THE MEGAPHONE
Coach Dees (center) checks roll at the beginning of
the first intramural football practice. More men than
Largest Group Ever Opens Practice
For Exciting '64 Football
largest
ever before came out for the sport this year. Spirit was
high the first day, and promise is for a great season!
m John Ozmun and Lynn White
1964 fdojtbiill season started with
a flourish Tuesday out on the Sny-
der athletic field
This year will be another year
of great competition, not only a-
mong the teams participating, but
also among the spectators and the
foliage that has sprouted up in 'the
lower section of those wonderful
bleachers.
Everyone’s spirit is high as it
always is the first few days of prac-
tice. As the days go marching on
to tlie first game, which is only a
few weeks off, the spirit usually
changes into an attitude of serious-
ness and determination.
The participation this year will be
somewhat improved,' if the first day
of practice can. be usrd to measure
the interest and competition.
Each of the fraternities and the
independents were represented. At
a glance the teams may be rated
as follows:
Phi Delta Theta - seems to hold
a cxwnmar.ding position because of
size, speed, and depth.
Kappa Alpha - also looks big with
familiar faces showing up, but must
yield to the Phi's because of lack
of speed.
Pi Kappa Alpha - the strength
of this group will depend mainly
on how its new men jel. I^aeks
Size and depth. ’ •
Kappa Sigma -- hurting for depth,
but always strong; could fool same
people.
Independents - strong on enthusi-
asm but little else. Time will tell.

^ t.'JThe Phis have the largest group
out this fall with the KA’s and
Pikes wal-rep resent ed . The Sigs and
Barbs have smaller but competitive
teams ready to pop leather.
The practice is being supervised
by Coach Myron Dees, Southwestern
coach. Workouts have been strict,
but conditioning is the first ingredi-
ent that goes into making a win-
ning team.
No one can ever say for sure how
a football game will come out, and
as usual, Southwestemers can look
forward to close games with many
exciting moments.!

PREDICTION: ...............
By Ray Wilson .
Now that school is officially un-
derway, and a comparatively large
freshman class has been orientated
to the procedures of this great uni-
versity, many minds tend to wonder
what kind of year to expect in the
varsity athletics.
Last year the Pirate baseballems
were conference co-champs, a posi-
tion to be proud of. A record just
as impressive should e\#lve again
this year with two aH-conference
selections returning. Don Dailey, a
senior pitcher this year, was ranked
fifth in the nation last year for his
E. R. A. of 0.68. Also returning is-
Krueger.
A crop of new student? are also
expected to help the baseball situa-
tion. Lynn -Pizzitola heads up the
prospects as a first base or out-
field hopeful. A letterman from
Houiston-Westbury, Pizziltola should
be an asset to the team. Other base-
tall prospects are Les Crane from
Eagle Lake and Bilk (WiUki, Rol-
lnian from Housfcon-Bellaire.
On the gr>lf scene a great corn
tribufion should1 come from Scott
Fuller, a Midland-Lee man. Scott
was a representative to the state
golf meet in Austin last spring from
Lee. In his only rounds on the
Kurth Golf Course, lie shot an even
par 33.
Also on the list of golf hopefuls
is Billy Lockett of the San Antonio
Alamo Heights’ championship golf
team. Coach Randolph Medley
should be able to send out a great
foursome or two.
i ■ - '
As far as basketball is concerned:
all-conference back-stopper David hep**, but an predictions
yet. Tt dM* seem we’re due, how-
ever.
And if Southwestern sends a track
team to conference this year, Scott
Douglas from AuSfin^McCallum is a
good-locking prospect. He hopes to
run the 440 and throw the discus.
Sports on the varsity level could
offer a lot this year. Time will toll.

Speed, Power f t
by Tom Vickers > p:
There is a snap in the air, and,
like the sounding of trumpets, it
announces that the time for foot-
ball is here again.
•Many of the great football play- .
‘ ets have departed from this camp-
us, such as the awesome Robert
Biandes and Charlie Wilson T£iE
alas, once again we are faced with
tire problems of blocking the Miac
Burns and stopping the Nelson Ful-
lers.
Tlie barefoot wonder from George-
town, Gerald Hill, is back again
as is the swift James Adams. Try*
ing to collar these two shifty backs
is like trying to rope a cyclone.
The sure handed Bill Collins is
back to snag some more pastes
while Larry Safaric \vjil| try to see
that he doesn’t. Tom . Vickers . Wil
be running and punting once more
kig some of his wizardry.• *■
It will be a great season with
the addition ctf talented_
should provide os
only such high competi-
tive teams can, sure to be
there for that opening kickoff, and ‘ <
remember, the polish may bp lack-
ing - but never the iWrt. ~ * ,.i. *
