WEDNESDAY, JUNE 25, 1975
Royal knows coaching business
By MIKE BRUTON
Sports Editor
Darrell Royal is no fool. Did you
hear him say on national TV during
the Coaches All-America Football
Classic that Texas A&M will be the
team to beat in the Southwest Con
ference in 1975. I usually don’t pay
Royal much attention when he
makes public statements about
SWC football, because he puts on
his public-relations face. But this
time I think he meant it.
The Longhorn coach had a very
genuine look on his face when he
uttered those words. And the way
the cards are stacked I’m sure he
wanted everyone to know that the
Aggies were nothing to toy with.
He also made another statement
that surprised me, when he men
tioned the fact that he and his
Orange storm troopers attributed
last year’s day after Thanksgiving
massacre to lady luck. Those three
early fumbles by the Aggies made a
tough job easy for the Horns.
Then Royal got into his pat
terned TV speech about how aver
age the Longhorn football team
would be in the
upcoming sea
son. And then I
stopped paying
attention again.
The Aggies
are in the driv
er’s seat and for
obvious reasons.
But you can bet-
cha that a fellow named Broyles and
tOle Daddy “D” himself will be try-
ling very hard to install an ejection
'device on that seat.
Since Royal stuck his neck out on
TV with his wise choise as to who
would be head rooster in the bar
nyard of the SWC, it’s only fitting
that I interject my thoughts. I’ll
even go further and line up all eight
teams in the order I think they will
finish. Just to he a little different 1 11
start at the bottom and go to the top.
Hanging around in the cellar can
make a team awfully sick, so I’ll buy
some get-well cards and send them
to Fort Worth. The Frogs won’t
make the .500 mark next season;
they can play UTA only once.
That big smile on Al Conover’s
face is beginning to droop a little bit.
He’s beginning to run into problems
finding something to laugh about.
Conover has showed the signs of a
drowning man as it relates to the
coaching profession, by running off
all his assistants and bringing in
another bunch of poor souls. The
Rice Owls will finish 1975 with one
foot in the cellar door.
SMU will have offensive potential
next season, with a quarterback like
Ricky Wesson they should. There’s
one problem that might bother
them slightly. How’rethe Mustangs
going to stop the other teams? Put
the Ponies in the No. 6 spot.
I believe. Yes, I believe that
miracles still happen every so often.
Baylor won the SWC in 1974. Don’t
get me wrong, the Bears had some
good athletes and they have some
good young ones coming up, but
they made a lot of enemies last sea
son. Fifth place is high enough for
the Bears.
The Texas Tech Red Raiders have
a sound football team and a bright
young coach named Steve Aloan.
But there’s some folks in Austin,
Fayetteville and College Station
who’re going to be as tough as nails.
Welcome to football country, Mr.
Sloan. Raiders in fourth.
My handkerchief was all wet after
I heard Royal talking about Texas
not being an above average football
team. The presence of Earl Camp
bell alone puts me to wonder about
his evaluation of the 1975 Longhorn
team. When those Teasips hear the
Texas fight song it’s like Popeye eat
ing spinach. Let’s line the Horns up
third.
When I watched the Arkansas
Razorbacks playing the Aggies last
year, I saw a young, talented, well-
drilled football team. I didn’t
breathe easy until the final gun. You
can be sure that ABC didn’t rear
range the SWC schedule to fill in an
open date. Hang the Hogs on the
second notch.
If things go like I think they will.
I’ll be a happy man on January 1.
The Aggies received a No. 5 na
tional ranking by a major preseason
poll, and our friends at the Newport
News picked A&M as a No. 1 choice
for the second consecutive year.
The Ags have their guns cocked and
aimed and believe me, they are
loaded. Besides, Darrell Royal said
Texas A&M is the team to beat. Any
any man who has a 169-53-3 coach
ing career record knows what he’s
talking about. The Aggies get the
cotton.

ARLINGTON, Tex. — Stan
“The Man” Musial, who devas
tated National League pitchers
for 22 years from his peek-a-boo
batting stance, headlines a list
of former St. Louis Cardinal
greats who will be at Arlington
Stadium for the second annual
Old Timers Game on July 19.
A group of former American
League stars will oppose the Car
dinals in a brief exhibition which
precedes the Texas-Boston regu
lar season game. The Old Timers
game will commemorate the 75th
anniversary of the American
League.
Musial is Mr. Cardinal. A
statue of the Pennsylvania-born
slugger stands in front of Busch
Memorial Stadium in St. Louis,
Missouri as a testimony to a ball
player who designed the St. Louis
Cardinals standard of excellence.
How Musial ever hit from his
famous crouch seems beyond be
lief. His stance has been described
as “a naughty kid peeking
around the corner to see if the
cops are coming.”
He uncoiled and hit rifle shots
from that lefthanded stance. A
pinch hit double in Wrigley Field
against the Chicago Cubs was his
3,000th hit. He collected 630 more
before he retired after the 1963
season.
He won seven batting titles. He
averaged more than one hit per
game during his career. His ca
reer batting average was .331.
When time finally robbed him
of his physical talent and No. 6
retired, he owned or shared 19
major league records, 29 National
League records and nine All-Star
records.
Musial’s finest year was 1948
when he hit .376 which included
46 doubles, 18 triples, 39 homers,
135 runs and 131 RBI’s. He col
lected a total of 230 hits and had
a slugging percentage of .702.
He once hit five home runs in
a doubleheader and had four
games in which he collected five
or more hits.
Musial appeared in 24 All-Star
games and was on the winning
team 13 times. He went to bat 63
times in All-Star competition and
had twenty hits including six
home runs. His solo homer in the
bottom of the 12th in the 1955
All-Star game in Milwaukee lifted
the National League past the
American League, 6-5.
Oddly enough, Musial began
his professional career as a pitch
er. An injured pitching shoulder
forced him to switch to the out
field where he began his rise to
the major leagues in 1941.
His first full year with the
Cardinals was 1942 when he hit
.315. He was a .300 hitter for the
next 15 years in a row.
Ag linebackers
solidify defense
(continued from page 7)
sideline to sideline and he’s as
agile as they come. One A&M de
fensive coach said Jackson is
actually a better overall athlete
than McCrumbly. And that’s
quite a compliment.
One of the strongest points of
the Aggie linebacking corps is
depth and versatility Jesse Hun-
nicutt, who made a strong show
ing in the spring, and Phil Ben
nett along with swift Lester
Hayes make up quite a backup
crew. Hayes ended the spring at
safety but will be used as an
outside linebacker if needed.
It has been said by many that
the linebackers make a defense.
They have to play dual roles in
the total defense scope. They
must be ready to fortify the line
and plug gaps to impede running
backs. At the same time they
must be able to drop back and
aid the secondary by filling short
zones in passing situations. With
a linebacking unit like the Ag
gies’, many SWC football teams
may find it difficult to run or
pass against the Maroon.
