Personnel Moves
Blocking, which is a vital part
of a successful football team,
was obviously missing during the
Georgia Tech game, and this
prompted Coach Gene Stallings
to make several offensive line
changes.
Stallings revealed during his
weekly press conference yester
day that he had moved Ed Bred-
ing from tight end to weak side
tackle, Tommy Buckman from
center to Breding's old post and
split end Larry Lee to second
team halfback behind Wendell
Housley. The Lee move was made
because Lloyd Curington is out
indefinitely with a leg injury.
These moves will obviously
tighten up the offensive line, but
the biggest move saw regular
quarterback Harry Ledbetter
moved to defensive rover.
The Ledbetter move came as a
complete surprise to the press
corps present for the conference
since Harry had started 10 con
secutive games for the Aggies as
the field general. Why did Stal
lings make the change?
“Because when we have one of
the sophomore quarterbacks in
the game, one of our better folks
(Ledbetter) is on the sidelines,”
the Aggie boss explained. “Since
Harry is one of the most de
termined and football-educated
players we have, I hate to keep
him idle while either Hargett
(Edd) or Riggs (Charlie) is di
recting the team.
“Of course the move might be
just for a day or for the rest of
the season depending on how fast
Harry catches on to the new posi
tion and how he performs in prac-
MmlcJM Supply
'Pidu/ie. ptawca*-
923 So. Col logo Ave - Bryan,
tice and a game,” Stallings said.
Stallings said the moves came
after the Georgia Tech game
rather than before because it is
hard to see how a player really
stands out by just watching him
in practice.
“After having a game, then you
can really tell if the players are
in the right position,” he said.
The moves might just be what
the Aggies need. After the Tech
game something had to be done
and Stallings made his move.
Ledbetter will give the defense
more football sense and allow the
young quarterbacks to get more
work. The offensive alignment
changes should give the Aggie
signal callers more pass protec
tion and should provide better
blocking for running plays.
No one will really know the
answer until the Aggies are
tested, but the answer will come
quickly since A&M plays Tulane
Saturday.
