'HIE ,dniifll Doc's jocks cleaneup man jerry Miller gives the field a going over before game lime. Bum Steers, Bush Whackers and Roaches were only three of the many teams that competed forthe number one title in softball. Team members got it together Tuesday and Thursday nights to play ball, The fun began before the game and continued on the field. Rainy weather led to soggy fields and many games had to be cancelled, Spirits were usually lifted by the next game night when the clouds would break and the sun would finally come out. No team was complete without their share of nicknames. Honker Koufax, T.B., Bodine, and Bugger were a few of the more ingenious names. Often the nicknames were secret and only team members had the privilege of knowing the hidden meaning. Runts, Longnecks, Doc's locks, Brewers, Hooters, Silverspurs and Wizards made up the remainder of the division of the Houston Softball League. Non-jock sports included not only league softball but Frisbee, skateboarding and impromptu softball and football games. Memorial area parks and fields were packed with students searching for an open space to practice and compete in their favorite non- jock sports. School lunch hour provided skateboard and Frisbee freaks with time to partake in competitive and often daring escapades. The numerous sidewalks and concrete slabs scattered around campus were ideal for skateboard enthusiasts to attain high speeds and practice handstands. Frisbee players were often joined by administrators who apparently felt the need to chaperone the lunch time activities. When the heat became unbearable, there was usually a refreshing watering hole within a short distance. Backyard swimming pools, clubs and community pools kept sun worshipers cool and provided a means of relaxation. ,..,. -Y -.,,,g4.g., NON-IOCK SPORTS -159
