Schramm sees WFL failure DALLAS (A*) — Tex Schramm, president of the Dallas Cowboys of the National Football League, said Tuesday the World Football League will have a harder time being a success than the old American Football League. Schramm said when the AFL was organized there were only 12 teams in the NFL. “Now, there are 26,” Schramm said. He added, “On the other hand the country has grown a bit. Of course, it’s going to be much more expensive. When you start out in a venture like this you’re going to have losses and the losses will be more than the AFL expe rienced.” The WFL held its first draft Tuesday, but the player the Cow boys are expected to pick as the No. 1 selection in the NFL draft next Tuesday was chosen in the third round—Ed Too Tall Jones, a defensive end from Tennessee State. The Detroit franchise of the WFL selected Jones.

The News will re place the occasional newsletter, Sportsgram. Club news and infor mation about the TAMU athletic program will be featured. Until Jan. 2 of this year the Aggie Club has been located off campus and this has led to some confusion. “Very few people understand the difference between the Asso ciation of Former Students, A&M hometown clubs and the Aggie Club, Hopkins said. “We are spe cifically related to athletics.” The Association of Former Stu dents provides academic aid. The NCAA in its annual meet ing voted to restrict athletic de partments to about 200 scholar ships. Hopkins notes, “our long range goal is to provide a scholarship for every student athlete at A&M. We are a little over halfway there and hope to reach our goal in three to four years.” ATTENTION JEWISH STUDENTS HILLEL ‘Join Us’ 846-7313 846-9780 (evening) B’NAI BRITH HILLEL FOUNDATION , Save on your favorite sounds at FedMart Jv 3258*: I Got A Name.
