Annual Elephant Bowl
to be played tonight
by Cheryl Burke
Battalion Staff
The Army and the Navy are
joining forces tonight to battle
the Air Force and the Texas
Aggie Band in the 12th annual
Texas A&M Elephant Bowl
charity football game.
The Elephant Bowl, to be
played at 6 o’clock in Kyle Field,
is a football game confrontation
between seniors from die va
rious military units of the Corps
of Cadets. Tickets are $ 1.50, and
all proceeds go to the senior
citizens of Bryan.
The teams, consisting of 53
army and navy cadets, 02 air

force cadets and members of the
band, have been practicing ev
ery day for four weeks.
They are coached by senior
members of the Texas A&M
football team. T he head coaches
for this year’s teams are Jeff Far
rar, for the air force-band team,
and John Withers, the army-
navy team.
“I think the coaches really get
a kick out of it,” says Kurt Miller,
one of the chairmen for the
game. “They get a chance to do
all the things they haven’t been
allowed to when they were play
ers. They really put in a lot of
time and effort.”
Freshman cadets compete in a
drawing for the chance to be yell
leaders and officers of the day
for the game. The 10 freshman
off icers for the day, five for each
team, are allowed to dress in
“midnights” — uniforms usually
reserved for only juniors and
seniors. They also collect and
wear all the medals and rank in
signias they can fit on their uni
forms.
Greg Netardus, coordinator
of the Elephant Bowl, says near
ly every freshman in the Corps
entered the drawing for the
positions.
The Elephant Bowl began in
1971 as a benefit game between
the army and air force cadets,
and it raises about Si,()()() every
year for such charities as the
Brazos Rehabilitation Center,
the United Way and a children’s
camp.
The Elephant Bowl was can
celled last year because of diffi
culty in obtaining insurance cov
erage for the players.
Steve Wehmeyer, who is re
sponsible for making sure all
players are covered by insurance
this year, savs the game almost
was cancelled this year for the
same reason.
“To get University insurance
for everyone was just too expen
sive,” Wehmeyer says. “But with
help from the student legal ser
vices and the support of Col.
(Donald) Burton, we were able
to come up with an alternative
program. Each individual play
er had to prove he had liability
insurance of his own, and then
we had them all sign a release
waiver.
“Colonel Burton took a lot of
the responsibility on himself.
(Head football) coach (Jackie)
Sherrill and the Athletic Depart
ment have also been really help
ful." Wehmeyer said.
Some of the equipment for
the game is old equipment don
ated to the Elephant Bowl by the
Athletic Department a couple of
years ago, and the rest was pro
vided by Allen Academy — a
preparatory school in Bryan.
Reunion
for band
Saturday
by Brigid Brockman
Battalion Reporter
Former Texas A&M football
players aren’t the only former
students who will participate in
the alumni game Saturday.
They will be joined by alumni
members of the Aggie band,
who will reunite to perform tra
ditional Texas A&M tunes.
Charles Kinard, president of
the Texas Aggie Band Associa
tion, said the association began
sending out notices about the
reunion in early February. They
sent a notice to every former
band member that was on re
cord — about 2,100 notices.
There was a large response,
Kinard said, but only about 300
alumni said they could partici
pate.
The alumni band will not
only be made up of recent gra
duates, he said. Alumni who
graduated as early as the 1930s
are expected to attend and per
form.
The band association re
ceived one response from an
alumnus who graduated in 1917
who thought it was a great idea,
but said he hadn’t played his
horn since World War I.
Bill J. Dean, assistant director
of the Aggie Band, said sheet
music was mailed to all former
band members who were in
terested in playing so they could
practice on their own.
But their only rehearsal
together is scheduled for Satur
day morning before the game.
The band alumni will play
three songs during halftime, in
addition to the Aggie War
Hymn. They also will play a few
pre-game songs.
The alumni will not march on
the field while playing, Kinard
said, because they didn’t have
enough time to organize such a
performance.
