Twelve Started At Least One Game
Fish Paced Aggie Football
For the Texas Aggies, 1972 has
to go down as the “Year of the
Freshmen.” It is doubtful that
any major team in the nation had
freshmen contribute as much as
they did at A&M.
The final figures show that
12 freshmen started at least one
game. The leaders were Richard
Osborne, a 6-5, 210-pounder from
San Antonio Lee, and Carl
Roaches, a 5-9, 155-pounder from
Houston Smiley, who alternated
at split end in all 11 games.
Halfback Skip Walker, a 5-10,
180-pounder from Del Valle, start
ed eight games, and linebacker
Ed Simonini, a 6-0, 200 pounder
from Las Vegas, Nev., started the
last seven.
Bubba Bean started four and
Ronnie Hubby started three at
halfback, Alvin Bowers at full
back, Blake Schwarz at defensive
end and Pat Thomas at corner-
back started two games each.
Henry Tracy and Dennis Smel-
ser each started one game at of
fensive guard, and Glenn Bujnoch
started one game at defensive
end.
Osborne was the team's leading
receiver with 31 catches for 440
yards and one touchdown. Roach
es led the team in touchdowns
with four and also topped the list
in kickoff and punt returns.
Roaches, who won the 100-yard
dash at the state meet and has a
9.4 to his credit, showed his speed
by returning a kickoff 97 yards
for a TD against LSU and had
TD punt returns of 61 against
Baylor and 84 against Rice. He
also had a 68-yard TD punt re
turn called back against Wichita
State.
Walker tied junior Mark Green
as the team’s No. 2 rusher with
311 yards behind senior Brad
Dusek’s 549 yards. Bean, Hubby
and Bowers were next in line.
Percentagewise, here is what
the Aggie frosh accomplished:
54.5 percent of the touchdowns
(12 of 22), 60.7 percent of the
total yards rushing, receiving and
return (2,619 of 4,314), 45.6 per
cent of the rushing yards (850 of
1,866), 61.3 percent of the receiv
ing yards (718 of 1,172), 51.6
percent of the total offense (1,568
of 3,038), 95.7 percent of the punt
return yards (287 of 300), 86.8
percent of the kickoff return
yards (746 of 859) and 15 percent
of the interception return yards
(18 of 117).
And despite having most of the
above mentioned freshmen on the
varsity, the Aggie Fish team won
four of five games, including a
win over the Texas freshmen
which broke a 16-game winning
streak. Fish fullback Bucky Sams
set a frosh record with 638 yards
in five games and a 7.1 average.
The season record of 3-8 was
disappointing, but four Southwest
Conference losses were by mar
gins of 3, 3, 2 and 6 points.
Senior placekicker Pat McDer
mott ended an outstanding career
by becoming the first player in
A&M history to score 100 points
by kicking. He finished the season
with 102. He was 15-for-15 on
extra points and 6-of-10 on field
goals, including a school record
54-yarder against SMU which
broke his own record of 53 yards
set last year against Baylor.
First year coach Emory Bellard
and his staff have built a solid
foundation for the future at
Texas A&M.
Coach Pleased With Effort
In Opening Game Victory
Texas A&M opened its 1972-73
basketball season on a record-
breaking note Tuesday night with
a 100-60 win over out-manned
Wayland Baptist College. The
Aggies set a school record with
76 rebounds in the contest. The
previous record was 74 set against
Trinity last year.
“Overall, I was pleased with
the performance,” Aggie coach
Shelby Metcalf said. “We were
a bit ragged at times, but that
is to be expected for the first
game. I think we showed the po
tential to be a pretty good team
We played everyone on our squad
and all did a good job.”
Chuck Tone, a 6-7 transfer
from Iowa Central Junior Col
lege in Fort Dodge, led the scor
ing in his first Aggie game with
21 points. Randy Knowles, a 6-6
junior, led the rebounding parade
with 19. Senior Jeff Overhouse
and sophomore Cedric Joseph
pulled down 14 each in an awe
some display of board power.
Knowles and Overhouse con
tributed 16 points each while
guard Mario Brown added 12.
The Aggies host UT Arlington
Friday in their next outing. Ar
lington lost a squeaker to tough
Oklahoma City, 82-81, in their
only action. Monday A&M hosts
Angelo State, then goes to Tulsa,
Okla., Wednesday to participate
in a doubleheader honoring Henry
Iba, the great Oklahoma State
coach. The Aggies play Oklahoma
State in the second half of that
twinbill.
A&M returns home Dec. 11 to
face George Washington before
going back to Tulsa Dec. 23 to
meet Oral Roberts. On Dec. 27-
30, the Aggies play in the All-
College Tournament in Oklahoma
City, catching nationally ranked
Brigham Young in the first round.
