I’m wrong, there is a jinx — me. I jinxed three basketball players this year with feature stories. After each story the player went out and had his worst game of the year. I did a big story after the Tech loss on how John Thornton wanted a re match with Tech. Well, the Red Raiders went out and lost to Baylor so there was no rematch. The biggest jinx came a couple of weeks ago when I had my first col umn. I wrote a funny little story on the trials and tribulations of having the same name as the school's num ber one signal caller. That did it, I’m sorry David. I should have never called him the number one signal caller. The Aggies have a new number one man now — or do they? David Shipman (At least half of the name is the same) started at the QB slot for the Maroons in Saturday’s Maroon and White game. Mike Jay and David Walker also saw action with the number one Maroons. Coach Emory still won’t say that Shipman is number one even though he started and had the most impressive statistics. “We ll choose a quarterback at a later date,” Bel- lard said after the game Saturday. “All three quarterbacks will get de served consideration after tonight. We are at a point where we can choose a QB because of positive reasons rather than negative ones,” Bellard added. Shipman had more time with the first team than Jay or Walker but all three had impressive stats. Ship- had 92 yards on 20 carries for a 4.6 average. He hit on eight of 13 passes for 183 yards and one TD. Mike Jay carried the pig skin nine times for 45 yards and ^ t a five-yard average. He hit both passes that he threw for 31 yards and one TD. David Walker carried the ball one time for three yards and hit two of two passes for 73 yards and one TD. Sports writers from around the state kept asking Bellard about his QB situation and he kept reminding them that he didn’t know. “I’d like to use them all, Bellard said. After the way all three looked Sat urday night it would be nice if he could. It should be an interesting fall next year when the Ags start work ing out and the race picks up again for the number one QB spot. ★★★ Just thought I would give some of you something to think about. In the past the TAMU Athletic De partment has gone out of its way to see that all students get into all sports events. Remember the Tech football game last year when they put up Owls sign basketballer from Ohio HOUSTON (AP) — Rice basket ball Coach Bob Polk announced Tuesday the signing of Kettering, Ohio schoolboy Andy Miller to an athletic scholarship. The 6-foot-6 195-pound Miller averaged 15 points and 11 rebounds on the Fairmont West High School team in Dayton that won the West ern Ohio League championship.
