Big man Van enjoys hitting
By BILL HENRY
Assistant Sports Editor
Van Odom, 6-0, 236, from
Corsicana, likes to hit and thinks
that playing middle guard gives
him this prerogative.
His true position is a cross
between middle guard and middle
linebacker because he is able to
play up in a two point stance
behind the line or down on all
fours head-to-head wtih the cen
ter. Odom also calls the defensive
sets in the huddle. Nebraska also
uses this defensive setup.
“I really like this position be
cause it gives me the option to
play either up or down,” he said.
“When I or the coaches feel that
the other team will pass I usually
play in a two point stance since
I have to cover the middle zone
in pass defense.”
Odom also has a lot of confi
dence in this new defense, mainly
because of the experience of the
players on this year’s Aggie
squad.
“Last year we had far too many
errors in our defense because we
were young and inexperienced,”
he said. This year we are mak-

ing a lot less errors and the over
all defense is playing much
better.”
Van is looking forward to the
tough road ahead in this year’s
schedule after last year’s lack
luster 2-9 season.
“Last year I was really tired,”
he explained. “In fact I was so
tired during the LSU game that
I had to take oxygen. I was emo
tionally thunk out during the last
18 seconds and physically dead.
When we scored the tears came
freely.”
Odom was asked about having
to play in front of the different
fans around the country and the
difference it made on the playing
field.
“In the beginning of the game
it is kinda tough getting used to
the change in all phases, the field
of play, whether natural or arti
ficial turf, humidity and the
fans,” he said. “At LSU the
fans are quite loud and the
natural grass in the stadium is
usually pretty deep. After the
game starts, though, you don’t
hear too much of the fans because
you have your mind on other
matters.”
The question arose on how he
feels going into this year as com
pared to last and if there was
any real differences in the team
itself.
“I am really looking forward
to the entire season,” Odom ex
plained. “It is my and many of
our players’ last year in college
football and we are real confi
dent on the season. We can be a
challenger this year. Last year
toward the end of the season all
we had to challenge was the cellar
and we didn’t do much challeng
ing in that department. This
game against LSU will probably
be the toughest game we’ll have
because they are really going to
be out to get us after last year’s
upset in Baton Rouge.”
Odom is much heftier than last
year, about 30 pounds heavier in
fact.
“I can play better at this
weight than the 202 I played at
last year,” he said. ‘This is what
I should weigh at the position I
am playing. I have not lost any
quickness over the weight gain
either, so in my opinion this is an
added asset in my favor. It really
helps me in stopping the running
game up the middle.”
The biggest help Odom got for
his new position was the experi
ence he gained at linebacker last
season.
“It gave me added quickness
and agility with the gaining of
information on how to cover re
ceivers on the pass,” he com
mented. “I always have had a
pretty good ability to stop the
The difference in Odom’s style
of play will be noticed by the
opposition this fall when they try
any play, whether running or
passing, up the middle of the
Aggie defense. This style of play
just might get him a spot on the
All-SWC team.
Improved Aggies battle Longhorns
in water polo match here tonight
Tonight at 7:00 the Texas A&M
Water Polo Club will take on its
number one rival in the South
west, the University of Texas at
Austin.
The Aggies, who posted a 6-1
season last year, dropped their
first polo match against the
Longhorns in the fall, and came
back in the spring to thoroughly
trounce a floundering Texas
team.

One dark spot for Coach Dennis
Fosdick is the fact that he will
be playing without three of his
best players. Gordon Taylor didn’t
enroll in A&M this year, Mike
McClellan is out for the season
after falling out of a tree, and
Les Hamman has a hurt finger.
Otherwise, Fosdick feels he
will have a team that can play
better than last year’s team, be
cause it is more experienced.
“We have the know-how,” Fos
dick said, “however, it is just a
matter of being able to put it all
together in one day. Last year,
the game was relatively new to
most of the boys. This year, we
have a lot of new experienced
faces together with some strong
boys who can move the ball.”
Due to start for the varsity
team are co-captain Fred Meyers,
an All-American, Steve Prentice,
Eric Wolfe, Mike Hicks, Martin
Litiken, Kim Blakeman, and Steve
Engle in the goalie position.
In the freshman game, Doug
Meaden, Steve Engle, Scott
Jones, Wade Mattingly, and Kent
Berryman are definite starters.
The seventh spot is still up for
grabs.
