Battle-tested offensive line ready for 1975
By MIKE BRUTON
Sports Editor
What’s big, maroon and likes to
i make holes? If you haven’t already
i guessed, it’s the A&M offensive
line.
No segment of the Aggie football
team has drawn more criticism in
recent years than the offensive
front. But the 1975 offensive line
men should keep all Aggie football
pessimists very quiet during the
season.
With all starters returning, ex
cept Ricky Seeker at center, this
year’s blockers have an abundance
of experience to go along with excel
lent depth, size and talent. Replac
ing Seeker at center will be Henry
Tracy, with Bruce Welch and Craig
Glendenning at the guards, joined
by Glen Bujnocb and Dennis Swil-
ley at the tackles.
Come September 13, you’ll see
virtually the same A&M offensive
front that lined up and blew LSU
and Texas Tech out of the stadium in
1974. And both the Tigers and Red
Raiders had above average defen
sive football teams.
Actually, the offensive line was
consistent throughout the season, as
nearly every starting Aggie lineman
made the first two All-SWC teams.
In fact, the entire line blocked so
well against Tech, until they were
named the Offensive Players of the
Week in the Southwest Conference
by the Dallas Morning News.
They’ve sufficiently proven
themselves under fire and criticism.
They’re a year wiser, a year stronger
and ready to turn in what coidd
probably be the best all-around
blocking performance in recent
Aggie football history. Offensive
Line Coach Dan LaGrasta and assis
tant Bob Stanley has done an out
standing job in developing a young,
inexperienced group of men into an
awesome force.
And awesome they are. The front
five average 242.6 pounds per man
and are as agile as a gymnast. With
people of this nature leading inter
ference, the Aggies should field a
strong offensive football team.
Tracy, (6-2, 223) the midget of the
line, is a hustler. He churns and
churns with his legs and utilizes his
quickness to compensate for his lack
of size. Tracy s best attribute is con
sistency. And being the center, this
is of utmost importantance for he
must touch the football on every of-
Old Timers
to perform
on Saturday
ARLINGTON, Tex. — A roll call
of former St. Louis Cardinal greats,
including Stan Musial and Country
Sluiif'hter, plus a team of former
American League stars, headed by
Joe DiMaggio, Bob Feller and Mic
key Mantle, meet in the second an
nual Old Timers game at Arlington
Stadium on Saturday.
The Old Timers, who will play a
brief contest before the Texas-
Boston game, will take batting prac
tice at 6 p.m., followed by introduc
tions and gametime at 7:15 p.m.
The Rangers-Red Sox game will
begin at 8:35 p.m. instead of the
normal 8 p.m. starting time.
Pinpointing one player or one
event from this classic lineup of stars
is impossible. The record books are
bulging with the names of many of
the men who will be on hand on July
, , , , ’
The Cardinal roster includes
Harry Walker, Vinegar Bend Miz-
ell, Solly Hemus, Harry Brecheen,
Paul Dean, Whitey Kurowski, Bob
Uecker, Lon Warneke, Wally
Moon, Terry Moore and Ken
Boyer.

League stars will be Roy Sievers,
Hoot Evers, Pete Runnels, Johnny
Pesky, Bobby Doerr, Al Rosen,

fensive play, making certain that the
quarterback has the ball securely.
He’s seen a lot of action, though he
played behind All-SWC center
Seeker last season.
At one guard will be Welch, (6-4,
250) who packs a powerful wallop
when he comes off the ball. He
played a huge part in the success of
the A&M offense against LSU last
year. The senior from Houston re
peatedly knocked his man four and
five yards off the line of scrimmage,
which cut off the pursuit of half the
Tiger defense.
Welch is the kind of blocker that a
quarterback goes to in a fourth-
and-one situation. He’s a clutch
blocker. He’s also very effective on
trap and sweep plays where he uses
his agility and speed to pull and get
out in front of the ball carrier.
The other guard position will be
manned by Glendenning, (6-3,
238), who won the starting berth
from All-SWC guard Billy Lemons
during the spring. The never-quit
attitude that conquered the No. 1
spot for Glendenning is what makes
him a good blocker.
When the quarterback barks the
snap count, Glendenning is offlike a
shot and he stays with his man like
his life depends on it. He stops only
when he hears the whistle. He is not
as over-powering as Lemons, but he
gets the job done.
Swilley, (6-4, 257) also captured a
starting job at one of the tackle slots,
unseating Dennis Smelser during
the spring drills. He is extremely
quick for his size and delivers a solid
blow coming off the mark. He’s the
