BRYAN — ONE BLOCK SOUTH OF POST OFFICE
afternoon, as they breezed through
a controlled scrimmage in good fash
ion.
The first and second offensive
units steadily and consistently
drove down the field against the de
fensive third and fourth stringers.
The starting 11 scored seven times
on nine possessions and the backup
unit hit paydirt three .times on five
tries.
Halfback Skip Walker highligh
ted the offensive segment of the
scrimmage scoring four touchdowns
on the ground and one on a 20-yard
pass from quarterback David
Walker. Bubba Bean scored twice
on runs of nine and four yards and
Ronnie Hubby subbing for fullback
Bucky Sams, who is nursing a
sprained ankle, plunged across the
goal line once from two yards out.
Quarterback Walker was as cool
as the weather as he completed
eight of 16 passes, including a
20-yard scoring toss, and ran an
eight-yard touchdown on a keeper.
Both he and backup quarterback
David Shipman executed well since
the combined offensive units only
turned the ball over twice on fum
bles and once on a Walker intercep
tion.
At the All-University Night ac
tivities Coach Emory Bellard was
quoted as saying the Aggies were
going to fight like gangsters. That’s
just how the “hit men” played on
the defensive end of the field and,
man, they sure did hit.
The defense held the third team
offense scoreless, but they lost con
tainment on the quarterback several
times and that was their biggest
weakness last season. However,
MIDDLE LINEBACKER John McCrumbly (left), defen
sive end Blake Schwarz (center, standing) and cornerback
Charlie Arndt put the crunch on quarterback Mike Jay (in
white jersey).
Holiday apathy cuts
WFL attendance
(AP) — The rookie World Foot
ball League-plagued by holiday
apathy, bad weather, and the rival
league’s nationally televised Mon
day night game-plunged to new at
tendance lows on Labor Day.
The New York Stars drew only
6,132 spectators-a record low WFL
home crowd-to 27,OOO-seat Down
ing Stadium, the WFL’s smallest
field, to watch their 24-16 victory
over the Philadelphia Bell.
“We knew that no one would
want to come out here on Labor Day
night after a long weekend,” mo
aned New York general manager
Bob Keating. “Hell, we didn’t even
get our 7,600 season ticket holders
here.”
Even fewer spectators-only
5,101, in fact-turned out on a rainy
night in London, Ont. to watch
WFL’s first game ever in Canada.
In the five holiday games that
capped the WFL’s ninth week, an
average of just 19,412 spectators
turned out.
“We’re not really that con
cerned,” explained WFL spokes
man Gary Wright. “Ninteen
thousand is still a pretty good fig-

they are an experienced unit and
should work that problem out by the
time they square off with Clemson
in the season opener.
Continuous hard-hitting by the
“Maroon Maulfia” forced the offen
sive reserves to turn the ball over
eight times. Safety James Daniels
intercepted two aerials and Pat
Thomas, Tim Gray and Al Thur
mond stole one each. Middle
linebackers John McCrumbly and
Kenny Stratton both recovered
fumbles with Stratton grabbing two
and McCrumbly one.
The Aggies will scrimmage again
Friday afternoon and if things con
tinue to look sharp they’ll be well
prepared to take on a much im
proved Clemson team on Sept. 14.
