State Meet
By RAY B. SHEPHERD
The Texas A&M Wrestling
team, the 1973 Wrestling Confer
ence Champions, take on Pan
American University Friday at
7:30 p.m. in Deware Field House.
The Aggies won the champion
ship two weeks ago as they bat
tled the eight Texas Wrestling
Conference teams in an all day
tournament in Mesquite, Texas.
The Aggies won the tournament
by a seven point margin over the
second place team North Texas
State.
This is the second year that
the Aggie mat men have won the
title. The wrestling team dom
inated the tournament from the
beginning as they entered the
finals matches with five men.
Of the five, the Ags were able
to take first in two of the ten
weight classes. Eddy Peralta
(118) and Jim Rike (Hwt) both
came away with the title of state
champions. Frank Cox (126),
Frank Wietz (158), and Mike
Trahan (177) were able to come
away with second places as the
first two were pinned and the
latter was beatened 6-5 by their
opponents.
Jerome Urbanosky (142) and
John Manning (191) both took
third in their weight classes but
in doing so were able to add the
final points that gave the A&M
team its over all win. J. P. Jones
(134) took a fourth with Bob
Stewart (150) and Steve Lentsch
(167) taking a fifth.
In this weekend’s action the
A&M wrestling team will face
new opponents as the Pan Amer
ican team will be bringing people
that the Aggies have never faced
before.

If recruiting is the life blood of college football, coach Emory
Bellard and his staff gave A&M its second transfusion. The first was
gained last year.
Three Texas bluechippers were signed Tuesday along with the
nation’s first team All-America high school quarterback, Joe
McReynolds from Purcell, Okla. Three bluechippers remain unsigned
after the first two signing days and the Aggies have a good chance on
two.
Those remaining are Jeff Bergeron, John KUnger and Mike Ebow.
The term “bluechipper” is not a well defined term for many people
so for a basic knowledge of whaf s going on, let’s explain it.
The Dallas Times Herald sports department asked each Southwest
Conference head football coach to send in names of Texas high school
prospects they felt were the best in the state. No limits were set on the
number the coach could send in.
The votes ranged from Tech’s Jim Carlen’s 23 prospects to only
four from Rice’s A1 Conover.
The top twelve vote-getters are named bluechippers.
Bergeron was chosen by each coach, nine votes, and was
determined the state’s best football player.
The three Aggies picked ranged from eight votes to four.
Jimmy Dean, 6-4, 245, lineman from Brazoswood High, was the
second leading vote getter with eight. David Shipman, 6-0, 190,
quarterback from Odessa Permian got seven votes and his teammate
Grady Wilkerson, 6-3, 215 linebacker, had four votes.
Last year, A&M also signed three bluechippers and all started
games. Richard Osborne, Bubba Bean and Glenn Smelser were honored
as the state’s best.
Other bluechippers that started this year were Wayne Morriss and
Kenny Harrison for SMU and Cary Jackson for Oklahoma. Marty
Akins, another bluechipper, did not start but played frequently for the
SWC champion Longhorns. Akins will start as a sophomore.
The other conference schools already have spots reserved for the
bluechippers they signed Tuesday.
Houston, Baylor, Rice and Oklahoma grabbed the other six
bluechippers that A&M left.
Houston signed two gargantuan lineman in Brenham’s 64,280
Wilson Whitley and Houston Reagan’s 6-4, 260 Val Belcher.
Baylor signed Whitley’s teammate, runningback Cleveland Franklin
and Dallas South Oak Cliffs split receiver, Alcy Jackson.
Rice signed the state’s top athlete as voted on by the Amarillo
Chamber of Commerce, San Antonio Lee quarterback Tommy Kramei,
He was also voted the state’s top quarterback.
Oklahoma signed Austin Reagan linebacker Obie Moore.
OU also has the best shot at Bergeron along with Houston, Baylor
and LSU as it looks right now. Bergeron won’t make any hasty
decisions, that’s for sure.
The two remaining, Klinger and Ebow will be a fight to the finisli
but Bellard and his staff have high hopes in bringing both to Aggieland
For Klinger, the Aggies have to fight Texas and Colorado for
Ebow.
If Klinger signs with A&M, that will leave Texas without a single
bluechip prospect which has not happened in ages to the Longhorns.
With last year’s crop, Bellard used 19 for varsity competitioa He
has vowed to give this year’s group the same opportunity to prove
themselves fit for varsity action. If things work out as expected, A&M
will have, at the most, only two starters that were not recruited by
Bellard and his staff.
The Aggies will certainly have the youngest team in the conference
but these players have the ability to turn last year’s dismal 3-8 record
into 8-3 if they come here this summer ready for the challenge. You
can bet Emory Bellard and his staff are ready for that challenge, they’ve
shown that in the recruiting done the past two years.
