There is an internal spark of desire in some of us, and
like a flower bud, eventually it develops into a beautiful
blossom.
Jerry Honore is one of those people who had the spark
all along, but it never bloomed until it was almost too late.
The Jerry Honore story is a typically American, typical
ly Aggie success story. It is a dream-come-true Hollywood
movie plot.
Honore rode the A&M bench for three years before re
ceiving an opportunity and later recognition. The Lake
Charles, Louisiana native came to Aggieland in the Gene
Stallings era and was one of the first blacks to don the Aggie
Maroon and White.
Honore’s future seemed doomed to anonymity as he
was not listed on the depth chart and was confined to the
squad team for three years, never receiving a varsity letter.
But the spring of 1974 brought a different atmosphere
to Aggieland. It was a winning atmosphere, a mood that
must have rubbed off on Honore.
Coach Emory Bellard was impressed with the fourth-
year Cajun and said Honore was having his best spring ever
at A&M. Honore’s bubbling enthusiasm shone forth when
he stated in the preseason that “I want to go to a bowl game.
I don’t care which one, I just want to go. ”
The season began with Honore once again in a familiar
position — on the bench. But he kept working and the team
kept winning, both of which had been unusual previously.
The Aggies were 7-1 on the year, but had to face the
unpredictable Arkansas Razorbacks with an injury-riddled
backfield.
Prior to this game, Honore had rushed for 25 yards on
four carries in three years’ service. Against the Hogs he was
to more than double that figure on one run.
Honore, the Aggies’ forgotten man, rose to the occasion
when he was needed on this blustery Saturday afternoon.
This was a game the Aggies needed badly and Honore
made sure they got it.
He got his first shot in the opening quarter, squirting
over the right side for a one yard score, putting the Aggies
in front early. It was the first six pointer of his career and
Honore responded with a jubilant series of jumps.
After he crossed the goal-line, many in the crowd
turned and asked “Who’s that number 30?” or “Honore,
who’s Honore?”
Later in the fourth quarter, Arkansas had just tied the
score at ten-all and the Ags were facing a severe loss of mo
mentum. But again Honore provided an answer.
With the ball at the A&M 40, Honore took a handoff,
shot up the middle for about a dozen yards before being
hit by the Hog safety man.
Honore bounced off the tackle, and with eyes glued
on the goal-line, sped across the remaining white stripes
for the clinching touchdown. The Aggies won 20-10.
On that 60-yard run, Honore doubled his previous three
year total. For the day, he carried the ball 19 times for 131
steps and two touchdowns. Pretty good for a former bench
warmer.
Honore drew deserved raves for his performance and
caused Bellard to have to reveal that this secret weapon
had been collecting splinters for three years.
The next week against SMU, Honore proved his was
no fluke by collecting 65 yards in 16 carries and again scoring
two touchdowns in the Aggies unsuccessful comeback effort.
What was remarkable about this performance is that Honore
was restricted to mostly second half action.
For those two games, Honore had scored all of the A&M
touchdowns and had accumulated almost 200 yards in about
three halves. He added 51 more yards and another touch
down against Rice.
Honore’s dream season ended in the gloom of Austin ’s
Memorial Stadium as did that of all Aggies. However, it
was one that will not soon be forgotten.
Jerry Honore is now gone from Texas A&M and is
working as a juvenile probation officer back in Lake
Charles. It’s a job he is suited for because youngsters and
Honore have always had a special rapport. He dutifully
believes in the good image athletes should have with youth.
Jerry Honore has departed but, like the Aggies of 1974.
should not be forgotten.

900 Miss
tickets left
Witli just three days remaining
until Texas A&M s 1975 football
opener against Mississippi in Kyle
Field, the demand for tickets is con
tinuing at a feverish pace.
As of Wednesday morning, ticket
manager Eideta Miller reported
that there were approximately 900
tickets available for the Ole Miss
contest. “But we may be able to re
lease some more tickets by Friday
morning depending on student
sales, Miller said. “If the good
weather holds, I would estimate a
crowd of about 46,000 for the
game.
If such a prediction holds true, it
will be the largest crowd for a home
opener in A&M history. That
number would also threaten the re
cord for a non-conference home
game of 46,680 for Army in 1972.
“We sold more than $7,000 in tic
kets Monday, and that is just fantas
tic for this time of year," Miller said.
“1 can remember weeks when we
didn’t sell that many.
The Bay lor game is soldout, and
only 200 folding chairs on the track
remain for the Texas game. There
are 6,000 tickets left for Illinois and
2,500 for SMU. Illinois has already
sold the 1,000 tickets it had for the
A&M game and requested 400
more.
Intramurals day
