Last Thursday evening I witnes
sed for the first time in my life, an
offensive backfield with two
fullbacks. The scene was Fort
Worth, Texas, the team was the
South squad of the Texas High
School Coaches Association All-Star
Game and the fullbacks were
A&M-bound George Woodard and
Eddie Hardin.
Actually, Woodard was lined up
at the halfback or tailback position,
but a guy who throws the shotput 63
feet and weighs around 230 pounds
looks like a fullback. And Hardin,
(6-4, 220) was lined up at fullback,
looked like a fullback and ran like a
fullback. What a pair!
Coach Emory Bellard had to be
elated at how Hardin and Woodard
took the fight to the North squad. In
fact, the duo finished 1-2 in the bal
loting for the title of most valuable
back in the game, with Woodard
winning the honors.
Woodard scored the initial
touchdown in the game on a one-
yard blast off tackle. The human
bowling ball from Van Vleck gained
45 yards on 15 carries for the game.
Hardin was the game’s leading
turf gainer, picking up 67 yards on
13 hauls. The big Houston Madison
product ran aggressive and aided
the South squad’s attack immensely
with his blocking. Verdict: South
14, North 0.
Seeing the THSCA All-Star game
really got me excited. I’m ready to
buckle my chinstrap and see the
season get started. Watching Har
din and Woodard would inspire
anybody, even football widows.
If Earl Campbell was at the game,
I’m sure he was taking notes. Har
din ran like he invented the fullback
position, breaking tackles and con
sistently gaining at least four yards.
On a couple of plays, he showed the

Sports Editor
21,544 onlookers how well he could
really run, as he broke into the sec
ondary with a full head of steam.
Woodard was just as punishing as
Hardin, but he’s just a bit more
flashy. He’s what you call a
linebacker’s headache. He danced
like a ballerina at times, using his
speed. But at other times he hit the
line head on, taking half the North
defense with him and sometimes
they still weren’t able to get him on
the ground. He must be allergic to
astroturf.
The A&M offensive line will defi
nitely have to make an adjustment
with Woodard and Hardin in the
lineup. They 11 have to learn to
make bigger holes or it may be safer
to get out of the way. These two
newcomers really impressed me
and I’m sure they’ll impress a lot of
people before 1976 gets here. What
a pair!
A&M had another player on the
North squad, who displayed other
attributes. Darrel Smith, from Fort
Worth Wyatt played both offense
and defense for the North, lining up
at flanker on offense and in the sec
ondary on defense. He was not a
standout in the battle, but he
showed lightning quickness. Espe
cially on an 11-yard spring in the
first half of the game. A man with
pickup like Smith’s shoidd find his
place on the Aggie football team.
The THSCA All-Star Basketball
Game, which was played that Wed
nesday evening, was equally as ex
citing. But I was disappointed that
Karl Godine, an A&M basketball
signee, didn’t get a change to play.
The All-American guard from
Houston Kashmere was barred from
the game because of an apparent
failure to communicate between
him and the selection committee for
the game. The THSCA usually
keeps contact with the selected
athlete’s coach, which in Godine’s
case the coach Weldon Drew had
taken another job and was at New
Mexico State.
After the selection committee
had phoned Godine’s home, he at
tempted to drive to Fort Worth, but
had car trouble in Dallas. When he
arrived in Fort Worth late, he was
told that he couldn’t play because he
had already been replaced.
I only have one question. Who
was the selection committee trying
to punish? They must be masoch
ists. Like A&M assistant basketball
coach Bob Gobin said, “They can’t
hurt Karl by keeping him out of the
game, they can only hurt the game. ”
And people go to all-star games to
see drawing cards. Let’s face it
THSCA, Karl Godine is a drawing
card.
