Ags lose Hardin
for next season
When it rains, it pours.
Texas A&M head football
coach Emory Bellard announced
Wednesday that senior fullback
Eddie Hardin will not be able to
play football this fall due to a
neck injury suffered in spring
training.
“At the time of his injury, it
was our understanding that
Eddie would be fine if he had no
more contact drills during spring
training,” the Aggie coach said.
“It has since been determined
that he will not be able to par
ticipate further in any contact
sports.”
Hardin was expected to start
in the fall for George Woodard,
who was red-shirted earlier this
month with a leg injury,
A 6-foot-4, 229-pound Hous
ton Madison graduate, Hardin
missed the Maroon and White
game last spring with the injury.
In his place, Bellard played
another senior, 195-pound
Raymond Belcher. Belcher, a
newcomer to the Aggie team,
gained 107 yards on 16 carries in
the annual intra-squad game.
“There will be position shifts
this fall to compensate for the
loss of Hardin and Woodard,”

Bellard said. He was unavailable
for detailed comment.
Other players mentioned by
Bellard as possibly playing the
fullback position after Woodard
was injured include David
Brothers and Adger Armstrong,
who both saw action at the
halfback position last season.
Brothers gained 330 yards on
59 carries and Armstrong picked
up 53 yards on 15 carries.
United Press International
DALLAS — The decision by Buf
falo Braves owner John Y. Brown to
rule out Texas as a possible home for
his NBA team didn’t stun local offi
cials as much as it did his own club
president.
“When the wire service story was
read to me, I almost died,” said
Norm Sonju, who was in Dallas
writing up lease arrangements for
the local convention center.
“In talking to John, I had no idea
he was close to a decision. I feel
very bad. I believed very strongly in
Dali as. That’s why I can on as
strongly as I did.
“I just don’t know what to say. I’m
afraid this (Brown’s decision) will
hurt a lot of people.”
Brown said Tuesday night that he
had decided against Dallas primarily
because of the city’s temporary
arena, which would have to be used
until an 18,000 seat facility would be
ready in 1980.
“We took a close look at Dallas, it
is a fine market,” Brown said. “But,
I didn’t want to go in there with the
same problems that Houston had
when they went into the temporary
arena.
“You’re going into a second class
facility and you don’t want to get off
on the wrong foot,” he added.
Brown also said he was concerned
about competing with the Super
Bowl champion Dallas Cowboys for
fans.
“How are you going to fit in as a
pro sport with the Dallas Cow
boys?,” he added. “If you’re going
to compete against the Cowboys,
you better be prepared to take your
best step.”
Brown was granted a 20-day ex
tension from the NBA Board of
Governor’s last week to give him
additional time to decide on a loca
tion for his team.
He says his first choice still re
mains his hometown of Louisville.
“My first preference has been to
try to justify Louisville, but they
haven’t reacted that quickly,” Brown
said. “I thought if I got the exten
sion — at least we could can take
one last look and come up with the
best decision.”
Brown said several officials in
Louisville are still hoping to attract
the Braves, and added that he
hoped to give his hometown a deci
sion by the end of the week.
“I want to have it in Louisville if
the support is there,” he said.
“They’re trying to mount a cam
paign. In the next two days, well
know if it’s going to be viable.”
Brown said he would send staff
members to both Minneapolis and
San Diego in the next few days to
complete studies of the cities.
“I don’t like to keep these cities
hanging and waiting,” he said. “I’ll
be glad when this is over and we can
make a decision.”
Dallas mayor Robert Folsom,
who had worked long and hard at
obtaining a basketball franchise for
the country’s eighth largest city, was
noncommittal over the about face by
Brown.
“Brown’s decision to go some
place else is his loss,” the mayor
said.
“The decision came as no sur
prise. We’ve known from the start
that the temporary facilities were a
handicap. If that’s the way it’s going
to be, that’s the way it’s going to be.
I still think Dallas was the best deci
sion for him.”
“I know this. When our new
arena is finished, the NBA will be
here knocking on our door. Dallas
has got to be on the top of the list for
everything so we’ll be hearing from
them. And who knows, maybe well
be hearing from them (Buffalo) again
next year.”
Meanwhile the artist’s rendition
of a Dallas Express logo will become
a collector’s item and the home Mrs.
Sonju had picked out in Dallas will
go back on the market.

United Press International

played by Texans and Britons in
September. He said the biggest
winner’s check he ever received was
$10,000, “and that was far above the
norm.”
Nelson, a coach of many of the top
pros, said he has studied Lopez’
game by watching television.
“They talk about her being a great
putter. She is. She rolls the ball
beautifully, he said. “But you have
to get yourself in position to putt.
And her irons are flawless. In fact, I
don’t find a weakness in her game
from tee to green.”
Nelson said he hoped Lopez was
not reading the news stories about
her success.
“She can’t read her press clip
pings too much and she also has to
keep her concentration,” Nelson
said. “But I like her attitude. Nancy
is an outgoing person. She relates to
people. And it seems a natural thing
with her. It’s hard to be somebody
you’re not, and Nancy impresses me
as being a warm, lovable person.”
Nelson’s 11 straight victories in
1945 was only a part of the hottest
year in PGA history. Nelson played
in 30 of 32 PGA events that year,
winning 18 of them.
