Coaches Nominate
Ail-Americans
IJy LARRY PHILLIPS
Almost every coach of America's full fantasy, foot-
ball, has some outstanding player on his team. These range
from the fourth-grade beginner to the 35-year-old profes-
sional. The fourth grader may grow up to be an All-Ameri-
can, and the pro veteran may have already been a national
hero.
Hut in the Missouri Valley Conference, which fields
tour teams and is one of the smallest NCAA conferences,
three coaches consider their players capable of becoming
All-American, and a fourth coach has indicated that two
players are Ail-American material. Oddly enough, three of
these "best players I've ever seen" are guards.
Mareelino (Chelo) Huerta, who succeeded Hank Fold-
berg as coach at the University of Wichita, nominated two
of his players to achieve the fourth grader's dream. Roth
quarterback Alex Zyskowski and guard Charlie Wright
have played for the last two years and will attempt to help
Wichita win a third straight conference title.
"That every professional football team in both the
National and American Football Leagues is interested in
Zyskowski is indication enough that he is Ail-American
material," Huerta has stated. The coach partly bases his
opinion that Zyskowski is a serious All-American threat
on his 18.2 yards per completion and his 7.2 yards per play
last year. He also said that his physical ability and build
(6-2, 185) help make him a future pro star.
Wright has been tagged by Huerta to try for All-
American honors on the basis of the coach's analysis of
game films for the past two years. Huerta said Wright
"has whipped every man he had faced." The 6 foot, 210
pounder is described by coaches as a "complete player who
could play in any company," a defensive backbone of the
team and in Huerta's words "a true All-American."
Another guard nominee from Tulsa gained first team
conference honors and honorable mention on the Associ-
ated Press All-America team a year ago. Kenny Reed, a
junior college All-American at Cerritos Junior College in
California, supports 230 pounds on his 6-foot frame and is
called Tulsa's best football player.
The guards' battle for recognition extends into Ohio,
where Cincinnati Coach Chuck Studley has 215-pound Ru-
fus Simmons to attract All-American notice. Likewise,
Studley rates him as "the finest linebacker I've ever
coached." The Bearcat co-captain, who can run the 100 in
10.2, made the All-MVC team last fall and as a middle
linebacker will be a key man in the Cincy defense again
this year.
And on this campus. Coach Odus Mitchell and other
authorities are thinking that if Bobby Smith can avoid in-
juries, he can improve on his statistics of 541 yards rush-
ing and 42 points and also stand a chance as an All-Amer-
ican candidate in his junior year. The only sophomore on
the MVC team last year, Smith was named the outstand-
ing opponent by Cincinnati's Bearcats, too.
Picking All-Americans won't be up to each player's
coach now but will hinge on individual performance.

A coach's 17th year at the
same school doesn't always
bring about a new era, but Odus
Mitchell hopes that as his
Eagles meet Texas Western in
Foills Field at 7:30 p.m. Satur-
day a two-year injury and sick-
ness problem will end,
Mitchell will also be starting
on his second 100 football wins
as the Eaglts face the same col-
lege they defeated io give the
coach his 100th victory in the
final game last fall.
Since the 11th game last sea-
son, the Miners have called in
a new coach, O. A. (Bum) Phil-
lips, who was once a Texas
A&M assistant under Bear Bry-
ant. But Phillips may have prob-
lems in his first year. Only 23
players 'returned from last sea-
son.
FINAL CONTACT work for
the Eagles ended Tuesday night
with an hour's scrimmage.
Night workouts continued Wed-
nesday and Thursday in prepa-
ration for Saturday night.
"The team has progressed
well, considering all of the rain
we had that slowed workout ses-
sions," Mitchell said. "We're not
in mid-season form, but I'm
pleased with the condition of
the squad."
Mitchell said he would start
as many seniors as possible, al-
though several "good battles"
were still going on for positions.
BOBBY PIUCE, a 250 pounder,
and Richard Farris, 240, head
the senior forward wall, which
averages 232 pounds per mail.
Price handles kickolTs and con-
versions for the Kagles. Farris
is a draft choice in both pro
leagues.
At the end slots will be Mike
I'irkle, 223, and Winston Free-
man, 234. Freeman led the squad
in pass receptions last year, and

Before Conference Games
MVC Teams Play Outsiders
Missouri Valley Conference teams
will officially begin their inter-
sectional warfare Saturday as a
prelude to their battles for the
Valley crown.
Wichita hosts Arizona State,
Tulsa rests ami will be waiting
for Arkansas, Cincinnati piays
Dayton and the Kagles test Texas
Western.
Wichita, Tulsa ami North Texas
are loaded with manpower. Wichi-
ta, the conference favorite, has 27
returning lettermen compared to
North Texas' 25 and Tulsa's 21.
The Wheatshoekers have assem-
bled what could be the conference's
finest backfield, led by halfback
Bill Stangarone and quarterback
Alex Zyskowski. Last week 8 tang-
•rone was Wichita's rushing loader
with 71 yartis in nine carries. Zy-
skowski completed five of eight
passes for 50 yards.
Tulsa's depth at quarterluick
and ends proved Coach trlenn
Dobbs' preseason statement that
Tulsa would have a wide open pro-
type offense.
Cincinnati says this will be a
rebuilding year, but it should fur-
nish stiff opposition, particularly
on defense as All-Conference
guards Kufus Simmons and Duiti'II
Cauley do the linebacking.
SMEDLEY DOESN'T WEAR A CLASS HING
THERE ARE REASONS, HOWEVER, TO SUSPECT THAT SMEDLEY MAY NOT
BE COMPLETELY IN STEP WITH THE TIMES
On campus today, mature, discriminating, style-oriented men
and women proudly wear the emblems that identify their aca-
demic heritage. Your atass ring is SMART. Its message is pres-
tige. As a lifetime investment in BELONGING, its value grows
with every passing year.

SUMO TIN
I'irkle gained All-Conference
honorable mention.
Farris will open at left guard,
and teammate Garry Hawkins,
217. will man the other guard
position. Hawkins won honorable
mention recognition for the sec-
ond time in last year's MVC
polls.
Starting tackles will be Her-
bert Sehuke, 232, and Price.
After three years at renter,
Sohulze has moved hack to his
high school position of tackle.
MACK COPE, 220, inherited
the pivot spot when Schulze was
moved t center and will he
tiring the snap-backs Saturday
night.
Mitchell will give the nod for
the man-under position to sen-
ior letterman Merle Boyd, who
moved up to the starting posi-
tion during the spring.
Bobby Smith, the only Eagle
named to the 1961 All-Confer-
ence first team, will start the
season free of injury at left
halfback. The other halfback
spot will be tilled by James I.lt-
tlepage, who only lost 1 yard
the entire season.
Bill MeWatters, a 210-pound
fullback who did not see any
action last season because of
hepatitis, will round out the
backfield.
THK MINERS, who allow
freshmen to play, have 31 first-
year men on the 57-memher
squad Of the 23 players on the
field at the end of spring train-
ing, only three were seniors.
Junior Pat O'Donnell runs the
team in pin-type split wing of
fense that Phillips installed to
make up for a lack of experi-
ence in the backfield. O'Donnell,

for receivers like Jimmy Evans,

end, and tight end Ralph Ken-
nedy.
Fullback Don Boyce led the
team in rushing with (111 yards
on 185 tries and six touchdowns
last year. The senior has re-
covered from injuries in spring
training and is expected to do
most of the running, along with
sophomore halfbacks Larry
Durham, 170, and Louis James,
101.
THE TWC LINK is flyweight
when compared with NTSU's
starting outfit. Senior Luis Her-
nandez, a 268-pound tackle, is
the heaviest uppcrclassmun.
Freshman tackles John Cat to-
neo, 243, Denny Brewer, 230,
and Jack Caldarella, 220, indi-
cate Phillips is planning to en-
large his line for the future.
"They're a real enthusiastic
bunch at Texas Western," Mitch-
ell explained. "I saw them in
about the middle of their spring
workouts, and considering that
the coach had only I wen there
a short while, they looked good.
"We're most worried about
their defense and we're expect-
ing a lot at pursuit, stunting and
crashing linebackers."
The probable starting line for
TWC has Evans and L'lyases*
Kendall, 196, at ends, Hernandez
and Jim Nash, 205, in the tack-
les slots, Pat Brink ley, 102, and
Leroy Johnston, 178, at guards
