Hamilton likes cornerback spot
By NATHAN HINES
He wears number 44 on his back
i, c nnd those two numbers spell double
^ ^trouble for the opponents. The man
behind those numbers is corner-
back, Jimmy Hamilton.
Hamilton, a 6-3, 198-pound
sophomore from West Jefferson
High in New Orleans, La., is finally
getting his chance to show Aggie-
. ■land, and the rest of the country,
how the guys from Louisianna play
football.
“Tight end and strong saftey were
my main positions at West Jeffer
son, he said. “But I really thought I
was a better basketball player than
football player. I also high jumped
in track.
“We had a pretty good football
team at West Jefferson when I
played. We were 34 and four for the
three years I played varsity. We
were regional champs two of those
years.”
Hamilton said that basketball did
more to help in football than any
thing else.
"Basketball I guess, cause it
helped my quickness, agility and
speed. ”
While on the subject of speed ,
agility and quickness, Coach Melvin
Robertson had this to say about
Jimmy.
“He is is very quick, fast and has
good hands. It’s amazing he can
move as quick as he can being as big
as he is.”
Jimmy is only a sophomore.
Sometimes the pressure of being a
starter affects his play.
“The pressure is not put on me by
any one person, but I can feel it
mainly because I am pressuring my
self to play harder and better.”
Hamilton feels that the team is
also trying to play harder and bet
ter.
“I feel this is one of the greatest
group of people that has ever been
called a football team,” Hamilton
said. “Each person knows what he
has to do to win, and each person
does it.
“This is not coming from just a
few, but from the whole team. The
main reason behind the teams’ work
is the leadership we are getting from
the seniors. The older players like
Walker, Mike Williams, and
i Donahue stay after practice and
Iwork on their individual skills, and
Iheck, if they can do it so can us
younger players.”
! Hamilton played the the best
game of his young college career
this past Saturday, He tipped a
pitch-out that set up our first
touchdown, intercepted a pass and
had a 18-yard runback. He also
made eight unassisted tackles. One
of Hamilton’s tackles occurred when
he came across the field and made a
touchdown saving tackle.
His best contribution of the game
was that no one caught a pass on his
side of the field the entire game.
“I expected him to play good be
cause he has the ability,” Robertson
said. “But he really suprised me by
not only playing good, but playing
darn good.”
Hamilton was a little more hum
ble about his game performance.
“My only desire is to play the best
that I can.”
A plaque upon the wall summed
up Hamilton’s attitude.
To him who talks and talks, this
addage should appeal. The steam
that blows the whistle, will never
turn the wheel.
“I want to help turn the wheel,”
he said.
Cowboys make final cuts
United Press International
DALLAS — The Dallas Cowboys
yesterday waived second-year cor
nerback Beasley Reece and rookie
quarterback Steve DeBerg to reach
the NFL limit of 43 players for their
season opener Sunday at Min
nesota.
Earlier in the day, Dallas traded
second-year running back Jim Jen
sen to the Denver Broncos for an
undisclosed 1979 draft choice.
Cowboys coaches had said Reece,
from North Texas State, had been
one of the better performers in
training camp but had not played
well in preseason games.
Jensen, a 240-pounder from Iowa,
did not run the ball from scrimmage
but averaged 2.1 on kickoff returns.
