Coach Stallings
Says About ’67
Spring Drills..
“We accomplished a number of
things but we have some problems
to solve before we’re a solid foot
ball team . . .”
“We lack both experience and
depth in the offensive line and
we lack experience in the defen
sive secondary . . .”
“Conditioning and effort were
the most pleasing aspects of
spring training . . .”
“We don’t out-personnel our
opponents so we’ll have to rely on
conditioning, determination and
effort . . .”
