Combined, these have produced a well-balanced and solid team for this season. Looking back, it’s easy to see where Bellard acquired his wizar dry. Prior to becoming head football coach and athletic director at Texas A&M in December of 1971, he posted an unbelievable record of 139 wins, 34 losses and three ties during fif teen years as coach at three high schools. He won 11 district titles, two reg ional titles, and two state titles. Bellard spent five seasons as an assistant coach at the University of Texas. He first designed the wishbone formation at Texas, which used it for six consecutive seasons to gain SWC crowns. For his first two seasons at A&M, Bellard used the “T-bone” forma tion, a modification of the wishbone. However, he has re cently been returning his Aggies to the pure Wishbone and expanding the offensive line. Four more months will deter mine whether or not Bellard’s smiles are justified. “Behind the lines” men score Too often the “men behind the lines” are neglected when the rush is on to praise a winner. Now that A&M looks like a sure thing to bring home the SWC title. Coach Bellard is receiving all of the hurrahs. While it is true that the “Big E ’ is the man responsible for the final product, there are no fewer than ten men who deserve a hearty round of applause for actually getting the ball rolling.
