a . . . are you guys ready for the big
game this . . .
Excuse me. I’m not the David
Walker that you think you are talk
ing to. I’m NOT the quarterback, I
just work here.
If I’ve been through that call once
this year I’ve been through it at least
50,000 times. Let me introduce my
self.
I AM David Walker. I’m just a
sports writer, not a football player
and not one of you can imagine what
it’s like living with the name that be
longs to the school’s number one
signal caller. But more times than
not it’s fun.
Most of the real funny things hap
pened during my freshman year
when THE David wasn’t as well
known as he is now.
I would be sitting in a restaurant
and one of my friends would come
hy and say, “Hey, David Walker!”
I felt like the man who’s broker was
E. F. Hutton.
The funniest thing happened in
my English 103 class. It was two
days after the
Rice game in
1973. There was
a real good look
ing girl sitting in
front of me and
the boys that
were sitting on
both sides of her • ' ' I
had been telling r - . ?
her that I was the quarterback. Fi
nally she turned to me and asked,
“Are you David Walker like in quar
terback?” Well, now she was just
real cute and as you know Aggie
football players don’t date the cam
pus uglies so I figured that one lit
tle lie wouldn’t hurt so I answered
yes. She smiled and I was getting
pretty proud of myself and feeling
fairly lucky when she answered
with, “Well no wonder we re los
ing.”
I was crushed. How dare that
girl. How dare her talk like that to
the quarterba . . . whoops. I
guess that’s what I get for telling her
that in the first place.
Two more cases of mistaken iden
tity happened earlier this year dur
ing football season.
The first one happened the day
after the LSU game. It was an hon
est mistake that caused me to worry
10 years off my life.
I got home about 7:30 Sunday
night and had a message to return a
call to a girl. I didn’t remember the
name but I noticed the area code
was a Louisiana one. I started really
getting scared. I had been told that
those girls on Bourbon Street didn’t
remember names, much less phone
numbers.
I started trying to remember back
to that night on Bourbon Street but
you know how slim the chances are
of an Aggie having total recall of a
night on Bourbon Street. Finally I
got up enough nerve to return the
call. After about a minute of small
talk it was obvious that we didn’t
know each other and it dawned on
me, wow what a relief.
The very next week was also fun
trying to explain which David I was.
It was in Seattle for the Washington
game. There was an Aggie Club trip

and they were staying in the same
hotel that we were. Since it was a
hotel full of Aggies everyone went
around shaking hands and intro
ducing themselves. You can ima
gine what fun I had there.
I thought one old Ag was going to
take a cigar out of my mouth in the
elevator before I could explain to
him which one I was. I still don’t
think he was completely satisfied.
That night when it came time for
the football players to go to bed and
sports writers to go out and party I
really started getting some “I can’t
believe he’s out this late,” looks.
I was with Batt Sports Editor
Mike Bruton who was wearing his
letter jacket that he received when
he was an Aggie gridder and if we
had a dollar for every look that we
got we could have bought a Rolls
Royce and driven back to College
Station.
I guess I can go ahead and suffer
through the trials and tribulations of
being David Walker No. 2. I had
thought once about changing my
name to Virgil Petrovich — but you
know who coach Bellard would re
cruit next year.
Aggies!

Aggie Superstar?
Yep, gang, the IM office is initiating an annual Superstars competition this
year. This competition could end a lot of arguments between swell heads
around campus that like to think that they are the best in many kinds of
athletics. You might even be the first superstar and therefore acquire much
fame and glory. The competition will consist of six events. These are Tennis,
the 100 yard Freestyle (swimming), Bowling, Freethrow Shooting, Softball
Throw, and the Obstacle Course. The winner will be determined through
graduated points system. 5 points are awarded for each event entered. The
points awarded to the top five places in each event will be 10,7,5,3, and 1 point
respectively. In tennis, however, only the top four places will receive points.
Entries are open to both male and female. They are limited to one entry per
organization and each contestant must have a sponsor. The deadline for entries
is Tuesday, April 22. The events will be run on Monday, April 28 through
Thursday, May 1. Check out the IM office for further rules, entry blanks, and
other pertinent information.
Important meetings
The IM Council will meet on Tuesday, April 15. The meeting starts at 7:30
p.m. in the IM office. Also, the Sports Club will meet on Wednesday, April 16.
Presidents and advisors are to meet at 7:30 p.m. in room 232 of the G. Rollie
White Coliseum.
Quick reminder
Remember the IM track competition on April 14 and the upcoming
All-University Championship on April 21.

Saints defeat N-l; become
IM All-University Champs
by Ray Wottrich
The Independent Division winning
Saints soundly defeated N-l, the
Military Division winner, last Tuesday
night in the IM All-University Basket
ball Championship Game. An en
thusiastic crowd watched as the Saints
controlled the game from the opening
tip-off. The Saints used their tough de
fense and quick offense to mount thr
72-58 win over N-l.
The normal rules that were used
during the seasonal play were aban
doned for the title game. During the
season, the games were continous with
no dead time for free throw shots.
Points were just awarded to the oppos
ing team after six team fouls had ac
cumulated. The championship game
was played with 15 minute halfs and
the regular NCAA rules. Since free
throws were shot in the game, there
was less physical roughness on the man
with the ball than there was in most
other games.
N-l was expected to run in a fast and
exciting run and gun type of offense as
they did in their other games during
the season. However, they were con
fronted with a tough 2-1-2 zone de
fense by the Saints. N-l therefore
played a slow and deliberate offense
and took mostly long shots.
The Saints controlled the opening
tip-off and used many fast breaks in the
first half to build their lead. The Saints
stole many passes to begin their fast
breaks. Whenever N-l was down the
court fast enough to set up their de
fense, they played man to man. The
Saints showed good movement on of
fense and scored on numerous drives
and subsequent layups. They showed
good board strength and a quick outlet
pass to start off their fast breaks. By
halftime, they owned a promising
38-28 point lead over N-l.
David Greeno of the Saints led the
first half scoring with 14 points. The
other Saints’ scoring leaders were Bill
Allen, their center and big rebounder,
with 10 points and Mike Jay with 8
points. Mike Jay also received two
technical fouls, both occuring after he
had been called for an offensive foul.

Dan Welsh disqualified N-l’s first
technical foul free throw when he
stepped over the free throw line dur
ing his shot. Nevertheless, he led
N-l’s scoring with 10 points. Mike
Tucker scored 9 points for N-l, with [
most of these points coming from a I
spectacular shot from the left corner.
N-l came onto the floor with some!
obvious changes at the start of the sec-1
ond half. They went into a 2-1-2 zone!
defense to stop the drives and easyj
layups that the Saints had been scoring I
on in the first half. The Saints were!
forced to take outside shots and their I
scoring spree of the first half went|
temporarily nil. N-l showed good hus-1
tie and started a slow comeback from I
their 10 point halftime deficit. N-l also I
put in a flurry of free throw shots. The I
Saints countered and began to pump in [
numerous long shots. Mike Keese of|
the Saints fouled out with 9:58 left to I
go after scoring 4 points. However, the I
Saints bench depth allowed them to|
continue to rebuild their lead. Lindsay |
Sneed of N-l fouled out of the game I
with 7:44 left to go after scoring 111
points. Steve Canter of the Saints]
fouled out scoreless with 2:24 left in [
the game.
For the Saints, Mike Jay led scoring]
with 18 points. David Greeno scored [
16 points for the Saints and was nice
enough to can one basket for N-l in
confusion after an attempted free]
throw. Bill Allen scored 14 points.
Both Kent Ballard and Dan Allen ]
scored 8 points each. For N-l, Dan
Welsh led scoring with 18 points and ]
tied the Saints’ Mike Jay for the game’s
leading scorer. Mike Tucker scored 13
points for N-l. Mike Fonteno, their]
offensive leader, scored 6 points.
