Head Yell Leader Steve Keathley,
|who suffered a separated shoulder
fter Texas A&M’s football game

P. Beutel Health Center after sur-
;ery Monday at St. Joseph Hospital
in Bryan.
Keathley was injured Saturday
when freshmen members of the
Corps of Cadets tackled him after
A&M’s win over Texas Tech Univer
ity.

grabbed it and all the fish piled on. I
could feel something wrong.”
Keathley was taken to the health
center after Saturday’s post-game
yell practice, where he remained for
the night.
“It (the shoulder) was sore,” he
said. “I thought I had bruised it. Af
ter the yells, my shoulder wasn’t giv
ing me full motion and I was in a lot
of pain. I was turning white doing
those yells.”
During surgery Monday docters
repaired torn ligaments and put a
pin into Keathley’s left shoulder.
The senior speech communications
major was then readmitted to the
Beutel Health Center.
Keathley said the pin will be taken
out when his shoulder heals, which
should be within eight weeks.
“In four or five weeks. I’ll put on a
uniform and do a little of the yel
ling,” he said. “Until then, I’ll be out
on the field in civilian clothes and a

sling. As far as going through the
motions of yells, I won’t be able to do
that for four weeks. But my goal is to
be able to yell at the Texas game.”
Keathley said he thinks there
won’t be any change in the post
game traditon.
“It’s a fun tradition and it can be
as safe as we make it as long as we
don’t try to get too radical,” he said.
“We also can exert some controls
as upperclassmen,” he continued.
“We’ll tell the freshmen the main
thing is to not get hurt. The fact that
I ended up with this is enough to
make everyone calm down. But the
mere fact that something happened
to me shouldn’t wipe out the whole
tradition. The injury was an accident
so let’s not dwell on it.”
Retired Maj. Gen. Thomas A.
Darling, Corps Commandant, said
the discontinuation of the 112-year
tradition is not being considered.
