"The only thing that’s
going to determine the size
of your funeral is the
weather
A kid asked me for an
autograph recently and all
he had was a soft drink cup
for me to sign Since I
couldn’t sign through the
wax, 1 told him if he’d go
get me a piece of paper, I’d
wait and sign it.
He looked at me and
said, “I don’t want it that
bad." e
Ever wonder who the
highest-paid sports an-
nouncer is?
Wonder no more — Pele
received 8500,000 for his
one month working the
World Cup soccer tourna-
ment.
Graig Nettles had a
great line after the Yank-
ees ran themselves into a
triple play against the
Twins the other day. He
said, “What we need is a
second-base coach.”
Former Burleson resident
Jim Garner accepts AD post
LUBBOCK Former Bur
leson resident Jim Garner
has resigned as assistant
athletic director at Texas
Tech University to accept
the p<t>ition of athletic direc-
tor at Appalachian State Uni-
versity in Boone, N C
Gamer was an award win-
ning sports information di-
rector at TCU for a number
of years before being fired in
w hat he termed a "political”
shakeup at that school. His
Hogan Acres home was easy
to spot during his TCU years
because of the purple mail-
box on the street
He worked in the advertis-
ing department of the Burle-
»on Star for about six months
after leaving the TCU sports
department. He left Burleson
to become involved in the
athletic administration at
West Texas State university
in Canyon Three years ago
he accepted the assistant
athletic director’s job at
Tech
GARNER SENT the fol-
lowing statement to The
Slur:
"It is with p combination
of sadness and gladness that
I leave Texas Tech Natural-
ly, I’m sad to be leaving
what I consider to be one of
the top schools in the entire
nation. I contend that Tech
has more untapped potential
than any school in the Soutli-
west Conference The Red
Raiders could, and should,
be thought of in the same
vein as A&M, Arkansas, and
Texas. This program has un-
limited possibilities
"However, I'm elated to
have the opportunity to be-
come athletic director at Ap-
palachian State I thank our
good God that I have a voca-
tion that also is my avoca-
tion
"A man reaches the point
in his profession when he
knows, without a doubt and
with all sincerity, that he's
ready for the next step I’ve
felt very strongly for a while
now that I was ready to
direct my own programs,
and I've been blessed with
the opportunity to do so at an
excellent school in a wonder-
ful location

sured I’ll be following Tech
avidly and when the day
comes that the masked rider
gallops into the Cotton Bowl
you’ll hear me cheering all
the way from the mountains
of North Carolina ”
Gamer was one of the 70
applicants for the Appala-
chian job The field was nar-
rowed to six finalists by a
screening committee and, fi-
nally, to three after inter-
views were held with each
‘‘Out of many excellent
applicants, we feel that
Garner has the attributes we
want of an athletic director
at Appalachian State,” said
Chancellor John Thomas.
Garner said he had previ-
ously turned down the AD
position at one school and
declined to apply for the
position at another school
after receiving an invitation
”1 JUST didn't feel they
were the right positions,” he
said
But he said he felt the
Appalachian job was just too
good to pass up. T he school is
a member of the Southern
Conference, competing in 10
men's sports programs and
nine women’s programs. The
state school has an enroll-
ment of 10,000.
Garner said his immediate
goals for the ASU athletic
program would be to
strengthen its fund raising
and promotional aspects
He will assume his new
duties on Sept. 1.
The former Burleson resi-
dent, who just turned 39, is a
1965 graduate of TCU. Before
turning to sports administra-
tion, he was a sportswriter
for the Lomein Daily Re-
porter, the Abilene
Reporter-l\eun, and the
Fort Worth Star-Tele-
gram.
