With Saturday’s annual Ma
roon-White game, head football
coach Emory Bellard will wrap up
1974 spring training with the
brightest outlook he has been af
forded since assuming coaching
duties at A&M.
With 21 or 22 starters and 45
of 51 lettermen returning from
the 1973 team, Bellard can look
for a team possessing a commod
ity rare the last couple of seasons
—experience.
“We had a good spring train
ing,’’ said Bellard. “We got the
information we needed to get on
individual players, worked a lot
with fundamentals and conse
quently we improved.”
This year’s spring game will be
a bit different from contests of
the past. Instead of two teams,
one Maroon and one White, all of
the offense will be in White and
all of the defense will be in Ma
roon.
The first half of the game will
see the first team offense pitted
against the second team defense
and the second team offense lin
ing up against the first team de
fense. The second units will take
on the rest of the squad in the
second half while the third units
will handle kickoffs, kickoff re
turns and punt coverage.
Sophomore-to-be David Walker
will direct the first team offense.
Taking over quarterback duties
in the middle of the season last
year, Walker used spring training
to make his play smoother.
“I would say I am probably
most improved in my execution,”
said Walker. “I feel real confi
dent, pretty sure of myself.” I’m
really looking forward to the rest
of my career.
“It’s hard to say how good we’
ll be next year but all I can say
is that I’d hate to be on the op
posing teams. We play some pret
ty tough teams in the first four
games but, being realistic, I’d
think we should go into the Texas
game with no more than one loss.”
“Walker has a real outstand
ing spring,” said Bellard. “He

has become consistent, solid
correct.”
With Walker in the backfield
will be his namesake (though not
related) Skip Walker, Bubba
Bean and Bucky Sams. Skip Walk
er and Bean both gained over 600
yards as sophomores last year
while Sams is the only member of
the first team who was not a
starter yast season although he
did see plenty of playing time.
“We’ll still rely on our running
game,” said David Walker, “but
we’ll be thrownig the ball pretty
much. We could see some throw
ing on first downs Saturday.”
When he throws, he’ll have a
couple of the best targets in the
conference in wide receiver Carl
Roaches and tight end Richard
Osborne.
Center Ricky Seeker is the
mainstay of the offensive line
and the only senior on the first
team offense. Seeker was a
unanimous second-team all-con
ference selection last year behind
Texas all-America Bill Wyman,
since graduated. Filling in the
rest of the line will be tackles
Glenn Bujnoch and Dennis Smel-
ser and guards Billy Lemons and
Bruce Welch.
“We’ve learned a lot this
spring,” said Lemons. “We’re
(the line) working together as a
team. We know what to do and
we know we can do it so the only
thing left is to go out on the field
next fall and do what we're sup
posed to do.”
Linebacker Ed Simonini leads
the defensive charges, all return
ing starters from the No. 1 de
fense in the SWC last year. Si
monini was a unanimous selection
for SWC defensive player of the
year and made the Associated
Press’ second team all-America
squad. He will be joined at line
backer Saturday by Kenny Strat
ton and Garth Ten Napel.
In the front four will be Don
Long and Paul Hulin at ends and
Ted Lamp and Warren Trahan
at tackles. Pat Thomas and Tim
Gray are the cornerbacks while
James Daniels and Jackie Wil
liams occupy the safety slots.
