FLY NAVY, THE BEST ALWAYS HAVE.
Sherrill expressed confidence
that the Texas A&M contest
could set a standard for other
schools.
“There’s no reason this group
can’t be the strongest group
there is,” he said.
Thursday afternoon at 3, the
alumni athletes gathered to
work out on the Aggies’ practice
facility adjacent to Kyle Field.
But who was in the mood to
practice? The players were hav
ing too good a time talking, jok
ing and needling one another to
get serious about a practice.
After one quick jog across the
field and back, the voice of for
mer Texas A&M running back
Larry Stegent, who played here
between 1967 and 1969, rose
above a chorus of complaints ab
out long-distance running.
“Fm going to give my scholar
ship up,” Stegent moaned. “I
don’t want it anymore.”
The offense went through ab
out six or seven plays, featuring
David Beal, Edd Hargett and
Charlie Milstead at quarterback,
and then the defense players
lined up for a few snaps.
The two units had barely run
five plays when a shout was
heard from a distraught
alumnus.
“Break time!”
Someone must have heard
him, because 10 minutes later,
the alumni trooped off the field
and into the locker room.
It might seem that these play
ers need all the practice they can
get, but from the looks of things,
most of the alumni can still find
their way around a football field.
And from their point of view,

After only one practice session, several members of the Texas
A&M alumni team feel confident about the upcoming spring game
with the Aggie varsity.
Tony Franklin, now a kicker for the Philadelphia Eagles of the
National Football League, said the alumni shouldn’t be thought of
as pushovers.
“I think we’ll surprise some people and do all right,” he said.
“There are probably two or three good licks left in everyone out
there. We’re going to take it pretty serious and go out there with
every intention of winning.”
George Woodard and Bubba Bean, former Aggie running
backs, agreed with Franklin, saying they’re taking the game se
riously and have been working out in preparation for the game.
“I’m not going out there to get embarrassed,” Bean said. “Losing
has never been one of my strong points.”
Woodard said, however, that the alumni don’t really know what
to expect in the game.
“Once we get a feeling of this first game we’ll know a little more,”
he said. “Some of the guys on this team haven’t even seen a football
in 10 years. I think that after they get used to playing again, a little
rivalry might even come up between the players and the alumni.”
The players said there’s more to the game than just playing in it.
“I think the game is a great idea,” Franklin said. “It’s a great
move on Coach (Jackie) Sherrill’s part. I’ve seen people that I
haven’t seen since I graduated. I’ve missed A&M — it’s been a long
time since I’ve walked bn Kyle field.”
Franklin also said the game helps the Athletic Department by
raising money and generating interest among students.
Bean said the game gives the alumni the opportunity to reunite
with friends they haven’t seen in a long time.
“I haven’t seen George (Woodard) in five or six years,” he said.
“The friendships I had while I was here are kind of hard to let go
of. It’ll be nice to come here every year and see old friends.”
Woodard said: “It feels good to get back and have a little fun.
It’s something I’m going to look forward to every year.”
Bean also said that having former players participate in the
spring game also makes the annual affair more interesting.
“When I was playing,” he said, “the spring game was just some
thing we wanted to get over with — w'e wanted spring practice to
end. T he alumni game makes it something to look forward to for
both the players and the alumni.”
