A&M football, big topic among coaches Often my name has been con fused with another David Walker around these parts but I usually don’t have any trouble when I go out of town. I went out of town last week and I did have name problems. This time every time I turned around some one said, “Hi, coach. While I obviously don’t look like a quarterback, I must have looked enough like a coach to be called one. Another reason being that if you By David Walker didn’t know someone’s name it was a safe bet to call them coach and you Fbr cats who like putting on the dog.

His uncles are Ed and Dick Modzelewski of “Big Mo” and “Lit tle Mo” fame at Maryland and with Cleveland and New York in the NFL. They called little brother Gene, who attended New Mexico, by the nickname of “No Mo. Now that nephew Gerry has come along you might say there is “Some Mo” would be right. This all took place at the annual Texas High School Coaches Associa tion meetings in Fort Worth. Everywhere you looked you could see coaches, it seemed like there were at least 80,000 of them. One Dallas scribe said that you /'} could tell how many coaches were in ‘ attendance by taking the total number of white shoes and divid ing them by two. (My quick method of predicting attendance without the math was to just count the white belts.) Coaching school is a strange thing. It’s kind of like New York, it’s a nice place to visit but you wouldn’t want to live there. Unlike most schools, people didn’t walk around with bpqkjjC You could see in almost any corner coaches talking about what some other coach had said or done. “I can’t understand why he didn’t run him at halfback instead of quarter back,” one would say. Then there are the coaches who are at coaching school to find a job. You could tell who they were easy, their shoes were whiter and shinier than the ones that have jobs. The big talk around coaching school was none other than our own Texas Aggies. The general feeling that I got was that everyone is as high on the Aggies as I am. If I heard it once, I heard it 50 times: “If the Aggies can find a steady quarter back, they will be hard to beat. I watched Emory Bellard at breakfast Friday morning. He never had more than 30 seconds at a time without someone dropping by to say hello and wish him good luck. I can just hear the coaches around the state this year if the Aggies do have the season that everyone thinks they will have, “Yep, me and Emory talked about that last year at coach ing school.” It’s so nice to he with a winner. . . even if you have to eat cold eggs. Other happenings around coach ing school that has local interest. . . Aggie Ex-basketballer Cedric Joseph was at the all-star basketball game and told me that he was work- ing on a deal to play basketball over seas this year. If that falls through Classified he’ll be back in <idho3Tat A&M in the fall .... If you wonder why we don’t have a story about Emory Bel- Call 845-2611 lard’s Fort Worth press conference it’s because we missed it.
