Sideline Slants \ Defense Key to Success
Tomorrow night the Bulldogs are played by the gridmen. Let’s ; M *
have their final home game of the
season. The opponent will be the
McMurry Indians from Abilene.
This contest will be of important
significance to one and all.
The Bulldogs will be trying to
extend their home victory string
v/ilich has lasted since the first
game of last season when the
Bulldogs dropped a 22-8 decision
to Southwest Texas State.
TLC has never defeated the In-
dians in the years that they have
met on the gridiron. In 1958 the
Indians handed the Bulldogs one
of their worst defeats ever as they
defeated this institution to the
tune of 63-0.
The record for the past three
years in Matador Stadium has
been 14 victories and only two
defeats. It has always been the
case of inability to win on the
load which has accounted for the
losses sustained by the Bulldogs.
Tomorrow night the ’Dogs will
face a team which has won only
two games this year, but it po-
tentially dangerous. The Indians
boast a backfield composed of
three lads who can run the .100
yard dash in under 10-seconds.
One of these lads is a 9.5 sprinter
fur the distance.
This too, will be the final home
game for the seven Bulldog sen-
iors: Richard Koehn, Billy Nel-
son, Don Josephson, Jeral Rains:
Elton Lieke, Henry Krause, and
Gary Huffman. These seven
lads have played a major role in
the Bulldog success over the past
three seasons. Let’s salute them
by saying “a job well-done!”
This final home game will find
the ’Dogs favored to nail down
the victory. This game will be
played to the hilt as all contests
everyone come out and back the
Bulldogs on Guadalupe County
night to show them we are behind
their efforts.
(■organs Triumph
Paced by the passing of Mike
Sparrow plus the receiving of
Sandy Guillaaeau and Bruce Gull-
berg, the Gorgans and the Black
League handily defeated the Yo-
Hos from the Gold League 21-0
in the intramural football play-
off last week.
Playing on a muddy field in
front of the gym, the Gorgans
took to the air and Guilladeau
caught a Sparrow pass for six.
King York converted on a pass
play. The half ended 7-0 and the
sixty or seventy onlookers re-
laxed.
The touted ground game of the
Yo-Hos was thwarted by the field
conditions and the absence of Don
Hale, leading scorer for the Gold
League champs. Dave Murray and
Gordon Schultz carried for good
gains, but the Yo-Hos could not
sustain a drive long enough to
score six.
Utilizing the air, again Sparrow
hit Gullberg for another six and
Jack Paysee converted. The scor-
ing ended with Guilladeau’s end
run in the last period.. Sandy’s
conversion run gave him scoring
honors for the day with thirteen.
Basketball has already come
upon the intramural scene having
opened last Monday. Games are
played in the gym each Monday
and Wednesday. Schedules are
posted in the gym and around
campus.

'Dogs vs. Indians
The TLG Bulldogs, seeking their
eighth straight victory in Matador
Stadium, host the McMurry Col-
lege Indians Saturday night hop-
ing to accomplish what they’ve
never done before.
That, simply stated, is beat Mc-
Murry.
Game time for the final home
tilt is 7:30 p.m. and both city and
college officials are attempting to
produce a banner crowd for the
clash between the two independ-
ents.
Seguin Mayor Joe Burges has
issued a proclamation declaring
it “Guadalupe County Night” and
urged all fans to swell Matador
Stadium as the Lutherans hope
to better their current 5-3 season
mark.
In five meetings the Indians
have emerged victorious every
time including a 6-0 verdict they
posted in 1961 at neutral Breckin-
ridge, the last time the two teams
met.
McMurry, which has joined the
Lone Star Conference but is not
competing for the championship
this season, trimmed the Bull-
dogs 9-7 in 1957, the first time they
met on the gridiron. Then, in
1958, they posted a 63-0 win at
Abilene and followed that with a
42-13 the following year.
The Tribe, which last week
dropped a scoring slugfest, 30-24,
to Trinity University, downed the
Bulldogs 15-7 in 1960. And chances
are good that Saturday night’s
tilt will be another high-scoring
affair.
Against Trinity, McMurry quar-
terback Larry Bethridge completed
19 of 33 passes attempted for four
touchdowns and 224 yards. Al-
though the Lutherans have used
the air lanes frequently, they rely
on their ground attack for most
of their scoring.
TLC quarterback Arlon Kirch-
ner is the total offense leader for
the Lutherans, having amassed
502 yards with 235 coming via
rushing and 267 on passing. Full-
back Dickie Manske is the top
rusher, picking up 477 yards in
113 carries.
guard, tackle, or center is . . .”
and that’s the last time the line-
men are given a thought. True, a
great majojrity of the people come
to a football game to watch the
quarterback throw the long pass,
the halfback make a long run, or
the fullback to pound out the
short yardage. Therefore, this
article is written to gain recogni-
tion for those guys up front for
the Bulldogs of 1964.
At the center position ranges
one of the captains, Gary Huff-
man, a 215-pound senior. Gary has
filled this position quite ably for
the past two seasons. Huffman
started every game last year and
until he got hurt, every game this
year.
When Gary was injured, Harvey
Renger stepped in and has filled
in adequately for the past three
weeks.
At the beginning of the year,
the guard position was one of
the most experienced positions on
the team. Then injuries hit and
the coaches were prompted to
make changes to fill the vacan-
cies.
Among the changes was that of
Jimmy Sagebiel who moved in
from blocking back. Jimmy quick-
ly moved into the starting guard
position and has proved to be a
valuable asset.
The opposite guard position is
manned by senior captain Elton
Lieke and Arlon Hoermann. Lieke
is one of the most aggressive men
cn the squad. Hoermann has done
a fine job on offense as he has
opened many a hole for Bulldog
runners.
Ted Seel has also seen quite
a bit of action at the guard posi-
tion. Now that he has recovered
from a knee injury, he is chal-
lenging Sagebiel for a starting
position.
The tackles are manned in the
capable hands of Stan Skavnak
and Joe Smith. Last year Skavnak
was moved from center to tackle
and by the end of the year he
was a starter. Smith has played
most of the year with hand in-
injuries. He is one of the best
blockers on the team.
Alternating at tackle with
Skavnak has been Richard Koehn,
a 225-pound senior. Koehn, one
of the strongest men on the squad,

is noted mainly for his defensive
play.
Robert Jubela has been alternat-
ing with Smith and is counted
cn heavily in the future. Freshman
Larry Nowotny has develope
rapidly and is a capable hand at
any time on offense.
The end positions on defense
have been manned by Lieke and
Seel. Lieke is one of the mosl
vicious tacklers ever to put on
a Bulldog uniform. These two
have been backed up by Aaroir^
Theilengerdes and Jeral Rains.
Both of these two lads are used
primarily as offensive ends.
Each week there is a battle
for the defensive tackle positions. /
However, most of the time, the;
faces of Koehn and Smith hav3
popped up to control these posi-
tions with authority. Both boys are
aggressive tacklers and are hard
to block out a play.
The current starter at the mid-
dle-guard spot is David Blaschkc
who started the year as the single^*
wing fullback. Charles Anderson
has seen considerable action at
the position due to his hustle and
spirit. The third person involved
in the spot is Wayne Phenice.
What Phenice lacks in size, he
makes up for in quickness amf*>
durability.
In the two linebacking positions,
Hoermann and Jimmie Craig rule
as top choices. Linebacker is an
old position to Hoermann as he
moved in as a starter last year,
and has held it ever since. Craig
was rushed into the othgr spot in
the first game after an injury.
In that game he led the team in
tackles and has started . every
game since then.
Henry Boenig was counted on
fill a linebacker position this yeaT^
but has been kept out of actio'
by a chronic knee injury. Th
coaches are hoping that Boenig, a
starter last year, will be able to
see action in the last two games
of the year.
When he isn’t filling the center.^
position, Renger alternates with.
Hoermann and Craig as lineback-
er. Renger, who has a good eye
for the ball, came up with two
fumbles against Corpus Christi.
This Saturday night as you
watch the game, don’t forget
about the men who ipan the
trenches. Remember, “it’s what
is up front that counts.”
