BIBLE CLASS 9:30 a. m. cW By TED BORISKIE Assistant Sports Editor One might catch Emory Bol lard smiling a lot these days. It could be because for the first time since assuming the head football coaching job at A&M he has a lot to smile about. Of the 102 candidates who re ported for spring football drills yesterday, Bellard could gaze across Kyle Field and pick out 43 returning lettermen, a privi lege he has never been afford ed since reporting here at the end of 1971. Only six lettermen are lost from last year’s squad. Safety Larry Ellis, tackle Bud Trammell, quarterback Tim Trimmier, cen ter Darrell Taliaferro and guard Mike Bruton have all played out their eligibility while fullback Alvin Bowers has been dropped from the squad for disciplinary reasons. Bowers is the only starter lost from the offense while the start ing defensive unit returns intact. “We have a lot of work to do,” said Bellard, “but we’re far ahead of any other starting point we’ve had here. The players are in good physical condition; they’re in a good frame of mind and they’re 40 per cent more knowledgeable than a year ago.” Bellard said there would be no scrimmage Saturday as previous ly announced. “We’ll work on fundamentals this week,” he said, “and we’ll scrimmage every Saturday after this one.” Two lettermen, linebacker Ed Simonini and safety A1 Thur mond, were absent from work outs yesterday. Simonini is nurs ing a sprained ankle and a dislo cated elbow while Thurmond is a member of Aggie baseball team. Simonini is expected to be able to return to practice before the Ma roon-White game April 27. “We have the right people in the right positions,” said Bellard, “because they’ve been there a year or two so we don’t have to waste time placing personnel. We can work on a lot of things.” Quarterback will be attracting a lot of attention this spring as five quality candidates are vying for the job. Returning are David Walker and Mike Jay, who di rected last year’s attack, and Da vid Shipman, injured last season. New faces are transfer Kent Bal lard and Carl Menger, who en rolled in A&M in January and will be playing as a freshman in the fall. All made all-state while in high school and any could con ceivably be taking the snap on the first series of downs in the fall. Carl Roaches, who starred the past two years as a split end and kickoff return specialist, will be given a shot at halfback, the position he played in high school, where he gained over 2,000 yards as a senior at Houston Smiley. By positions, the lettermen re turning next fall include: OFFENSE: Split end — Carl Roaches; left tackle—Glenn Buj- noch, Dennis Swilley; left guard HI —Bruce Welch, Craig Glenden- ning; center—Ricky Seeker, Hen ry Tracy; right guard—Billy Lemons; right tackle — Dennis Smelser; tight end—Richard Os borne, David Greeno, Mike Keese; quarterback—David Walker, Mike Jay; left half—Bubba Bean, Jim Hartman; right half—Skip Walk er, Ronnie Hubby; fullback — Bucky Sams, Jerry Honore.
