THE BATTAUC
Without Six, Freshman Team Still To Be Rugged
By KEVIN COFFEY
Texas A&M’s freshman football
team, minus six stellar perform
ers due to the freshman eligibility
rule, are hard at work learning
and preparing for the Rice Owlets
on Sept. 28.
Through the first 25 workouts
the Fish seem to be picking up
the complexities of the Wishbone
offense and should round-out into
a fine squad.
Head Freshman Coach Paul
Register surveys the team’s
strength as being their size and
lack of depth as the major weak
ness. Register takes control of
the defensive unit while Coach
Donnie Wigginton tends to the
offensive duties.
Rex Norris is the freshman line
coach.
The Fish will run the same of
fense and defense as the varsity,
namely the Wishbone T and a 4-3
defense. Coach Register feels that
the reason for having a Fish team
is to prepare players for future
varsity action and the best way
to do this is to run the same for
mation the varsity does.
The Wishbone will be lead by
Dale Ammons (6-2, 195) an all
district quarterback from Pampa.
The fullback is Bucky Sams (5-11,
190) a two-year all-city performer
for Amarillo Tascosa. The half
backs at this early stage of the
game are Ronnie Hubby (5-10,
195) all-state back from Clovis,
N. M., and Pat Thomas (5-10,
178), an all-state performer from
Plano.
The offensive line has Henry

Tracy (6-2, 215), an all-state
product of Houston Sam Houston,
starting at the center spot. Flank
ing Tracy are guards Tyrone
Wright (6-0, 185), all-district
from Del Valley, and Dennis
Smelser (6-5, 237), all-state both
offensively and defensively from
Odessa Permian. Due to the lack
of depth, Smelser is also the start
ing defensive right tackle.
The offensive tackles are Scott
Knippa (6-1, 218), all-South Tex
as from Kingsville, on the left
side, and Glenn Bujnoc (6-5, 225),
all-American from Houston Mt.
Carmel High. Bujnoch also goes
both ways, doubling as defensive
left end.
The receiving crew consists of
tight end David Greeno (6-0,
190), all-star game participant
from Albuquerque, N. M., and
Bill Newton (5-11, 174) at split
end, a walk-on from Kansas.
The defensive unit consists of
Blake Swartz (6-3, 215), all-dis
trict from Houston Memorial, at
right end, and two-way starter
Bujnoc at left end.
The tackles are Kent Krueger
(6-5, 260), younger brother of
Rolf Krueger and a fine prospect
in his own right, at the left side
and Smelser, a repeater from the
offense.
The linebackers are Carl
Warnke (6-0, 210), all-district
from Castroville, in the middle,
Garth Ten Naple, all-district from
Euless, and Kim Scott (6-1, 200),
honorable mention all-district
from Dallas Bryan Adams, on
the outsides.
The defensive backs consist of
Pat Thomas, holdover from the
offense with 4.6 speed in the 40-
yard dash, at right corner and
Charles Arndt (5-11, 175), all
district from Cuero, at left corner.
The safeties are Doug Wood (6-1,
185), all-district from Arlington
High, and left safety Jackie Wil
liams (5-10, 170), honorable men
tion all-state.
This year’s Fish team has more
out-of-state players than the
other three classes coratii

Olympics Continue After Arab Attacl
By JOHN VINOCUR
Associated Press Writer
MUNICH (A»)_With the Olym
pics resumed, the West German
government has ordered a full-
scale investigation of the terror
ism and police action which com
bined to kill 11 members of the
Israeli team and five Arab guer
rillas.
Officials insisted Wednesday
that the airport shootout which
resulted in 15 deaths was neces
sary in an effort to save the
Israeli hostages. The plan failed
—all nine hostages died along
with five terrorists and a German
policeman.
Two Israelis died earlier when
the terrorists first invaded their
quarters at the Olympic Village.
Then, late Tuesday night, the
terrorists and the surviving Is
raelis were taken to an airport
in an ostensible program to fly
them all to the Middle East.
German authorities had become
convinced that “a flight out of
this country would have meant
certain death for the athletes,”
the Interior Ministry said. That
led to the abortive plan to save
them.
Three surviving terrorists face
multiple charges of murder, a
Bavarian court official said.
They were wounded as police
tried unsuccessfully to free the
hostages. The court has 48 hours
to issue a formal warrant of
arrest.
The survivors’ wounds were
described as not serious.
If the three are charged and
convicted of premeditated murder,
they would face a maximum sen
tence of life imprisonment. There
is no death penalty in West Ger
many.
Germany’s conscience, long tor
tured in all its dealings with
Jews, was again stricken with
assertions that the attempt to
save the Israelis had been
botched. West German commen
tators spoke of postwar Ger
many’s darkest hour.
The Olympic competition, halt
ed 12 hours after the first Israeli
was killed in the Olympic Village,
resumed late Wednesday.
An Olympic Stadium crowd of
80,000, called to a memorial serv
ice, broke into
cheers when Avery Bn
president of the Inta
Olympic Committee, il
‘‘The Games must go on.”
The circumstances of tkf
out at Fuerstenfeldbrud
tary airfield, were still i®
and will come under the
ment’s inquiry.

A car loan is a car loan. Right? Wrong!
A car loan at University National is more
than just a car loan, because when you
finance your new car with UNB from
now until Thanksgiving we’ll pay
the cost of your license tags.
And the offer applies to any new model
any size any price, including trucks of
up to Vz ton capacity.
That amounts to a big saving for you!
To get your free license plates, just finance
your car directly with University National,
or ask your dealer to arrange your
financing with us. We’ll do the rest.
How’s that for a good deal?
