Announcing 1st Annual
David Walker Awards
By DAVID WALKER
Staff Sports Writer
As you know throughout the year
there is at least a million awards
given in sports for everything from
Most Valuable Player to Most Valu
able Gym Sweeper.
Today it’s time for the First An
nual David Walker Awards. The
DWA’s are given to people, places
or things that I came across during
the past year while on the road
following the Texas Aggies.
BEST HOTEL: Washington Plaza
in Seattle. I liked this place be
cause I like a round hotel that has
a monorail running by it.
BEST FOOD: No doubt, Tupi-
namba in Dallas. Take a bow Ed
die, Joe and Greg.
NICEST PERSON: The lady in
Lubbock that went through three
bags of trash to find my press pass.
FAVORITE GAME: Three way
tie. TAMU-LSU in football.
TAMU-SMU (2nd game) basket
ball, and the third baseball game
between A&M and Texas.
Aggies
SURPRISE OF
THE YEAR:
Baylor. They sur
prised them
selves.
MOST UNDER
RATED: A-
nother three way
tie. Jerry Honore
in football. Jerry
had a great season
and did the job everytime he was
called on, especially in the Arkansas
game. Jerry Mercer in basketball.
Jerry never got much ink but some
insiders feel that he was the main
cog in the Aggie championship ex
press. Tommy Hawthorne in base
ball. Tommy had fewer bases stolen
off of him than any other SWC
catcher and he also hit that big
home run that beat the Horns.
SPORTS WRITER OF THE
YEAR: Jerry Wizig of the Houston
Chronicle. He made all 11 football
games and 15 basketball games.
That’s a lot of trips from Houston.

Wilt sponsors
fem track club
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Wilt
Chamberlain has tried to meld into
the masses as just another citizen,
avoiding as much publicity as a
7-foot-l former National Basketball
Association star can. But there’s one
place he often can be found — at
track meets where Wilt’s Wonder
Women compete.
Although he won’t talk about his
days as an NBA star because, ac
cording to his attorney, he “ans
wered so many dumb questions,”
he loves to talk about track and the
team he sponsors.
“Track has always been my No. 1
sport, but it didn’t take me long to
realize I couldn’t make as much
money in track as I could in basket-

ball,” he said recently.
“My club is the old La Jolla Track
Club which went out of business,
said Chamberlain. “My goal is to
give these girls and women a chance
to compete on a level where they
can prepare for the Olympics if they
want.
“I first realized there was a prob
lem with women’s track back when I
was in high school. I competed at
the Penn Relays one year, and when
I got there I realized there were no
female events. Well, my sister Bar
bara, when we were in high school,
was a great athlete.
“She was a sprinter and very fast,
I think she could have been another
Wilma Rudolph, but there was no
place for her to compete, so she
never developed like she could
have.
“She might have been as great an
athlete as I was. ” Chamberlain then
waxed philosophic: “Here in
America, there is a lack of equality
in race, in sex and in sports, too. I
don’t think there’s been enough
equality in the area of women’s track
especially.
corner I have decided to come
up with the first official predic
tions for next year’s SWC race.
1. Texas A&M
2. Arkansas
3. Texas
4. Texas Tech
5. SMU
6. Baylor (I believe)
7. Rice
8. TCU
It could be a tie for first between
the Ags and the Razorbacks. The
Pigs are going to be tough, especial
ly in Arkansas where the Aggies
have to play, but it’s hard to go
against all of the talent on Coach
Emory’s side.
I know that everybody will just
laugh it off and say it’s home cook
ing for the Batt to pick the Aggies
but look at the talent, depth and
experience. How can you pick any
one else?
★★★
The waiting game continues for
coach Tom Chandler’s Aggies. Of
ficial invites don’t go out until May
12. It’s hard to see the NCAA not
giving the Ags a call. There are
only nine teams in the USA that
have a better record than the Ags
and four of them are automatic be
cause they are conference winners.
Philadelphia
trying to get
Dick Allen
PHILADELPHIA (AP) —
Philadelphia Phillies owner Ruly
Carpenter said Monday he will con
tinue to make every effort possible
to get controversial slugger Dick
Allen from tbe Atlanta Braves.
Carpenter, however, did not hold
much hope that the two teams could
reach agreement, saying there is
about “one chance in 10” Philadel
phia will land Allen.
And the Pjiillies chief executive
discounted the theoiy that Sunday’s
trade of Willie Montanez for Garry
Maddox of the San Francisco Giants
has anything to do with negotiations
for Allen.
“We made the deal for Maddox
on the assumption that we couldn’t
make the Allen deal, Carpenter
said. “It would have been brilliant
planning and a real coup if we could
have made both deals at the same
time.
