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.

United Press International
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The new
national headquarters for the Fel
lowship of Christian Athletes, a
$ 1.6-million structure built on a hill
overlooking the Harry S. Truman
Sports Complex, was dedicated
Monday.
“We have built our new building
on a hill so that everyone can see the
work of the Lord,” said Durrand
Holladay, chairman of the FCA na
tional board of trustees and a Char
lotte, N.C. businessman. “Every
time we look at this building, it will
remind us of what commitment and
love of God can do.”
During the hour-long cermonies,
Holladay and Tom Landry, coach of
the Dallas Cowboys and past chair
man of the board, were presented
keys to the building.
The FCA’s National Recognition
Banquet, held Monday night at the
posh Crown Center Hotel, was at

award. Brooks Robinson, former
All-Star third baseman for the Bal
timore Orioles, was named the out

Stephen Morgan said, “No player
who has been illegally recruited
shall be allowed to help the school
that recruited him in NCAA cham
pionship competition. ”
That rule was instituted in 1974
after North Carolina State’s David
Thompson led the Wolfpack to the
NCAA basketball title after being il
legally recruited.
“It has been applied in similar
cases between 80 and 90 times,”
Morgan said.
1954 Ags reunite in hill country
United Press International
JUNCTION — Paul "Bear”
Bryant said recently his 1954
football team at Texas A&M
University may not have won
many games, but it represented
some of the toughest and classiest
young men he has known.
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.
The other players also went on
to make their marks in the ath-
