The Aggies finally have what it
takes to have a balanced offensive
attack.
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. De
spite playing fullback in only two
games he ranks no. 4 on A&M’s
rushing chart and his 6.4 yard per
carry average is second only to

Comments:
Bubba Bean. He has scored three
touchdowns.
Woodard came to A&M from Van
Vleck, a small town near Bay City.
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

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 ranks as the
greatest rusher in major college his
tory.

**•••••••••*•••**•**•*•••••••••*******•••
Still, as Ohio State trainer Billy
Hill said, “His attitude hasn’t
changed since the first day he
walked through the door. 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.”

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.
