I Texas Loses A Quarterback DOWN AT THE UHIVEMIIT of Texas, they have just said goodbye to another quarterback, named Andy White. There really isn't much new in item, because it is the same old story on the Forty Acres.

lYom six to 13 quarterbacks the Orange White each autumn, and three years later virtually all have disappeared. A few may be at other positkMis, but most have dropped by the wayside. 4.

Andy was a star jchoolboy quarterback at Houston Lee, and was sought by most id I the Southwest Conference Schools as well as by institutkins the Southeast and Midwest. But he with Texas, along witti signaKcallers like Bill of Palestine, Scooter Monidngo of Del Rio, Chad Dulaney Fort Worth Arlington Heights, Benny Pace of Sweetwater Tony Murphy of Lufkin. Bradley, of coarse, wai the hoss. But certainly a gifted jpasser like Andy had a right to expect that he wouk! get a fair if hot at the big job, and woukl get to see some actkm during his career, if only as a backup man for Bill But Andy got to play witti the first team only once, and that in 1966 when Bradley was injured just before ttie Oklahcxna The next week, limped back into the lineup and was, in effect the end of Andy White as a Longhorn gridder.

WJIfNY miNG IS that even Is not exempt Irom the mwldle at Texas. With his senior season Coach Darrell Royal has been saying that Bradley's 4 in 1967 was not satisfactory, and that will have jto improve to his job.

After all, the Longhorns have a of brilliant on the roster in Monty Johnson of Amarillo and Ikldie Phillips of Mesquite.
