THE REDBIRD
September 25, 1964
Cardinals Smash Tigers 21-0
By ROSS MARKWARDT
Redbird Sborts Editor
Play ing as if an opening
game win were not enough,
the Lamar Tech Cardinals
went one step further in the
inaugural use of Cardinal
Stadium and shut out the
East Central Oklahoma
State College Tigers 21-0.
Paid attendance for the
season opener was 13,567,
a record crowd fora
Lamar football game. No
one who paid the price of
admission went home dis-
appointed in the home team
for they generated an
offensive thrust worth 406
yards on the ground and in
the air. Not only did the
Redbirds run, pass, and
score at will, but they kept
the Lamar goal-line mi-
cros sed. Whether or not
this is the beginning of a
tradition remains to be
seen, but the thought is
there.
Football coaches are
eternally pessimistic, but
it seems that Vernon Glass
has little reason to be if the
s p i r it and ability demon-
strated by his squad Satur-
day night withstands
throughout the season. Not
only did the f irst line
players batter the visitors
from Ada, Oklahoma, but,
the reserves, and, in fact
the freshmen gave an ink-
ling of things to come.
With an offense similar to
the kind produced in Austin,
quarterbacks Phillip Primm
and Jake David rotated in
a balanced at tack that
produced touchdowns in the
first three periods. Dou-
ble-duty-David was a
mainstay in the Card's
defensive secondary too, as
he batted down passes and
wraught havoc on those
few Tigers who managed
to break through the
secondary.
The first time the Birds
got the ball they opened up
for a 74 yard push to the
East Central four-yard line
only to find the ball scoot
away from tailback Harold
LaFitte. The Bengals re-
covered but were finable to
move and had to punt out.
Two plays later the Cards
were in business with six
points. Primm tossed a 17
yard aerial to end Robert
McNeill, and fullback
Darrell Johnson made like
a scared rabbit around
right end to the goal line 31
yards away. Mike Ali-
ma n ' s, try for one more
from placement was
blocked.
Whet her everybody was
nervous, or the ball just
wet is moot, but fumbles
SIX POINTS COMING UP--W ith the ball neatly tucked away Lamar Tech
fullback Darrell Johnson (31) rips off 31 yards for the first score of the
Lamar Tech-East Central Oklahoma game. Getting in the way of potential
tacklers are Cardinal quarterback Phillip Primm (11) who gave the handoff
to Johnson and tackle Anthony Guillory (76). Lamar won the game 21-0.

Freshmen
Open Grid
Schedule
For the first time in
sports history at Lamar
Tech, a freshman football
s c h e dule is being played.
Only three games are on
tap for this first season,
but expansion of the pro-
gram under Southland
C o n f e rence rules will be
attempted.
The first Little Redbird
contest was Thursday night;
as 2 5 p 1 a yers suited up
for a game with Mexico
Poly in Cardinal Stadium.
The highly rated Univer-
sity of Houston freshman,
including Warren McVea,
the all-state back from San
Antonio play in Cardinal
Stadium October 8. The
fresh men close out their
initial season with Blinn
Junior College in Brenham
November 5.
Some freshmen athletes
who see action in the var-
sity games will also play
on the freshman schedule.
Texas has an area of
263,513 square miles.
cost everybody something.
East Central bobbled nine
times and failed to recover
seven. La mar lost the
porkhide four times
through the fumble route.
An East Central fumble
in the second quarter set
up the second Lamar Tech
score. Whit Baker pounced
on the ball on the Bengal
18 yard line to provide
field-general Primm with
another golden opportunity.
He skirted left end for
eight yards behind the
sledgehammer block of
All-America candidate
Anthony Guillory, but the
Cardin als drew a 5 yard
setback for illegal motion.
It didn't matter to Jake
David f or he flipped one
s t r a i ght down the middle
to wingback Steve Bailey
waiting near the goal-line.
Bailey stepped across,
Allman added the extra
point and Reddy Kilowatt
flashed 13 points on the left
side of the scoreboard with
6:43 left in the first half.
Bill W orsham nabbed a
fumble by Tiger halfback
R oyce Fisher on the East
Central 25 to set up the
third quarter tally. It took
seven plays, with the score
coming on a five yard
pass from Primm to Dan
Yezak. An offside penalty
on the extra point try
moved the ball closer to
the goal line increasing
the odds for a two point
con version. Quarterback
David liked the odds and
col lected the pair, plung-
ing over right guard.
With a 21-0 lead coach
Glass inserted most of the
bench and found the results
equally as encouraging.
East Cent ral generated
drives to the Lamar five
and three yard lines, but
1 o st the ball on downs and
fumbled away the remain-
ing chance. EC made
similar advances to Card-
inal territory throughout
the game but were thwarted
by pass interceptions and
fumbles.
The most electrify in
play of the game was a 7
yard s camper by Royce
EC's Fisher to the Lamar
15 yard line. Danny Jones
got the angle and crossed
the play ing field to haul
F is her down. That drive
too, bog ged down on the
Redbird five.
Any facets of the game
that mentor Glass might
have been displeased with
were not obvious to the
casual observer. Not only
did the offense roll like a
well-oiled machine, but
key defensive plays by
numerous players bottled
up the touted offense of
the Oklahoma bunch. Gary
Crain, the powerful
fullback of EC was held to
minimum yardage all
night. This was due in no
small part to the efforts of
Vernon McMannus, whose
name was heard over the
public address system
repeatedly.
