Hawks fly high
Secondary gains nickname
for alert, aggressive play
By paul McGrath
Four lone hawks patrol the outer
reaches of the Aggie defense.
The Hawks—alias James Daniels,
Tim Gray, Pat Thomas and Jackie
Williams—form Texas A&M’s de
fensive secondary.
The nickname “Hawks” was
coined by Coach Dean Campbell.
During one scrimmage, the secon
dary intercepted more passes than
the offense was completing. Camp
bell then made up the name to de
scribe the secondary’s ball-hawking
tactics.
Later, the quartet decided
amongst themselves to obtain some
signifying emblem. They decided
upon baseball hats. The hats are
solid black with a white braid across
the bill. Also in white is emblazoned
the name Hawks and the player’s
individual jersey number.
“The hats are a way of looking at
ourselves as a unit,” said Thomas.
“We wear them to emphasize our
aggressiveness and our unity. ” The
four have been wearing the hats
since last Thursday before the
Clemson game.
The hats are another example of
the Aggies “new image” defense.
Aggressiveness has been instilled
into each member of the defense.
“We’re out to do it all this year,”
says Williams. “We’ll attack who
ever has the ball. The white defense
enjoys hitting. ”
The Clemson game brought a
welcome relief to the Hawks. “We
were getting tired of hitting each
other. We were wanting to hit
somebody else for a change,” com
mented Williams. He added that he
believed that Clemson was the har
dest hitting game he had played in.
“We got more good, hard licks in
that game than all of last year. We’re
all sore from the hitting.”
The Aggie secondary was fifth na
tionally last year and hopes to do
better this season.
One tactic of the Hawks is to use
intimidation to gain an edge over
their opponent. The secondary tries
to touch, push or bump the receiver
on every play. “You have to let them
know you’re there,” Williams said.
“We have to get every edge we
Aggie halfback Bubba Bean said he has no personal goals
set for this year. He just wants to play on a team that wins the
SWC championship this year. When asked about the possibility
of surpassing 1,000 yards in total rushing this season. Bean said,
“If I keep playing I’ll make it. And I plan to keep playing.”
^c***************************************************
The Aggies had 103 players suited up for the Clemson game
Saturday. In the 24-0 Aggie win, 59 players saw action.
This marks A&M’s 80th season of football. The Aggies have
won 382, lost 283 and tied 45. The Aggies are ranked third in
SWC all-time won-lost records. Texas is first with 536 wins, 195
losses and 28 ties. Arkansas is second with 397 wins, 286 losses
and 33 ties.
Texas has won the SWC championship 18 times and the
Aggies are second with 10 SWC crowns.
University of Texas has hired Bill Lyons, 25, as an assistant
athletic director. He is the first black to hold such a position in
the southwest conference.
***********************************************
The Southwest Athletic Conference Sportsmanship Award
was conceived in 1948 by Jimmie Nelson, co-editor of the Texas
A&M Battalion. A&M has won the award two times in the last
26 years. The original trophy was donated to TCU by the
Battalion after three successive wins. A new trophy was do
nated by TCU in 1957.
***********************************************
The first account of any sports event via wireless took
place in College Station in 1921. Three cadets rigged up a crude
but workable telegraph machine and “broadcasted” A&M’s 7-0
victory back to Austin.
LSU leads in the series against A&M 22-12-3. This in
cludes the 1943 Orange Bowl game that LSU won. In the nine
games played in Texas, the Aggies have won six, lost one and
tied two. This is the next to the last game in the current LSU
series for A&M, all games played at Tiger Stadium in Baton
Rouge, Louisiana.

can, get a mental advantage. If you
get them thinking about you, you
bust up their concentration.” The
players use insults and threats, al
though rarely printable, to accomp
lish this. “It’s even better when you
back it up with a good hit,” notes
Williams.
Besides the nickname Hawks, a
title was created for the whole de
fense. The Wolfpack is the defense’s
new moniker. The name is a Mike
Jay original. Jay initiated the name
when he entered a defensive team
shouting he was “out to get that pack
of wolves now. ”
However, by any name the Aggie
defense still remains the same
hard-hitting bunch of guys. Just ask
Clemson.
