Vol,
Leonard Forey has a lot going
for him.
For one thing, the Aggie jun
ior is 6-3 and weighs 222 pounds,
not bad size for an offensive
guard. For another, the Neder
land native was picked on the
pre-season All-Southwest Confer
ence team by Texas Football
Elmendorf good either way
Coach Gene Stallings, in sum
mer speeches, declared: “If we
have a super-star on our squad it
is Dave Elmendorf.”
A professional scout, after
watching two days of practice
this fall, said: “If there ever was
an All-America, it’s Dave Elmen
dorf. I keep watching him and
can’t believe all the things he can
do and do so exceedingly well.
It’s hard to believe he’s really that
good, but I know he is after
watching him.”
Elmendorf, 6-1 and 198, made
All-Southwest Conference safety
last year. He already had made
All-SWC as a baseball outfielder
and last spring he made the
Academic All-America team in
baseball. He has a career 3.76
grade point ratio out of a possible
4.0 in the tough field of economics.
The Aggies are just thankful
that Elmendorf is around for his
senior season in football. He
turned down a very attractive
offer from the Boston Red Sox
this summer. “I felt I wouldn’t
be fair to myself if I didn’t give
football a chance. I like both
sports. As to what will happen
after this year, we’ll just have
to wait and see.”
What’s likely to happen is a
bidding war between pro baseball
and pro football.
“Elmendorf is a quality football
player,” Stallings says. “Every
thing he does has class. He’ll
provide the leadership we need for
our younger players. I’m just
glad he’s back.”
Stallings worked Elmendorf at
offensive halfback all during two-
a-day drills and then put him back
at safety. On the basis of his
sophomore years’ showing at run
ning back, he’s likely to see some
duty there this fall. Dave rushed
for 129 yard s on 17 carries
against Florida State as a sopho
more and scored two touchdowns.
He had a 6.1 running average
that season as he jumped around
from tailback to fullback to wing-
back to linebacker to safety. He
spent all of his junior season at
safety.
Chuck Hixson, the passing whiz
who guides the SMU Mustangs,
is one quarterback who’d like to
see Elmendorf specialize on of
fense. “There are a lot of out
standing defensive backs in col
lege football. Dave Elmendorf at
A&M is one of them. He’s the
best I’ve ever seen.”
Elmendorf, more than likely,
will play all of the defense and
see part-time duty in the offensive
backfield during the 1970 season.
“Most players with his quick
ness are a lot smaller,” the pro
scout opined. “I can’t remember
when I’ve seen a player his size
with such quick acceleration, mus
cular control, balance and coordi
nation. And, on top of that, he’s
so aggressive. He looks like a
linebacker on the safety blitz.”
Elmendorf hasn’t gotten a lot
of nationwide ballyhoo in his bid
for All-America honors. Around
A&M it’s felt that the youngster
will earn that on the playing
fields this fall.

rooter.
Forey’s wife Norma presented
him with a 10-lb daughter, Lisa,
who will be two weeks old when
the Aggies open the 1970 season
against Wichita State in Kyle
Field Saturday.
That should be incentive
enough to perform well, but
Forey doesn’t need the extra
push. He was marked for excel
lence the moment he signed an
A&M scholarship agreement, and
he’s lived up to expectations.
Forey was a mainstay on
A&M’s first undefeated fresh
man team in 1968. He stepped
into a starter’s role in his first
spring training with the varsity
and has been there ever since.
Texas A&M coach Gene Stall
ings calls Forey the finest block
er on the squad, and maybe the
finest in the league. “Leonard
has the ability to stay with
block for a long time. He
really move the defensive mai
around,” Stallings says.
Forey will start at right gi
when the Aggies take the fitl||
against Wichita. In tandem wit!
right tackle Andy Philley (W
240), the right side of the Agjii
line should open up some hole
for the backs.
Forey has excellent quicknesj
for his size and should

ones this year.
Forey will get a good testd
his ability against such teams a
LSU, Ohio State and Michigan,
which A&M plays on the real
in a three-week stretch beginning
Sept. 19.
With a tough Southwest Coa
ference schedule following that,
including national powers Art
ansas and Texas, Forey and
teammates have a rough row to
hoe.
But with Forey going fortl*
