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.

Royal-LSU Link Rumors
Discounted In Louisiana
NEW ORLEANS, La. 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
