hint of View Indians Physically Beaten, Declares McMurry's Fornes by James McAfee THE JOB of coaching is not an easy one. It doesn't end with the practice sessions and games. There are a lot of other on the high school level and even to a certain extent in the colleges. A coach is a teacher, a leader in many school activities, a public speaker, a publicity director of sorts, a salesman of his particular game, a friend of his players' families and of course a target of blame for his team's setbacks. Money Primary Aim Thank goodness there are such i i i a so dedicated to their sport that they devote all their energies handling these all- important jobs.

For the most, part, money certainly can't be their primary aim it doesn't hurt of course since coaching doesn't always of.er that much financial security. A coach must observe strict personal rules of behavior and demand the same from his players. A coach must be a real sportsman and teach his players to follow his example, accepting victories with modesty and defeat with dignity. A coach must i a slic, energetic, dedicated, industrious and of course inspiring. I know my coaches back at Vemon High School such as Bob Pcrcival and Vemon Townsend were credits to their profession and 1 felt they've had a great influence on me.

Furthermore, in 10 years Of writing sports, I've had the opportunity to deal with a lot of other coaches. I'm happy to say most of them meet my high principles. We're lucky here in the "I think we just got physically jijjjj whipped," said McMurry Coach jjijjjBuddy Fornes in looking back to Saturday's 55-13 stomping at the hands, feet and what-have-you of jjjjjj Howard Payne College in the jljiitj final Lone Star Conference tilt of the year for both squads. a lu a 11 the pass nterceptlons (five total) hurt us," added Fornes. "But that vasn't what beat us.

Their rushing and offensive hink they were just that much stronger physically than we were." Key City to have such fine youngsters. It's of prime importance for a coach to control his emotions and those of his players, students and even the fans to a certain extent. I have to admit to seeing a few coaches, especially in the highly emotional sport of basketball, lose i tempers and blame of.icials for setbacks. Before last Saturday night, I'd never seen one go as far as Clayton Brooks of South Garland did. He lost his cool and got into an argument with an official, drawing a pair of technicals and finally being told to leave the gym, That's when ho pulled his of; the court.

His actions came as sorta a surprise to me as I had felt Brooks, who had played at Abilene High and McMurry and coached at Lueders-Avoca, was the soft- spoken type coach. His act certainly didn't solve atvtti'ing. He cheated his own players out of an opportunity to win or lose the game on the court and the Eagles out of a bona fide decision. We all should remember the games are for the benefit of the kids and not the coaches and even the fans. For the first time this year Fornes instructed i quarterback Roger Martin to hrow from the old shotgun 'ormation-- one which they successfully faced two weeks ago at Shotwell Stadium against Tarleton State.

"We've had that in our offense all year," mused Fornes. "We lave jusl never used it at all so thought we could maybe do something even though we haven't worked on it a whole lot." Fornes did worked from 'ittle more last week because we say the Indians the shotgun "a JOE GILLESPIE hart rough game were afraid we might have to use it some." The Indian mentor said that Howard Payne, came out real strong, "and they showed il Yellow Jacket a quarterback Ronnie Colliflower was the man most responsible for the humiliation, and Fornes ACC Drills Get Serious It will be contact time again for Abilene Christian's footbali forces as they a "seriously for the Monday night encounter with MCMurry College's Indians. "We haven't had much contact the last few days," said head man Wally Bullington. "We've been working mostly on timing and conditioning. But things will change this week.

A McMurry game is upcoming." Cooper Coogs Hit the Road Wichita Falls Coyotes WICHITA A Cooper Cougars hit the'road for the first time Tuesday to test the Wichita Falls Coyotes in an 8 p.m. encounter. The Cougars split their first two stalls, beating South Garland, 62-46, and falling to Garland, 78-65. Meanwhile, the They also had too many Coyotes lost their opener to their turnovers. Mendenhall plans to city rivals, the Hirschi Huskies, by an 82-64 margin.

It was evident Cougars the wing. The other probable were too tight Saturday agains) Garland. As a result, they-fell behind early and then again at the start of the third period.

When asked what phases of the game he Wildcats were stressing, Bullington replied: "Offense, defense and the kicking game." It's no secret that the Wildcat boss thinks his troops must be ready in all phases ol the game.

1 freshman quarterback," said Fornes who admittedly also couldn't say enough about the young man. "He did a great job and I thought his execution was good. But other than that I thought his play selection and all was just brilliant." Fornes agreed there was no real turning point in the game so to speak. "I think from the beginning, when they took the ball and moved right down and scored, and gosh they just hooked it up again," he said. "You can kinda read the writing on the wall from that." Offensively, there weren't what one would classify any real bright spols, but Fornes did point out the fact that seniors Joe Gillespie and Lanny Joe Baker, both secondary men, put forth great efforts in a losing cause.

Gillespie was injured during the game, but returned to action with his ribs thoroughly taped Concerning Gillespie's ribs, Fornes commented, "I think it's just a bruise. Boy he got beat up." After returning to action, Gillespie was on the receiving end of Howard Payne kick anc was darn near shaken from the gravity of carlh by a bone- crushing tackle. "I thought they'd killed him on that," said Fornes. Ironically, it vas the Yellow Jacket who cemed to get the worst end of he final results. Gillespie came his feet and came off massisted while the Jacket just ay comparatively still for a ittle while.

Frustration might not be the word this year, since the year--and the first since the Mustangs were flattened, 43-0, second game of the season also the premier TD reception for Smith this year, and it came with three Howard Payne defenders completely encircling him. Smith somehow managed a tremendous catch grasping the aerial over his head.
