It s been awfully quiet around here, said Mary K. Bellard, wife of the head Aggie coach the Monday after A&M was upset by SMU this season. "He gets quiet — and thought ful, she said describing Coach Emory Bellard in their Bryan home. “He takes out his yellow pad and makes lots of X’s and O’s, trying to right the wrongs.” They have three children, the youngest at 13 is just beginning his football career at Stephen F.

With the retirements of Willis Reed, Dave DeBusschere and Jerry Lucas, and the loss of Dean Memminger in the expansion draft, the rest of the National Bas ketball Association was expected to pass by the Knicks. It hasn’t happened. serves, particularly Harthorne Wingo and Henry Bibby. -They have Red Holzman, one of the game’s most respected coaches whose concept of team defense is the Knicks’ trademark. The Knicks rank with the Chicago Bulls as the league’s top defensive clubs, each allowing an average of about 95 points per game.

Last weekend they posted consecutive victories over Boston and Buffalo, two of the NBA s top teams, then followed up by beating Los Angeles 100-95 Tuesday night. Offensively, with the loss of Reed and DeBusschere, the emphasis shifted markedly to the backcourt. Center John Gianelli and forward Phil Jackson are not consistent scor ers, so the guards knew it was up to them to carry the load. What’s behind their surprising early season success? -They have one of the best back- court tandems in basketball in Walt Frazier and Earl Monroe. And they have.

Although Mrs. Bellard is kept busy with her sons’ activities, cook ing for the husband who hates to eat out when at home and other family duties, she finds time to do volun teer work at Saint Joseph Hospital as a Pink Lady. When she has time, Mrs. Bellard enjoys painting. She rarely keeps any of the things she does but gives them away as presents. Reading is something else Mrs. Bellard wishes she had more time for. Because of the time shortage, she’s let all their magazine subscrip tions run out except for one, Sports Illustrated. Mrs. Bellard was not totally un acquainted with the A&M scene when they moved here three years ago. She had been around Aggies back in her high school dating days, when she came to Aggieland for the bonfire and big Texas game. Now, however, as an established Aggie fan, she has enjoyed learning what’s behind the many traditions. The Bellards met while they were both going to Southwest Texas State University in San Marcos. Mrs. Bel lard, an art major in her two-and-a- half years there, said she would like to return to school some day and get her degree in education. She taught kindergarten for several years when they lived in Austin. Talking about the difference bet ween A&M and the University of Texas, (Coach Bellard served as as sistant coach for the Homs before joining the Ags) Mrs. Bellard said there is no comparison. “Each is un ique in its own way,’ she said. “However, we have come to love A&M and there’s no place like it.” The slender brunette said she had no trouble at all switching her sh outs from “Go, Homs” to “Gig ’em. Aggies. ” M rs. Bellard said it’s some thing few people understand, but as a coach’s wife, you are involved with your husband’s occupation — not merely a school preference.
