First of Johnston's main ries began when head coach Jerry) Hines was called away for a year's active duty with the national guard, leaving Johnston in charge That wouldn't have been so bad, because the present coach has had plenty of experience and a good record as a coach on his own at Cameron Junior College, but with Mines seems to have gone all the enthusiasm at State College.

Johnston started the season with less than 30 men on the squad, and there's still that few. Now he has only about 25 men out for practices, and "that's stretching it some," be says. What Do They Do? That's a mighty small number for the size, of New Mexico A. and which, 'though its total enrollment is small in comparison to many schools. Loyola, St.

Mary's of the West Coast, Gonzaga, and many other well- known colleges and universities have no larger enrollments, yet their football squads have to be cut, to keep it down to a size the coaching staff can handle. Just what the student body-three-fourth male docs every afternoon, besides attend classes and laba. is something: of a mystery. There arc probably 50 men good enough to make the football squad, yet they don't ever try. Just a Step Child But the lack of material isn't Johnston's oniy worry, though he won't admit any more.

University of New "Mexico in El Paso Saturday afternoon, head coach Mack Saxon said, following today's practice. Charles Dean, senior ballcar- rier, who played a good game in the fourth quarter in last week's 14-6 loss to Hardin-Simmons schedule! to replace Owen Price in the starting secondary.

Dean hurled several completed passes against the Cowboys. The Miners came out of the Hardin-Simmons fray, which was played in the mud, without any serious injtTies. The only casualties are Dewey Fitzgerald and Lee Floyd, sophomore erds, who have been out of action since the North Dakota game. They will not be ready for the Lobo tilt, Saxon saif.

It's all just part of the job to Johnston, but it really worries him to have every man on his small squad put everything he 'has into every practice, and every game, knowing nil the while there's not much chance of winning more than one or two more games all season. He'll get that award all right. KIMBROUGH'S PLAY BRANDS HIM ALL-AMERICAN REPEATER COLLEC ESTATION, Oct.
