Strange things have been happening in athletics lately especially in
basketball and football. The most noteworthy being the fact that
Randy Knowles didn’t make first team All-Southwest Conference in the
recent Dallas Morning News basketball poll.
It’s also strange that Mario Brown and Mike Floyd weren’t even
mentioned on the second team.
The first teamers named were SMLTs Ira Terrell and Sammy
Hervey. Tech placed Ron Richardson and Richard Little. Arkansas
placed Martin Terry.
The two names one must question on the basis of play are Little
and Richardson. Richardson especially. The only answer is that Tech
won the conference and should place members on the elite unit.
If that is true, why were Terrell and Hervey picked? SMU finished
the season with a lackluster 7-7 record and lost six of the last seven
games after beating A&M in a brawl at Dallas. The Mustangs were a firm
pick for the championship crown after tying for it last year and
replacing its two lost players with All-America performers Terrell and
Hervey.
Where does that leave Knowles? He finished the conference season
scoring at a 19.1 clip plus grabbing 9.7 rebounds a game. That put him
fifth in scoring and third in rebounding. He outscored Terrell,
outrebounded Hervey, outrebounded Terry and outdid Richardson and
Little in both categories. You can’t blame his team’s play. It finished in
a second place tie with Arkansas and gave champion Tech one of its
two losses and that was in Lubbock.
Then you’ve got Brown and Floyd. Brown, although having his ups
and downs this season, was definitely one of the most exciting players
in the conference and finished the year scoring at a 14.9 clip. His
performance should have been good for at least a second team berth.
Now look at Floyd. By the end of the season, the sophomore
standout was far and away the best guard, with the exception of Terry,
in the conference. Only Terry’s scoring kept the spotlight away from
Floyd. Opponents and fans were in awe of his uncanny ability to stick
the ball in the hole from anywhere on the court. He usually took the
hard road, taking in where the big men live even though he had an
adept touch from outside.
He hit 13.6 points per game and played tremendous defense. He is
a true competitor and is the top prospect to land as one of A&M
co-captains next year along with Knowles. Having a junior with as much
leadership potential as Floyd comes very infrequently.
Maybe other polls will be a little less anti-Aggie and give these
performers the credit they deserve.
Another puzzling thing is the reform being sought by Texas
Longhorn coach Darrell Royal of late. He has come out and offered to
donate $5,000 to help the NCAA check the recruiting practice of
member schools.
Many articles have been distributed quoting Royal that recruiting
violations are the worst they have ever been and he wants them
stopped.
It looks like sour grapes to me. He and his staff did not sign one
single Texas Bluechipper and overall did not have a very good year
enrolling new football giants.
It seems becuase of this that he feels all the other coaches are
“buying off’ the prospects he wants to enroll at the University
of Texas.
A few years ago, my high school days, any normal red-blooded
Texas football player would give up his stolen football jersey to play
for “The University”. That’s the way they recruited. They would let
you play for them if you were good enough. That’s all it took to get a
high school prospect to Austin and it has paid off abundantly the past
five years.
Now things have changed. The Texas coaching staff has to fight for
prospects. There are more and better coaches circulating around trying
to enroll athletes in their programs. These schools and coaches are no
longer a joke and the programs they are selling aren’t a loser.
Back in the old days, 1969 high school graduates remember, if you
were recruited by Baylor or Rice you must not have been very good.
Look at those schools now. They have put resources into their
programs and have gotten results.
All schools have better football teams than they had a few years
ago but the Longhorn coaching staff thinks no school can compare with
its program.
It hasn’t lately but things look to be changing to where Texas
won’t be winning the conference football championship five more times
in a row.
Darrell, you’re gonna have to fight like the rest of your coaching
fraternity brothers to get the top players. They’re not going to come
automatically like they once did. So, save your money and quit
dreaming. Other teams want those good players and are going to do
everything they can to get them. There is no more under-the-table
money being flashed here than there is in Austin.

THE BAIT
‘You Can’t Fight City Hall,’ Gang
Two Assistants Fired At SMl
Southern Methodist assistant
basketball coaches Neal Kinlund
and Mike Pinkham were fired
Wednesday but Mustang head
coach Bob Prewitt was given a
one-year contract in the wake
of a turbulent season that saw
the pre-season Southwest Con
ference favorites sink to a 7-7
record.
Pinkham told The Associated
Press, “It’s an injustice. I’m a
disciplinarian and I tried to dis
cipline the kids and he (Prewitt)
didn’t. I can’t see kids getting
by with things.
“Three kids were out drunk
before the second Arkansas game
with girls and I caught them. I
don’t think you can win doing
things like that. I don’t think
the players should have been al
lowed to play.”
A statement from the SMU
faculty committee on athletics
read: “Since the end of the bas
ketball season at SMU there has
been a careful re-evaluation of
the entire cage program carried
on by the faculty committee on
athletics with the assistance of
Associate Athletic Director Jim
Brock.
“Reports of the direction of
the new program were made
Wednesday afternoon to Presi
dent Paul Hardin and to members
of the basketball squad. Included
in the new program will be the
appointment of a new assistant
basketball coach to replace Mike
Pinkham and Neal Kinlund whose
contracts as assistant coaches
have been allowed to expire im
mediately without renewal.”
Prewitt will announce his new
assistant soon.
Prewitt said: “A vigorous pro
gram of recruiting both in Texas
and on a national level will be
continued by SMU.”
Pinkham said, “I’ve worked
hard and done the job. I’ve been
as loyal to the coach as I know
how. I’ve done the work he has
asked me to do and even more.
I’m not ashamed. I know I did
a good job—look at the record
. . . look at the recruits.”
“I don’t know how they could
have dismissed me and Neal and
they don’t dismiss him (Prew
itt),” Pinkham added. “Look at
his record 65-85. I admit I’m bit
ter and upset but I know I can
coach.”
Pinkham, who was actively
seeking the Oklahoma State job,
said “I’ve been as loyal as I know
how to be to improve the pro
gram. I’ve never been a loser.
I wanted to win.”
He said nothing was ever done
to discipline forward Ruben Trip
lett “because he talked back to
me.”
Pinkham said, “Some of the
kids even came to me wanting
discipline. In practice they could
Aggie Football Coach Accepts
Texarkana High School Job
Officials at Texarkana, Ark.,
High School announced Monday
that Robert E. (Swede) Lee, de
fensive ends coach at Texas
A&M, has accepted the positions
of athletic director and head foot
ball coach of their school.
Lee, in College Station, said it
was a very diffcult decision to
make.
“I have been very happy in
my relationship with Emory Bel-
lard and Texas A&M. I know that
the coaching staff here is as fine
as any in the country and I’m
firmly convinced that A&M is
one of the finest schools any
where. I believe that so strongly
that I plan to send my son, now
in the ninth grade, to A&M for
his college education,” Lee said.
For Lee and his family, the
move to Texarkana will be “re
turning home.”
“Both my wife, Jeanne, and I
grew up in Texarkana. It is where
I served as coach and athletic
director for three years, 1962-64.
My parents still live there and
Jeanne and I have many close,
personal friends in that area.”
Bellard, in Houston where his
wife, Mary Kay, is hospitalized,
said: “It goes without saying
that we hate to lose Swede. He
did an outstanding job for us,
both on the field coaching and
in recruiting and he is a person
with outstanding capabilities.
But, the opportunities in his new
positions were such that he could
not afford to decline. The desires
of the people in Texarkana to get
him to return certainly express
the confidence and high regard
they have for him. We wish him
and his very fine family all the
success in the world.”
The Lees have two children;
son Robert, 14, and daughter
Lezlee, 12.
