THE BATTALION
AT KYLE FIELD
How To Hire Football Coaches
Tracksters Host Owls, Homs
In Triangular Meet Saturday
Three , Southwest Conference
track teams — Rice, Texas and
A&M — will open up their varsity
outdoor schedules here Saturday
afternoon with a triangular meet
at Kyle Field.
The Longhorns and Aggies are
expected to contest for first place
honors with Rice coming in third.
Field events will begin at 2 p.m.
and the races are scheduled for
2:.‘J0 p.m.
Several stars of last year’s out
door season and the state’s heaviest
indoor program of all time this
winter will vie for honors.
Double Winner Looms
Texas has Ray Cunningham, the
brilliant hurdler, who looms as a
double winner; Loy Gunter, who
won the mile run in last year’s
SWC freshman meet in 4:18.7;
John Cram, freshman meet broad
jump defending titlist at 24-1*4;
and a promising mile relay team
composed of Randy Curson, Jim
Cooper, Wayne Porter and football
great Ray Poage.
Cunningham skipped over the
120-yard high hurdles in 13.7 sec
onds and the 220-yard low hurdles
in 22.5 for wind-assisted firsts in
the conference varsity meet last
May.
Rice Coach Emmett Brunson
brings the school’s pole vault
record holder, Fred Hanson, who
in his last outing at the Dallas
Indoor Meet topped SMU’s great
Dexter Elkins.
Elkins-Hanson Clash
Both contestants vaulted 15-0%,
but Hanson had one less vault and
was awarded first place. Hanson
has gone as high as 15-2, best in
Rice history, and second best in
Southwest Conference annals.
Hanson is also the defending
conference broad jump champ,
leaping 24 feet, 614 inches in his
own pit at Houston last May.
Another strong entry among
Brunson’s 11-man squad is Dave
Edwards in the javelin. He has
a career-best heave of 218-5.
Coach Charlie Thomas will rely
on the field events, distance races
and relays in quest of victory.
Leg Injuries Again
Leg injuries—an Aggie plague
nil last season—has h’lt again and
Thomas’ three fastest sprinters
Will not run the dashes. They are
Pat Mitchell, Curtis Roberts and
Ed Williams.
The sensation in the indoor field
meet events, Danny Roberts, makes
his outdoor varsity debut owning
SWC freshman records in both the
shot and discus (53-9 and 156-
1014). He will be backed by a
couple of other strong Aggies,
Charlie Tieman in the shot and
Terry Robinson in the discus.
E. L. Ener, conference record
holder who led the Aggies to a
1961 cross country title, will team
with Turk Ilhan Bilgutay to form
a formidable duo in the two-mile
run. Thad Crooks in the mile run,
and Don Deaver in the high jump
are highly ranked in those events.
Dornak in Sprints
A&M s only experienced hand in
the sprints will be Gene Dornak,
who will join R. E. Merritt, Jerry
Anderson and George Tedford to
run the 440-yard relay. The Aggie
mile relay group will be composed
of Mitchell, Anderson, Merritt and
Tedford.
Froggie Lovvorn will be making
his outdoor debut as new Longhorn
coach. Clyde Littlefield is advisor
for Texas’ track program.

EDINBURG, Tex.—UP)—When
the time comes—as it inevitably
does to all high schools—to get a
new football coach, what must be
done?
There apparently isn’t any pat
tern, but Supt. Thomas S. Pickens
of Edinburg High School may have
set one.
Fred Akers, former backfield
coach at Port Arthur Thomas
Jay, Redlegs,
Coming To
Terms Soon
TAMPA, Fla.—(A 3 )—Pitcher Joey
Jay gave in a little Wednesday and
so did General Manager Bill De
witt of the Cincinnati Reds.
The results: Jay said he’d think
over the Cincinnati offer and de
cide by Friday if he wants to sign
up for 1962.
Jay, 21-game winner last sea
son, and Dewitt had a 35-minute
huddle Wednesday in which De
witt said he upped his salary
offer.
Jay said he would go along with
the club and not disclose the offer.
However, from Jay’s candid re
marks earlier, the best guess on
the new offer was about $25,000-
$26,000.
The Jay - Dewitt negotiations
reached a stalemate Tuesday.
Jay, part owner of several oil
wells in West Virgina, gave these
money figures to newsmen, how
ever:
Jay has been offered $22,500 for
1962 as compared with last year’s
salary of $15,000. He is holding
out, however, for $30,000 or may
be a bit more.
Jefferson, has been hired as ath
letic director and head football
coach at Edinburg. How Edinburg
and Akers got together is quite
a story.
The school board in this largest
district in area in the United States
decided it was time for a new
coach. Travis Cook had resigned
after a pretty dismal four years. |
Pickens, who is unique as a !
superintendent in that he pro
claims to know nothing about foot- j
ball or hiring a football coach, j
was asked by the school board to
find someone for the members to
interview.
So what did Pickens do ?
He wrote every college athletic
director and physical education de
partment head in Texas. In addi
tion he selected 30 high school
head coaches and wrote to them.
Pickens told them Edinburg
needed a coach. He asked them
to pass the information along to
their, own people or to their friends.
In sending out the letter, Pick
ens pointed out that he would not
release to news media the name
of any applicant.
The superintendent asked in
terested men to apply arid said the
board would review all the applica
tions.
The flood of answers made the
board good-naturedly admonish
Pickens. for the job he did. He
got the volunteer board members
more work than it wanted to do.
The board began to narrow the
field further. But it had trouble.
It had too many good men.
Finnaly, however, the board
found the man it wanted. All
seven members agreed indep-
dently that Akers was the mat,
He was offered a three-year con
tract at $8,000 a year and took it

The board screened some 70
applications, board narrowed the
list to 14 men and asked them for
personal interviews in executive
sessions.
Pickens told applicants the board
would work with the new coach on
staff matters he considered essen
tial to the best possible program.
He also told them no previous com
mitment had been made to anyone
and that the salary necessarily
was limited but no limit had been
set.
