SATURDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1949 (ARK.) COCKIER More Changes Expected In Porkers' Staff- H. PAGE rrvi Douglas Remains Silent on Topic if Seems Certain That He'll Add at Least Two New Men FAYETTEVILLE Doc. 17. Hiring of otis nonplus as coacli the major step in efforts to revitalize University of Arkansas lontball. But more changes arc ccr- tain to coma.

There arc Ihp mntters of assistant coaches, installation of a new style of play and various natural frcneral policy. In crmlractfns DoiiRlas for Hires years at a. 512,000 per, the university made it By Statistically Speaking Just how bad of a football season dlrl niythcville High School have? The records show a 6-4 year but were the Chicks really as bad as Mr Average Pan would have you believe? During the pasi three weeks ol oil-season Ui.it question has gotten us into more arguments thamdtd ihe Selective Service Act. So tar we have yet to win a single one of these arguments. The competition was a little keen as we had very few confederates and those thai we did have weren't too happy about the whole thins themselves.

13ut this week we sat down and whittled out our own weapon and armeil with same, we are now ready to take on all comers. including the holiest ol those who, a lew weeks ago, were ready to single out members the Clucks' coaching stall and hang them from the highest goal post. clear that tic Tlle weapon we are speaking of is Ihe statistics computed for the world he given a free liand in run- entire season and after going over these, we were even more convinced in- that the trouble with the Chicks was not something lhat could be cor- reeled through a change of system, coaching stall or school administration. The trouble, in inn- opinion, laid between the well-scl ears of the players themselves. And Dint, the willingness to play a good, hard game at all limes, cannot ue corrected by even (he best coaches It's either there or it isn't.

nazorback football that cludes (lie riRht to select the as he wants. is believed DoiiRlns. 38-venr- oW trainer and strategy advisor for Ine Philadelphia Eagles for several years, will bring in at least one or assistants, probably including a backfield coach. He may wish to retain some members of staff which has served llnlcr John Barn- mil, recommpnoed the reorKan- teiiion and stepped aside as coach to become fulltime athletic director, Douplns commented at Los Angeles last night: won't lie. anything at nil 'about assistants) or have anything "inch to say aiioi't my plans until I go down there and talk to everyone concerned." The Ragles will end the season In Sunday's National Football League championship playoff game against the Los Angeles Rams, and Douglas is expected to come to Tayettcville on his way back east He is duo to lake over'his new job here Jan.

Cole, a former Rnxorback star and head coach, is Arkansas' chief scout Brackett doubles in brass as baseball coach and Hooscr as track coach. The cringe in playing stvlos mav not be too great for the Razubacks to grasp in spring practice and earlv drills next fall. Dot-Rlns has said hi will employ variations of the formation.

Porfageville Spfit in Brace of Tilts with Gideon PORTAGEVILLE, Dec.

Segal paced Ponageville scorine "Mi 12 points, portaecville took a 17-13 halftime lead and went on to capitalize on free throws to win. Ganu Figures Don't Lie 117 17-1 101 1.561 129 55 821 6 Glancing over the records, here's the way the- Chicks stacked with the opposition in the 1C games played: Illyllieville Opponci Total Points Scored Fust Downs Yards Gained Hushing Passes Attempted Passes Completed Yards Gained Passing Passes Intercepted by Fumbles Opponents Fumbles Recovered 12 Iu Penalties 74 for 671 yards 33 for 3111 yds. Those figures are from our own wcek-by-wcek files and though not exactly official, they are the closest you can find as similar records arc not, kept by the coaching staff.

The Chicks, in nil but two departments, outshone the opposition and in only onc-of these is their record such Ihut they need hang their heads in shame. That's in penalties where 74 rule infractions cost them a total of 071 yards to 318 yards paid by the opposition for 33 infractions. One of the strongest arguments ofTcvctl us was that the should have passed more, that their aerial attack didn't compare with that of the opponents. One argumentive soul even offered to wager that the percentage of Chick completions wouldn't be 50 per cent as good as the opponents'. Blythcvillc threw a total of 80 passes, completed for 603 yards.

That's an average .404. The opposition threw a total of l'2'J aerials, completed 55 for an average of .426 and 821 yards. A liule liver 200 yards shy but not. bad comparison considering that the Chicks' olfeuse was built around puwer and not around passing.
