Four More Freshmen Moved Up To Varsity] Changes Made In Aggie Offensive Line By BILL HENRY Three offensive line changes highlighted Emory Bellard’s week ly press conference Tuesday aft ernoon. Ricky Seeker, who has played left tackle, was switched to left guard replacing captain Todd Christopher; Mike Park, who was replaced at that position by Seek er two weeks ago, was put back at left tackle and freshman Hen ry Tracy, who was brought up as a reserve center, replaced Buster Callaway at right guard. “These changes are due to our inability to block,” Bellard said. "This is our biggest shortcoming Douglas Jewelry 212 N. Main 822-3119 of all. We just don’t have a good blocking team and we haven’t been blocking well. “We are banking on desire by moving Tracy up to starting guard. We are not looking ahead to next year with these changes in personnel but for next Satur day.” Four more freshmen were brought up to work with the var sity and could conceivably see varsity action as soon as Satur day. New freshman are Ronnie Hub by, who has scored eight touch downs for the Fish in three games, Dennis Smelser, 6-5, 250, Glenn Bujnoch, 6-5, 250 and Pat Thom as, 5-10, 175. Mark Green, who suffered a sprained knee against TCU, has not been able to run in practice this week and will not play against Baylor Saturday and it is uncertain when he will be back in the lineup according to Bellard. The backfield, as it now stands, will be Don Dean at quarterback, Brad Dusek at fullback, Bubba Bean replacing Green at left half and Skip Walker at right half. Hubby will back up both halfback spots. There is also a possibility that Grady Hoermann may miss Sat urday’s game due to an injured foot suffered against TCU. He hasn’t been able to run in practice yet this week. “We’ll just have to see what happens by Saturday night as to whether he plays or not,” Bellard said. “If he is unable, Ken Strat ton and Dennis Carruth will play.” Baylor, who stands in a 2-3, is highly regarded by Bellard. “Baylor has a real aggressive team,” he said. “They have a lot of talented people and it will be a tough ole football game just like every one we’ve played this year. Roger Goree (All-America candidate at defensive end who was the sophomore of the year two years ago and SWC Defensive Player of the Year last year) is a real fine football player and very aggressive but not very large (6-0, 208). He is burning up with desire to play and makes things happen. “They have excellent quarter- backing and have a good, tough running attack. They have good balance on offense with a 50-50 passing-running attack. They can make the big play either way.” Bellard was still pleased with A&M’s performance against TCU Saturday night. “Don (Dean) is doing us a good job at quarterback,” he said. “He threw exceptionally well consid ering the rush put upon him. “We fumbled too many times deep in their territory when we should of at least had field goals which hurt us. Some players played extremely well and the defense played a great game. “We’ve maintained good morale and have exceptional attitude right now.” First Major League Black Dies One Week After Series Appearance BAC Presents CLAY SMOTHERS MSC Ballroom Thursday, Oct. 26 8:00 p. m. Students W/Activity Cards All Others Free . 50^ By WILL GRIMSLEY AP Special Correspondent NEW YORK <A>) _ The man came up, thrust a baseball to ward Jackie Robinson and said, “Will you sign this for me, please, Mr. Robinson?” Jackie blinked. “I’m sorry,” he apologized. “I can’t see it. I’d be sure to mess up the other names you have on it.” “There are no other names,” the man said. “I only want yours.” Jackie took the baseball and painstakingly scrawled his name. It was at the second game of the 1972 World Series in Cincin nati — Sunday, Oct. 15 — and Jackie’s last moment of baseball glory. Yet an aura of tragedy hung like a dark veil over the occasion. “I’m blind in this eye,” he said, pointing to his right eye, “and I can barely see out of the other one. It’s difficult for me to watch a game now. I don’t even see where the ball is. I don’t react at all.” The scene was the subterranean catacombs of Riverfront Stadium. Jackie had flown out to be honor ed by baseball on the 25th anni versary of the year that he broke in with the old Brooklyn Dodgers —the first modem black ever to wear a major league uniform. No one could have imagined then that less than two weeks later, at the age of 53, this great pioneer and Hall of Famer would be dead. It was a magnificent moment for Jackie. Close to his side, as if fearing to move too far away, was his wife, Rachel. His daugh- D trend binder corporation fcrenD SPECIALISTS IN THESES and DISSERTATIONS CUSTOM LOOSE LEAF BINDERS PRESENTATION FOLDERS LOWEST PRICES FAST DELIVERY ter, Sharon, and son, David, were close by. There were Pee Wee Reese, the former Dodger captain, and Joe Black, the ex-Dodger relief pitch er, now a massive man of 300 pounds, and Lary Doby, the first modem black to play in the American League. “It was nice of ol’ Pee Wee to come this far just for me,” Jackie kept repeating, over and over. His once raven black hair now was a crown of stubby silver. He maintained his strong, athletic build but he walked haltingly, un steadily on legs that once kept enemy batteries in a state of apo plexy because of their blinding speed. “I wish Mr. Rickey could be here,” Jackie said. He never for got the professorial old Mahatma of the Dodgers who defied base ball tradition by bringing a Negro into big league baseball. Rickey died in December 1965, at the age of 83. Moments later Robinson was led to home plate before a stand ing room crowd of 53,224 to re ceive baseball’s official salute from Commissioner Bowie Kuhn. President Nixon sent a tele gram praising Jackie for his con tributions to baseball and for his work in preventing drug abuse. Some of Jackie’s soul went out when his son, Jackie Jr., a re habilitated addict, died in an au tomobile accident. “I am extremely proud and pleased,” Jackie said, “but I will be more pleased the day I can look over at third base and see a black man as manager.” Our new manufacturing facilities are located at 309 N.
