Tech Key Could Be Adami
To a lot of folks Buster Adami
may be that “other linebacker”
at Texas A&M. But people who
carry the football for opposing
teams know about Buster.
Bill Hobbs won Associated
Press All-America honors last
year and, in a way, Adami seemed
to get lost in Hobbs’ publicity
shadow.
But, last Thanksgiving when
Texas was driving late in the
game and trying to overcome a
10-7 A&M lead, it was Adami
who made a great, diving pass
interception that nailed down the
Southwest Conference champion
ship.
He intercepted three passes
during the year and made two
fumble recoveries and did some
hard tackling along the way.
Oddly enough, Buster was a
high school quarterback at Freer,
Texas, and was honorable men
tion all-state. After his fresh
man season he was held out of
action one year and shifted to
linebacker. He won a starting
berth prior to the 1967 season
and he’s been established next to
Hobbs ever since.
Adami is intelligent, dedicated
to football and is known as a con
tact player.
At Freer High he was presi
dent of the National Honor So
ciety and was class valedictorian.
He also was all-district in base
ball, ran track and played bas
ketball.
He has won Distinguished Stu
dent honors, scholastically, since
coming to A&M and he is com
manding officer of that athletic
Army unit.
Next to the Texas game, Ad-
ami’s biggest contribution to
A&M football came two weeks
ago when he played his best game
ever against Tulane. He didn’t
have as good a night last week
against Florida State but he’s
looking toward improved play
this week when hard - running
Tech hits town.
He made a key interception
against Tech last year to halt a
fourth-period drive.
Although his mates claim he
really saved the day against
Texas last year, Adami didt
care to take that much crei
“I believe that even if I had!
intercepted, the team would ha;
done what was necessary to k
Texas.”
The aim this week, for Bust
and all the Aggies, is to dowl;
is necessary to beat Texas T# •

“If I’ve ever coached an All-
