Page 10 THE BATTALION WEDNESDAY, MAY 23, 1979 NCAA rules against Shepard United Press International HOUSTON — Illegally recruited University of Houston quarterback Darrell Shepard has been told by the NCAA he cannot play in a bowl game the remainder of his collegiate career unless he tranfers to another school. Shepard Monday received a May 7 letter from the NCAA informing him that Houston’s appeal of Shepard’s bowl ban was refused, a spokesman for the Houston athletic department said. Athletic department officials upset about the decision released the news and the contents of the let ter. “The (eligibility) committee voted to confirm its previous decision to deny the university’s appeal for re storation of the young man’s post season eligibility at the University of Houston,” the letter said. Houston athletic officials inter preted parts of the letter as a suggestion that he go to another school. “The committee requests that the University of Houston inform Shepard of the committee’s decision and inform him of his opportunity to transfer to another member institu tion,” the letter said. Neither Shepard nor head foot ball coach Bill Yeoman could be reached for comment The 5-10, 180-pound athlete has three years of eligibility remaining after red-shirting in 1978. He finished the Cougars’ spring training as the third-string quarterback. When Shepard was not allowed by the NCAA to suit up for the 1979 Cotton Bowl, Houston Athletic Di rector Harry Fouke appealed the bowl ban imposed in 1977. “I think they (the NCAA) made the wrong decision,” Fouke said. Shepard, 20, embarrassed Texas coach Fred Akers on the Southwest Conference signing date in 1977 by breeching a verbal committment and leaving Akers standing at his Odessa, Texas doorstep with a con tract to be signed. Shepard signed later in the day with Houston. Houston was found by the NCAA to have illegally recruited Shepard by helping him finance a car and by exceeding the number of allowable visits with him. The NCAA sanc tions banned the Cougars from play ing in a 1977 bowl and from playing in a 1978 televised game. Shepard’s ban from participating in bowl games was made to cover his collegiate career while at Houston because the illegal recruitment oc curred before he had decided to go to Houston, an NCAA official said.

Bryant, now head coach at the University of Alabama, and members of the 1954 Aggie team, which survived one of the most grueling training camps, ever conducted in Texas, gathered for their first reunion in 25 years Friday at the scene of the camp. The 10-day training camp, conducted in this remote town at the height of a drought in scorch ing teamperatures, began with about 100 trainees and when it ended, only 27 of them were left. “This turned out to be the nuc leus of the bunch that won the Southwest Conference in 1956, the first time the Aggies ever won it,” said Joe Beck, manager of the Kimble County Chamber of Commerce which helped make arrangements for the re- Bryant, in an effort to build one of the many winning football teams he has coached over the years, selected Junction because of its remoteness and because at the time Texas A&M operated an adjunct campus in the hill coun try town. The campus is now op-- erated by Texas Tech University. Many names among the 27 who lasted through the camp and went on to play on the 1956 team — which won 10 games, suffered no losses and had one tie — are household names in the sporting world today. They include Jack Pardee, now head coach of the Washing ton Redskins; Jerry Caliborne, head coach at the University of Maryland; Marvin Tate, athletic director at Texas A&M; Don Watson and Dee Powell, both former assistant coaches at Texas A&M; Gene Stallings, assistant coach for the Dallas Cowboys; Tom Tips, an assistant for the Green Bay Packers; and Willie Zapalac, an assistant for the Buf falo Bills.
