cause of the large crowds.
One difference from the past
will show up this year: Class B,
the small town schools, will have
four teams, instead of six.
Two of the big city Class
AAAA teams, Spring Branch
Memorial and San Antonio
Wheatley, are undefeated, and
the total won-lost record of the
AAAA teams is 127-4.
Houston Wheatley, which was
undefeated last year in winning
the AAAA title, is 24-2, including
a 67-64 loss to Memorial, which
has a 41-0 record.
San Antonio Wheatley, 30-0
this year and carrying a 53-game
winning streak, will play Hous
ton Wheatley in the AAAA open
er Friday afternoon, and Memor
ial will meet Odessa, 32-2, Friday
night.
“It would have been a crying
shame if we had to play each
other first,” said Memorial coach
Don Coleman.
“That’s a game that should be
saved for the finals, if we can
both win opening games,” said
GB Elevates Bengtson To Top Spot
GREEN BAY, Wis. (A*)—Phil
iengtson was named the top man
n the Green Bay Packer organi-
ation Wednesday, but the Vince
,ombardi image remains.
Bengtson, who was named
:oach of the National Football
league team last year, was se
eded general manager Wednes-
lay, a dual role that Lombardi
mce had but said was too much
or one man to handle.
“Mr. Bengtson’s responsibilities
be the same as those which were
bven Mr. Lombardi when he
served in this capacity,” Dominic
Olejniczak, president of the
Packers, said in announcing the
appointment.
“This is in line with the policy
recommended by the executive
committee and approved by the
board of directors 10 years ago.”
It was 10 years ago that Lom
bardi was hired as coach and gen
eral manager. In his nine-year
reign as head coach, his Packers
captured six Western Division
titles, five NFL crows and the
first two Super Bowl champion
ships.
Lombardi resigned as Packer
general manager last month to
become head coach, executive
vice president and part-owner of
the Washington Redskins.
we can to make our Green Bay
Packers a winning football team.”
Bengtson was the first assist
ant hired by Lombardi when he
came to Green Bay in 1959. Lom
bardi also had personally picked
the University of Minnesota
graduate to succeed him as coach.
Olejniczak said Bengtson’s dual
position would be for the remain
der of his present contract, which
runs until Feb. 1, 1971.
“In accepting the position of
general manager,” Bengtson said,
“I want to emphasize that I am
doing it in order to do everything
The Packer president praised
Lombardi’s organizational talents
Wednesday. He said that al
though the Packers have been
without a general manager for a
month, the entire organization
has continued to run smoothly
“and with no backlog of work
accumulated.”

Houston Wheatley coach Collin
Briggs.
Defending champions returning
this year, besides Wheatley and
Memorial which won in 1966, are
West Sabine Pineland in Class A
and Snook in B. West Sabine won
titles in 1963 and 1965. Snook
won in 1965 and 1966.
Ten teams have never been to
the state tournament before:
Brookeland and Huckaby of Ste-
phenville in B; Clarendon and De
troit in A; Fort Worth Kirkpat
rick, Hearne and Klein of Spring
in AA; Kerrville and Perryton in
AAA; and San Antonio Wheatley
in AAAA.
Although Wheatley was unde
feated last year, it was ineligible
for district honors.
Corsicana, which finally crack
ed Waxahachie’s longtime district
domination, is ending the longest
absence from the tournament—
33 years.
The highest scorer in the meet
is Tommy Jones of Class AA
Crane. Jones, a 6-foot senior
guard, has averaged 42 points a
game this season.
Cincinnati pitchers set a Na
tional League record last season
by completing only 24 games.
Larry Geracioti, New York
University baseball coach, earned
letters in football and track at
Missouri State Teachers College.

Early this morning upwards of 20,000 schoolboy
basketball fans converged upon Austin where the champion
ships of five high school classes will be decided from among a
20-school field.
The tragedy of the situation, however, is that over half
of these fans will never see their hometown teams perform.
The city of Austin simply lacks the proper housing, dining or
playing facilities needed to host a tournament the size of the
one in question.
The problem reached epidemic proportions last year
when the Class AAAA championship game was completely
sold out early Thursday morning, the day the tournament
started. This was for a game that was played Saturday
afternoon and for a game in which the competing teams were
not chosen until Friday night.
Instead of employing the obvious solution of moving
the tournament to a city such as Houston, Dallas or
Lubbock, however, the University Interscholastic League
continues to ignore the problem while attempting to wish it
away.
Each of the three towns mentioned above have gym
facilities which dwarf those in Austin. Dallas’s Moody
Coliseum seats 8,900, Lubbock’s Municipal Coliseum seats
10,000 and the Astrodome in Houston holds 50,000.
Gregory Gym in Austin, meanwhile, is the most rundown,
dilapidated facility in the Southwest Conference and barely
seats 7,800.
Dr. Rhea Williams, state athletic director of the UIL,
claims that the meet is kept in Austin because it is the nearest
possible site to the center of the state.
This seems to be a very weak point on at least two
counts. First, in this age of fast, safe and convenient
transportation the location of the tournament would seem to
be of little importance. Secondly, over 3,000 fans were
turned away at the doors last year which points up the
critical nature of the seating problem above all others.
It would seem obvious that a fan would rather travel
300 miles and be assured of a seat than travel 150 miles
without even seeing his team in action.
Don Coleman, head basketball coach of the Memorial
Mustangs, has taken four teams to the state tournament and
calls the conditions “terrible.”
“It’s a shame that all the people who want to see the
state meet can’t see it when there are several arenas in the
state that could adequately house it. . . Many people don’t
even try to come to Austin because they can’t get motel
space or a ticket to the tourney,” Coleman was quoted as
saying last year.
It is an embarassment to the entire state of Texas that a
problem with such a simple and practical solution remains
unsolved.
Ag Car Club
Sets Meeting
The regular meeting of the
Texas A&M Sports Car Club is
set for 7:30 tonight in room 107
of the Military Science Building.
The business session will feature
a discussion of the two-day rally
scheduled for May and finaliza
tion of plans for Dick Martin’s
“gimick rally” March 15.
The club used the Hearne Air
port for a combined autocross
and drivers school on February
22. The autocross circuit was
tight and short as set up by
eventmaster Dick Goss. The driv
ing school portion of the event
consisted of a short straight, a
high speed curve, a 180 degree
turn, back through the high speed
turn and over the Starting line.
The course was about % mile
long around two 45 degree turns
in the taxiway. Best time for the
combined event was turned in by
George Eby in his Lotus Elan.
Second and third was grabbed
by Bill Kanne in his Porsche
911L and George Martin in r
Sprite.
The Sports Car Club invite!
anyone interested in any phase
of sports car activities to attend
the meeting tonight. Visitors are
recognized and welcomed by all
members, and tonight’s program
(which consists of filmed high
lights of recent club activities) is
aimed at giving the guest an idea
of what the club is all about. If
you have any questions to ask
about the club please call any of
the following people; Alan Weck-
erling — 845-3005, Mike Bozart
