The first three games of the1976 Texas A&I football seasongave the Javelinas a scheduleother college teams could onlydream of.

The season opener was in theHouston Astrodome and at thattime, few college squads had hadan opportunity to play indoors.

Then came a home gameagainst Slippery Rock (Pa.), a teamwhich had gained nationwideattention because of its name andalso in Texas because of it beingpromoted by an announcer at theUniversity of Texas home games.

The Javelinas would return toHonolulu, Hawaii, for the thirdgame. They had opened AlohaStadium the previous season andreturned for a rematch with theUniversity of Hawaii.

The Astrodome was billed asthe eighth wonder of the worldwhen it opened in the 1960s.

TSU had defeated theJavelinas, 28-16, in the 1972 gamein the dome but the 1976 Javelinasreversed the decision, 36-20,continuing an undefeated streakthat had started in the last game of1973.

The Javelinas would returnto the Astrodome in 1983 to takeon Sam Houston State. They beatthe Bearkats, 19-14.

The game with Slippery Rockcame about at a time when thename, Slippery Rock, amused fansthroughout the country.

Scores of its weekly gameswere announced at the Universityof Texas, University of Michigan,UCLA and Penn State games.

The Armed Forces Radiooutlets around the world alsoreported the Rockets’ results eachweekend.

Slippery Rock fan clubs werereportedly in each of the 50 states.

How it got its name isinteresting.

Texas A&M-Kingsville high jumper Jeron Robinson was eliminatedfrom the USA Olympic Trials last weekend in Eugene, Ore., in thepreliminary rounds of the event.

Robinson, who concluded his career with the Javelinas in May asthe all-time best jumper in NCAA Division II and one of the bestcollegiate jumpers ever, failed to clear the opening height of 7-0.25.

His best has been 7-7 and he has consistently jumped higher thanthe opening height at the Trials.

Robinson has been injured since before the Division II national meetthis season.

Friday’s competition was held in the rain.There were 26 entries in the high jump and only 11 cleared the

opening height despite having much better marks in their careers.Robinson is expected to compete in international meets this summer,

including meets in Europe and Canada. (Continued on 6)

ONE NEGATIVE THING about sports is the injuries.They can wreck an individual’s performance and can also move

a team from a contender to out-of-contention.Jeron Robinson is an example of this.He’s the all-time best high jumper in NCAA Division II and has

been one of the top collegiate jumpers in his four years with theJavelinas.

Robinson competed in the NCAA Division II national meet inlate May with a leg injury. It possibly cost him a national title. Hisheight at the national meet was inches short of the clearances he isaccustomed to.

Between the national meet and last week’s Olympic Trials, hewas able to work out once, according to his college coach, RyanDall.

He wasn’t able to clear the opening height at the Trials. The 7-0.25 jump is one in which Robinson usually breezes over. He’smore accustomed to clearing 7-7 to 7-5 any time he competed.

Again, there’s no doubt injury played a key role in his failing tomake the finals, and possibly a spot on the U.S. Olympic team.Robinson wouldn’t use that as an excuse, but it is. You simplycannot jump as your best if you’re not in top physical shape…andif you have a problem with one of your legs.

But Robinson has his name listed among the best jumpers in theUSA. And there will be more meets for him.

Dall said that he’s expected to be selected to take part for theU.S. team at international meets over the next few weeks. Thesewill be in Europe and Canada.

Robinson is now a professional and as such, his opportunitieswill be much better than when he still had collegiate eligibilityremaining.

It’s too bad that he didn’t go out as the outdoor nationalchampion and as an Olympian. His resume is impressive enough towarrant such.

FOR REAL?One of the NCAA Division II preseason football polls released

last week has the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletic Associationteams ranked so high, the league would seem to be head-and-shoulders above any other conference in the country.

The first four teams in the poll are from the MIAA: NorthwestMissouri No. 1, Emporia (Kan.) State No. 2, Central Missouri No. 3and Central Oklahoma No. 4.

The conference also had the No. 8, No. 9 and No. 10 teams:Fort Hays (Kan.) State No. 8, Pittsburg (Kan.) State No. 9 andMissouri Western No. 10.

The sad thing is that teams from other leagues won’t get to testthe MIAA clubs until the postseason playoffs.

The MIAA is one of those conferences that doesn’t play non-league schools. Each of those seven teams ranked in the top 10will see only conference opponents until the playoffs.

WHEN THE JAVELINA football team opens with IncarnateWord Sept. 3 in San Antonio, two special dates will be celebratedby the Cardinals. (Continued on Page 3)

Following much discussion, asportswriter turned out a satirical

piece which proved, to him atleast, that Slippery Rock wasreally the nation’s No. 1 team.

His reasoning was thatSlippery Rock had beatenWestminster (Pa.), which hadbeaten West Virginia Wesleyan,which had beaten Duquesne,which beat Pitt, which beat NotreDame, which defeatedNorthwestern, which had downedMinnesota.

This brought Slippery Rocknational recognition and a Bostonsportswriter persuaded BostonUniversity to schedule theRockets the following year.

Slippery Rock’s first trip toTexas came for the 1976 game. Adelegation from the University ofTexas, site of one of the SlipperyRock fan clubs, was at the gamealong with several sportswriters,including a reporter from the UTpaper, the Daily Texan, whichdidn’t normally cover theJavelinas.

It turned out to be anothernotch for the Javelinas on theirvictory belt as they downed thePennsylvania club, 58-7.

Luckily the Javelinas had atwo-year contract with the

University of Hawaii to play inHonolulu. After the 1975Javelinas hit the Islands, theymight not have been invited backwithout the pact.

The Javelinas beat theRainbow Warriors, 43-9, in thestadium opening in 1975.

The trip back in 1976 saw theJavelinas giving another stellarperformance, beating the Warriors,56-21.

In both seasons, theJavelinas took more than 800 fansto Honolulu for the game. Theyfilled Braniff 747 planes fromDallas to Honolulu for two days.

The fans making reservationswere from 65 different Texas citiesand towns, from eight differentstates and from Mexico.

States with fans makingreservations were Arkansas,Georgia, Oklahoma, Indiana,Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippiand Texas.

Javelina quarterback RichardRitchie, who had racked upimpressive statistics in the 1975game, was even more impressivein the 1976 contest.

He completed 11 of 12 passes (Continued on Page 16)
