NO EXTRA PURCHASE REQUIRED High School Football Slates 45th Season BY HAROLD Y. RATLIFF Associated Press Sports Writer In just five weeks there will be gin the longest march in football. This is the Texas Interscholastic League, largest organization of its kind in the world. Practice starts Aug. 17 with all except one class swinging into ac tion. Class AAAA, the top divi sion—the only one that has spring football—is not permitted to begin fall practice until Aug. 28. The difference is because AAAA gets 21 days of practice that Classes AAA, AA, A, B. Six-Man and Eight-Man do not have. It will be the 45th campaign. Most of the coaches today were not even born when the first race —in 1920—was held. For four months the campaign will rage from Panhandle to Gulf, from El Paso in the far west to Texarkana in the far east. There will be 946 schools play ing the game this year. That is the all-time high. There were 936 last year. Showing the intensity of com petition and attesting to the diffi culty of a team going through a season unbeaten and untied, there’ll be only one boasting this accom plishment. The longest winning streak is held by Corsicana, Class AAA state champion, which is 14-0. They are doubtful that Corsi cana can maintain this record for another season. In the first place, Corsicana has to move up to Class AAAA this year. It was caused by the school exceeding the enroll ment of 975 by 32 students. In the second place, Corsicana lost heavily in experienced play ers. There are only four offensive starters back and fewer than that of defensive hands. The second longest winning streak is held by Rockwall, the Class AA champion, which is 13-0. Rockwall has 15 members of the squad that beat John Foster Dulles 7-6 for the title on hand to start fall practice. These include the brilliant Marc Noel, who caught a touchdown pass with 23 seconds to go to defeat Dulles. The Class AAAA champion was Garland, which has a 12-game win ning streak. Garland was unbeat en but was tied in its second game of the 1963 season by Dallas Bry an Adams. Garland should repeat with the championship. Even Coach Chuck Curtis admitted that his team won the title a year ahead of schedule. There are 25 members of the 1963 squad including 13 lettermen re turning. Petersburg was the Class A champion and it had a 14-0-1 rec ord. However, it has only a six- game streak going for it. Peters burg was tied late in the district race. But it appears capable of keeping a clean slate most of the way in 1964. However, George West, the team Petersburg beat for the title, looks even stronger since it has that great runner, Steve Lane, back to lead a veteran crew. It would appear that Garland and Rockwall should repeat with championships but Corsicana and Petersburg may have to get some fortunate bounces of the ball to make it. Not since 1956 has a team in Class AAAA repeated with the championship. Class AAA has gone only one year without a re peater, Class AA two years and Class A five years. Abilene has won the most state championships of any school in the 45 years of the League race with six. Waco is second with five and one tie and Wichita Falls is next with five. Breckenridge has four and two ties. It is doubtful that there will be a change in the leadership situa tion this year. Abilene, Waco and Wichita Falls quit winning them when more than one high school started dividing the football play ers up in each city. Breckenridge doesn’t have this difficulty to con tend with but Breckenridge has been in the football doldrums for four years. U. M. ALEXANDER ’40 221 S.
