Consol band takes
2nd division award
By TONY GALLUCCI
Staff Writer
The A&M Consolidated Band,
winner of five previous sweeps
takes, suffered an unexpected blow
when it finished with a second divi
sion rating in the first round of com
petition.
First division ratings are required
in each of the three rounds for a
sweepstakes award. The Consol
band has won the sweepstakes
award five years in a row.
Rather than a first, second and
third place system being used,
bands are graded against a standard.
“The system is much like a grading
system in school,” said Band Direc
tor Charles Maxwell. “Everybody
can make F’s or everybody can
make A s." Consol made a B.
The round held this weekend at
Roundrock was marching competi
tion. Sight Reading and Concert
competition will be held in the
spring. Although the Tiger Band is
out of the competition for sweeps
takes this year, they are still in the
running for the 3A honor band title,
which is statewide recognition.
The band members, who practice
an average of 10 hours per week for a
seven-and-a-half minute show,
came under the scrutiny of three
judges at the meet. All three judges
gave Consol a ‘2’ with most com
monly sighted errors being align
ment and sharpness of precision.
Other faults mentioned included
timing and tuning.
The judges did note, however,
that the sequence was well con
ceived and there was a great deal of
individual talent.
The band and the associated
marching groups, the Tiger Troupe,
the Bengal Belles and the Tigeret-
tes, have been preparing since the
beginning of the school year for the
competition. They also perform at
halftimes in the football games and
march in the annual Christmas
parade.
Maxwell said a large problem oc
curs early in the year because half of
the entire group are freshmen.
“They must be taught to play and
march at the same time and that
takes a lot of practice. These kids
are still learning,” he said.
In a related incident several band
members were suspended from
A&M Consolidated High School
after some liquor bottles were found
on school buses which carried stu
dents to and from the marching con
test. About 20 students were in
volved.
1 A&M Consolidated school dis
trict superintendent Fred Hopson,
Maxwell and Consol High principal
'Bob Caskey would not make state-
'ments about the incident except for
Maxwell’s statement that “these
'students have gotten more than
^their punishment, they have suf
fered enough.
“We like to show our best light,
we don’t like to show our dirty
wash. Maxwell said.
Suspension, according to Consol
High regulations, may be total ab
sence up to three days and may or
may not allow for student to make
up missed work.
Personal request granted
Shipman likes change to halfba
By ROBERT CESSNA
Staff Sports Writer
Tareyton smokers would rather
fight than switch, but the Aggies’
David Shipman woidd rather play
than ride the bench.
Shipman was the Ags’ backup
quarterback until after the Arkansas
game, when he began working out
at halfback. He has remained at
halfback the rest of the year and saw
his first action against Rice, Satur
day in the Aggies 37-7 victory. He
carried the ball seven times for 37
yards. This is not the first time
Shipman has been switched from
quarterback to halfback.
The 6’ 213 lb. Shipman played
high school football at Odessa Per
mian High School. In his sopho
more and junior years he played
quarterback. His senior year he was
moved to halfback when one of the
halfbacks was injured. However,
when the playoffs came around the
halfback was healthy and Shipman
was switched back to quarterback.
He was able to lead his team to the
state championship and made all-
district as well as all-state teams.
At the beginning of the 1974 sea
son Shipman was a second string
quarterback because of his lack of
playing time. Last year before the
season began Shipman injured his
knee.
“I was running the option in one
of the last scrimmages when it hap
pened,” Shipman said. An injured
knee is one of the most frequent
injuries a running back can sustain.
He had to have an operation to re
move cartilage.
“I had a couple of stitches in the
inner ligament because it wasn’t
completely torn,” Shipman said.
Shipman came back last year to hold
on extra points but could not play
other than that.
“I have enough confidence that it
(the knee) doesn’t bother me men
tally and physically I nearly have all
my speed back,” Shipman said. It
feels good running on it, he added.
Shipman may have been physi
cally and mentally ready to take
over the reigns of the Aggies in 1974
but Walker was an obstacle to over
come. For the time being Shipman
was a second string quarterback.
“He (Walker) had a season’s play
and I had just come back. He should
have been starting, and I was willing
to wait fot the situation where I
could play,” Shipman said. “The
situation never did occur. I never
had a chance to go into a relaxed
situation to prove what I could do. ”
If Shipman decided to remain at
quarterback and fight it out with
Walker he realized it would be for
the rest of his time at A&M. Both
are sophomores and have their col
lege careers ahead of them. If this
was the pros Shipman would have
demanded to be traded. His options
in college are to quit, transfer or
change positions. Shipman chose
the latter.
After the Arkansas game in which
the Aggies were again hit with in
juries in the running back area,
Shipman decided to change posi
tions. “After viewing the films on
Sunday I went to Coach Bellard and
requested the change to halfback,”
Shipman waid. Shipman felt he
could contribute at halfback and he
was good enough athlete to find a
spot on the field of play.
Shipman thought Bellard was
surprised by the request and told
me to see him on Monday, Shipman
said. “I was playing quarterback and
• did have an awareness of the back-
field. I could easily adapt to the
backfield. It’s not that big of a
change,” he added.
The move to halfback may not be
a permanent one for Shipman. In
juries could always bring him back
into the quarterback picture.
Shipman said he could handle the
reins at quarterback should it ever
be necessary. He said he feels he is
adequate in both passing and run
ning.
“My request to go to running
back shows I feel I can run,” Ship-
man ( said. “If I need to run or if I
• t
need to pass I feel I can do it. What
ever it takes to win I’m going to try
it."
In the Arkansas game, *T felt
strange not being on the field play
ing for two years. I thought I did a
reasonably good job,’’ Shipman
said. “My blocking wasn’t that good,
occasionally I would get a good
block. I need to work on it. I did a lot
of blocking at high school and it will
just take time,” he said.
In the upcoming Texas game
Shipman may see some action and it
would come against a team that
tried to recruit him. “I really don't
known why I chose A&M,” Ship-
man said. “I enjoyed the atmos
phere of the college and maybe that
Ui
helped,” he added.
I wanted to come to a tea
was losing, that 1 co
Shipman said. “Ididn’twantto
some podunk team but a
versify. I wanted to help tliem
winning. I had been or
team in high school. I wanted
to a loser and help the teamat«m|
lish something,” he saidtoe^
bis choice of A&M.
In the Texas game Shipman
play against Darrell Royal wIiobI
met when Texas tried to kidlg
"Darrell Royal was all I’ve(n
since 1 was little,” Shipman^
He w as someone I had always*
about. When I methimlcouldl*
passed out. I was nervous and
cited. I wars finally meetingtlie

man said.
