Although the scoreboard said the Maroon team scored 20 points in the second game, a player wearing a maroon jersey never crossed the goal line. This was possible because the Maroon team really had nothing to do with color but really represented the third team in the second half while the White team represented the second team. In the first game the second team was the Maroon team while the first team was the White team. There was a slight variation of this rela tively simple alignment in the third quarter (or first quarter of the second game) as the first team backfield played with the second team while the third team used the second team backs. In the last quarter of the afternoon (the second quarter of the second game), everything was straight ened out as the second team backs played with the second team and the third team was complete with their own backs. Every offensive player wore white while the de fense was all dressed in maroon. When the Maroon team would get the ball through an intercep tion or fumble recovery, the White team would still retain possession. Occasionally, the White team would score and the Maroon team would receive credit on the scoreboard. It all added up to a confusing afternoon for scoreboard nuts but wise fans avoided worrying about such trivial items as the score and instead busied them selves with judging the quality of the A&M squad.

Only 50,000 tickets per day A&M’s future, many fans may have walked away from Kyle Field a mite disappointed. A&M head coach Emory Bel- lard was among those feeling the afternoon left much to be de sired. “I thought the defense played well,” said Bellard, “but I was disappointed in our first offense. I had been impressed with their overall play this spring. I think they are an aggressive and real solid unit but today they played like they were just finishing up spring training.” The afternoon was not without bright spots as fullback Jerry Honore emerged as the spring’s most pleasant surprise. Honore rushed for 90 yards in 18 carries, running for both the second and third teams. He was responsible for three of the seven touchdowns scored during the afternoon, two of them coming on the ground with the third team and another on a 18-yard pass from second team quarterback man. “Jerry has improved just incredible amount this sprii said Bellard. “If he continue) improve at his present rate, would say we could have quality running backs again spring.” “I feel like I had a spring,” said Honore, “and I it all to Coach Bellard. He me the inspiration and drive needed and helped me build fidence in myself.” Although Shipman and fi man Carl Monger were imj sive at quarterback in their fsj appearance before many A$j fans, sophomore David Wai appeared to have the first role securely nailed down. “As of now, Walker isourft string quarterback and will considered the same thing »| we start our fall drills,” Bellard. “I’d say Shipman hai slight edge on the No. 2 positial Cloudy and thu day- T tonight partly < ending David St} Thursd Tracksters battle bad weather agaii The A&M track squad encoun tered belligerent week as they vis- second straight week as they vis ited Des Moines to compete in the highly prestigious Drake Relays. The Aggies battled wind and rain in both the Kansas Relays and the Baylor Invitational last week and found the same type weather awaiting them in Drake. It came in a slightly different form in Iowa as the rains fell Fri day during prelims while Satur day’s finals were run in high, gusting winds. Scottie Jones was again impres sive in the 120-yard high hurdles with his third straight fourth place finish against quality na tional talent. Jones ran a 13.6, matching his performance of a week before at Kansas, but saw his Drake Relays record of 13.5 fall to Florida State’s Danny Smith who turned in a winning time of 13.4. Jones set the record last year and held it jointly with Southern’s Rod Milburn. Freshman Shifton Baker also competed in the 120-yard highs turning in a 14.3 performance, but wasn’t able to qualify for the finals. Baker also ran a 53.7 in the 440- yard intermediate hurdles while teammate Craig McPhail turned in a 54.0 performance but neither qualified for the finals. The Aggies finished sixth in the mile relay, running a 3:15.5 in the gusting wind. The quartet of Har old Davis, McPhail, Horace Grant and Doug Brodhead ran a 3:13.0 in the preliminaries to qualify. Sprinter Charles Dawson re turned to action for the first time in two weeks, running a nifty 21.2 opening 220 for the sprint medley relay. Brodhead ran the second 220, Grant ran the quarter while Pat Bradley handled the 880. The Aggies finished third in their heat behind the fine teams of Texas Southern and Oklahoma but only the first two teams quali fied for the finals. In the two mile relay, the Ag gies continued a string of bad luck in the event as Bradley i Ron McGonigle got lost in acrs of finishers after the first i and had difficulty making handoff.
