HOUSTON (A P) — While Lar-
ry Dierker was still rubbing his
head after banging it on the
dugout roof as teammate Denis
Menke knocked a two-run hom-
er, the statistician was busying
figuring the big pitcher's latest
milestones.
In his 2-0 conquest of the San
Francisco Giants Friday, the
righthander won his 18th game.
It was his fourth shutout/ this
season, the first since a 4-0 tri-
umph over San Diego July 4. Ft
was his fifth victory in his last
six decisions.

TEXAN BACKFIELD—The first-string backfield

of drills has consisted of Pete Stewart (35),

Brock (45). The Purples’ offense has con-

department, and managed only
seven first downs to the Stinger’s
ten.
Stephenville’s passing attack
was also impressive as Ronald
Derrick and halfback Eddie
Brown combined for seven com-
pletions and a total of 95 yards
through the air. Brown nabbed
off two passes from the Stinger
QB, but the rest of the flying
pigskins were grabbed off b y
Stephenville’s all-everythlngend
Danny Brown.
Defensively, t h e Stinger in-
terior line was bolstered by the
superb performance of Randy
Pack, going despite an injured
leg. Lending heft to the line
were David Watkins and Gary
Stasey from the linebacker slot.
In the defensive secondary, there
were no interceptions recorded,
but defensive work by Mike Wood,
Danny Brown, Eddie Brown, and
Ronald Derrick was held in tiigh
praise by the Stinger coa ■hing
staff.
Stephenville’e junior varsity
fought t o a deadlocked stand-off
as neither unit managed to score,
and the Wasp freshman team gave
up a last effort score by the Dogie
second unit to fall 1-0.
Action gets underway hot and
heavy next weet as all Stephen-
ville teams open gridiron action
with the Stingers in Friday
night’s spotlight against Gran-
bury in Tarleton Stadium.

James Medley. A 215-puuiKi senior from Odessa,

In Friday Scrimmage
GRAHAM - With the Steers
scoring in the first offensive
drive, Stephenville threw up a
taut defense and managed to
etch out one TD themselves as
both teams fought to a draw in
a controlled scrimmage Friday
night.
Graliam’s score came on a
long bomb from quarterback
David Aker on the next to last
offensive play of the drive by
the Steers. Stephenville’s of-
fensive drives were stopped
short of the score despite the
hard running of Stephenville
backs. Eddie Brown finished
the night as the Stingers’ lead-
ing ground gainer with a total
of 52 yards in four carries.
Following close behind on the
offensive drive were Ronald Der-
rick and Mike Wood with 26 and
27 yards respectively.
Throwing up a taut goaline de-
fense, the Stingers gave up noth-
ing on five plays from inside the
five yard line. On their offensive
from the goal, Mike Wood scamp-
ered over from five yards out to
even the score. Stephenville
finished the night with a total of
209 yards offensively.
Graham’s mighty offensive
weapon was the pass as QB David
Aker completed several lopgand
short gainers alike with
the clincher going to halfback
Dale Ball who scampered fifty
yards for the tally. The Steers
; were held short on the rushing
day. Ken Harrelson spent several
years under the managership of
Robertson at Sanford, California,
and both Reggie Smith and Jim
Nash were close associates
during his career in baseball.

Grange on Football
NEW YORK—(NEA1—In the 100 years of college football
there has never been another like Harold (Red) Grange, a
back (or the University of Illinois from 1923 to 1925
On one of the most remarkable days in any athlete s
life. Red Grange^ against the University of Michigan in
1924. returned the opening kickoff 95 yards for a touch
down, scored another on a 67-yard run. a third on a 56-yard
run and a fourth from 44 yards out Soon after that, the
first quarter ended
Grange, now 65, lives in Indian Lake Fla He said he
does some promotional work for a brewery, but considers
himself partially retired ”
By telephone, with a dog barking some in the back-
ground, Grange compared his era of college football with
the present
“It’s an entirely different game now." he said No com-
parison with 30 , 40 years ago
"First of all. there is free substitution now Years ago.
we played 60 minutes all of the time
"Most of the rule changes have made it a better game,

bounds it is brought to the hash mark Before, the ball was
put in plav just one yard in from the sideline 5 ou just
couldn't run as well fpom there
"Defense is the biggest change Years ago a team
had two set defenses, a diamond or a box Now, there are
as many defenses as offenses
"You know, they’ve changed"the size and shajte of the
ball three times since I played It’s narrower and longer
now You can't drop-kick it because of the points on the
ends—it just goes ofHhe side of your foot They made it so
anybody can throw a football
• But the big thing in football today is recruiting College
football is no longer an amateur sport Shucks, there are
a hundred coaches in the country who can win a champion-
ship if they have the material. But if you don’t give out
the scholarships, you can’t play a team that does. You
can’t win. anyway
