S-C Grid Coach At Rotary Charles Shelton, football coach of the Smith-Cotton Tigers, outlined a program which should result in producing a winning football team for Sedalia, to members of the Sedalia Rotary Gub at the Monday noon meeting of that group at Hotel Bothwell. This is first year at Smith-Cotton. He came here from Nevada, where he had achieved an outstanding record as coach of the Nevada High School team. To accomplish a winning team, we need to have a winning tradition. Coach Shelton stated.

This the Sedalia community has, for back in the fifties under Coach Dow the Smith-Cotton Tigers was one of the best teams in the state and one of the most talked about teams. So, Shelton suggested, we need to bring out our tradition and re-acquaint our community with it. Next, according to Shelton, the coach and the citizens of the community need to instill pride in the team, and you do this by being genuinely proud of the members of the team for the winning effort they put forth and this in turn rubs off on team members and they become proud to be a member of a hustling team. Another point in the program, according to Coach Shelton, is the achievement of teamwork with all team members following the direction of the coaching staff. Shelton complimented the Tigers on the game they played Friday, but he pointed out that he was a coach who wanted to win, just as the team members wanted to win, and the will to win was the force which keeps him in football.

Coach Shelton stated, had yet to hear a satisfying definition of a moral victory." He concluded his remarks by stating that, is ready for a winning team, and it can have a winning team by continuing to give its support at every game." The speaker was introduced by James Grieshaber, September program chairman. J. 0. Latimer, chairman of the project committee, announced the goal for the Travelogue Series of six producer narrated films to be shown at Smith-Cotton High School under Rotary sponsorship beginning Tuesday evening, ()ct. 17.
