Pat Thomas, defensive back for
the Texas Aggies, made himself
known to a national television audi
ence Saturday and the Texas Tech
team of 1974 may never forget him.
In the 28-7 Aggie romp over the
hapless Red Raiders, Thomas made
seven unassisted tackles, knocked
down four passes and sacked quar
terback Tommy Duniven once. He
was awarded the Chevrolet defen
sive player of the game which gives
A&M a $1,000 scholarship award.
He also earned the Associated Press
Southwest Conference Defensive
Player of the Week award.
“Pat Thomas is the quickest de
fensive back I’ve had in 24 years
coaching and can jump right up
there with any receiver because of
the tremendous spring in his legs, ”
said A&M defensive coordinator
Melvin Robertson.
T’d like to say we’ve helped that
kid with coaching, but we haven’t,”
Robertson said. “He’s got the kind
of talent you don’t mess with. . .the
quickest feet I ever saw.”

High School as an All-State running
back. He said he is content on the
defensive side of the line, but occa
sionally gets the urge to carry the
ball.
The defensive secondary seemed
to have problems against Kansas
passing but came back and had a
great day against Tech. Quarterback
Duniven was 7 of 18 and one inter
ception, picked off by Ed Simonini.
This weekend the secondary will
be tested again by the TCU pro
type offense.
“TCU is looking sounder every
week,” Coach Emory Bellard said.
“Their quarterback (Lee Cook) is
leading the conference in passing
and their receivers returned from
last year.”
“Cook has a good strong arm and
is capable of throwing all types of
passes,” Bellard said. “Our defen
sive secondary has the quickness to
stay with the receivers, but the pass
rush must also be aggressive.”
In two weeks the Aggies will
travel to Baylor to play another
strong passing team led by last year’s
leading passer in the SWC, Neal
Jeffrey. The Aggie secondary will
have their hands full the next few
weeks, as will the rest of the team.
Thomas has amazing physical
strength as well as the ability to
jump like a kangaroo. He can bench
press 280-300 pounds which is
about 100 pounds more than normal
for someone his size.
“He’s a real hitter,” Robertson
said. Some of the Red Raiders might
agree with that, especially Tommy
Duniven and flanker Lawrence Wil-
[lliams.
j Volleyball
I ferns lack
teamwork
The “teamwork” key keeps get
ting lost for the A&M women’s vol
leyball team.
“Teamwork improved every
game, ” said coach Laura Kitzmiller,
“and it should be where we want it
for state play.”
In the round robin tournament,
A&M took three losses and one win
in their pool. Southwest Texas, UT
at Arlington and Abilene Christian,
all rallied for the third game of the
match, beating the Ags.
A&M finished off Southern
Methodist in two games.
UTA took the University of Hous
ton Tournament, with the host
school taking third.
The volleyballers go to University
of Texas campus Oct. 25 for tourna
ment play.
The women begin zone play Oct.
23 when Baylor and Mary Hardin-
Baylor come to DeWare Field
House to challenge the Ags at 6
p.m.
