THE BATTALION Friday, December 4, 1964 College Station, Texas Page 5 ‘Winning Is The Only Thing’ SMU Goes From Top To Bottom Aggie Soccer Team To Host Houston The University of Houston soc cer team invades Aggieland Satur day for a 2 p.m. game. The Aggies although hampered by small injuries feel that they will be ready for the game. Houston will be seeking revenge, as they have never beaten the Ca dets. By HAROLD RATLIFF Associated Press Sports Writer It’s wonderful to have a win ning football team. Red Sanders, the late coach of UCLA, said “Winning isn’t everything; it is the only thing.” But the reaction from falling off the pedestal and trying to fight your way back sometimes is worse than having never been there at all. In the late forties Southern Methodist rode high with golden boy Doak Walker, the mighty Kyle Rote and others who made statistics on the field and records in the stands. There was a year when SMU drew almost a half-million fans. The athletic department made so much money it gave a sizable chunk to the fine arts department. But the descent started in 1950 and reached the absolute low in 1962 when the average was 21,- 000 fans per game. There had to be cutbacks in other sports. Hayden Fry came along to win four games in 1963 and bring the average up to 34,718. Included was an upset of Navy and some good games that were lost but with a flourish. It seemed SMU was at last on the way back. Prospects for 1964 were excel lent. Some writers thought SMU would make it to the first divi sion of the Southwest Conference, maybe even fight for the title. But a lot of things happened to ruin SMU’s hopes. First the school was put on probation for recruiting violations. There was chagrin and humiliation but this didn’t seem likely to damage any ability on the field of play. That, though, was taken care of in other ways. John Roderick, the speedy young man who ran Navy into defeat, became scholastically in eligible. Mac White, a top quar terback, had to forego football because of a ruptured disc. Larry Jernigan, who might have been the best tailback in the confer ence, got acute arthritis and couldn’t play a down. Tom Hillary, a fine end, signed a professional baseball contract. David Wilson, an excellent line backer, dropped out of school to work. Buddy Miller chose to graduate rather than take his last year of eligibility. In the first game Danny Thom as, a senior quarterback, injured his knee. He played all season virtually on one leg. Donnie Oefinger, a sophomore, stepped in at quarterback and was doing a fine job when he got a broken jaw in the third game of the season—the only game SMU won. He didn’t get back until five games later. Southern Methodist lost and lost. Frustration and humiliation hit simultaneously when the Methodists took a 44-0 licking from Arkansas. But there was no clamor to fire the coach—something that would have been evident no more than three years ago. The fans and alumni, for once at least, were understanding. They didn’t go out much to see the games because they didn’t want to watch the Mustang’s lose. But they didn’t criticize the coach or the school for its trou bles. Fry was probably a little amazed but he certainly felt bet ter about the situation. “The peo ple have been wonderful,” he said. “There’s a different attitude in football these days anyway.” Fry could even get a little en thusiastic about next year’s pros pects with one of the finest fresh man teams coming up. And he’s hopeful that some of those good football players lost by injury and scholastic trouble will be back. “We could have a good team,” he said. Losing has hurt Fry more than the fans and alumni but he has found that losing isn’t so bad if the people understand and are willing to make allowances. One thing that brought this about came from the fact that Fry and his Mustangs didn’t quit. They tried just as hard whether the score was 44-0 or 16-13- !
