bad weather pushed the Tulane Fall
Invitational back a day.
The Aggie team couldn’t stay until
Sunday, when the races took place,
and missed their charice to qualify for
the Sugar Bowl Regatta later this
year. The University of Texas and
Tulane University were the teams that
did qualify.
A&M will try again this weekend
in the Frozen Hate Regatta hosted by
Sailing
Southern Methodist University. The
race is the qualifier for the Timme
Angsten Regatta Nov. 25-26 in Chi
cago.
Seven teams from Texas and Tu
lane will compete for the top two
spots. Dave Jones of A&M said the
Aggies have a good chance to qualify
for the Timme Angsten because Tu
lane already has an automatic bid and
UT doesn’t want to go to Chicago.
Aggie Lacrosse resumes season this weekend
Lacrosse Club plays the Corpus
Christi club in an unscheduled match
Saturday at noon at the polo fields.
Corpus Christi is a new club and this
is A&M’s first time to face them.The
Aggies were off last weekend.
Sunday, A&M heads to Huntsville
to play division rival Sam Houston
for the second time this fall. The Ag-
Lacrosse
gies won the last meeting here but
Sam Houston had a good showing in
the Fall Invitational here two weeks
ago.
Next weekend the Aggies take on
the University of Texas in their an

is to Houston tonight in a match with
uisiana State at 7:30 p.m. at G. Rollie
White Coliseum.
■A&M, 16-12 overall (5-3 in the
SWC), gets a break from Southwest
'Conference competition against the Lady
Tigers. LSU visits College Station on the
fijial leg of a three-game road swing.
LSI! stood at 19-9 overall entering the
trip.
■Senior outside attackers Cheri
Steensma and Vivian Viera lead the
A&M attack. Steensma has leads A&M
with 130 kills this season while hitting
.289 and has chipped in 88 digs. Viera
has 117 kills and is hitting .229 while
adding 94 digs.
“The match with LSU will be another
opportunity for us to help ourselves in
the region,” A&M Head Coach A1
Givens said. “A win would give us the
opportunity to move closer to our goal of
attaining an at-large bid to the NCAA
tournament."
Hayes
(Continued from page 9)
defenders took the ball away from the
bumbling Hogs again.
Running back Michael Forrest, whose
7-yard touchdown run in the third quarter
had broken the Aggies’ back in 1975,
was hit hard on a carry up the middle,
and linebacker Jesse Hunnicutt recov
ered at the Hog 30.
Woodard and Dickey alternated carry
ing the ball to the Hog 1, where Big
George bulled into the end zone, making
the score 24-3.
Along with the Aggies’ destructive
middle linebacker Robert Jackson,
Hayes added to the Razorbacks’ misery
shortly thereafter. The two behemoths
chased Calcagni out of the backfield and
smashed him to the cold, hard astroturf
(then Hayes pushed himself up off the
prone QB).
The Aggies got up, but Calcagni
needed help having suffered a shoulder
separation that caused inexperienced
freshman Houston Nutt to take over at
quarterback.
Arkansas scored on a halfback pass
early in the fourth quarter, but the Ag
gies retaliated with an 80-yard touch
down drive of their own.
Walker directed the entirely ground-
based attack during which the Ags at
tacked only up the middle or around the
left side of their offensive line.
With 5:31 left to play, Woodard, who
had been injured and was ineffective the
previous year, vaulted over the ex
hausted Hog defense, then waved his
hands at the dispirited Hog fans (well,
those who were left).
Following the game, Bellard was effu
sive in his praise for the entire squad.
The Wishbone attack hadn’t turned the
ball over at all, while the Maroon Ma
rauders had limited the potent Hog of
fense to 198 yards of total offense.
Hayes led a secondary that held Ar
kansas to 4 completions in 21 passing at
tempts, two of which were intercepted.
“Now you are looking at a live man,”
Bellard said. “A year ago I was a dead
man. Last year we were flat after playing
Texas, and we weren’t as sharp and crisp
as we should have been. Saturday, we
played an outstanding game. ”
With the offense on fire and the na
tionally-ranked defense snuffing out
enemy offenses, the Aggies cruised
through the rest of the 1976 season.
A&M won its last seven games to finish
10-2 for the second straight time (the
only time A&M has posted back-to-back
10-win seasons).
Hayes was named first-team All-SWC
for the second straight season, one of 10
Aggies so honored in 1976 (14 made it in
1975, including nine defensive players).
He also was one of three Aggies to
make first team All-American, along
with Jackson and Franklin. His great
quickness and speed made him a force to
be feared in the arena.
In 1975 Bellard said of Hayes that “he
can run like the wind and will knock the
fire out of you.” From the normally
staid, calm Bellard, that was quite a
compliment.
Simonini pointed out that he knew
Hayes was a player from the time he
showed up in 1973 as a freshman line
backer from Houston Wheatley High
School.
“Lester had great speed, and when he
came to A&M I’m not sure the coaches
knew what to do with him,” Simonini
said. “Garth (TenNapel) and I finally
asked them to get him away from us and
move him somewhere else on the team.
“When Lester became one of the safe
ties, it made our defense better again be
cause of his speed. He blitzed a lot, and
that caused a lot of problems for our op
ponents because they never knew if he
was coming or where he would be com
ing from.”
Hayes remains elusive to this day,
since neither his former National Foot
ball team, the Los Angeles Raiders, nor
his agents, the Hendricks brothers of
Houston, know how to get in touch with
him.
That isn’t much different than he was
on the field, where opposing quar
terbacks and receivers often didn’t know
where he was until it was too late.
Two other games stand out in Hayes’
Aggie career — Baylor in 1975 and
Texas in 1976. In the former he inter
cepted a pitchout and raced 77 yards for
what turned out to be the winning touch
down (19-10). Against Texas, in his fi
nal regular-season game at A&M, Hayes
intercepted three passes, setting the
school record for most interceptions in a
career (14, breaking Pat Thomas’ record
set in 1975).
Simonini was involved in Hayes’
touchdown scamper, the only one of his
career at A&M.
“Tank Marshall and I hit the Baylor
quarterback (Charlie Parker), and the
ball popped right up in the air,” Si
monini recalled with a chuckle. “As we
were falling to the ground, I saw Lester
catch the ball. With nobody in front of
him, I knew that he wouldn’t get caught
and would score.”
Following the game, Hayes was diffi
dent, saying only that “I was about three
yards from the spot where the ball
popped up and I just grabbed it and ran. ’ ’
