Eight district championships

29 more are due to be deter-

school football campaign rolls

THE CHIC THING TO do in the miniate circle of sports McKinney 0-0 through a quar-
scribes these days is to mix a few metaphors and ideas, paint a aad
slight sneer on the lips—not too broadly, mind you, but just a
hint of the downtunied puss—and lasli out at some nebulous
term called “conservative football.”
Why this is I’m not quite sure. Certainly no writers are
under the gun from alumni and fans for more football victories.
(Come to think of it though it might not be a bad idea. This
1962 Sulphur Springs season already is worth five times the
1961 go-around).
But there’s one thing I’m certain of—they’re trying to mix
too many ingredients into one pot and as a consequence the
dish is spoiling before it’s put on the tnblc. Somewhere along
the line this idea of “field position” has been included in the
recipe for dull football. Well, it 'taint necessarily so.

but McKinney was able to
break away for a four-touch-
down victory.
Last week Bonham’s Roland
Rainey went 75 yards on the
first play and then Greenville
settled down to give yardage
at a much restricted pace, three
times halting Bonham attacks
deep.
Against Paris the Lions were
three yards away from a win-
jning touchdown when time ran
out.
Greenville in fact has the
best defensive record against

The Associated Pres*
Southwest Conference foot-
ball this season is about the
dullest it has been in a decade.
Three yards and a cloud of
dust appears to he the usual
offense. Defense and kicking
| furnish most of the action.
It certainly is a far cry from
the pro type of football that’s
supposed to take over any day
now. For some eight years this
has been the prediction, yet
college football continues to
draw big attendance. It is gain-
ing every season.
There is no question but that
pro football has greater spec-
tator appeal. Passing half t
* time, using the swing pass, the
slot back, the flanker and a
version of the Meyer Spread,
pro football produces touch-
downs to keep an adding ma-
chine busy.
The trouble is that the spec-
tators in college football are a
different type from those of
pro f o o t b a 11. The collegiate
kind isn’t interested in how you
play the game — it’s whether
you win or lose. If it’s head-
knocking and all the action be-
started the Southwest Confer-
ence as the passingest league
in the country, Morrison said
he considered the pass as much
a part of his offense as his
running. He said he noted that
when a team started passing
as a last gesture It completed
the passes and he couldn’t un-
derstand why it couldn’t do it
sooner.
Of course, there’s no ques-
tion but that a greater chance
is taken by putting the ball in
the air than by holding it close,
to the body. Except that Ark-
ansas might question this right
now since it’s Danny Brab-
ham smashed to the one-yard
line against Texas and had the
ball pop out of his arms so
that Texas could recover it in
the end zone.
There usually are as many
fumbles during a game as in-
tercepted passes. The latter
can cause more damage, h<
ever, because they can be run
back for touchdowns.
The pros don’t worry too
much about having passes in-
tercepted for t o u c h d o wns.
They can just throw another
one for a touchdown of their
tween the tackles that wins,!own. They know the other

Oak Cliff.
Two half-district titles ate
in the balance. Brownsville can
win the zone championship of
District 14 by downing Alice.
Houston Reagar, can win a
zone title in District 9 if
defeats Houston Jeff Davis.
Three Titles Reedy

THE BALL’S JUST A PROP — Sophomore Tommy John-
ston got to carry the ball for the first time of the year

though, that the Sulphur Springs second unit blocking back
has contributed to a great many more yards than that.

concerned. He’s not interested
in the science of the game—
he just wants his team to win.
Actually, Southwest Confer-
ence football is more open
than it has been in six years.
The average rushing plays per
I game has been 44.5, which is
| the smallest in the six-year
period. Pasting averages 18.3
plays per game, which is the
highest. Of the 18.3 passes
thrown per game. 8.8 are com-
pleted, which is as high as any
of the other years. So it isn’t

Think of Fan*
The only way for the col-
leges to open up the game is
for both sides to think about
the spectator instead of per-
sonal victory. If so, they would
throw the ball a lot and use
a lot of razzle-dazzle.
However, the college coaches
are more interested in victory
than in appealing to the spec-
tator. The spectators them-
selves make it that way. They,
won’t support a team because
it throws a lot of passes and
scores a lot of touchdowns, if
it loses the game in the pro-
cess. They will support it if it
runs over guard and tackle and
holds the ball long enough to
win.
Can you blame the coaches
for playing dull, stolid foot-
ball, And to do it they have to

GETT1NG TO FRIDAY NIGHT’S high school action for ! fionted with the possibility of
a moment, the Wildcats are in a wonderfully strange position
of shooting for their second district victory of the season against
Greenville. And they can guarantee the best grid record at
SSHS since 1952 with one victory the rest of the way this
season.
The normal thing to expect after such a showing last week
against Mount Pleasant would be a let-down. But the Cats have
an opportunity to accomplish too, many things to let down, and
besides, they’ve had their big mental lapse already—and one
is enough. Greenville will he ready, you can bet on that. But it
still looks like a Sulphur Springs triumph.
Whatever hopes other District 6-AAA teams had of head-
ing off the McKinney bandwagon just about went down the
drain this week when Bonham lost the services of seatback Ro-
land Rainey. Without him Bonham just won’t be able to contest
McKinney Friday night. In the other district game it looks like

Somewhere in Darrell Royal’s
football teachings there is a
phrase that says: “Great teams
make successful goal-line
stands."
{ That’s part of Royal’s philo-
sophy and in the five and one-
half years he’s been in Texas,
his Longhorns have made 27
successful goal-line stands.
Those stands have been a ma-
jor factor in his amazing suc-
cess at T e x a s—45 wins, 13
losses and three ties through
the SMU game last Saturday.
The goal-line stands have
been directly responsible for
winning 13 games in that span
anil also have had a great hear-
ing in Royal’s winning 28 games
1
Texas games.
An offensive speciaist who
goes in on goal-line stands also
is a key man in this streak of
defensive play.
He’s Staley Faulkner, 225-
pound junior tackle from Den-
ton who has been playing a
bang-up job for the unbeaten
Longhorns this tail, raulkner,
affectionately called “bucket”
by his teammates because of
the large helmet he wears, is
an offensive specialist much
of the game. But he’s the first-
line replacement when the
enemy gets inside Texas’ 10-
yard line. Faulkner is a middle
guard on the Texas goal-line de-
fense.
“Staley’s put in on the goal
line because he’s big and strong
and doesn’t have to cover a big
area,” Line Coach Jim Pittman
says.
Faulkner likes offense best j
because “it’s more fun to block
folks” but he also likes the
defensive bit on the goal Ine.
“Of course I don’t like for
the other teams to get on our
goaf line,” he says, “but if they
do we take a lot of pride in our
stands and it’s something the
coaches talk to us abont a lot."
“Staley has made some big
plays,” Pittman says. “When
you • e e an opponent falling
down usually it’s Faulknew whs
