Hunt keeping quiet
on pro commissioner
BEVERLY HILLS. Calif. (AP)
—Lamar Hunt, the wealthy young
Dallas man who is organizing the
Americah Football League, isn’t
talking about who's going to be-
come the pro circuit’s commis-
sioner.
Hunt, here to discuss league
draft policies, declined comment
on a report Fritz Crisler, Michi-
gan athletic director, is being con-
sidered.
A committee is to appoint the
commissioner but Hunt also would
not confirm that the committee
had conferred with Crisler.
He said the committee decided
it would not discuss the matter
until a final announcement is
made "in fairness to a personal-
ity or ourselves.”
Crisler said that he has been
sounded out and he understood
his name is ”in the hopper.” He
denied he had talked terms with
anyone.
The Lobos ran 10 plays after the
kickoff but finally relinquished the
ball on a punt that rolled dead
they ate up almost nine minutes on the Andrews four. From there
of the first quarter and that meant
precious minutes that speedy And-
rews didn't own the ball.
If you don’t think they was im-
portant consider that during that
first quarter Levelland ran 25 plays
while Andrews got only five and
one of those five was a pass in-
terception by Ronald McCann.
Also consider that Andrew's ran
19 plays in the second quarter to
17 for Levelland: both teams got
off 15 in the third quarter and the
Lobos ran 17 to Andrews’ 13 in
the fourth quarter. That game may
have been won in the first quarter.
THE SECOND QUARTER saw
a big turning point also. The Lobos
began the second frame on second
down and ran three plays includ-
ing heir fourth down punt. On the
Mustangs first down Charles Macha
recovered a fumble on the 32 to
start the Lobos on their second
TD drive.
It took seven plays to get the
TD and two extra points with a
pass play to McCann getting 21
the Mustangs got off 10 plays and
worked their way back to the Lev-
elland 25 before Ronnie Fietz un-
hinged Ted Nelson and Don Burch
recovered Nelson’s fumble. The re-
maining 55 seconds were eaten up
by the Lobos in four plays.
WITH ALL THAT information
it becomes pretty evident that the
opening 19-play drive was very
important. Levelland ran 74 plays
and Andrews got 52 leaving a mar-
gin of 22 and it was the 25-5 first
quarter that turned the trick.
The Lobos have won a lot of
games by larger margins but the
more you study the game played
Saturday night the more you re-
alize just how good it was. Now
all we need is a repeat for this
Friday night.
Before the Lobos went to And-
rews Coach Johnnie Hickman made
the statement that "You’re not in
real good shape when you walk on
to the field.” The same statement
holds true of Snyder.
IF LEVELLAND FANS don’t
By TED MEIER
Associated Press Sports Writer
There's nothing a football line-1
man likes better than to make a J
jarring tackle. It gives him a j
feeling of satisfaction.
Maxie Baughan. captain and
center of Georgia Tech, is no ex-j
ception. He delights in bringing
down enemy runners. ,
The 212-pound senior gave -one j
of his best defensive exhibitions
last Saturday in helping Tech de-!
feat Tennessee 14-7. That perform-
ance gained him recognition to-1
day as the lineman of the week \
in the first Associated Press poll |
of "the season.
A red-haired burly youth of 21
from Bessemer, Ala., Maxie’s
play brought praise from both his
coach, Bobby Dodd, and Bowdan
Wyatt of Tennessee.
”1 never saw better tackling in
my life,” Dodd said. "Baughan

tackles in the first half alone. He
was a fine performer for us all
day."
Said Wyatt: “Baughan is a fine
player. You won’t see much bet-
ter linebacking than Tech had.”
Last year Maxie led the Tech
squad with 94 tackles, 50 more
than the runnerup. At the fate he
is going he is expected to exceed
that number this season.
Baughan’s play not only helped
make it four in a row for the
unbeaten, untied Engineers, but
helped boost Tech into No. 4 rank-
ing nationally in this week's AP
poll.
Gerald Burch, Baughan’s team-
mate, also drew praise from the
sportswriters and broadcasters
participating in the poll. An end.
