The captains for the 1973 Ag
gie football team were announced
at the squad’s workout this week
end.
Heading the offehse will be
junior center Ricky Seekei 4 and
sophomore quarterback Mike Jay.
Captains for the defense will be
senior Larry Ellis and sophomore
Ed Simonini.
Seeker is a 6-3, 240 pound
center fron) Bay City. Playing
at tackle last year, he was selected
to the aJl-SWC sophomore team.
He platted center as a freshman.
Jay (5-11, 180) is a high school
all - America from Torrington,
W^o. Last year he quarterbacked
tfie Quantico Marines to an 8-4
year against college teams.
Ellis is a 6-0, 170 pound safety
frorri Jacksonville. After making
all-East Texas in high school he
was not recruited and made the
team at defensive back as a walk-
on his sophomore year. He is the
only senior letterman on the
squad.
Simonini (6-0, 205) is, in the
opinion of many, the top sopho
more linebacker in the nation.
He was picked to be the fifth top
sophomore in all positions in the
nation by Playboy and made the
pre-season all-SWC team in Tex
as Football magazine.
Halfback Bubba Bean and de
fensive end Blake Schwarz re
turned to workouts Monday as the
Texas Aggies continued prepara
tion for their season opener
against Wichita State Sept. 15
in Kyle Field.
Both players had missed a week
of drills, Bean with a deep thigh
bruise and Schwarz with a
bruised knee. Defensive end Paul
Hulin sat out Monday’s drill with
a slightly pulled muscle.
A light rain fell through the
latter part of the session as the
offense and defense drilled
against Wichita State plays and
formations. The practice was
closed to the public, as will all
future drills until further notice.
The squad was in excellent
spirits Monday as the opening
kickoff approaches. A large
number of the playing personnel
will be wearing the Maroon and
White for the first time in a
varsity game. Coaches and play
ers alike are hoping for a large
crowd to see what the Wichita
coach Bob Seaman has called “his
best team.”
The Shockers were 6-5 last
year, and Seaman feels they have
improved at nearly every posi
tion. Tackle Dennis Smelser and
guard Bud Trammell will be fac
ing a big challenge because they
will draw the assignment of
blocking Shocker all-America can
didate Rick Dvorak, a 6-4 240-
pound tackle.
There are still tickets available
at the G. Rollie White ticket
windows. Kickoff time is 7:30
