Farmers will be playing before a;
homecoming crowd.
The game appears to be a toss-
up. even though Azle has a spot-
less record of four wins and no
losses, while the Farmers have a
3-2 mark. However, those two vic-
-tories have come in the past two
weeks and have been attained
through top • notch performanc-
es, 12 touchdowns being scored ov-
er the route.
The Farmers murdered Alvord,
46-0, two weeks ago in a makeup
game, and then opened defense

This only means of comparing

Coaches soon discovered that
when a "one - on - one" situation
was created. If your individual was
capable of outmaneuvering his de-
fensive rival he could get open
repeatedly for long gains and
touchdown passes. An example is

when the McKinney Lions journey
to Garland Friday night for a non-
district game with the Owls.
As a matter of fact. Garland was
the very first opponent a McKinney
ball club ever met on the gridiron
after rules and regulations were
adopted here making the high
school team strictly a high school
team. Prior to that season school
boys had been supplemented by
those already graduated or anyone
else who was big and strong and
willing to play football.
Garland and McKinney played
two games that first year—1909—
with the first meeting ending in a
scoreless tie and McKinney win-
ning the second 6-6.
Not since 1961 have the Lions
defeated the Owls. That was at
Newsome Stadium and by a 36-6
score. The Owls have come out on
top in the last five games and on
only one occasion have the Lions
been able to even score. In 1963 it
was 14-0; 1963, M; 1864, 26-0; 1966,
64-0, and in 1966, 144.
In the 12 games played by Gar-
land and McKinney since 1909.
ties and no score is available on
one.
This fall the Lions will take a
3-0-1 record into the game while
Garland has had to be content with
a 1-3-1 record up to now. The Lions
are leading District 6-AAA in vic-
tories, in scoring and in defense.
Garland is tied for third in 5-AAA
in games won and lost, is fourth
in total points scored (40). and la
third in the district in defense,
having allowed their four appon-
ents a total of 41 points.
Last week Arlington defeated
Garland 31-14. McKinney beat Ar-
lington 30-7 two weeks ago.
Although seriously crippled by
flu the Lions beat a good Ennis
team 13-6 last week They have
scored SO points while allowing
only 30 to be scored against them
this season.
Concerning possible changes in
college football, it is difficult to
prophesy accurately. Over the
past few seasons the split-T- has
been the most popular offensive
formation. The.idea of using the
field from sideline to sideline to
spread the defense through t h e
variations of spacing the linemen
has enabled the offense to move
about quite well without using a
great number of radical formation
changes.

Football is a constantly chang-

has been composed of 11 men
and the basic purpose remains to
advance the ball by running or

The worst Stengel would say
about Simpson (who came othe

It was an understatement. Simp-

boomeranged into double plays
five times in his last seven at
bats.
Still. Case said. "he's just off

have too many guys off ths beam
because our two big men (Mickey
Mantle and Bill Skowron) are
out."
Then Stengel got up and headed

squeezed into his office - under
Yankee Stadium yesterday after
the 3-2, "must” victory over, the
Milwaukee Braves. But when only
a few questioners remained, the
most successful manager in his-
tory looked tired and maybe a lit-
tle wilted by the battle his New
York Yankees had to prevent a
sixth game defeat that would have
decided the title.
He looked like a loser instead
of a winner
About the lineup question, which
obviously referred to first base,
where Stengel had stayed with
Harry Simpson and suffered, Ca-
sey said: "Everybody's been try-
ing to find out about first bae, to
toll you the truth."
"Even you?" somebody asked.
"I donno," said Case. "I always
wind up goin' with the man may-
be I don't want and thinkin' tat
if I hit for him then he’s out and
I miss him when I need him be-
cause you can lose one way or the
other."

Last weekend was a good one
in the guessing game. I hit on 10,
missed four and halves one.
That ups the percentage to .627
over the season route. So far, I've

and tied on five.

a doctor would probably do better
as a predictor. It appears that the

er this wide man. This was en-
larged by multiple flankers, an
end to one side and a back to
another. The idea reached its ul-
timate conclusion when the line-
men were spread scross the of
fensive lines, resulting in the heart
of the split - T formation.
In order to cope with this type
of offense, the defense had to
change radically. It switched

NT Newsman Named
To Sports Committees
Dr. James L. Rogers. NTSC
News Service director, has been
appointed to two committees of
the College Sports Information Di-
rectors of America by the group’s
president, Ted Mann of Duke Uni-
versity
He will serve on the football sta-
tistics committee headed by Ned
West of Georgia Tech and the bas-
ketball photo contest committee
headed by Danny Hill of San Jose
State.
Odus Mitchell tossed his start-
ing eleven in the air Tuesday and
Wednesday and the results found
five new faces in the first unit
which will face Abilene Christian
College in Abilene Saturday.
Frankly admitting the move
was to stir the squad - from its
mental and physical lethagy,
Mitchell said Wednesday after-
noon it appeared to bo having the
desired effect.
The Eagles' starting backfield
was completely revamped with
only fullback. Jerry Young re-
maining. Abner Haynes and BUI
Groce. No. 1 and 4 in rushing in
the Missouri Valley Conference,
were elevated to the halfback
posts.
David Lott and John Darby
moved to the second unit back-
field as did quarterback Ray toole.
Either J. N. Wright or Verron
Cole will draw the starting nod
Saturday, Mitchell indicated. Cole
set up the Eagles' touchdown
against Drske with a pass inter-
ception and then passed to Leon
King for the touchdown.
Two changes in the line send
Bruce Simmons into a tackle slot
and sophomore Frank Klein into
an end position. Simmons nudged i
big Edgar Gray from his place on
the first unit and Klein ousted Jim
Braymer.
Mitchell said Wednesday the flu
wave was apparently on the de-
cline and he had hopes most of
the squad would be ready for ac-
tion against the ACC squad.
Another bright note was the
condition of starting end Mac Rey-
nolds’ knee which was injured in
the Drake game. The knee is heal-
ing well and Renolds will probably
see considerable action against
the Wildcats. He worked out with-
out pads Wednesday and did not
appear to favor the leg
Pass defense is still drawing
the heaviest emphasis at the Ea-
gle camp. A scrimmage Tuesday
marked the end of contact work
for the week with individual pass
defense and passing offense to
draw the bulk of attention the rest
of the week. -
Mitchell was well pleased with
the showing of the squad in the
scrimmage session Tuesday. "They
hit like a ton of bricks." he said;
"and none of them are limping or
wheezing around today.”
