Finally, it has become obvious
that Texas A&M fullback George
Woodard is missing a bet by not
renting himself out a taxicab.
In a fairly offensive weekend, the

taut athletic director for women and
president-elect of the Texas Associa
tion of Intercollegiate Athletics for
Women (TAIW).
University officials and the Board
of Regents are currently planning
steps to determine the exact loca
tion and anticipated completion
date of the complex.
The decisions will be announced
later this month.
Donald S. Morris, a former stu
dent, said the stock is valued at
more than $400,000 for the com
plex. Morris is a 1951 graduate and
President of Drilco, an oil tool firm.
All women athletes, full schol
arship and partial scholarship recip
ients, would be required to live in
the new facility. In addition,
“walk-ons will also be housed if at
all possible.
“We hope the facility will be as
nice as we expect and the girls will
want to live in the new dormitory,
said Don. “It is also very timely due
to the already limited housing
facilities on campus.
Currently, female athletes are
housed in Fowler and Spence halls.
Last year, Texas A&M had 115
women competing in eight intercol
legiate sports: track, tennis, golf,
gymnastics, basketball, volleyball,
softball, and swimming
“The new dormitory will give us a
big boost in our ability to attract top
female athletes and will enable us to
have one of the best women’s ath
letic programs — both in the state
and nation,” said Don.
Women’s athletics began unoffi
cially in 1972, when it was only rec
ognized as a sports club under the
Intramural Program.
Mr. and Mrs. Morris, who are
funding the complex in coordination
with the University, have made
many contributions to the Univer
sity. The Morris have also estab
lished a President’s Endowed
Scholarship to the Aggie Club, the
organization responsible for raising
scholarship funds for student
athletes.
title and the Cotton Bowl.
Tech’s 17-7 win over Baylor came
as 117 degrees worth of heat sim
mered up from the astroturf at
Baylor Stadium.
“I don’t think I’ve ever played in
heat like that,” said Tech quarter
back Rodney Allison, who ran 54
yards for the Raiders’ opening score
and later threw a four-yard
touchdown pass to Jimmy Williams
that put his team in fi ont for good.
“And I don’t think I have ever
been hit like I was hit. I’ve never
been through anything like this in
my life.”
SMU ran off a 45-21 win over
TCU in the other conference game
thanks to the dazzling footwork of
transfer halfback Paul Rice and the
surprisingly cool workmanship of
freshman quarterback Mike Ford.
TCU, meanhwile, lost its 12th
straight and first under coach F.A.
Dry.
Texas has a new coach of its own
— Fred Akers — and to celebrate
his arrival the Longhorns passed for
238 yards. That’s the most for a
Texas team since 1971, and backup
quarterback Jon Aune threw an 88-
yard touchdown pass to Alfred
Jackson setting a school record. The
Longhorn’s aerial circus pinned a
44-0 loss on Boston College.
The Rice Owls unveiled another
freshman quarterback, Jeff Swab,
and he performed well in guiding
Rice past Idaho, 31-10. Arkansas —
after giving up a touchdown in the
first 90 seconds — came back with
the long distance sprints of Ben
Cowins to pulverize New Mexico
State, 53-10.
