Press Conference
Ags ready for TCU
By DAVID WALKER
Sports Writer
Aggie coach Emory Bellard isn’t
worried about his charges being
over confident when they travel to
Fort Worth this weekend to play
winless TCU.
“Our guys know enough about
football to realize that there are a
different set of circumstances for
each game you play, Bellard said.
“Our team has enough pride to
perform well and they realize that
TCU has been steadily improving in
their last two games. And coach
Shofner (TCU coach Jim) told the
press after the SMU game that his
team woidd be ready for the Ag
gies, Bellard added.
Even though TCU is winless in
five tries and the last 15 straight,
Bellard feels that there is reason to
worn.
"TCU is a pro type team, every
game they’ve played this year
they’ve passed all the time. They
are just going to throw the ball,
period,” he said.
“Lee Cook is the number one
passer in the Southwest Conference
this year. TCU is the number one
passing team in the conference and
the number eight passing team in
the nation. They are averaging over
200 yards a game passing and less
than 80 yards a game rushing,” Bel
lard said.
The boss Aggie said that he wasn’t
worried about the Aggie pass de
fense that gave up over 2Q0 yards to
Texas Tech last week. “We re an ex
cellent pass defense team, they just
hit a couple of long shots,” Bellard
said.
Aggie all-American cornerback
Pat Thomas is still having trouble
with his shoulder and will take it
easy this week. If Thomas isn’t able
to play Tony Blankenship and Mike
Williams will back him up.
On the topic of Texas Tech coach
Bellard was pleased with the overall
performance of the team.
“In the first quarter we scored
two of the three times we had the
ball. In the second quarter we had
the ball two times and didn t score
but in the second half we scored four
of the five times that we had it,”
Bellard said.
He also praised the kicking game.
“Mark Stanley had his best game of
the year,” Bellard said. He was also
pleased with the improved kicking
of freshman place kicker Tony
Franklin. “Tony is improving stead
ily and is building his concentra
tion.”
Most of the back patting went to
Bubba Bean who became the
number one ball carrier in the his
tory of A&M.
“I don’t know what else a back has
to do to become All-American,” Bel
lard said. “He’s very dedicated and
unselfish. He can run inside and he
can run outside. He can block and
even catch the hall when we throw it
to him. I just don’t know what else
you coidd ask.”
Bellard added, “I think without
any question Bubba shovdd receive
All-American consideration. I don’t
think there is any question that he is
All-American caliber. ”
Bryan still atop AP poll
Associated Press
Bryan in Class 4A and Big Sandy
in Class B have maintained domi
nance over their classes in The As
sociated Press Schoolboy Football
Poll by team efforts hut the indi
vidual performances of Curtis Dic
key and David Overstreet certainly
have helped.
. Dickey, all-state as a junior a year
ago, rushed for 191 yards and scored
touchdowns on runs of 41, 19, 21
and five yards last week in Bryan’s
35-7 victory over Waco University
High. Dickey sat out the fourth
quarter.
Overstreet, a junior, rushed only
eight times in Big Sandy’s 60-0 vic
tory over Union Hill but he scored
five touchdowns and rushed for 284
yards. Overstreet broke into the
open arid headed for a sixth
touchdown but pitched back to a
teammate and let him score.
Cuero in Class 3A, Cameron in
Class 2A and Seagraves in Class A,
joined Bryan and Big Sandy as the
No. 1 ranked teams in the AP’s
weekly poll.
All 10 ranked 4A teams won their
games last week and held their posi
tions although South Houston, tied
with Odessa Permian for sixth last
week, dropped into seventh place
this week by one point.
Fifth ranked DeSoto and No. 7
Bridge City were 3A losers last
week. Bridge City dropped out of
the top 10 and DeSoto fell into a
three-way tie for 10th with new
comers San Angelo Lake View and
Navasota.
Fifth ranked Cisco and No. 10
Post were 2A dropouts after losing
last week. Gladewater and Decatur
became their replacements in the
Nos. nine and 10 positions.
Aledo dropped out of the A list
after losing to Lake Dallas, and
Muenster moved into the No. 10
spot.
Sundown, ranked fifth in B last
week, dropped to ninth after losing
to Seagraves.

Battalion Sports Writer
Amongst the quiet, dark hours, when all others have left for their
separate sanctuaries, there labors the small figure of a man in the
corridors of the Rudder Tower. His name is Sam. Sam is a janitor.
His once inky black hair is now touched with gray as he enters his
fifty-second year, nearly all of them, it seems, spent working for
Texas A&M.
But Sam’s services have not been restricted to merely the re
moval of dust or the emptying of coffee cup-filled trash cans. You
see, Sam is the mastermind behind the Aggie football team.
Now Sam has been cleaning coaches’ offices for quite a while and
thus has learned a great deal about waste. That is why he took it
upon himself years ago to use his genius for the good of his beloved
Aggies.
Sam s assistance has never been made public because the secrecy
of so vital an asset must he maintained for the sake of Coach
Bellard s reputation.
Sanitation has only been a sideline job for Sam as he has seen
three coaches take office as premier of A&M sports.
According to legend. Coach Emory, while doing time at Texas,
was the father of that brainchild called the Wishbone formation.
Not so, according to Sam.
“I conjured up that stuff one night when I was eating some fried
chicken on my break. 1 had my feet propped up on a marble desk
and was just settling back into that zebra skin chair when I jammed
my dentures on a wishbone. Now I began to study that there
wishbone and then realized that somebody besides Colonel San
ders could make a fortune with it.
“That was the winter of 68. I worked on it and finally had it all set.
One night when I went to work I just laid the drawings and
do-it-yourself instructions on Coach Gene Stallings’ (remember
him?) desk.
“Well ol Gene was never too much on the bright side. Just look
what he’s done to what was one of the best secondaries in the NFL
at Dallas. He must have thought those drawings were some kind of
joke because he mailed them and a hunch of other trash to Austin in
care of Darrel Royal. I guess Emory didn ’t have anything better to
do one day and just happened to find my creation on his desk and
the rest is history.”
Sam s lineage dates back to the Bear Bryant regime when Sam
was only a fledgling broom pusher.
“The Bear was my kind of coach. Didn’t have any rules. No sir,
none at all. He’s the only A&M coach to get caught by the NCAA for
recruiting violations. So far,” said Sam.
“A&M was just a training ground for the Bear. From what I hear
he’s perfected his act over in Alabama. With a little help from
Governor Wallace of course.
I kinda like ol Emory boy. Lad’s got a good head on his shoul
ders. As long as the Aggies keep winning it’ll stay there too,” he
said.
n
Sam says he is responsible for the success of the Aggie defense as
well as plotting the wishbone caper. “You didn t know I co
authored Melvin Robertson’s hook did you? It was me that moved
Ed Simonini s name to the top of the linebacker depth chart back
when he was a freshman, so i guess I can take partial credit for
m4inghimastar,’’saic(S tV n. “ _ ; ^
n'
How does not having his name in the limelight affect him? “I
don’t mind too much. Sometimes I pretend I’m Emory at night and
push hold for all of the phone lines cause when they’re all flashing it
makes me feel important, he said.
“I also like to give make-believe press interviews. I sit down and
start puffing on a pi lie and tell all the reporters how tough a nut the
next team is gonna be to crack,” he confessed.
Sam continues to serve A&M in his own way, with a mop instead
of a football. But long will his name live in the annals of Aggie lore.
