Monday, April 18, 1983/The Battalion/Page 15 Varsity-alumni game turns lock forward, backward A yle Field deserves more credit than it’s iven. No longer is it dormant in the iring. Now it does more than set the age for a single game or season of exas A&M football. Fans present at the second varsity- umnigame Saturday were shown what as, is and will be Texas A&M football, oachjackie Sherrill peered into the fall '83, while former all-SWC quarterback 3d Hargett relived his successful years an Aggie. Welcome to Kvle Field, the Aggie foot- ne machine. After former yell leaders guided a lodest crowd through the “Spirit of ggieland” and former band members layed the dust out of their instruments, largett once again shouted the signals, topped back and threw a touchdown [tike. It had happened before — in the late Os. T| VJ “We were close in all of them except te,” Hargett said of his 1967 SWC lampionsnip season with the Aggies. a I fhev could have gone either way. We 1 itbeat the last play of the game against HU. Purdue had a great team that year, idtheyjust beat us by four points. Flor- aState beat us in a rainstorm.” OfftoaO-4 start, something happened pedaljthe Aggies that turned the entire sea- maround. While in the locker room of lie Field, Hargett recalled the big day y ft against Texas Tech. “We made a couple of personnel changes, but I don’t know that those were that big a deal,” Hargett said. “We just made two or three or four big plays and won the ball game. We scored the last play of the game. Bob Long made a great pass catch to set that up. There were about six of them (defenders) around, and he was standing right in the middle of them and somehow he came down with it. “We were just happy and proud to get there (to the 1968 Cotton Bowl). I think they’ve had some better teams here since we were here, but they just never were fortunate enough to win the game that they had to. We were. We won the game that we had to. We didn’t have that good a record, but we were able to win the conference that year.” Kyle Field — in a manner of speaking —- brought back Hargett’s past in the same way it provided an opening through which the ’83 Aggies could get a glimpse of what might be. But no time machine would be com plete without the ability to show things as they are today. Where are the alumni now, for instance? George Woodard, the Aggies’ bulky star running back from the late 70s, is still searching for a career in pro football. “I’m still looking for that football dream to come true,” Woodard said after Thursday’s alumni practice. “I’ve been working out and just trying to keep my head together. When you do decide to come back, it’s hard, because you’ve got to go through the process of working out all over again.” Woodard’s dream of playing pro ball almost came true this spring. He checked in with the USFL’s Denver Gold and made the team, he said. But a bad knee kept him from passing the physical. Kyle Field will be a time machine once each spring, when the Aggies of the past come to test the Aggies of the future and tell a bit about themselves in the present. aseball well mtinued from page 14) „ is single and Kevin Smith’s 1 smash down the third-base They put together three two walks and a wild pitch core five runs and take a 6-0 linthe third inning.

The Aggies picked up one more run in the sixth on a sacri fice fly by Metoyer to score Clint Heard, who had walked. Baylor starter Steve Smith pitched a complete game, allow ing four unearned runs as a re sult of the five Bear errors. In the second game, Aggie starter Rick Luecken faced 13 batters in only two innings, giv ing up five runs on six hits as the Bears took a quick 5-1 lead. Cal Wood’s two-run homer, the first of his four hits in the game, gave Baylor a 2-0 lead in the first in- ning. Texas A&M took up where the Bears left off in the errors department, committing two in the second inning as Baylor scored three runs on three hits to move ahead 5-1. From that point on, the Bears did all the damage, as Baylor’s Alan Koonce retired 14 straight batters between Heard’s two-out walk in the second inning and Smith’s one-out triple in the seventh. Texas A&M used four pitch ers, but none could stop the Bears’ offense. Baylor, which had 12 hits in the game, scored a run in the fifth, another in the seventh on Wood’s second home run and five runs in the ninth to nail the 12th conference loss on the Aggies’ won-lost ledger. Texas A&M, which has a 22- 16 overall record, plays the Lamar Cardinals on Tuesday night at 7:30 in Olsen Field. The Aggies play the Rice Owls in Houston this weekend, with a 3 p.m. single game set for Satur day and a 1 p.m. double-header scheduled for Sunday.
