the state speaking to A AM Chib
meetings.
Dallas was the last of the
Coach's Night programs, aad fall
workouts begin Thursday. Dallas
was hperislt though, and the at
tendance figure of 800 was not
the only reason.
The event eras held in the
Stadium Clob in Irving, and the
stops wore pulled out for putting
on the beet show possible Mas
ter of ceremonies was Roy Ed
wards, former sports writer for
the Dallas Morning News and
now sports editor of the Mem
phis, Tenn. Commercial Appeal.
The head coaches of all the
AAM sports and the football
coaching staff were present,
along with administrative per
sonnel from the athletic depart
ment.
Some of the Dallas alumni are
among the top people in AAM
support organisations. Among
these are Bob Latimer, president
of the Association of Former
Students, and some 16 Twelfth
Man Scholarship donors for the
Aggie Club
Special targets for some of
Edwards’ remarks were former
AAM basketball players Eddie
Dominguez and Terry Trippett.
Edwards is president of the Bas
ketball Writers Association, but
he is better known to AAM peo
ple as the columnist who had
several misunderstanding* with
former AAM Coach Gene Stall-
‘r H .
•Here I am; all yours,” Ed
wards told the crowd after being
introduced. "Just don’t hit this
mgroon coat, because 1 borrowed
it from Eddie Domingues.”
Edwards revealed that he bad
been a card-carrying member of
the Dallas AAM Club for several
years. It is widely known that
many of the more influential
Aggies are rloee personal friends
with the veteran sports writer.
“Superstar,’’ as he is called,
spiced up the program with sev
eral Teasip jokes. When It eras
mentioned that AAM was work
ing on s joint program with the
Baylor School of Medicine, Ed
wards asked Shelby Metcalf, the
Aggie basketball coach, if that
meant there would be better side
line treatment for him nt Waco
basketball games.
One of Edwards’ remarks prob
ably sums up the hopes of AAM
more than anyone else could ex
press;
"Thinking that Texas AAM
will loss with Emory Bellard is
like thinking that Darrell Royal
will abandon the running gmige
at Texas and hire Hayden Fry
(the Southern Methodist coach)
to coordinate a new passing at
tack.”
David Hoot trying to earn job with the Oilers
“Tackls made by Number 26,
David Hoot.*
That announcement is familiar
to Aggie football fans after four
years of -watching the 6-2, 200
pounder punish opponents.
But that tackle identification
is being made this year in the
Astrodome, and Hoot is number
26 for the Houston Oilers of for
mer Rice coach Bill Peterson.
An A U-South west Conference
performer here, Hoot was draft
ed for professional football by
the Loe Angeles Rams. Ha was
cut after eight days 1q training
camp, and the Oilers picked kim
up right away.
Hoot saw considerable action
in the toee to the Dallas Cowboys
two weeks ago, and he played the
entire second and third quarters
and s good portion of the final
period last Thursday in the
Houston Post Charity Game with
the Chkagtf Bears.
He delighted the crowd with
some hard tackling, and his re
covery of s fumble halted a Baar
touchdown drive. One of the moet
potent Chicago offensive weapons
was lefty quarterback Bobby
Douglass’ pump and run, but this
was never used with Hoot in the
game.
“1 thought it was the end of
the world when I was cut by the
Rama,” Hoot said after the rule
book loss to the Bears. “I was
glad Houston wanted me, because
1 didn’t want to be going all over
the country trying to get a job
with somebody.” Hoot is s grad
uate of Reagan High in the Space
City.

, “Fro ball isn’t that much dif
ferent from college.” he ex
plained. ‘There are more defen
sive calls, and you’ll get killed if
you stand around before the
whistle’s blown, but once you’ve
reached s certain point, football’s
all basically the same.”
Another Aggie hi the game was
Bear linebacker Rosa Brupbach-
er, a second-year starter in his
third pro season. Brupbacher fits
into the Chicago pattern of hard-
noeed defense, paced by middle
linebacker Dick Butlrus.

“It looks to me like David Hoot
has won himself a job,” Brup
bacher said after the game. “I
think he’ll do real well in Hous
ton. Ha’s a good one.”
Another Aggie was a part of
the game, although his contribu
tion was off the field. Pro!, the
official publication of the Na
tional Football League, featured
an article by Dave Eimendorf of
the Rams. “Diary of a Rookie”
is the story of the preseason days
of the All-American safety with
the Loe Angeles team a year ago.
