Family Campers Increased So Rapidly Many Gave Up By VERN SANFORD Texas Press Association Family campers during 1962 in creased so rapidly many of them gave up in disgust because they could find no place to pitch their tents. This was true not only in Texas, but across the nation and in Mexico and Canada. According to figures recently re leased by the director of national parks, camp-use days in 1962 were recorded at 6,106,030. This is an increase of 14 per cent over the previous year. THIS YEAR the peak will go higher. To date, very few landowners have found a way to take advan tage of this new economy. Some don’t even want to fool with campers. Most of the state parks, national forest areas and other public lands have provided camp grounds and camp sites. These places usually provide adequate water, cook-out spots and sanitary facilities to make camping easier. While there is a craze for primi tive camping, most of the campers demand some degree of comfort and convenience. They want to get back to nature, but they want to do it the comfortable wav. THEY SLEEP in their station wagons, or on soft rubber mat tresses on good quality cots. They want plenty of wood and water handy. Some even cook with elec tricity from outlets provided in the public camping areas.

Summer vacation periods with camp-out trips by the Boy Scouts and other organizations also help the cause. Most of the time it’s just that Mom and Dad have a desire to give their youngsters some of the camp ing thrills they enjoyed as children before things got as crowded as they are now. In Texas it would be a good project for some civic organization to try to develop camp sites. Land- owbers could be contacted and sold on the idea of adding such a pro gram to their economy. A land- owner with a good water hole, ac cessible lake or stream and a wooded area might find it profit able to furnish camping facilities. GARNER STATE Park is a typical example of the manner in which people will use available facilities. It is practically impos sible to get into this park now unless you’ve made a reservation well in advance. Hundreds of per sons pitch camp there every sum mer to enjoy the park facilities. Landowners soon discover they can make more money than just the per day camping fee. With a con cession they can sell food and drinks—also at a profit. The con cession business in most of the public areas is a paying proposi tion. It can be profitable to land- owners too. COACH NORTON’S PANCAKE HOUSE 35 varieties of finest pancakes, aged heavy KC steaks, shrimp, and other fine foods. Daily—Merchants lunch 11 to 2 p. m. Pride By HAROLD V. RATLIFF Associated Press Sports Writer Pride is the basic element of winning football, says Darrell Royal—pride and desire. Royal had both and he not only be came quite a football player but quite a coach. How he did it and why he has developed many others along the same line is revealed in an en grossing book “Darrell Royal Talks Football ’ that is just off the Prentice-Hall press. In it Royal, the personable coach of the University of Texas, explains his methods, his ever- searching desire for simplicity in the execution of plays and the Is Basic Element, Says psychology of the game. This literary effort should bring a new trend in books by coaches. It deals with the so- called intricacies of football in simple language tinged with humor. It illustrates the points with something personal It makes the game of football understood by all. Royal says, like all coaches, that it’s not the formation that makes winning football—it’s the young men who carry out the assignments that have to do with advancing the hall and keeping the other side from advancing it, and that the main objective is to get them to play every Saturday as if they were planting the flag on Iwo Jima. They can use any formation if they have ability and the desire. But there has to be someone who tells them what their assign ments are and how they are to be carried out. And he has to make it simple and direct, get rid of confusion that comes from too many plays and a complicated signal system. “If a player is the least bit confused, he can’t be aggressive,” reasons Royal. “If he has to strain and listen to tell exactly when he is to take the first step, then he can’t be concentrating on those individual guys on the other side of the line of scrim mage.” Royal reveals that he created the flip-flop offense that brought Texas fame in 1961 because he wanted Jim Saxton, his All- America back, to caivy the ball and not be burdened with block ing and playing defense. Saxton wasn’t durable enough in the first place, Royal mused, and besides this constant scoring threat should be used to the best advantage. The flip-flop brought sim plicity to the Texas attack—the blocking* assignments were cut in half, were easy to leai*n and the plays were so few and simple there never was a chance >f c; fusion. Royal says the main i do in football is to win so a must not worry about wtat the offense is spectacular pleases the crowd or whetkl gets the job done. That'; Royal leans toward the Jefc which he says has more sc® potential than the offense, He also doesn’t care fon forward pass as a majortj]*| offense. “Three things can happen you when you throw the Ub two of them are bad," hen marizes.
