Gloom Settles Down Over Hull-Daisetta
After First Football Defeat Since 1935
By HAROLD V. RATLIFF
HULL-DAISETTA Nov 25 —
P—Gloom was as thick here
today as the fog from the Gulf
Of Mexico
If a traveler mentioned foot-—-
ball he might be scramming
out of town so fast it would
make his head swim
Because last night Hull-Dai-
setta a little town with big
ideas about football lost a game
and that's a tragedy of the first
magnitude -
Hull - Daisetta high school,
playing in the Class A or second
division of the Texas interscho-
lastic league had rolled up 43
straight victories, then wham!
Another little town—Humble-
took the Bobcats for a 13-0
cleaning just when things
looked rosy for another perfect
season
And to make matters worse
the defeat lost Hull-Daisetta

the first time in four years
They hadn it expected it: no

Farewell Act
| Most class single-A high school
football teams last night closed out
their schedules, creating quite a lot
of furore and news in their general-
ly final splash.
The Roscoe Plowboys sewed up
the championship of district 6A, but
had more difficulty downing Loraine
than was anticipated. The score was
12 to 0 The Bulldogs, in addition
to their good defensive showing,
threatened once from the 12-yard
line, and again from about the 25.
In district 8A the farewell flareup
was a wild one Ballinger finished
the race in second place by defeat-

at that—and-it s about the only
consolation the football bugs
here can get out of the whole
sorry business— it was fitting
that Humble should beat Hull-

There was an upset in the same

slot, just ahead of the Bluecats
Rising Star was winner by the same
score over Santa Anna Oakes run-

Only game remaining on the 8A
schedule is between Cross Plains

Victories by Munday and Anson
shared attention in 10A. Jack Pip-
pen led-a rally that produced three
touchdowns in the last 13 minutes
and a 20-0 Mogul win from the Al-
bany Lions Munday thereby sewed
up second place, and kept a chance
to tie Stamford for the champion-
ship
The Tigers, winner of only one
conference game previously, sur-
prised by clawing the Hamlin Pied
Pipers, 33 to 6 Anson led in first
downs. 31 to 9 Giles scored three
touchdowns.
Merkel finished strong, beating
Putnam 31 to 6. Elby Frazier head-

championship in a thrilling
playoff with the May Tigers at

left to play the Tigers scored on a
long pass from Fisher to tie up the
game 13-13 And May was leading

| portant, he must catalogue in his
mind every move of the defensive
team. It is the defense of the
enemy that is of first importance.
This once was a simple task, as
Sutherland pointed out, because
there was a time when a team had
but one defense Now a team will
use six: seven, or even a dozen de-
fensive formations in one game,
and it is the duty of the opposing
coach to analyze each and every
one of them;
"When one of our teams plays
doesn t work, you must know the
answer.’ Sutherland said. "If you
don't, how are you going to in-
struct your quarter-backs when you
bring them in for instructions?"
When the opponent has the ball
the chief task is the study of the
offense. This: too, was a simple
task at one time, because offenses
were very simple Sutherland ex-
plained that when he was playing
for Pop Warner, one of the great
offensive coaches of all time, the
offense consisted of three line
bucks, a reverse, an off tackle play,
and two or three forward passes.
Now the average high school squad
has a repertoire of ten times that
scope. And while studying the of-
fense a coach must keep a careful
eye on his own defense.
The coach is in charge of all sub-
tally during a game, until I talked
to Dr Jock Sutherland, the for- stitutions.

Here for the game today Suther-
land sat st a table at the Notre
Dame smoker last night and, with-
out undue consideration for the
tablecloth, outlined a few of the one
thousand and one things that a
coach must do while his team is
engaged in battle:
"I can think of no more ex-
hausting work than that of
coach for two or three hours
on Saturday," he said. “It real-
ly will wear a man out. I’ve
played and I've coached and the
beating you take on the bench-
is twice as bar' as the one you
take out there on the Held,
blocking and running and tack-
ling."
A coach must ready-his team for
He must make them at
missed assignment or a fumble that
will cost the game.
The coach must watch the weath-
er like a sailor. Changes of wind,
changes in the condition of the turf,
changes of temperature must be
met with changed tactics.
The coach must hold consulta-
tions with his assistants during a
game, condense their reports and
utilize or discard their suggestions.
A coach—but by the time Dr.
Sutherland had reached this
point I was so worn out just
from hearing about so much
work that I asked if there were
a doctor in the house.
He said: "Yes, there was.

The hardy pioneers of football in
this section were the Simmons Cow-
boys who roamed the West Texas
ranges way back in ‘97!
Generally accepted as the first
gridders to operate west of the
Trinity river, the Ranchers played
their first game November 9, 1897,
at the West Texas fair
The old Abilene Reporter of that
day evidently didn’t consider foot-
ball very important, perhaps bare-
ly worthy of a short in the town
news column.
The newspaper account of Abi-
lene’s first grid classic.
"In the football contest at the
Fair today Simmons college won
over the Abilene team by a score
of 12 to 0 A large and interested
crowd witnessed the game One of
the best Judges in the city says
that the College team plays really
fine ball, arid are hard to down”
That pioneer team was organized
by Herr Krauss, a German teacher
from Chicago university He coach-
ed both the collegians and their
opponents, the town . boys.
FIRST GAME
The first game played at the
fair caused lots of Interest, declared
Judge E. U. Miller of Brownwood
last winter. Two or three boys had
to be taken from the field and doc-
tors called.
All plays at that time were line
bucks and end runs. The forward
pass had not yet been introduced
Members of that first team along
with Judge Miller were Bob wil-
lingham, now of Midland Temple
Lewis, of Sweetwater, and brother.
John, Victory H Anderson, Harris
V Walthall, El Paso, Harry and
Will Logan both of Abilene, and
E D. Lotspeich, deceased
Almost continuously since that
