THE BATTALION Page 15 WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1977 U quartol e <l anj] Wsesij United Press International |\V YORK —■ When Freddie Lice's off his jt'rsey and pads, ik at that physique of his and ■iyourself, here’s a guy with the f t build — to run the 220, do a md-a-half backward somersault this Sj Today football, tomorrow medicine three-meter board or maybe the electric guitar for some ii'd never take him for a profes- , 1 football player. Unless you d to see him play. Then you Jn’t have the slightest doubt lore. Freddie Scott is one of the Balti more Colts’ wide receivers and be fore the year is over, he could be come their most important one. If the Colts figure on going any where this season, anywhere like, say, the Super Bowl four months from now, they’re resigned to the fact their only way of getting there is with "The Bomb.” Fortunately for them, they have someone to throw it. A young fellow by the name of Bert Jones. Nobody in the NFL can whip the ball like he can, which does! 1 1 mean a thing if there’s no one to catch it. In that regard, the obvious name that jumps to mind is Roger Carr because he and Jones work together with a football the same way Steve Carlton and Tim McCarver do with a baseball, so normally the Colts wouldn’t have any concern in that area. They do have, though. For one thing, Carr reported to them late after holding out and for another, they have no guarantee the knee problem he has been having won’t turn out to be one of those year-long propositions. That still leaves them Glenn Doughty, who had his best season last year with 40 catches for 628 yards and five touchdowns. Those aren’t such bad numbers, you say. You’re right, but they don’t show all the passes he dropped either. So that brings us right back to Freddie Scott, the 25-year-old Grady, Ark., speedster. He’s listed as being 6-2 and 170 Aggie notes. . . e Texas A&M-Michigan football game will —_-hoff at 12:50 p.m. Saturday due to television, id A4| 3C-TV pre-game show will begin at 12:30 p.m. The telecast is regional but will be carried by 80 ■reent of the nation. I he game marks the first time I at least two decades that a highly rated Aggie !««/ 311 W '^ nieet a highly rated intersectional oppo- 'u/ll nt, Michigan is rated No. 3 and A&M No 5 in ^ ith AP and U PI. A crowd in the neighborhood of 105,000 is ex- I Fooi !cle ^' total could break the stadium record set usly* a ' nst Ohio State last year. The total could be the [Jiey, rgest crowd ever to see a Southwest Conference YoitJ am Play, surpassing the 104,000 who saw Baylor rBra ay Michigan in 1975. tlaiitd The previous high to see A&M play was at Ohio fthe! ate ' n l^TO. A crowd of 85,657 saw that contest. Ite 55,000 who watched the A&M-Texas Tech ime was a Jones Stadium record last Saturday ght. A&M s Emory Bellard: It was a top win, no ques- M hen two teams are equal, it always comes wn to the kicking game and that’s what hap- ned. In the second half we played real good field sition except for the* fumble (set up a Tech TD). e really had them nailed down. The defense Byed the best of the year — very solid. The big ay of the game was the screen pass to Dickey. It is executed perfectly. Allison (TT QB Rodney) is a eat player and I truly regret that he. is hurt as |dly as he is but it didn t change our defensive ans any.’ Texas Tech s Steve Sloan: I want to congratulate xas A&M on their win. They did a good job of ntrolling things, especially in the second half, -r- ley had excellent field position and kept us bottled t > the entire second half. Rodney Allison has a bro- JJ n bone in the lower part of his left leg. We’re not TOP lr ‘ ai ” at ^ lis P°mt how long he will be out.” _J ech QB T res Adami who replaced Allison, is the # lunger brother of Buster Adami, a linebacker for d kM 1967-1969. Buster won the Kern Tips award : j P'the SWC his senior year. fLinebacker Roderick Reed scored A&M’s last j P on a 25-yard return of an intercepted pass. But i oring was nothing new to him. As a high school • /I he had 11 touchdowns one season. MIB George Woodard, who didn’t practice any Er 1^”’ ia< ^ yards on 18 carries. He said, "My [giirt a little but the excitement over-ruled ev erything.” George spent last night in the hospital due to his appendix flaring-up. Safety Carl Grulich, who made the tackle when Allison was injured, said he was blitzing and was momentarily blocked by a back. But, Allison hesi tated and I was able to catch him from behind. Offensive tackle Cody Risen: Tech was quick and tough on defense. They filled holes so fast. It s great to know anytime we cross the 50 we can get three points.” Tony Franklin hit on field goals of 48, 25, 51 and 39 yards, all in the fourth quarter- He now has made six in a row after missing his first four attempts this year. The NCAA record for consecutive field goals is 11. Franklin kicked 9 in a row last year before miss ing. Despite one 11-yard punt, David Appleby aver aged 45 yards on five punts. His first two were for 63 and 59 yards. Quarterback David Walker: This ranks as one of the top games for me since coming to A&M. We were really up for this game but we won t let down for the Michigan game. We’re really going to be up for that one too.” A bus load of A&M students had a breakdown en route to Lubbock and arrived in time to see only the last four minutes of the game, but they saw the Aggies score 16 points. The Texas A&M women’s cross country team, a strong contender for the state title this season, made its 1977 debut a winning one. A&M was led by freshman Ileana Hocking, who ran on the Puerto Rico Olympic team in Montreal, with a time of 11:36 over the two-mile course. Martha Sartain had 11:42, Cathy Cocke 12:20, Kim Mallory 12:22 and Cindy Cockroft 12:34. “The girls really ran super, coach David Williams said* The Texas A&M women’s softball team dropped a hard-fought 13-inning 3-0 decision to Sam Houston Saturday and finished third in the TWU Tourna ment in Denton. The Aggies are now 9-2 for the season. A&M nipped Texas Wesleyan 9-8 in the opening game with Sami Evans getting the pitching win and Terry Sandvik hitting a homerun. Kim Bellamy was the winning pitcher in the seoend game as A&M routed Lamar 15-3. Then came the loss to 8am Houston before A&M defeated Texas Wesleyan be hind Bellamy.

Box 92128 Houston, Tex. 77206 pounds, but that isn’t absolutely ac curate because he’s at what he laughingly calls his “all-time high” right now and that’s only 167 pounds. Forget about his size for a min ute. Scott is unusual in a number of other respects as well. He has style, the kind of class that sticks out all over him. Named the outstanding teenager in Arkansas in 1970, he went on to exclusive Amherst College, where he took a pre-med course and was so highly thought of, he was named captain of the football team. And when is the last time you heard of Amherst, an all-white school for years and years, ever electing a black captain? As a senior in 1973, Scott was chosen as UPI’s New England Player of the Year and after graduat ing from Amherst cum laude, he was drafted by the Colts. During the time he has been with the Colts, Scott has begun his post graduate work. Last year he com pleted his second year of medical school at the University of Cincin nati and is determined to become a physician. I ve always had a challenge to be No. 1 because of my size,” Scott says. "Ever since the ninth grade, everybody said I was too small.” “I love football,” he adds, and from the expression on his face you can tell he honestly does.
