By the time Darrell Smith
graduates from Texas A&M, he will
have had the opportunity to be both
the hittee and the hitter.
Smith, a senior from Fort Worth,
switched from his previous position
of split end to defensive eornerback
last spring.
‘The coaches wanted me to
switch because we needed more
speed in the defensive backfield,”
Smith said.
The move to a new position was
not the first for the versatile Smith.
He was an offensive back before
moving to split end his junior year.
Now Smith gets the chance to do
unto others as others have done
unto him. Being on the defensive
side of the field after three years ol
offense and hard licks, Smith cannot
wait to play.
"I feel that after being a split end
it makes my job that much easier on
the defensive side,” Smith said. "I
know what the guy is going to do a
little better and know more or less
what is going on in In's head.
Asked if the switching positions
bothered him Smith replied, “It
doesn’t bother me at all, I just love
the game and it really wouldn’t mat
ter where I played as long as 1 was
playing. ”
Smith also had praise for his fel
low teammates.
“We got a lot of cats that want out
here, 1 really think we re going to
make it all the way this year ” he
said.
In addition to playing left corner-
back, Smith handles the punt re
turning duties for the Aggies and
does the job better than most. In
Wednesday’s practice. Smith re
turned two punts for touchdowns,
one' for 63 and the other for 72
yards.
“I got these guys out here who
want to block for me so it sure
makes my job a lot easier on re
turns,” Smith said.
T don t know, I think that I
would rather he catching the hall
than hitting but returning the punts
gives me plenty of opportunity to
gel the hall. With the Aggies im
proved defense. Smith should get
the chance to receive 1 punts often.
Head Coach Emory Bollard
knows the abilities of Smith.
He’s tough as a hoot, a good
athlete ” Bellard said. “If he had
been there (left eornerback) all the
way throughout his college career,
1 m confident that he would he
looked on today as an all-conference
player. ”
What does the future hold for the
man who’s been all over the field?
“Hopefully the pros,” Smith an
swered. “If not I’ll graduate in May
with a degree in Industrial Educa
tion.”
Smith has the intensity that
seems to be taking over the Aggie
practices. Whatever position he
plays, he always gives 100 percent.

Alberto Jinenze, last year’s na
tional junior college tennis doubles
'nampion, has signed a letter of in-
rent to play at Texas A&M, coach
San)« )ayid Kent said Thursday.
brd;fe Jinenze played for Les Paul at
[New Mexico Military Institute
mere he compiled a two-year re
cord of 63-3. He is the No. 2 men’s
player in Columbia and is a former
No. 1 player.
“Jinenze will be a great addition
to our squad here at A&M, Kent
said. “He is the type of player we
need to compete in the South
west Conference.”
the Texas-Oklahoma football game
violates university policy, the
chairman of the school’s athletic
council said Thursday.
The 60 tickets, intended for an
unidentified Corpus Christi Long
horn supporter, were found by a
graduate student in a telephone
booth.
Bob Rochs, associate business
manager of the athletic office, said
he planned to mail the tickets to the
Corpus Christi man but misplaced
them and could not find them.
J. Neils Thompson, chairman of
the athletic council, said it is the
school’s policy to give preference on
the sale of tickets to the Oklahoma
game to Longhorn season ticket
holders, but said the policy was
changed last year to prohibit trans
ferring of that purchase option from
one season ticket holder to another.
“There was an improper transfer
of privileges under this sale,
Thompson said. “Some 15 orders
were improperly transferred. We’ve
taken steps to make it clear this is
not to he done.
The 60 tickets also were taken put
of the ticket office before the regular
time for sending out season tickets.
Thompson said he doubts any dis
ciplinary action will be taken against
Rochs, a longtime employee of the
UT athletic office.
