Page 12/The Battalion/Friday, September 21,1984 Twelfth Man creating havoc By JAN PERRY Sports Writer Even with a new coach and some new players, the Twelfth Man kick off team still continues to do what it was designed for — creating havoc for opposing kick return specialists. Roy Kokemoor, an Aggie grad uate assistant coach, follows in the footsteps of A&M quarterback great David Beal as the coach of the Twelfth Man squad for ’84. The Ags only allowed an average of 13 yards a return last season, but that figure jumped to over 20 against UTEP two weeks ago. Kokemoor doesn’t appear wor ried about the seven yard increase — it’sjust about what the Ags want. “Considering the wind, that’s about what you’d expect,” Koke moor said. “Twenty yards is just about what you shoot for.” Satisfied with the team’s perfor mance against UTEP, Kokemoor said the team isn’t doing any special to improve that average. “We’re just doing what we usually do,” Kokemoor said. “We’re going to try to cover a little better and run a little faster.” He said the new NCAA kickoff rule, which penalizes the kicker for kicking the ball out of the end zone, hasn’t changed the squad’s strategy much. If a kicker launches the ball in the air past the end zone line, the receiv ing team starts play from the 35- yard-line instead of the 20. “Across the country, the kick off has changed,” Kokemoor said. “The kickers aren’t trying to kick as hard as they use to. Because of that, they’re getting a lot more return yardage.” Kokemoor said he has a great deal of confidence in his veteran Twelfth Man team. Wc Photo by PETER ROCHA Texas A&M’s Twelfth Man kickoff team accomplishes its mission against UTEP. Out of the 20-man roster, six of the 10 starters are returning from last year. The six returning starters are: Bill Allison, Tom Arthur, Larry Johnson, Ike Lyles (with two tackles against UTEP), Keith Newton and Ron Reynolds. “They’ve all played football in high school,” he said. “Maybe be cause they’re an inch too short or a step to slow, they didn’t make any regular college teams.” The team consists of all non-schol arship players. However, the team is pitted against scholarship athletes during practice and actual games. “They go against the first units,” Kokemoor said. “And contrary to what most people think, they’re out there for the entire game. “They’ve got to have a little goii for them to go out there againsttl scholarship players,” he said. Part of the team’s function is to as a scrimmage team for the vara players to practice against Astros’ loss gives Padres NL West title United Press International HOUSTON — Candy Maldonado capped a four-run eighth inning with a two-run single and Orel Hershiser pitched a seven-hitter Thursday night to lift the Los An geles Dodgers to a 6-2 victory over the Houston Astros. The Astros’ loss enabled the San Diego Padres to clinch first place in the National League West. The Padres beat the San Francisco Giants 5-4 earlier Thursday. Hershiser walked none and struck out five in improving his record to 10-8 in his seventh complete game of the year. Nolan Ryan (12-11) left the game in the second after he aggra vated a calf injury. The Dodgers scored four runs in the eighth to put away the game and the season for the second-place As tros. Steve Sax reached second on a throwing error by shortstop Craig Reynolds and went to third on a wild pitch by reliever Frank DiPino. Dave Anderson’s sacrifice fly scored Sax to give the Dodgers n 3-1 lead. Ken Landreaux walked and pinch-runner Ed Amelung moved to third on Pedro Guerrero’s sin ■ Greg Brock’s single scored Amelua and Mike Scioscia reached safely a first baseman Glenn Davis’ error load the bases.
