SAN MARCOS HOSTS REDBIRDS
Trinity Hands
Cards Worst
Defeat in 29 yrs.
The Trinity University Tigers
scored three of the first four
times they had the ball and went
on to maul the Lamar Tech Cardi-
nals, 66-7, in San Antonio last
week. It was the worst defeat in
29 years of football for Lamar
Tech and its junior college pre-
decessor.
The Cardinals were never in
the game. All but one Tech scor-
ing threat was stopped by the
Tigers, or by fumbles. The Cards
seemed helpless against Trinity
passes.
Six Tiger touchdowns were
scored directly on aerials. Two
others were set up by passes and
two were scored solely on the
ground. Trinity kicked six of 10
extra points.
Except for a delayed buck and
feed-back to the weak side, the
Tiger ground game did not func-
tion. But this type play opened
gaping type holes in the Tech
defense that Tiger took advant-
age of to the fullest.
Tech’s lone touchdown came in
the fourth quarter. Sammy Car-
penter took a 53-yard pass from
Bill Lierman to set up first and
goal just inside the 10. On the
next play, Carpenter dashed off
right tackle to score standing up.
Lesley Parma converted.
The Tigers called their pass
plays “Easy” when they came out
of the huddle. And easy it ap-
peared as they consistently got
men open in the Tech secondary
for long gains. The only reason
the Tigers didn’t score more was
that the receivers dropped the
ball on several occasions.
Quarterback Alvin Beal and his
substitute, Allen Boren, riddled
the Tech defense unmercifully.
Beal completed eight of 11 passes
for 208 yards and four touch-
downs. Boren completed six of
12 for 101 yards and two TD’s.
Only one Trinity pass was inter-
cepted.
The game, in its late stages,
was marked by several penalties
mostly for unnecessary rough-
ness. Tech lost 75 yards by pen-
alties, Trinity 85.
Lone bright spots for Tech
were the running of Carpenter
and the passing of Lierman to
Frederick. Frederick caught 8
passes for a total of 91 yards.

'Doc Blanchard
Unknown Star
For Cardinals
Father, water-boy, doctor, coun-
selor, trainer, nurse, tutor, that’s
what Clyde Blanchard is to the
athletes he serves.
Clyde, known as “Doc” to the
boys, is the work-horse of the
managerial staff. “Doc” has been
with the boys for three years as
a jack-of-all-trades.
CLYDE BLANCHARD
Although “Doc” works over-
time at his various duties he
finds time to do a great dead of
studying. His good grades prove
this point quite well. “Doc” is
in his junior year as a physical
education major, and is absorbed
in his field of work. He is a
former football player for the
Eagles of Port Acres.
Active Member
With all his duties and studies
he finds time to be an active
member of three clubs, the PEP,
ACE, -and the FTA.
“Doc” is kept busy practically
all the time. He has charge of
alL injured boys who live in the
dorm and they usually keep him
quite busy when he’s around. He
is also in charge of the weekly
pictures of last week’s game.
Tech athletes have come to
know “Doc” as their friend and
companion in time of need. He
has yet to let them down when
they need him, which may ac-
count for many of his numerous
friends.
Cardinals Seek Revenge
For Last Year’s 14-13 Loss
DICK GOERLICH
Redbird Sports Editor
After absorbing a 66-7 licking
at the hands of Trinity University
in an intersectional game, the
Carpenter Is
New Conference
Rushing Leader
Although playing on a team
that was clobbered, 66-7, Lamar
Tech’s Sammy Carpenter took
over rushing leadership in the
Lone Star conference on the
strength of his performance last
week.
13 .
SAMMY CARPENTER
Tops in Rushing
Carpenter, 145-pound sophomore
all-conference back, picked up 68
net yards in 14 carries against
Trinity to push his season total
to a net 591 yards. Toting the
pigskin 112 times, he has averag-
ed 5.2 yards per effort.
Lierman Second
He currently holds an edge of
21 yards over the No. 2 mart,
Don Bingham of Sul Ross. Last
week’s leader, Jimmie Mobley of
Sul Ross, is in third place with
a net 559. Carpenter moved up
from fourth to assume rushing
leadership.
Tech’s Bill Lierman held onto
his No. 2 position in totcil offense,
but Pence Dacus of Southwest
Texas, who faces the Cardinals
tomorrow night in San Marcos,
is right behind. Lierman has a
net 923 yards, Dacus a net 913.
Lierman’s total includes 345 by
rushing and 578 passing. Dacus
has gained 194 rushing and 719
passing.
Nation’s Best
Donald (Cotton) Gottlob of
Sam Houston continued his
whirlwind ways last week, riddl-
ing the vaunted East Texas de-
fenses for 381 passing yards and
four touchdowns. His season
total now stands at 1701 net
yards, best in the nation for a
“small” college back.
Gottlob now is in a position to
set a new total offense record
for both major and small col-
leges. He has completed 96 pass-
es in 179 attempts for 1691 yards
and 14 touchdowns. He has add-
ed 10 by rushing.
Punting Drops
Bob Frederick’s punting aver-
age took a nose-dive last week
when Trinity blocked one of his
punts. His average now is 33.7
on 31 boots, fifth in the con-
ference. He led the league
through the first four games.
Trinity’s 10-touchdown parade
shoved the Cards into last place
in the conference in team defense
and last in passing defense. But
the Redbirds still rank second in
rushing behind the rugged East
Texas Lions. Fourteen enemy
touchdowns have been counted
through the air against Lamar
Tech.
Moore Leader
Carpenter is tied with George
Riley of East Texas for fourth
Redbirds return to Lone Star
Conference action against the
Southwest Texas Bobcats in San
Marcos. Game time is 8 p.m. at
Evans Field.
The Bobcats, after an early
season loss to A.C.C., 20-7, have
bounced back to become a conten-
der for the L.S.C. Crown. They
have won five straight games,
two being against foes and one
against Trinity 12-7. Last week
the Bobcats ran rough shoud over
Howard Payne 55-0.
Dacus Stars
Pence Dacus, second in LSC
passing with 219 yards, will be
Southwest Texas’ main offensive
threat. Dacus is a four letter-
man for the cats, having won var-
sity letters in football, basketball,
track, and tennis. He was a mem-
ber of the doubles team in tennis
which captured the LSC title
with a victory over the Cards in
the finals.
Sammy Carpenter moved back
into the rushing leadership by
over taking Don Bingham of Sul
Ross last week during the Trinity
game. Sammy now leads Bing-
ham by 21 yards with an overall
total of 591 yards.
Tech, after a 14-13 loss to the
Cats last year in our Homecom-
ing game, hopes to defeat the
high flying Bobcats on the rush-
ing of Sammy Carpenter and the
combination of Bill Lierman to
Bob Frederick. Bob ranks fourth
in the conference in pass receiv-
ing with 356 yards in 25 catches.
Howland Reich and Bill Lier-
man have “stiff” necks but both
will be ready Saturday night.
Birds Outweighed
The Redbirds will be outweigh-
ed in three of four departments
by the Bobcats. The Cats will
have an advantage in the offen-
sive line 206-202 and in the back-
field 175-164.
Defensively speaking the Birds
will break even, outweighing the
Cats in the secondary 169-165 but
losing two pounds in the line
204-206.
This will be Tech’s next to last
Lone Star Conference game.
They now have won one and lost
two in conference play.
