Mean's Wijh the memory of their 13-7 vic-
ls !r ry over Texas still lingering on the
,| i , hool campus, the Texas A&M foot-
Auto U rflH to °^ to t ^ c Tuesday to
s P rin 8 training.
o , 0 ' Head coach Tom Wilson, who
; J . e "PF iishcd his first full year as coach last
I i l !" iuin ^'ar with a 6-5 record, will watch 39
iMiiv ' 1 aSen) ' turnin ^ l e ttermen fight it out for
, 1 ' trting positions on the 1980 squad.
!ik ( "nn[ lleet; A m<)n g the lettermen returning,
11 ie: offensive and eight defensive
1011 ls n:i; flyers were starters last season. The
U< svin i: ;s did lose some commendable ta-
1 , 'l ,s on though. Among the 22 letter-
!! \P ants 15 ■ten lost to graduation were 10 star-
1( > thatifthJl
J a P a nestt' : “Among our top priorities; we
leir ta ^ m|stfind a tackle and end on defense
s ting trade replace James Zachery and Jacob
. 0 t ' ie m atte^een,'’ Wilson said. “Also, we must
'es, il warrantetl the void at tight end on offense.
e have some other gaps to fill in the
ensiie line but we re confindent
that some of the young, quality peo
ple on our squad will step forth and
make impressive showings.”
Wilson can also look forward to
some freshmen filling some of those
gaps. The Aggies appeared to have
won the Southwest Conference re
cruiting war this year, signing 11 of
the top 30 high school players in
Texas.
“We’re not blessed with great
depth for spring training and our in
coming freshmen next fall must
supply that needed depth,” Wilson
said.
There is adequate depth at a few
positions though. Some of the more
competitive battles for starting
assignments will be in the offensive
backfield. Mike Mosley, a three-year
letterman who has started at quarter
back for the past two years, will be
challenged by David Beal, also a
three-year letterman, and sopho
mores Gary Kubiak and Mark
McQueen. Sophomores Johnny
Hector and Ernest Jackson will try to
fill the void left by Curtis Dickey at
tailback. Returning starter David
Hill will be pressed for the starting
fullback position by Ronnie James,
Roger Wiley and Elvis Walker.
Spring training will last four weeks
with the team working out five times
a week at Kyle Field. On April 19,
the Ags will conclude spring drills
with the Maroon and White Game.
The Ags will play five home games
in 1980 at Kyle Field. In addition to
Penn State, there will be four home
SWC games against Texas Tech,
Baylor, Rice and TCU.
