he did was for youngsters un-
der him.”

of the university where Stagg
coached for 41 seasons, tolled
him as a “paramount figure”

High Praise
‘Tor more than 40 years,!
most of them marked by great;
athletic teams a» Chicago,
.Stagg was a paramount figure
no the quadrangle." Beadle
said “He stood for, he taught
and he practiced the exemplary
personal and professional ethics
that were the hallmarks of his
career.”
Stagg, who was Yale's oldest
alumnus, died Wednesday at the

where he had been confined
since 1962 Death was ascribed

Funeral services will be held
here Sunday at the Central
Methodist Church across the
street from the University of
die Pacific where he coached
for 14 happy seasons after
reaching the mandatory retire-
ment age of 70 at Chicago.
Through his 54 years of build-
ing teams and character, Stagg
coaclied teams to 309 victories,
'200 losses and 35 ties.
Developed Great Stars
Jt was during his 41-year dy-!
nasty at Chicago that Stagg de-;
veloped such great stars as -
Walter Eckersall, Jay Berwan-
er, Wallie Staffan, Pat Page
and H O. Frit** Crisier
"He stood for all that is fine
and goes! In college athletics,”
said Crisier, who now is athlet-
ic director at Michigan. "To
me, who played under him and
assisted him — and who val-
ued his guidance so much — his
passing leaves me with a deep
sense of loss.”
Stagg is the only man to he!

Among his accomplishments
was the development of the for-
ward pass and a successful
j campaign to have it legalized

! to use the so-called "flanker"
j which has become an indispens-
! able part of the offense In pro
football He also Initiated the

Cuero Turkey Trotter base-
ball team manager Manuel
Hopkina announced Wednesday
tint the local amateur team
will play independent ball again
this summer.
Hopkins, who has managed
the team the past several seas-
ons, said the initial workout t4
the team Is set lor Sunday.
March 21, at 1 p.m. at Muni-
cipal Park Stadium. All aspir-
ant* for a place on the team
are invited to report, and Hop-
ktn* added that "1 hope more
prospect* report than can be
used."
The Trotters, playing outlaw
hasebal)' and hooking games
when and where they could the
past few years, finished the
3964 season with a 164 record.
Their record in 1964 was 17-6-1.
Members of the Trotter club
the past few setsons tried out
for the team because they play-
ed the game for the sheer
pleasure of it and not for any
monetary gain. In fact, it costs
the team members a certain
amount at money each jear,
hut their compensation is in
thoroughly enjoying the sport
for what it is. The task of serv-
ing as both business manager
and-or field manager is quite a
chore in such an operation
Except for very fra- years
C'uero has fielded a Trotters
team, and Hopkins said Wed-
nesday ttat the city will have
another in 1965
Hopkins afso added that he
hopes to !x*>k the first Trotters
game no later than Easter Sun-
day, April 18.

nament Wednesday by beating

Cuero’a Gobbler baseball
team is du* to exhibit hi Sehu -
enburg Thursday night.
The Gobbler* have already
played the same club this sea-
son and came out with a 54 win,
but the outcome was in ques-
tion until the final cut wat
carded.
The potentially-*tout Bishop
Forest crew, who used a sopho-
more hurler all the way, are
predicted to be one of the
Stoutest high school dubs in
the area thi* season This same
club showed plenty of power in
the Gobbler tournament here
last spring, winning a 4-2 game
from Port Lavaca, hut drop-
ping their seoond to Luling, 5-0.
Luling, incidentally, want on to
the finals, in which they were
defeated 3-1 by Kenedy’* Lions
for the tournament pennant.
Gobbler Coach Geppge Sal-
cher said Wednesday that hia
club has great possibilities this
year, if his pitching staff ts
able to deliver. "We have a po-
tentially good crew in the
throwing department in John
Post, Pete Noack, Mike Goh-
mert, Dale Murray and Lalo
Triana, but only the flrst-nam
ed pair have much experience
They should win the bulk of the
games we tuck away this
year."
In an exhibition game here
last week, the hustling Gobblers
not only played good defensive
baseball, a feature of play with
which Coach Salcher was parti-
cularly impressed, but they
gathered 9 base knocks, five of
which were for extra bases.
Two drawbacks of the Gob-
bler baseball teams in recent
years have been loose defensive
play and inability to hit. The
reverse seems to now he estab-
lished on the current team.

cuas in their game against the
