Still No Word On New Aggie Coach
Despite Jim Myers’ Choice of Staff
Meadowlark Lemon
The Clown Prince of the Harlem Globetrotters is Meadow
lark Lemon, who succeeds Goose Tatum as the Trotter
pivot man. The zany comedians of the court will play the
Philadelphia Sphas on January 13, next Monday night in

By GARY ROLLINS
Battalion Sports Editor
As cagey and quiet as an Aggie
in a girls’ dormitory after “lights
out,” Iowa State’s young coach,
Jim Myers, refuses to elaborate on
his possible selection as A&M’s re
placement for Paul (Bear) Bryant,
who vacated the athletic director
ship and head coaching job to re
turn to his first love and alma
mater—Alabama.
| Rumors continue to fly, but no
official announcement comes either
If from Texas A&M or Jim Myers.
The likable 36-year-old mentor
from Ames, Iowa did go so far as
to name his staff—'Should he be
chosen for the job —but the final
approval lies with the A&M board
of directors, who won’t get a chance
to convene until this weekend.
Before Texas A&M can hire
Myers as the new head coach,
the selection committee will have
to make its recommendations to the
entiie Board of Directors; and
they in turn will place the seal of
approval on the selection.
All indications point to Myers as
the new Aggie mentor; even more
strongly than with Daugherty,
Sanders or Leahy, for the athletic
council was as impressed with
Myers as Myers was with the
athletic council and Texas A&M.
If there ever was “love at first
sight,” it would have to be when
these two factions met.
Anyway, due to protocol and
endless streams of crimson tape,
the announcement of the approval
of Jim Myers as head coach will not
come until Monday, regardless of
the speculation of many that A&M

Convocations Committee
is on the verge of making the an
nouncement.
The man who will, in all pro
bability, replace Paul (Bear) Bry
ant is definitely one of the “young-
but promising” coaches that will
be required to keep A&M na
tionally ranked as a football power.
The Aggie offense will probably
undergo somewhat of a change, as
Myers is a graduate of Tennessee
(single-wing) and has served under
wing) for the past nine years.
Henry “Red” Sander's (also single-
In his first year at Iowa State,
his single-wing Cyclones didn’t set
any national scoring records, post
ing a so-so 4-5-1 record, but rival
coaches in the Big Eight were
quick to praise Myers and recog
nize him as one of the nation’s
bright, young coaches.
He did a pretty remarkable job
at Iowa State in his one year as
head coach. In an almost-hopeless
situation, he took over a rag-knot
squad that had finished with a
2-8 season the year before and lost
several players by graduation.
Somehow or other he maneuvered
them to a 4-5-1 record, beating
Denver, Kansas, Nebraska, South
Dakota and tying Syracuse. The
losses were to Oklahoma, Missouri,
Kansas State, Colorado and Drake.
Texas A&M isn’t the first school
to approach Myers, because Texas
and Arkansas beat them to the job.
Chances are, he’d have been chosen
if they hadn’t hired their present
coaches.
Although there is still not any
thing definite, the sandy-haired
coach has already named his staff
—just in case he is offered the
job—he is going to keep J. T. King
and Willie Zapalac of the former
Aggie staff and add four members
of his Iowa State crew: Lei’oy
Pierce, 31-year-old former Tennes
see player; Russ Faulkinberry, 29,
from Vanderbilt, and two men who
played under Myers when he was

Aggie Soccer Team
Joins Association
The Soccer Team will begin a
series of games Sunday with the
Houston Soccer Association that
may lead to a state championship
for the Aggies later in the spring.
The newly-formed Association will
send the v/inner of a 24^game eli
mination into a state-wide playoff
with the winners from the San
Antonio and Dallas associations.
The top team in this playoff will
be named State Champion by the
Texas Amateur Athletic Federa
tion.
A&M’s first game will be played
Sunday at 2:30, on the soccer field
across from Anchor Hall, against
the Spurs.

assistant at UCLA—Rudy Feld
man, 26 and Doug Bradley, 23.
Pierce was one of Bowden
Wyatt’s assistants when Arkansas
won the 1954 championship, and he
went with Wyatt to Tennessee. But
when Myers got the Iowa State job,
he cast his lot with him, and
moved to Iowa.
Pierce is end and wingback
coach at Iowa State; Faulkinberry
and Feldman work with the line
and Bradley helps with coaching
the backs.
Incidentally, the 1955 Aggies
played against Bradley in the
Coliseum in the season opener in
which the UCLA Bruins eased by
the Cadets, 21-0.
Should A&M hire Jim Myers,
they would perform a beautiful bit
of banditry from the state where
football players are corn-fed. He’s
really popular up there, and they
aren’t too happy about losing him.
When he was visiting at Ark
ansas concerning the vacancy left
by Jack Mitchell, the Iowa State
alumni and students sent letters
and signed petitions asking him to
stay at Iowa State—which he did.
The school was so jubilant at his
being permitted to stay, they gave
him a $2,000 raise and tore up his
three-year contract to award him

Coach Paul Brown drilled his
South squad on the long pass yes
terday in preparation for the ninth
annual Senior Bowl football game
Saturday.
By coincidence, North Coach Joe
Kuharich opened his afternoon

defense against long tosses.
Brown, coach of the Cleveland
Browns, had his quarterbacks,
George Walker of Arkansas and
Ray Brown of Mississippi, throw
ing repeatedly to the ends and
backs on -wide formations.
a five-year contract. They did it
all voluntarily; he asked for noth
ing.
However, Texas can offer him
steaks — relieving him of the
starchy corn diet, and can match
his $16,000 salary, five-year con
tract and toss in a TV contract and
other “fringe benefits” to boot.
The young coach from the Hawk-
eye state visited Aggieland last
week and found the surroundings
much to his liking. The material at
hand and the new athletic dormi
tory impressed him very much.
One other thing, co-education is
sues don’t seem to bother him too
much. Besides having a pretty wife
named Carolyn, he also has 3
daughters, aged 11, 8 and 3.
As of last night, Myers was
definitely ready to accept thE job
and indicated he believed he would
be recommended as head football
coach and athletic director on the
Board’s meeting next Monday.
After his graduation from Ten
nessee in 1947, he joined Red
Sanders at Vanderbilt as an as
sistant coach.
When Sanders moved to UCLA
after the 1948 season, Myers went
with him and became a key man in

the production of the great ma
chines Sanders built on the West
Coast.
While at UCLA, Myers was first
assistant to Sanders and handled
public relations for the teams that
frequented the Rose Bowl.
Local sportswriters speak in
nothing but lofty praises for the
West Virginian that might be the
next Aggie coach. He’s had the
“can’t miss” tag almost from the
day he entered the coaching pro
fession.
It looks like Texas A&M is going
to hire a fine replacement in Jim
Myers next Monday—they won’t
admit it now, but Dr. M. T. Har
rington stated simply “He’s got the
inside track,” which must mean
he’s on his way to College Station.
The Athletic Council likes him.
The athletic committee of the
Board of Directors likes him.
The final word lies with the
amiable Board of Directors.
It takes two to
fill the bill
