Beware of my feature articles
By DAVID WALKER
Staff Sports Writer
In last week’s column I said that
the day of the jinx is over. 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

HOUSTON (AP) — Rice basket
ball Coach Bob Polk announced
Tuesday the signing of Kettering,
Ohio schoolboy Andy Miller to an
athletic scholarship.

back in 1962. It still is.
Now the champions are teaming up. And urging you to join the
team. Omega Phi Alpha members have just been designated
Texas Football magazine’s official representatives at Texas

extra seats, remember all the con
ference basketball games when they
set up closed circuit TV, remember
the Texas baseball series when
they put up extra seats, well those
days are over.
The department went out of their
way to see that you could see all
these games but now I wouldn’t
blame them if they don’t go to that
trouble next year. With the $10 sea
son pass there will be limited $3.50
tickets on sale and when they are
gone there won’t be any extra seats
for anything but $7.
You really blew it students, you
don’t know how good you had it.
Next year when you are sitting
home listening to a home basketball
game just think, “If I had only gone
for the $17.50 plan I would be
watching this game now. ”
Ag golfers
make trek
to Arizona
By NICK VOINIS
Staff Sports Writer
The Texas Aggie Golf team is in
Tempe, Arizona today ready to
begin play in the 54-hole Sun Devil
Invitational tomorrow.
The tournament, hosted by
Arizona State University, will take
place at the McCormick Ranch Golf
Course May 1,2,3. The field the Ag
gies will be facing won’t be as tough
as the recent All-America Invita
tional in Houston. Three teams out
of the nation’s top ten will be com
peting including Oklahoma State
(No. 3), Brigham Young (No. 4), and
Arizona State (No. 6).
The field will be made up mainly
of west coast teams including the
Western Athletic Conference and
the Pacific 8 Conference schools.
Some top teams out of these confer
ences are Southern California and
San Jose State. The Aggies will be
the only Southwest Conference
member to compete in this affair.
Aggie Coach Bob Ellis will be tak
ing along a six man team composed
of Bobby Baker (team leader at the
AAII), Monte Schauer, Ed Pen
nington, Al Pryor, Tom Sutter and
Gail Mayfield.
This tournament will be the final
regular season match for seniors
Pennington and Pryor before next
month’s SWC Championships in
Lubbock on the 19th, 20th and 21st.
The SDI will mark Mayfield’s first
tournament action this year, Pryor’s
second and Pennington’s third.
Aggie regular Steve Whiteside
will not be making the trip because
of classes. His absence will be mis
sed by the team because of his
steady performances all year.
The sophomore from Midland
whishes he was with his teammates,
but is looking forward to the upcom
ing SWC Championships.
Whiteside says the team to beat in
the SDI will be the host, Arizona
State.
