Mr. Gatti’s University Square Thomas, Williams set goals high for 1975 THE BATTALION WEDNESDAY, JULY 2, 1975 Page 9 5ifIT Arrive ? By DAVID WALKER Staff Sports Writer While some football fans around the nation are trying to pick next year’s number one football team,* there are two Texas Aggies who are ready to help them make up their mind. Jackie Williams and Pat Thomas, the returning half of last year’s No. 2 ranked pass defense in the nation, agree that the Aggies of 1975 will be stronger than the 1974 edition. “There isn’t any sense in me lying to you, I think we ll win the national championship. That’s straight from what I feel inside, ” said Jackie Wil liams, 5-11, 176 pounder from Plano. All-American cornerback Pat Thomas was quick to agree with Williams, “That’s right, it’s just a matter of doing what we are capable of doing. It’s not going to be easy but we can do it. Thomas, the first Aggie All- American first-team selection since Dave Elmendorf in 1970, also added, “It’s really simple, we just have to do what we are supposed to do and do it to the best of our abil ity. ” The Aggie pass defense was No. 2 in the nation last year, but Williams and Thomas feel the extra year of experience helped them to become even stronger. “Telling the truth, we had a good pass defense last year, but with us having an extra year of experience we’ve just got to be better this year,” said Thomas. Thomas was elected first-team All-American by the major polls last year and has already made one major pre-season poll for next year. Thomas gives Williams most of the credit for calling the defensive shots on the field. “Jackie is good at picking those things up. Pie’s the quickest one at changing plays,” said Thomas. While each man praised the other they both agreed that neither of them could do the job if it wasn’t for the rest of the secondary and the entire defense. “We just have a great communi cation among us,” Thomas said. “I think the fact that we all know each other so good really helps.” . The Aggie assistant head coach and defensive coordinator, Melvin Robertson, is pleased to have the first cousins playing on his side. “Pound for pound Pat Thomas is the best athlete I’ve ever coached, Robertson said. (Robertson has eight of his ex-pupils in the pro ranks now.)
