Name | | Street | | City & State I Back when he was a sopho more at Denison High, Phil Scog gin was a candidate for the quar terback position. “My coach, Charley Jackson, told me a quarterback should be able to run, pass and kick. Well, I couldn’t run or pass very well so I decided to learn to kick.” That he did learn to kick is evidenced by his current standing among Southwest Conference punters. His first help in punting came from Denison High assistant coach Bill Long, who had been a top flight punter for the Okla homa Aggies. Scoggin didn’t stay at quarter back. He wound up as a guard- linebacker but he still did the punting. When he was graduated he ac cepted a football scholarship at Murray Junior College in Tish omingo, Okla. He was a lineback er and punter there one year but after the fall semester he decided to transfer to Texas A&M. “I made the move on my own. I wanted a good education and knew I could get it at A&M. Too, I was interested in baseball and knew that A&M was a top flight baseball school.” Scoggin will get his degree in accounting in January but he never did see any action in base ball. “I just wasn’t good enough to make it.” Annually at Aggieland, the military corps and the civilian students clash in a football game called the “12th Man Bowl.” It usually is staged between Thanksgiving and Christmas. Back in the fall of 1963, Scoggin joined the corps for the annual battle and he boomed one punt that went slightly more than 80 yards. Some varsity football coaches were in the stands and that kick made them seek out Scoggin aft er the game to see if he might be interested in punting for the Ag gies. Last year he kicked 73 times for a 39.8 average. But he had two blocked and they were cost ly, against LSU and TCU. Against LSU in this year’s opener, he had another blocked. But, it simply was because the blocking broke down. Since that time the line had kept the foes out and Scoggin has been boom ing the ball downfield. “I have a lot of confidence in the line now,” he says. “I’m get ting good snaps and I don’t wor ry about someone breaking through the line.

UP) — Reports of an alleged secret drive by Louisiana State Univer sity alumni to get rid of foot ball Coach Charlie McClendon were squashed Tuesday by per sons in position to know. The reports, circulated here following back-to-back defeats of LSU’s team, asserted Mc Clendon would be fired and ei ther Darrell Royal of Texas or former professional quarterback Y. A. Tittle hired to succeed him. A New Orleans sportscaster, Hap Glaudi reported Gov. John McKeithen offered Royal a con tract to coach at LSU for 10 years and $1 million. An aide to MeKeithen, who currently is on a trade mission in Argentina, said the governor “is completely unaware of this” report. Tittle, from his home in Palo Alto, Calif., said he knew noth ing of the reports. LSU officials said they “won’t dignify” the reports by com menting. McClendon is in the first year of a five-year contract at an annual salary of $21,500. He be came head coach in 1962 when Paul Dietizel went to Army. FROM THE Siclelinei By Larry R. Jerden The big question among Aggie grid fans at the moment is who’s gonna start at quarterback against Rice Saturday. Only one man can made the decision, and at his weekly press conference Tuesday, he wasn’t saying. Aggie mentor Gene Stallings said, however, that the decision to start either Harry Ledbetter or Eddie McKaughan depended on their performances in practice this week. In comparing the two, he said: “Ledbetter has been progress ing well, is a fine leader and very competitive. He threw better in spring practice and this fall (than McKaughan), but of course Mc Kaughan threw better in the SMU game.” “McKaughan has more speed on the ground, but Ledbetter is a tougher rusher. Both the boys have been practicing at the posi tion, but Saturday was the first chance we’ve had to go with an other quarterback.” In the bad news department, Stallings gave word that Bill Sallee, the starting wingback, would be out for the Rice game and possibly for the Turkey Day affair. He suffered a thigh in jury in the SMU game, though it wasn't discovered till Sunday. Lloyd Curington may be back Saturday, but Stallings doesn’t want to rush him back into action too soon. He was runnihg in prac tice, but still seemed a little stiff. Line-up changes for this week include Tom Murrah to weak guard on offense, Bob Barnett to middle guard and Don Koehn to weak tackle. The coach’s idea of iootbal strategy is to win on the grouni, passing when necessary to com plement the ground game. “I hate to go into the garni with the idea of winning in tki air,” he said. “I try to move oi the ground. To throw and throi and throw . . . well, there’s notl- ing wrong with it, its just no! the way I believe.” Ground minded or not, the Ag gies are blessed with their most prolific receiver in history. Dude McLean now owns AO records for most passes in a gam (11), most yardage received im game (160), most passes caugkt in a season (46), most pass rt- ceiving yardage in a season (572) most passes caught in a care® (59) and most passing yards* caught in a career (696).
