Fish On Varsity Increase In Numb
Houston Houston Houston Houston Houston Va. Tech
By KEVIN COFFEY
Assistant Sports Editor
Blake Schwarz and Dennis
Smelser joined seven other Fish
on the varsity to make a total of
nine first year men on the Aggie
squad.
With this large number on the
varsity, head freshman coach Paul
Register finds himself laughingly
moaning for “some 210 lb. fresh-
Register may be snickering but
the situation is getting really
serious. Depth is the Fish’s major
weakness and they can’t afford
many more losses to the varsity.
Terry Crownover and Ronnie
Garrison will replace the departed
Schwarz and Smelser but no other
changes are expected for the next
Fish game, Oct. 11 at TCU.
Register has gotten great punt
ing out of non-scholarship per
former Lee White, who averaged
43.8 yards on six punts against
Rice. This average would be
enough to lead the Southwest
Conference in punting if White
was a varsity player. White has
also connected on four of four
extra points.
Register is using a shuttle sys
tem with the split ends so the
coaches can call the plays from

the sideline. Roy Murry and Bill
Newton, both non-scholarship
athletes, handle these duties for
the Fish.
Fullback Bucky Sams leads the
Fish in rushing with 117 yards
against Rice. Sams has scored
one touchdown and is averaging
5.9 yards a carry.
Ronnie Hubby is the leading
scorer for the Fish with 12 points.
Hubby netted 80 yards on 20 car
ries against the Owlets and is
second behind Sams in that de
partment.
The Fish defense, which played
an outstanding game, held Rice
to 197 yards total offense while
blocking a punt, scoring one
touchdown and intercepting four
passes.

DETROIT OP) — Marty Pattin
fired a four-hitter and the Boston
Red Sox deprived Detroit’s Joe
Coleman of a 20th victory Wed
nesday with a 4-1 triumph over
the Tigers in the regular-season
finale for both American League
teams.
the
The victory left the Red Sox
one-half game behind the East
Division champion Tigers — who
played one more game than Bos
ton this season because of the
strike-shortened schedule.
Detroit begins its playoff in
Oakland Saturday against
West Division champion A’s.
Coleman failed to record
second straight 20-victory season
and wound up instead with his
14th loss. He gave up all of Bos
ton’s runs and left after six
nings.
Pattin, 17-13, was given a first-
inning run when Juan Beniquez
and Phil Gagliano walked and
Ben Oglivie singled. The Tigers
tied it in the bottom of the in
ning on Dick McAuliffe’s double,
a fly ball that moved him to third
and Frank Howard’s grounder.
Are Texas A&M fans really fickle?
In this instance, I say no. The fans aren’t down on the Aggies for
losing; just for refusing to play the football that they’re capable of
playing. No one was really upset when the Aggies lost to Nebraska; it
was somewhat expected. No one was really upset over the loss to LSU,
it was also expected. But, the loss to out-manned, out-classed Army was
not expected. And that is the problem.
The fans couldn’t have been too terribly upset with the Aggie
losses. There were 46,680 people at the game. This figure represents the
largest crowd ever to witness a non-conference game at Texas A&M.
Next week the crowd will be reduced, but not drastically. The fans
will give the Aggies yet another chance to make them smile proudly
that they are Texas Aggie fans. If they are defeated while giving it all
they have, the fans will keep coming back. But, if they play another
game as they did Saturday, the fans may find something else to do and
no one could blame them.
Effort is all that is asked by football fans. Just effort. Against
Army there seemed to be no real effort. It looked as if the team did not
care whether it won or not.
These same fans who are griping have not given up hope for the
Fightin’ Texas Aggie football team. They will be back next weekend
when the Red Raiders come into town. They’ll scream and holler for
“their” team every game. That’s what gives these fans the right to
criticize the team when it loses.
Another right to criticize is granted by the purchase of a football
ticket. People who help support the football team have that right
because they care enough to go out and watch.
People that don’t participate, don’t care or don’t give up their time
should not gripe. This type of fans the Aggies don’t need.
Some people feel the football team should be a separate entity of
the school. They feel that since the football team goes through spring
training, two-a-days and daily workouts, they should be the judge of
how they are doing. That is not how it works.
The football team is part of this school and without this school,
they wouldn’t be playing football here. Many could have played at
other schools but decided that A&M was the place for them. The
student spirit had a great deal to do with their coming to A&M. The
students do care about the football team. They care when the team
wins and they care when the team loses; that is Texas A&M.
If the fans are asked not to criticize, are they also asked not to
praise? Of course not.
At A&M praise comes in abundance when possible. Remember
1967 when the Aggies won the Southwest Conference Championship
and beat Alabama in the Cotton Bowl. Praise was heaped lavishly on all
concerned by the fans and most of these fans are still around just
waiting for an occurance of that nature to happen again.
Remember Arkansas last year? People still talk about that game
and how well the Aggies played.
So, in conclusion, I say the team should be grateful for the fans
they have. Most fans are not fickle but have a dedicated interest in the
Texas Aggies. When it is time to praise you’re the best and when it is
time to criticize, you are also the best. You are Texas A&M. You care.
