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

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.”

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-

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.”
