Carlos
Castaneda
He does it kicking a football.
Stanley’s punting was impor
tant in deciding the victory over
Texas Tech. The Red Raiders had
to start from the shadow of their
goalposts several times due to
Stanley punts.
In what may have been his best
career game, Stanley averaged
47.9 yards per kick before the na
tional television audience. His
shortest punt went 41 yards
while his longest went 61 yards
and into the endzone. Not one of
the punts was returned past the
Tech 17 or for more than nine
yards. Tech’s best field position
after a Stanley punt was their
own 22.
“I don’t know how you could
punt the ball better than Mark
Stanley did today,” said head
football coach Emory Bellard aft
er the game.
Stanley began as a non-schol
arship freshman, but before long
became the Aggie punter and
kickoff man. He is now in his
junior year and is making his
name heard on the national punt
ing charts. His 43.4 average is
fourth in the nation and tops in
the Southwest Conference.
“I’m glad,” said Stanley con
cerning his ranking, “but I’d be
a fool to say I’m satisfied with
that spot. I’d like to be number
one.”

Aggies play tonight
against The Bunch
Last year Stanley was fourth
in the SWC with a 38.2 average
but the A&M punt coverage team
set a national record by allowing
an average return of 1.3 yards.
Despite his obvious pleasure in
earning the national ranking,
Stanley says he would rather see
the coverage team ranked than
himself.

last home game of the year. The
final home contest will be Oct. 24
against the College Station Water
Polo Club.
The Aggies defeated The Bunch
previously on the road by a 15-2
count. The Bunch, consisting of
Houston pre-med students, was de
feated recently by the University of
Texas, a team which coach Dennis
Fosdick’s Aggies clobbered 15-1.
The Aggies have a home record of
1-0-1, with the victory over Texas
and a tie last Saturday against the
Alumni. The Water Polo team is
7-2-1 overall.
Stanley feels he kicks best un
der pressure, when a rush is on.
He tries to get each punt off at
the same speed. This compen
sates for possible heavy pressure
since he knows for sure when a
rush will be coming. Stanley
praises center Matt Freeman for
his accuracy in snapping the ball
back. Stanley emphasizes the
grip, the approach and the follow
through of the leg as being essen
tial to punting.
Stanley says he would like to
get a pro contract as opposed to
being a free agent. If he does re
ceive one, he’ll be one of those
lucky people who gets paid for
getting their kicks.
