be with different faces.
“We had a lot of fine football
players graduate, but we’ve got
quite a few coming back,” Teaff
said. “We brought in as fine a group
of freshmen as I have seen, and
some of these youngsters are going

Despite the loss of the six all-
conference players, the Bears ap
pear to be in good shape for the
Rebels.
Mark Jackson will replace Jeffrey
at quarterback. Jackson is really no
stranger to the job as he engineered
and passed the Bruins to winning
performances over Arkansas and
Texas Tech last year.
Replacing Beaird will be 6-1, 208
pound Cleveland Franklin. “Cleve
land has really come around and
there is no doubt in my mind that if
he stays healthy, we will be in good
shape at tailback,” Teaff said.
Alcy Jackson will take over the
wingback spot after starting at split
end last year. Ron Burns will take
over for Turnipseed at the rover
after being named All-SWC last
year at cornerback as a freshman.
With the quality returning let-
termen and the new freshmen the
Bears expect to he in the thick of the
race again.
Fullback Pat McNeil told last
year’s SWC press tour members
that the Bears would win the SWC
title and they did. He told them the
same this year, and sited the offen
sive line as one reason.
The offensive line of the Bears
averages 247 pounds per man. They
are led by lettermen Sam Harper
and Gary Gregory who has already
given notice that he will fill the
shoes of Schulz.
The defensive Bears won’t he had
either.
The defense is led by last year’s
Cotton Bowl Most Valuable Player
Ken Quesenberry at safety and
linebacker Ron Burns.
“We could have a fine team, but
once again we are facing a tough
schedule,” Teaff said.
After playing Ole Miss the Bears
host Auburn in Waco and then hit
the road for Michigan and South
Carolina before beginning the awe
some chore of trying to repeat as
SWC champions.

If Baylor’s 1974 championship
was a trend setter, Texas Christian
can look forward to a great football
season in 1975.
The Horned Frogs were a unani
mous choice for last place in the
1975 Southwest Conference race by
the 22 sportscasters and writers who
Tuesday finished a 2,250-mile trek
to the nine SWC schools, the same
spot voted Baylor last season before
the Bears 'won their first title in 50
years.
A poll apart was Texas A&M,
which received 17 first-place votes
to be an easy winner over Texas and
Arkansas. Three of the media men
voted for Texas to win and two
others chose Arkansas. A&M was
second on the five dissenting bal
lots.
Ags top poll
The point totals of the teams,
based on eight points for a first-
place vote, seven for a second, and
so on:
1. Texas A&M, 171 points;
2. Texas, 145 points;
3. Arkansas, 137y2 points;
4. Baylor, 116 points;
5. SMU, 78 points;
6. Texas Tech, 74 points;
7. Rice, 47V4 points;
8. TCU, 23 points.
In the vote for individual honors,
Texas fullback Earl Campbell,
A&M linebacker Ed Simonini and
Arkansas tailback Jerry Eckwood
were runaway winners. Campbell
was named on 17 ballots as the out
standing offensive player of the sea
son. Simonini got 14 as the top de
fensive hand and Eckwood totaled
13 as newcomer of the year.
Arkansas’ Ike Forte got three
votes as outstanding offensive
player and SMU’s Ricky Wesson re
ceived one. A&M’s Pat Thomas
got three votes as top defensive
player, followed by Tech’s Ecomet
Burley with two and Baylor’s
Ronald Burns and Tim Black with
one each.

Intramurals Director Dennis Corrington has coined a
phrase for his program in 1975. It reads: “The only loser in
intramurals is the non-participant.”
Heavy stuff, huh? But, one has to agree with Corrington.
Each student has something to lose by not participating in
intramurals. It has something to do with the old saying about ‘all
work and no play.’
Corrington has developed a fine program here at A&M
despite the ridiculous facilities and bureaucratic cow excrement
he has had to put up with. A&M’s intramural program is now
larger than the one at that school in Austin, although there are
nearly 20,000 fewer students enrolled here.
Everyone who has participated in intramurals has some
fond stories to tell. Whether it was shooting at a bent basketball
rim or arguing with a female referee, there is something about it
that becomes a part of us all.
Intramurals will always have a warm place in my heart.
Going back into the not too distant past I can visualize my
experiences with the intramural department.
The fish football team I was on had a perfect record. We
never won a game. But, we must have set the intramural record
for injuries caused and personal fouls. Flag football is sup
posedly a non-contact sport. Well, we lost two people to broken
jaws in the first two non-contact games.
The flags used never seemed to come off very easily, at least
not for the opposing team. Tackling became an instant, and
sometimes enjoyable, substitute. Of course, there was always
someone around to throw a flag in the way.
We almost won one game though. We were ahead 7-6, and
we scored another six pointer that should have given us the
game. But fate and the referees decided it was not to be. We
scored the extra point on a pass, but a flag was thrown, and we
were moved five yards in the wrong direction. We lined up again
and scored again. Another flag. Five more yards. This time we
didn’t make it, and the other team later scored and made two
points on a run to steal our glory.
Volleyball was a little better; at least we won some games.
We heat the Band fish and took sadistic glee in watching them
push off their failure.
Basketball was a lot of fun because we almost made the
playoffs, hut a female with a whistle in her mouth saw to it that
we didn’t. I was called for my first technical foul ever in one
game for slamming the hall down. Well, where else can you slam
it?
I also humiliatingly recall scoring a bucket for the wrong
side. How red can a sports writer’s face get? But for the most
part, our run and gun offense made up for my mental deficiency.
It seemed strange that nearly all aquatic contests were
scheduled for right after chow. If cramps didn’t take their toll,
the water did. You never were really sure what you were swim
ming in. Who knows, Mr. Jaws may have been born in there.
But despite the fractured nose I received playing softball, 1
somehow maintain a favorable countenance when someone
mentions intramurals. Tennis anyone?
