Skip Walker, a quadruple threat
By PAUL McGRATH
Staff Sports Writer
It is becoming a common sight to
see Texas A&M halfback Skip
Walker take a handoff, crack
Jrough the line, outrace the secon-
Lry to the goal line and then glance
kck over a shoulder in an almost
iunting gesture to the opponent.
Six times this year the former Del
Valle star has put up points for the
Aggies. He now has 17 career
touchdowns at A&M. Thus far, he
leads the Ags in scoring.
Among Walker s credits are listed
All-district, All-Super Centex in
high school and second team All-
Southwest Conference in 1973.

ater polo team
leads to California
By PAUL McGRATH
Staff Sports Writer
San Francisco State University is
exton the list for the Texas A&M
t'ater Polo team as they travel to
California today.
Senior goalie Paul McKinzie ex-
resses confidence in the Aggies
hances. McKinzie believes the
latch “should be a victory" for the
armers.
San Francisco is just the first stop
an extended trip to the Pacific
oast. Thursday, the Aggies play
ack-to-back contests against the
ollege of Sequoias and West Val-
ly College with only an hour’s rest
i between. Sequoias is a relatively
ew team and pretty much un-
nown to the Aggies. However,
ley are in the process of building
nd should prhve to be good com-
etition. The West Valley head
)ach scheduled A&M to play after
le Aggies’ match with Sequoias,
ivinghis team four hours rest and
ie Aggies one.
On Friday and Saturday the team
tvels to Los Altos for the Northern
California Invitational Tournament,
e Aggies begin against Fresno
id then meet Chico State and San
seCity College. Chico and A&M
e favorites in the small college di-
sion of the tourney.

yardstick to measure the team.
West Coast teams are generally
more physical and have more size
than most teams in the nation. For
example, Chico averages about 195
lbs. per man while A&M is about
175 lbs. a man.
The Aggies depend on their
speed in the water and their finesse
to make up for their lack of size.
They will play a moving game.
Offensively and defensively, the
Aggies are very well-balanced when
they want to be, says McKinzie.
One problem of the team is their
slow start. “It’ll be a fight for two
quarters and then after halftime we
come on strong and start doing well.
Then it’s beautiful, said the 210 lb.
goalie.
Lee Davis, Tom Comstock and
Mike Reilly have been cited for de
fensive play while Oran Marksbury
and Don Reeser have been making
waves on the offensive side.
The next home match is against
the University of Texas, the first
time in four years the two rivals
have met each other in water polo.
Not only does McKinzie feel the
Aggies will be successful against the
Longhorns, but he said A&M
should run away with the Southwest
Conference championship. “If we
can just start playing a little quicker
we ll do all right, said McKinzie.
Walker ranks sixth on the A&M
all time rushing list with 1,201
career yards. Currently, he is av
eraging over 90 yards a game and
better than five yards a carry.
He utilizes his 9.5 speed in not
only rushing but on the specialty
teams by returning kickoffs. Since
his partner on the return team is
Carl Roaches, he manages to get the
ball kicked his way more times than
not.
Besides his running ability.
Walker is an excellent blocker
Broyles
pleased
with Hogs
(AP)—Coach Frank Broyles
praised his Arkansas Razorbacks
Tuesday as they prepared for their
game with Texas Christian Univer
sity Saturday.
“We had a good practice today,”
Broyles said. “The defense has im
proved each day, and we have
polished our passing attack on of
fense.”
The Southwest Conference has
four teams, including Arkansas at
20th, in the Top 20 of this week’s
Associated Press college football
poll. “I am glad to see it,” Broyles
said. “It is great for our conference. ”
A surprising adjustment during
the two-hour practice was
linebacker Waymon Hawkins run
ning at fullback.
Littleton to
start against
Razorbacks
(AP)—Ronnie Littleton, a junior
from Wichita Falls, was named
starting offensive halfback Tuesday
for Texas Christian’s Southwest
Conference game with Arkansas at
Amon Carter Stadium Saturday
night.
“Ronnie finally supplied us with a
spark that we have been needing at
halfback,” said Coach Jim Shofner.
“His presense takes some of the
pressure off Mike Luttrell. To date,
everyone has been keying on Mike
but now they will have to respect
Littleton too.”

(which is a vital phase of A&M’s type
of attack) and a sure-handed re
ceiver.
Perhaps his best game as an Aggie
was against SMU last year. Walker
gained 184 yards on 13 carries and
scored twice.
Walker’s running style is quite a
contrast to his fellow halfback,
Bubba Bean. Yet they are both ef
fective. Bean has a long, gliding
stride while Walker is characterized
by short, choppy steps.
Another thing that sets Walker
apart is his happy-go-lucky nature.
He is what is generally termed “a
free spirit.’ Walkers character
makes him one of the most likeable
players on the team.
The dance floor is another place
where Walker excels. He happens
to be a terrific dancer, or so say the
ladies. But he will most likely go
down in A&M history for the moves
he makes on the gridiron. Besides
with 9.5 speed you can dance with
anybody.

Duniven, Williams!
lead Tech bv UT I
(AP) — Texas Tech quarterback
Tommy Duniven and flanker Lawr
ence Williams looked as though
they were playing catch on a neigh
borhood lawn Saturday against
sixth-ranked Texas.
Only like Tech assistant Coach
Tom Wilson says, “You d better
have good hands when you play
catch with Tommy or he’ll knock
’em off ”
Duniven completed touchdown
strikes of 77, 15 and 18 yards to Wil
liams as they earned The Associated
Press Southwest Conference co
offensive Players of the Week award
in the 26-3 upset of the Longhorns.
The strong-armed, 6-foot-2,
200-pound Duniven, who is just a
sophomore, once threw a ball 75
yards in the air at McLean, Tex.,
High School. Saturday he winged a
pass 46 yards into the teeth of a
25-mile-an hour wind. Williams
field it at the Texas 40 and romped
to the end zone.
Duniven has thrown just 28 pas
ses this year and completed 21 — a
whopping 75 per cent for four
touchdowns.
