Board of Trustees Votes to End
H-SU Intercollegiate Grid Program
By TOMMY MILLER
Brand Sports Editor
Disappointing news struck the
Hardin-Simmons University cam-
pus one week ago as the Board
of Trustees voted last Friday to
officially drop intercollegiate toot-
ball from the athletic program.
Dr. W. B. Irvin of Dallas chair-
man of the Board of Trustees said
that the elimination of intercol-
legiate football at Hardin-Simmons
was necessitated by finan-
cial difficulties and losses experi-
enced in the total athletic pro-
gram. During a nine-year period the
athletic program has lost $908986
from 1954 through the last year.
Losses are now between $50- and
$60 thousand for the current
school year and are expected to
reach $95000 before the end of
school.
Dr. Irvin stated that all present
football commitments would be
honored.
"It is the full intent and
authorization of our board that
we honor all outstanding commit-
ments including those to student-
athletes" Dr. Irvin said.
Of course many of the football
players will want to transfer to
other schools to play football.
Continue in TAC
The University will continue
membership in the newly formed
Texas Athletic Conference as a
participating member in basket-
ball track and other spring
sports. Midwestern University
McMurry College and Tarleton
State College are other members
in the conference.
Dr. James Landes president of
H-SU said that decisions as to
the future employment of the two
football coaches Head coach
Floyd Huggins and Assistant
Coach Jim Gray would be work-
ed out as a study of the entire
athletic program is made.
Debate Team
n Eighth Annual Golden
Spread Forensics Tourney
Hardin-Simmons University de-
baters Carolyn Cudd Dallas jun-
ior and Debbie Sherry Dallas
freshman took second place hon-
ors in the Eighth Annual Golden
Spread Forensic Tournament in
Amarillo Jan. 10-11.
H-SU student's participating in
the tournament were Miss Cudd
and Miss Sherry senior women's
debate; Roy Peterson McCamey
junior pnd Richard Helgeson
Abilene sophomore senior men's
debate; Charles Dunn Waco
freshman and John Willis Plain-
view junior junior men's debate.
Also Judi Malone Abilene sop-
homore and David Ottewell Lad-
ner British Columbia sophomore
junior men's debate; and Carol
Mayo Graham freshman and Jan
Porter. Pamna freshman junior
women's debate.
In individual events were Caro-
lynn Cu.dd oratory; Roy Peter-
son and Judi Malone poetry rend-
ing; and Charles Dunn extem-
poraneous speaking.
Scoring a four-one win-loss rec-
ord in the preliminary rounds and
advancing through the elimina-
tion rounds Miss Cudd and Miss
Sherry lost to Bavlor University
in the final round of the senior
women's- debate.
Miss Malone and Ottewell ad-
vanced to the quarter finals for a
Action
The elimination of football ends
a 67 year reign of Cowboy grid
teams. During this period from
1897 to 1963 the Pokes won 240
lost 191 and tied 5.
Some of the best players and
coaches in the nation have come
from Hardin-Simmons. The Pokes
won the Border Conference
championship and played in the
Sun Bowl in 1958 under Slingin
Sammy Baugh.
Baugh and Turner
Baugh and Bulldog Turner
who played for the Cowboys
about 25 years are are two of
the top names in professional
football who had close associa-
tions with Hardin-Simmons foot-
ball. A native of Sweetwater Tur-
ner was an all-conference and
All-America center during his
days at H-SU. He was the first
draft choice of the Chicago Bears
in 1940. The Bears beat the
Washington Redskins and Baugh.
that year in the championship
game 73-0.
Other great players included
Little Doc Mobley Hook Davis
D. C. Andrews Bob McChesney
Al Johnson John (Model T) Ford
and his brother Kenneth Harold
(Havseed Stpnhpns. nnri VA
Sprinkle (who was later to become
1 XI it l
Known us me meanest man in
professional football".)
But in recent years the promi-
nence of Hardin-Simmons football
has slipped. Under Baugh Mc-
Chesney and Jack Thomas the
Pokes compiled a 27-game losing
streak before defeating Trinity in
the sixth game of the 1962 season.
Thomas finished the '62 season
with a 1-9 mark. Huggins had a
2-6-1 record this season.
Placed on Probation
Hardin-Simmons had also been
placed on probation by the NCAA
April 16 1963 for inviting two

four-one record losing to Okla-
homa City University.
Also scoring a four-one record
and advancing to the quarter
finals Miss Porter and Miss Mayo
lost to Baylor University.
In individual competition Miss
Cudd and Peterson advanced to
the final round of their respective
events.
Twenty-seven schools from ten
states were in attendance at the
tournament and H-SU teams
competed against 14 in debate
and several others in individual
events.
"This breadth of competition
from a broad geographic area is
one of the main advantages of
the tournament-type speech com-
petition" said Dr. DeWitte Hol-
land director of forensics. "It
allows for students to compete
against students from a broad
geographic area at a central loca-
tion. The experience proves in-
teresting and broadening to the
students.
Accompanying the students to
Amarillo Dr. Holland served as a
member of the tournament's
executive committee and also
supervised the contests in oratory.
The next forenstes competition
will be in the annual Baylor
tournament to be held the first
weekend in February. H-SU will
send a large contingent.
