‘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-
