Maroon-White game split
Sub fullback Jerry Honors shines in spring finale
half
By TED BORISKIE
Assistant Sports Editor
The annual Maroon-White
game Saturday was probably two
games and maybe more but it was
difficult to ascertain.
In the first half, the first team
defeated the second team, 7-0.
The second team Avon the second

game in the second half, outscor-
ing the third team, 21-20.
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. Using Satur
day’s games as an example of

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

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

and had difficulty making
handoff. Fine legs by McGoi
