Academic Dean Explains Absences,
Consequences For Having Them
Because many students hare
mistaken Ideas about the
number and types of absences
that are allowed, the follow-
ing information is available:
Academic Bean McDonald
Held stated that the first
three absences of a student
from class will be considered
excused. Any subsequent ab-
sences will be dealt with at
the discretion of the professor
involved.
However, if a student does
not attend class for thirteen
sessions, then the student
will automaticaUy fall the
course and be given no credit
for it however acceptable his
grades might be.
15-8 Victory
m
BY JACK PETTY
When the Howard Payne Yel-
low Jackets hit the field Sat-
urday it was clear during the
first few minutes of play that
they would be playing the kind
of ball of which they m, cap-
able — and they did ' — as
they defeated the Texas A&I
Javelinas, 15-8, in a rough and
tumble gridiron battle.
Coach Bennie Williams stated
that the Yellow Jackets "gave a
performance that is the nearest
thing to an all-out effort."
It has happened in the past
that the Jackets have "whipped"
the nation's top teams, and then
lost remaining games, as in
1958 when the Paynemen de-
feated top-ranked Lamar Tech,
24-19, and then dropped the next
five games in a row.
However, the HPC victory be-
fore a homecoming crowd was
too complete* and showed the
Yellow Jackets Just how they
can really play football.
Howard Payne held the power
statistically in every catagory
and allowed the powerful Hog-
gies to penetrate their 30-yard
line only one time, as they
marched 73 yards for their lone
score.
The top defensive roles can-
not be readily picked. Statistic-
ally Hal Rowe was the top de-
fensive man along with Pete
Hobby and Israel Cortez. How-
ever, there were other players
such as Doug Shouse, Dan
Gandy, Mickey Warlick, Grady
Spikes, Bill Lee, Bobby Bobbins,
Wendell Byrom, Tex Paris, Dale
Fisher, Stuart Beebe and many
other Jackets who were "on the
ball." Some did not have as
many tackles as others duo to
their playing safety defense;
but the stops that they did make
proved to be invaluable to the
final outcome of the game.
The Yellow Jackets' first
touchdown came late in the first
period as the Jackets marched
49 yards to pay dirt in seven
plays, all of which were on the
ground. Halfback Earl McKin-
ley and fullback Dan Gandy did
the rushing jobs. On a first
down from the three-yard
stripe, Bobby Goforth plowed
into the end-zone for the score
and then kicked the extra point
to put Howard Payne in front,
7-0.
With some fine passing plays,
A&I took the lead 8-7 under
command of quarterback Jarrell
Hayes, in the first few minutes
of the third period.
Shortly thereafter, the Jack-
ets drove from their own 36 to
the A&I 27. Ray Jacobs kicked
a booming field goal attempt
that missed only by inches as it
fell short, though it was
straight. It was a 42-yard ef-
fort.
