Hard work is an asset on the football field but Van discovered it can have its drawbacks elsewhere. After weighing about 233 last spring, he spend the summer pouring concrete on a construction job. A combination of hard work and some stomach pro- blems caused him to lose a lot of weight and he was around 205 when fall drills started. He was up to 212 for the LSU game and hopes to be back to around 225 by the time SWC play starts against Texas Tech Oct. 10. But first there are a couple of mighty bit oppo- nents waiting for Odom and the Aggies. When Odom lines up against Ohio State this Sat. and Michigan the next, he'll get plenty of experience against a lot of muscle. "I'm really looking for- ward to playing Ohio State," Van says. "They have one of the best teams ever. We'll learn how good we are and it will really help the team get exper- ience for the SWC games." Odom is a Corsicana na- tive who was an offensive fullback and defensive tac- kle in high school. He played on A&M's first un- beaten freshman team in 1968 and made the All-SWC freshman team. He was an All-SWC sophomore last year. In 1970 he could keep his string going by making all- SWC. People are realiz- ing that Van Odom is that good. He was in the middle of a lot of action the first two weeks against Wichita State and LSU. And, he'll be battling to bring down ball carriers this week at Columbus, Ohio. AGS PREPARE FOR OSU The Texas Aggies, on cloud 9 over the week- end after upsetting LSU 20-18, abruptly returned to reality Monday as they started preparation for Saturday's invasion of Col- umbus, Ohio, to play the Ohio State Buckeyes. The Aggies , in sweat suits, did a lot of running Monday afternoon to work out the soreness from the bruising battle with LSU. Fortunately, the Aggies came through the LSU en- counter without suffering any major injuries. Still missing from drills from earlier injuries were potential starters Lenard Millsap, offensive guard; Dennis Carruth, linebacker and Clifford Thomas, of- fensive halfback. ",...

SATURDAY Odom Leads Aggie Defense Folks are finding out football seDson. defensive guard was one abuut Texas A&M's Van The AggIe coaching staff of the most underrated Odum rather quickly this last year felt that the young players in the SWC, even though he was the only sophomore in the defen- sive line. Game after game, Odom would be one of the lead- ers in tackles, but most of the notice fell on Van's older brother, Lynn, who earned all-SWC as a se- nior. Side by side in the defensive front, the Odom brothers made A&M's de- fense tough up the middle. Things have changed in 1970. Now Van is the only veteran in the front four and in A&M's first two games he has responded to the challenge. "He's a find player," Coach Gene Stallings says. "He works hard and is real tough.

I McElroy wasn't even re- was tired but on one was cruited for football at gonna catch me on that Aggieland. He came from play," McElroy beamed. He is Majoring in en- gineering technology and wants to be a technical writer after he earns his degree. On campus one would not pick him out as a foot- ball player. He is quiet and reserved, wears glass- es and doesn't attract at- tention. But, on the foot- ball field he is one man to watch. He has large hands, quick feet and he's tough. He had to be tough to stick it out in football drills while try- ing to earn a scholarship. In the 41-14 win over Wichita State he caught 3 passes for 67 yards and once ran the end-around for 25 yards. Against LSU he caught 6 passes for 180 yards, including that 79- yarder that sent Aggie fans into orbit. McElroy is no prima donna. "I've got a lot of work to do to improve. I've, got to learn to concentrate' on catching the foot- ball more." As a junior he has the time in front of him to make the im- provements, too. He's the kind of exciting p~ayer that the Texas Ag- gleS have been needing, a real game breaker. No doubt, the most prized possession of his life right now is the game ball from last Saturday's LS U con- test.
