Last-Minute Notes
As Summer Ends
Gibson Appointed To Post Of
Athletic Academic Supervisor
By JERRY GRISHAM
Battalion Sports Editor
Summer school is just ending- and the fall semester
is over three weeks away, but football fever has already
struck the campus at A&M. Impromptu yell practices and
sigrns proclaiming - the fate awaiting- the SMU Mustangs on
Sept. 16 have set the tone for the last few weeks. The fever
will undoubtedly be of epidemic proportions by the time the
first game rolls around.
After a decade of being on the wagon, so to speak, as
far as winning football games are concerned, Aggies are
off on a real binge of optimism. To be considered a con
tender for the conference crown this year has proven too
much for most Aggies to take calmly.
Aggies received a surprise upon reading the Sept, issue
of “Playboy.” The magazine's annual pigskin prevew picked
A&M as No. 16 in the nation and second in the SWC.
Date tickets for the A&M-SMU football game here
Sept. 16 will go on sale Sept. 1 at the G. Rollie White Coli
seum ticket office. Aggies can buy date tickets for $4 from
Sept. 1 until 4 p.m. Friday, Sept. 15. A&M student identifi-
caton cards will be needed to make date ticket purchases.
The following week, Sept. 18-22, will be the only time that
Aggies can purchase $4 date tickets for the other three
Kyle Field games (Florida State, Baylor and Texas).
The national televising of the Aggie-SMU game has
hampered the sale of tickets to the game. The ticket office
at the Coliseum reports there are plenty of good seats left,
many as far up as the 30-yard-line. A filled stadium on
national television combined with a victory over SMU would
be the best possible way to start the '67 season.
ELECTRICIANS ADD FINAL TOUCH
Prep School Practice Begins
The Thanksgiving Day game this year is already sold
out. As it stands at the present time there won’t be a
single ticket sold at the ticket windows on the day of the
game.
The last of the Kyle Field lights went up last Saturday.
If anyone is wondering why they were put up so quickly,
it is because of the SMU game. The American Broadcast
ing System has contracted to broadcast the day game in
color and color television requires plenty of light. A cloudy
day could drop the light level below that needed; therefore
the lights have to be ready in case more light is needed.
Felix (Hoot) Gibson, principal
of Crockett Junior High in Paris,
Tex., the past four years, has
been named athletic academic su
pervisor at Texas A&M Univer
sity, Athletic Director Barlow Ir
vin has announced.
Gibson, with a wide background
in athletics, academics and coun
selling, will assume his new du
ties Sept. 1, succeeding A. E.
(Buddy) Denton who has resigned
to become academic counselor at
A&M Consolidated High School
in College Station.
Gibson was born in Haines-
ville, Tex., but grew up in Paris
where he was an outstanding
athlete and leader at Paris High.
Later he served as B-team foot
ball coach, head basketball coach
and assistant principal at Paris
High and was executive director
of the Boys Club of Paris.
For his excellent service in
Boys Club work, school adminis
tration, Church of Christ and Op
timist Club, Gibson was named
Outstanding Young Man of the
Year in 1956 by the Paris Jaycees.
The new Aggie staff member,
who will be 42 next Sept. 7, is
married to the former Laura Jean
Bell of Paris. They have two
sons; Bill, 20, who will be a jun
ior at Texas A&M this fall and
Chuck, 16, who will be a junior
at A&M Consolidated High.
Gibson’s budding athletic career
was cut short by injury during
his first collegiate season. He
had won a starting halfback slot
on Texas Tech’s 1944 team but
broke a collarbone in the season’s
opener. It was nothing new,
however, since he had had the
collarbone broken five times in
high school.
But, after the injury, he moved
to Paris Junior College and after
graduating there he went to East
Texas State where he attained a
bachelor’s degree in physical edu
cation and a master's degree in
administrative education.
At Paris High, Gibson was a
three-sport athlete, competing in
football, basketball and track.

High school football drills got
underway this week for the 48th
Interscholastic League season.
Football legions from the Pan
handle to the Gulf and from East
Texas to jackrabbit country out
west will be hitting the practice
field.
About 50,000 boys will be pre
paring for the Sept. 8 kickoff of
the season for all classes.
Classes AAA, AA and A got
going last week; Classes B, Six
Man and Eight Man started fall
practice Monday.
The 995 teams throughout the
state make it the largest football
campaign in Texas football his
tory.
As the teams line up for the
start, San Antonio MacArthur and
Garland look like the big guns
in Class AAAA. Dumas, Brown-
wood and Bay City are the top
choices in AAA and Iowa Park,
Granbury and Bellville carry the
weight in Class AA. Defending
champion Sonora and George
West seem to be the top two of
Class A.
The first games are Sept. 8
and some interesting games high
light the first week’s action.
Wichita Falls, trying for a sixth
title, meets a strong Abilene Coop
er team and highly rated Odessa
Perminan squad takes on Amaril
lo Tascosa.
Brownwood challenges Cleburne
and Garland goes up against Dal
las Samuell.
Some teams don’t get underway
until the next day Sept. 9.
