94 Sophs overcome size The Sophomore football team was a dismal 2-6-13 ending the year with insignificant accomplishments. Although we had a disappointing year, we showed individual improve- ment which will benefit us as juniors and seniors, said Sophomore Pat Murphy. The Sophomore team is a testing place to learn and prepare for the Varsity situation, said Coach Sid Nichols. The Freshman athletes, some who had never ventured on the Memorial campus, much less the football field, were rolled out the Mustang welcome mat with the beginning of the pre-season summer workouts, August 4. In numbers of incoming Freshmen going out for football, this was the smallest group we've ever had, replied Freshman Coach Bill Cronin. Despite the small turnout, the in- coming Freshmen divided into two squads, an A and a B team, number- ing near 20 a piece. The eager fish met with limited success. Their first opponent Rayburn, with the A-team narrowly defeating the Rangers 6-0, and the B- team losing 18-34. We just couldn't get it together, remarked A-team tight end, Peter Fisher. Halfway through the season, the jubilant Freshman squads possessed 6-0 IA-teamj and 4-1-0 IB-teamj records, having soundly defeated opposing teams such as Westchester and Hastings. Left with only four games on the 10- season schedule, the Freshman B-team soundly defeated opponents Elsik, Spring Woods, Northbrook and Spring Branch, finishing with an 8-1-0 record. The A-team fared less fortunate los- ing by narrow margins to Elsik and Northbrook, but bouncing back to finish the season with victories over Spring Woods and Spring Branch and rounding out the season with an 8-2 record. by Russel Ledbetter and Todd Thompson Quick thinking and a steady hand are elements of a good kicker, said Varsity kicker Tom Mur- phy.

OFFER 96 C Colleges offer students bucks Four years of guts, determination and sweat usually underlie the career of a successful athlete of any sport. Dreams of fame or just the satisfac- tion of playing a decent game seem to make the sacrifices worthwhile. The goal of many athletes, however, remains a scholarship and a chance for collegiate play. Stanford University is a school for athletes whose interests lie not only in sports but also in academics. David Baldwin, pitcher for the Mustang baseball team, considered a lucrative offer from Stanford. I flew out one weekend in Ianuary to see the school lStanfordl, and they treated me great. They gave one of their Varsity team members a Mastercharge card and told us to 'live it up,' said Baldwin. Diver Casey Conley also received scholarship offers from Stanford, as well as North Carolina State, and the University of New Mexico. Another athlete with college aspirations was basketball player Reid Gettys. He has received offers from several Texas schools as well as out of state colleges. 'Td like to stay in Texas although if I get a really good offer, I would go out of state, said Cettys. A starting defensive tackle for the Mustangs for two years, Senior Glenn Hendrickson received several offers, among them University of Texas, Baylor, Texas Tech, Oklahoma and Texas A8zM, later definitely commit- ting himself as an Aggie. Whatever colleges these five athletes decided to attend, their future success may not be certain. However, if intelligence, hard work and a positive winning attitude have any influence at all, they have a great chance. 1:U by Kelley Didion Toes pointed and arms outstretched, Senior Casey Conley executes a back dive at the natatorium.
