Guard
No. 78
Valparaiso
"Garry started every preseason and regular season games at right guard in 1975. He ran his consecutive regular season starting streak to 28 games over two seasons, 27 as a guard and one as a center. Coaches feel he was the most improved lineman in 1975. Garry played consistently well, grading out strong after all games. A very strong player with the ability and intelligence to adjust to any situation, he may be tried at center in 1976 to strengthen the overall line.
Drafted 12th in 1973, he was one of the biggest training camp surprises in his rookie year, displacing veteran Dave Herman at the opening of the season and starting four games. Garry suffered a broken bone in his foot at New England and was forced onto the inactive list for seven of the last nine games. He works well in partnership with perennial All-Pro Winston Hill on the right side.
Garry was twice a college division All-America choice at tackle. He doubled as kicker in college and also played center. Garry holds a B.S. in physical education.
He pronounces his name 'Pets.' His hometown is Chicago."
