That’s a fullback who can plow his way through the middle of the line with consistency. His name is George Woodard and even though he has only played in three games this year his future is bright in A&M football. At 6-1, 245 Woodard could be come the Earl Campbell of the Ag gies. He runs like a bull. That’s the only way to describe him. Woodard played on the speciality team against Ole Miss, scored two touchdowns the next week against LSU and did not see action again until his start against Baylor.

He played tight end, tailback, and linebacker in high school and was named all-district, all-state and all-America. He also ran sprints and threw the shot in track. He ran a 9.9 second 100 to win that event in his high school’s district track meet de spite weighing 237 lbs. Why did he come to A&M? A&M is a good place. I d advise anyone to come here. It’s a good place to get an education. It’s good for someone young because you’re learning every day. “The 12th man is great too. People are always talking and yel ling at you and it gives you confi dence.” Woodard never played fullback in high school, but with his size he was a natural for that position in the Ag gies offense. He also never had run out of the Wishbone until he came to A&M. Van Vleck ran from the Power-I and there were some ad justments to make when he came to College Station. “The biggest adjustment was in my stance. I was standing up at tailback in high school and have to get down on all fours at fullback. The plays were different too. The hardest thing was learning them all cause there are so many of ’em. Van Vleck is a Class A school, and you can be sure that Woodard never played before a crowd as large as the one in Kyle Field last Saturday. Any crowd in Kyle Field is noisy, and for a freshman starting for the first time the noise could be a little unsettling. Not so with Woodard. “In a way it helped. It gave me confidence. When everybody is rooting for the team it helps.” Even without the crowd noise a freshman s first start could be any thing but calm for him. “Everything was running through my mind. The biggest thing was betting out there and doing my best,” Woodard said. After missing four games because of an injury Woodard came back in style against Baylor carrying 24 times for 101 yards and one touchdown. Add that to his LSU total and he has carried 34 times for 217 yards. Not bad for only two games. “It took a lot of guts on my part to start George Woodard against Baylor,” Coach Emory Bellard said after the game. “He’s a freshman. It SENTRY INSURANCE Auto - Home - Business - Life - Investments Phone 846-7123 P.0. Box 3184 Bryan was his first college start. It was a rainy day, conducive to fumbles and it was a very important day. But, his play delighted me.” Woodard did fumble a couple of times but that was to be expected of anyone under the conditions. Woodard is not superstitious and does not do anything really special in preparing for a game. There is one thing though that he says helps him a lot. “I pray before a game. I pray in the morning when I wake up and in the locker room by myself and then again with the team. It helps a whole lot.” Woodard is a Parks and Recrea tion major but wants to work with young people one day. “I’d like to build a YMCA and put everything in it and work with young people and teach em diffe rent things.” If his teachings include how to run with a football, I’m sure he’ll have no trouble finding pupils.

Griffin would trade own glory for NCAA crown Associated Press COLUMBUS, Ohio — Archie Griffin, college football s most heralded player, would swap all his personal achievements for one team goal: a national championship. “I would, the Ohio State senior tailback said Tuesday. “That na tional championship is the most im portant. That s some trade. Griffin was the college game’s Player of the Year as its 1974 Heisman Trophy winner. Twice he has been the Big Ten Con ference’s Most Valuable Player and an All-American.

He s so down to earth, humble, unbelieva ble. His coach. Woody Hayes, mar vels over the way Griffin has hand led the swarms of writers and fans this year. Hayes himself has lost his cool in similar situations. “Arch acts like a little, old man, the way he shows maturity much past his years, said Hayes of the greatest player he’s coached in 30 seasons. “Lve only seen Arch upset once in his four years here. That was up at Michigan when a defensive back twisted his leg after a tackle. “I’ve never heard him swear. I never hear him raise his voice to a teammate in practice.” Griffin says Hayes missed another time when he was upset. “When I was a freshman against Michigan State,” he said, “about every time I touched the hall 1 dropped it. Earlier in his freshman season, then assistant coach Rudy Hubbard talked Hyaes into playing Griffin against North Carolina. He re sponded with a school record 239 yards. ' Since -tIreil; he’s started 39 straight games, producing a record 28 straight regular season perfor mances of over 100 yards rushing. His 4,730 career yards, reached last week, wiped out Ed Marinaro s re cord as major football s all-time leader. All this from a 5-foot-9, 182- pounder? “It’s not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog, ” said Griff in, one of seven football-playing sons of a Col umbus sanitation worker. His backfield coach, former Mar shall runner Mickey Jackson, said, “He’s a giant, but he never makes you feel like he is. Once he steps on that field, that little extra from within comes out.” f 6:10-7:65-9:40 Landry unsure what to expect this week 5:40-7:35-9:30 6:56-9:16 A Columbia Pictures and Robert , Stigwood Organisation Presentation jpgl COLUMBIA PICTURES presents BITE THE BULLET PANAVISION'A P-B /VISTA FEATURE |PGl r Call Thaatre for Showtimas campus \::z: $1.50 firat hour BETWEEN THE COVERS” (R) PLUS “LONELY WIVES” Associated Press DALLAS — Dallas Cowboy Coach Tom Landry admitted Tues day he isn’t certain what to expect from his team game-to-game. “There’s one thing about this team — you see a little something different every week,” said Landry. Landry called 49 pass plays in a 20-17 victory over Philadelphia Sunday. There was also an unau thorized pass on fourth down from the Cowboy 24-yard line by punter Mitch Hoopes. “Mitch won’t be doing that any- mpre,” Landry laughed, saying he didn’t plan any fine. The way Landry talked he felt Hoopes was probably just a victim of Landry’s pass-conscious attitude against the Eagles. “I didn’t realize I had called so many pass plays. I just didn t realize we had thrown that much, said Landry. Asked why, Landry answered: “I just go by feel. I thought we could throw against them. Dallas has been a team most dif ficult to chart. The Cowboys blasted Los Angeles with a solid opening performance but staggered about while winning. They beat St. Louis in overtime then blew a game with a fumbled punt they had won against Green Bay. Dallas is 5-1 and leading the Na tional Conference Eastern Division by one game. Washington, which hosts the Cowboys Sunday in the capital city, and St. Louis are 4-2. M Order Now for Christmas and Graduation A&M RING CREST JEWELRY Beautiful replica of your A&M ring.
