Ex Eagle Grid Stars
Abundant in Pro Loops
By (iARTII BUDLONG
The search for potential professional
football stars brings many pro scouts
to the North Texas State campus.
in the pant and in the present NTSU
ha* produced some major professional
players.
Carl Lockhart and A D. Whitfield
are two well known Sunday performers.
Lockhart, a defensive safety with the
New York Giants, now enters hi* third
season with that club. Kven though play-
ing for a team with u 1-12-1 record,
Lockhart was chosen to participate in
the Pro Howl khiiif last season.
WHITFIELD IS ENTERING his sec-
ond season with the Washington Red-
skins. Last year he was Washington's
leading ground gainer, with 47'2 yards
on 93 carries.
Another former NTSU star, John
Love, seems certain to have found a spot
on the Redskin roster.
Love, the fourth leading pass receiver
in the nation last year at NTSU, has
greatly impressed the Washington coach-
ing staff with his ability to play both
offense and defense.
In a nationally televised game against
the Chicago Hears Aug. y, Love made an
impressive showing. Playing right corn-
erback, he picked up u fumble and ran
it 32 yai .s to set up the club's first
touchdown. He kicked off five times,
kicked three extra points, returned a
punt 18 yards and ran a kickoff back 53
yards — he was only one man away
from a touchdown. He also blocked well.
On one punt return by running mate
Ricky Harris, Love made two important
blocks. Washington won, 37-14.
Other National Football League hope-
fuls from NTSU are Hobby Smith, Bob
Sanders and Vidal Carlin.
Smith, who was traded from Buffalo
of the American Football league to New
Orleans in the NFL, has played three
seasons as a pro.
Sanders starts hi* second season with
the Atlanta Falcons. He spent last year
on the taxi squad. The year of seasoning
has paid off, and Sanders appears to
have made th> traveling squad.
Carlin, a rookie with the St, Louis
Cardinals, saw some action in a loss to
the New Orleans Saints Saturday. It
appears that he will make the club,
since quarterbacking will >>e one of the
Cardinals' weak points. Charley John-
son, the Cards' top quarterback last
year, has been drafted into a different
league he will play l>all with the
U. S. Army. The backup man for John-
son, Terry Nofsinger, was traded to
the Falcons.
EX-EAGLE ABNER HAYNES, who
has thrilled many AFL crowds with his
running and passing catching since the
league began, enters his eighth year as
a pro. He started with the old Dallas
Texans, who became the Kansas City
Chit's. He then played for the Denver
and now is with Miami.
The Canadian Football League has
several NT exes in camp.
Arthur Perkins, who last played for
NT in 1962, now | lays with the Winnipeg
Hlue Bombers.
Hilly Woods, a defensive standout on
the I960 Eagle team, is getting a tryout
with the Montreal Alouettes,
Rurkley Darkless, another defensive
standout of last year's team, tried out
with Edmonton Eskimos but was re-
leased.

Fred Cobb, former NT golf coach, de-
voted much of his time to building a
golf program at North Texas. Under
his direction the present Golf Course
and Club House were built. His teams
won four straight national champion-
ships.
In an attempt to sustain the memory
of Cobb and to promote the golf pro-
gram at North Texas, a group of Cobb's
players have dor-ated money to North
Texas for a golf scholarship to be named
for Cobb.
At a reunion held last fall at the Den-
ton Country Club for the former players
of Cobb, the group decided to initiate
the annual scholarship.
Bernie Averitt of Dallas is the first
recipient of the scholarship, Averitt, the
No. 1 player from Bryan Adams High
School's state championship team this
year, signed a golf letter of intent with
Coach Herb Ferrill at the Dallas Coun-
try Club last week.
Two of NT's all-time great golfers,
current PGA champion Don January and
Ross Collins, pro at the Dallas Country
Club, were on hand as Ferrill presented
the scholarship to Averitt.
Ferrill said this week that the scholar-
ship is "a great tribute to Mr. Cobb;
the golf tradition of our university will
benefit greatly from this scholarship und
we're happy to start with Bernie."
Ferrill noted that North Texas is for-
tunate to have received the scholarship:
"In golf it is hard to get too many
scholarships for a team."
Cobb, who died in 1964, watched his
young golfers lose only one match in
his last six years. In addition to the
four national championships, Cobb's
teams won 17 other team championships
in eight years.
Two members of last year's NTSU
golf team have qualified for the Na-
tional Amateur Golf Tournament in Col-
orado Springs, Colo., Aug 30.
Jeff Voss and Ras Allen qualified
Tuesday at Hrookhaven in Dallas in a
field of ">2 golfers. Voss shot the low
score, 141, 3-under-par, and Allen fin-
ished third with 147.
Golf Sweepstakes End
In Tie for First, Third
The 1907 NTSU Golf Sweepstakes
season ended Monday with a real knotty-
situation •— a tie for first place and
another tie for third.
North Texas golfer Ras Allen cap-
tained two teams to a tie for first place
in the sweepstakes. Ray Meredith and
Montie Mass were on one team with the
dually registered Allen, Dwight Smith
and Dale Hudson were his partners on
the other team.
Allen shot fH5 to help lioth of his teams
chalk up 91 sweepstakes points.
Double duty again resulted in a tie
situation in the third place slot. David
Caldwell and Glen Wilkinson were Inith
on the two teams that tied for third.
Meredith was the third member of one
Caldwell-Wilkinson team up and Ruelien
James was the final third of the other
Caldwell-Wilkinson association.
Scholar-Athlete Award
Goes to Future Eagle
A future NTSU freshman from South
Garland High School was to be presented
a Scholar-Athlete Award Thursday night
at a Fort Worth football rally.
The student, Jack Meeker, a ti-3Vi,
190-pound end, was twice an all-district
player.
The National Football Foundation
sponsors the award, which was given to
freshman players from NTSU, TCU,
SMU and the University of Texas at

Meeker ranked in the top 30 per cent
of his graduating class, with an aver-
