Although only a junior with
one varsity letter, Ricky Seeker
is the veteran of A&M’s interior
offensive line.
Last year, as a sophomore,
Seeker was the starting left
tackle. Last spring he was moved
to center and made a smooth
transition to the new position. He
is the only offensive lineman,
from tackle to tackle, who can
be called a returning starter.
The 6-3, 250-pounder from Bay
City isn’t exactly a stranger to
the pivot spot. At Bay City High
he played center, tackle and line
backer and he played some cen
ter his freshman year at A&M.
Offensive coordinator Ben
Hurt, who also works with the
line, says “Ricky is a dedicated
football player with a great atti
tude. He comes off the line real
low and very quickly and he has
excellent balance. He probably is
our best blocking offensive line
man and he’s made the position
change very smoothly. He is one
of our top leaders on offense.”
Ricky has bounced around at
various positions in the line since
coming to Aggieland and he has
continually grown.
As a freshman center he
weighed 225. He finished spring
drills as the No. 2 left guard and
he played his sophomore year at
235, switching from guard to
starting left tackle. Last spring
he was a 240-pound center and
now he heads into his junior sea
son at 250.
He’s a good student in Market
ing and Coach Hurt says that
Ricky’s intellegence and level
headedness causes the other
young linemen to look up to him
for leadership.
Although interior offensive
linement usually are the unsung
heroes of football, if the Aggies
get their offense rolling this fall
you can bet it’s because the line
men are opening holes for the
ball carriers. And Seeker will be
one of the top blockers.

A&M will host the third annual
Southwestern Water Polo Cham
pionships Friday and Saturday.
Two divisions of five teams
each will compete, with the Ags
fielding two teams in each
division.
Competition in Division “A”
will consist of State College of
Arkansas, Hendrix College, The
Bunch from Houston and A&M
varsity “A” and “B” teams.
Division “B” is comprised of
Lackland Air Force Base, College
Station Swim Club, The Bunch
“B” and A&M Frosh “A” and
“B.”
Although A&M varsity is
seeded first in Division “A,” the
Frosh are expected to face some
rough competition from the Col
lege Station Swim Club. GSSC
beat them in the novice tourna
ment held earlier this year and
the team has experienced players
that will challenge the somewhat
greener freshmen.
With a 15-4 record for the sea
son, A&M varsity has had little

To “color the sky maroon and
white” with the release of bal
loons at the kickoff of the foot
ball game this Saturday is Sigma
Phi Epsilon’s goal.
SPE is a nationally chartered
fraternity which hopes to estab
lish the release of balloons as a
sign of Aggie spirit.
For 25 cents a coupon can be
purchased on campus that will
be traded at the gates of Kyle
Field for a maroon and white
“Gig ’Em” balloon. Some 5,000
helium-filled balloons are avail
able for purchase.
Local merchants have gotten
behind the endeavor and will dis
tribute tickets for the balloons at
their locations. These include:
Loupot’s, Sparkey’s, Pizza Gal
lery, Charlie’s Grocery, Texas
Aggie Bookstore, University Na
tional Bank, Home Finder Realty,
the Gentleman’s Quarter and
Discount Liquor.
Coach Emory Bellard said,
“You have my 100 per cent sup
port.” Marvin Tate, associate
director of athletics, also backs

weeks due to game cancellations.
The team placed third in a Cali
fornia tournament, but didn’t
match that record a week later
in Albuquerque. “It’s rough on
the team to travel for four days,
come back and try to catch up in
their studies for three days and
face another tournament for four
days,” said coach Dennis Fosdick.
Games are scheduled every
hour and a half and an A&M
team will play in every time slot.
The tourney starts 4 p.m. Friday
and will continue through 6 p.m.
Saturday, beginning 8 a.m. the
second day of competition.
