for a new school record. Two of them—split end Dude McLean «
linebacker Joe Wellborn—made various all-SWC teams. McLean
a new school record in pass receiving with 60 catches for 835 yar^
and led the SWC in that category.
TOP 1966 PROSPECTS—Maurice (Mo) Moorman, a transf
from Kentucky, could be a great one at tackle. The 6-5, 250-poun(i-
who hasn't played any varsity football yet, may be one of the ft
Aggies to play both ways. Offensive guards Don Koehn and Gar
Kovar, strongside end Ed Breding, center Jim Singleton, defensis
guard Ken Lamkin, defensive end Grady Allen and linebacker Rote
Cortez are among candidates as best A&M players. Others who coil
battle their way into that category are tackle Jack Pyburn, quart!
back Harry Ledbetter, halfbacks Bill Sallee and Lloyd Curingte
fullbacks Dan Schneider and Ronnie Lindsey, defensive halfback Pi:
Westerfield and split end Larry Lee among the returning lettei
TOP SOPHOMORES—There are many who displayed enthusiaa
and determination in spring training. Among the top candidates fi
starting berths are split end Tommy Maxwell, halfbacks Wendi
Housley and Bob Long, quarterbacks Edd Hargett and Charlie Rigp
defensive tackles Rolf Krueger and Harvey Aschenbeck, defense I
end Gary Kitchens, rover Joe Wood, linebacker Bill Hobbs, safet]
Curley Hallman and defensive halfbacks Tom Sooy, Jack Whitmon
Javier Vela and Vance Brack. Others could blossom into solid pe
formers during fall practice.
POSITION CHANGES—Major spring position changes sawKsi
Lamkin going from defensive tackle to defensive middle guard sai
sophomore quarterback Bob Long switching to halfback. There we;
other minor changes.
SIZE—With 250-pounder Moorman and 236-pounder Pyburn 11
the tackles, the offensive line still will average only 216. The df
fensive five-man front likely will average about 206, very small
a major college club. It’s doubtful that the Aggies will be bi|
than any of their foes.
KICKING—A key problem. Glynn Lindsey returns as the Ai
place-kicking specialist but A&M goes into the 1966 campaign wil
out a proven punter. A fine prospect, sophomore-to-be center Mi
Caswell, who punted for the freshmen last season, was the top caniij
date until he was involved in an automobile accident during the sprii
and received a broken leg. He will not be in action next seasonj
Track hurdler Steve O’Neal looms as the top punter going into fsi
practice.
PASSING—Should be improved. Sophomores Edd Hargett ai
Charlie Riggs threw well but have no experience under varsity pi
sure. Harry Ledbetter had a disappointing spring but is expect«i|
to display improved passing in the fall.
RECEIVING—The loss of split end Dude McLean makes tbil
somewhat of a problem. Larry Lee and Tommy Maxwell are battlii
for McLean’s vacated post and both are good receivers but not eij

perienced. Strongside end Ed Breding and all of the halfbacks worltfl|
hard on improving their pass catching during the spring.
OFFENSE—It was ahead of the defense at the close of sprinil
practice but still must improve a lot during fall workouts before tk|
Aggies can move the football consistently.
DEFENSE—Lack of size, quickness and experience are big pro)!
lems. The defensive unit will have to improve a lot during the fal|
before it can be called a solid outfit.
SUM UP—The sophomor-ish tint to the Aggie football picturtl
could be fatal, especially early in the season. Trial by fire in thtl
various battle arenas could season a lot of the youngsters quicklyl
But, the depth is thin and the Aggies will have to avoid injury to ke;|
personnel to make a good showing during 1966.
