Scouting Report
TCU Has New Quarterback For Aggies
By KEVIN COFFEY
Assistant Sports Editor
The TCU Horned Frogs bring
an explosive, big, powerful and
fast team to test the Texas Ag
gies in Kyle Field Saturday night.
TGU’s biggest weakness is
depth and the team was delivered
a blow when starting quarterback
Kent Marshall broke his collar
bone in the first quarter against
Tulsa. However, his replacement,
Perry Senn, was able to run the
ball club well and the Frogs won
35-9. A&M coach Emory Bellard
said, “They didn’t lose any ef
fectiveness with him (Senn) in
there.”
The Frogs have a new coach in
Billy Tohill who opens his first
year as head man at TCU. He
took over midway through last
season when Jim Pittman died
of a heart attack during the Bay
lor game. Tohill and Pittman
shared SWC Coach of the Year
honors in 1971.
TCU has a potent offense which

Tonight A&M’s Student Senate will decide the fate of allowing
women to apply for cheerleader positions.
The vote will decide if a referendum vote will be held which would
enable the entire student body to judge this touchy issue.
Texas A&M’s All-America Diamond Darling unit has proven that
women have a place in athletics on this campus. The question of
allowing women to compete for cheerleader positions has not been too
much of a problem before now, due to the lack of women on campus.
There is a sufficient number now and they warrant consideration.
There will certainly be an uproar involving tradition, but traditions
have changed when the relevance of the change is visualized. There is no
denying that women are more adept at this fine art than are males.
This does not discount male cheerleaders. An even number of each
working together in a synchronized unit is one of the most colorful
sights seen at a football game. It could be done very well here.
One problem that will obviously be brought up is midnight yell
practice.
Having been to numerous ones, women have always been present
and very few have ever left due to the stories told. Males do not have
the market on four-letter words and risque stories. Surely, women have
told a few stories with sexual connotations every once in a while.
Women do not live under rocks.
As previously mentioned, the Diamond Darlings started it all. They
opened the door for women to participate in Aggie athletics and they
should be proud of the job they are doing.
Baseball is the least conducive sport for women to be involved in.
What they do is strictly work with little or no glamour. They dust off
homeplate, chase foul balls and pick up bats. They are involved with
the program because they want to be a part of this school and its
functions.
To find out how they have done and if any problems have occured,
just ask coach Tom Chandler or one of the baseball players.
Last year, the first year in existence, these 12 women were picked
as the best group in America from over 50 colleges and universities.
The basketball team is now in the midst of initiating a program to
have pom-pom girls perform at its games. Coach Metcalf feels this
addition will greatly enhance the game. The group would perform
during timeouts and at halftime and have a director to teach routines
like that of the Apache Belles or Rangerettes. There is no question that
these young ladies have found a place in athletics; just look at any pro
football game.
One could ask what good a group of girls do in connection with an
athletic event. A&M’s Diamond Darling captain, Pam Schiefelbein, says
it best.
“Diamond Darlings are mainly there to boost spirit and attract
people to the games.”
There is no denying that they have done that for baseball. And
they will do the same thing for basketball and football.
Having been on a panel of judges for this year’s Diamond Darlings,
it is evident that women want to get involved and become part of the
school’s activities. There were over 50 applicants for the four vacancies
left from last year’s squad. That’s a big turnout considering the odds.
Becky Upham, a member of the Diamond Darlings, was selected at
the Tech game as the Aggie Sweetheart. This is the first A&M woman
ever to be selected.
Whenever our women are involved, they’ve done a good job. Let’s
give them a chance at being cheerleaders.
is averaging 30 points a game.
The Frogs rank second in rushing
offense in the conference only to
Texas Tech. The Frogs are a run
ning team, having thrown the ball
only 50 times, fewest in the con
ference.
The Frog backfield is headed
by newcomer Senn at quarter
back. His surrounding Wishbone
cast consists of Mike Luttrell,
offensive player of the year
among SWC freshmen last year,
along with Steve Patterson and
Bill Sadler.
One of the true TCU bright
spots is the offensive line from
tackle to tackle. It could be the
best Frog line in more than a
decade. Ronnie Peoples, consensus
all-SWC tight end last year, was
moved to guard and Scott Walk
er, a starting guard last year,
was moved to center.
The tackles are Lloyd Draper
and Jerry Wauson, with guards
Guy Morriss and Peoples. Mor-
riss weighs 255 pounds but can
run the 40-yard dash in 4.7 sec
onds.
Lane Bowen, a two-year letter-
man, is the starting tight end
while Steve Patterson is the split
end.
The TCU offense is rounded
out by a good kicking game.
Sophomore Greg Anderson cur
rently leads the conference in
punting with a 40.5 yard average.
Placekicker Berl Simmons, who
won two TCU games last year
with clutch field goals, is back
again for the Frogs.
Defensively, the Frogs have an
obvious weakness: pass defense.
TCU is currently last among its
