Martin Says Tohill ‘Good as Anyone’
ORT WORTH—Texas Chris-
n Athletic Director Abe Mar-
said Wednesday he thought
ach Billy Tohill had “been do-
as good as anyone can do”
considering the injuries which
ve beset the horned Frog foot-
11 team this autumn.
Martin said “When you lose a
few games the rumors start to
flying . . . it’s been that way
since I can remember.”
Tohill said Tuesday he had
heard rumors that he would be
fired at the end of the season
but added “If I’m being fired,
they’re not telling me yet.”
Martin, asked why Tohill
hadn’t been given a vote of con
fidence, said “I never got a vote
of confidence in mid-season no
matter what I was doing. You’d
have to call a meeting of some
kind to do something like that.”
TCU is 2-4 for the year and 0-2
in Southwest Conference play un
der Tohill, who shared SWC
Coach of the Year honors in 1971
with the late Jim Pittman.
Martin said “We’ve had no
meeting on the coaching situa
tion. We’re just trying to win
football games. It’s a little pre
mature for anybody to get all
excited about the thing.”
Martin is in his 10th year as
TCU athletic director after 15
years as coach of the Horned
Frogs.
Tohill has two years left on
his contract and says “I plan
on fulfilling it.”
Rumors about a replacement
are rampant.
John Anders of the Dallas
Morning News quoted a TCU
source Wednesday as saying
“Nothing short of a miracle can
save Tohill now.”
The same source named Jim
Shofner, 37, an assistant to Dick
Nolan of the San Francisco 49ers
of the National Football League,
as a possible successor.
Another name tossed about is
RECORD BREAKER—Kicker Randy Haddox continues
to rewrite A&M’s record book as he tied one school mark
and set another in Saturday’s game with Baylor. He broke
Charlie Riggs season kick scoring mark of 39 as he racked
up his 46th point of the season aginst the Bears. He also
tied Riggs season field goal mark of eight. Earlier this
season, Haddox has set a single game field goal mark
(with 3 against LSU), and tied a single game extra point
record (with six against Wichita State).

Gil Bartosh, a former Frog star
who is now an assistant under
Emory Bellard at A&M.
Tohill suffered a near-fatal
automobile accident in the spring
in which he lost a foot, but made
a gutty comeback to be on the
field with his team this fall.
Martin said, “The kind of spec
ulation that has been going on
doesn’t do anybody any good.
Lordy, we just want to beat Bay
lor Saturday.”

AUSTIN—Texas will be miss
ing its two top inside linebackers
Saturday when it plays SMU,
the nation’s second-ranked rush
ing team.
Sherman Lee broke an ankle
against Arkansas, and Glen Gas-
pard, 225-pound co-captain and
the man around whom the Long
horn defense is built, reinjured a
knee in practice Tuesday.
“I really think he’s out of the
contest,” coach Darrell Royal told
the Longhorn Club Wednesday.
“The knee has not responded.”
Gaspard suffered the injury
after Royal told a sportswriter
it was “real important for Gas
pard to be 100 per cent.” It was
the same knee he hurt in a pre
season workout and did not fully
recover from until the Arkansas
game.
Sophomore Rick Fenlaw will
start for Gaspard.
Offensive halfback Tommy
Landry may miss the SMU game
because of a bruised knee, Royal
said, and center Bill Wyman is
not working out.
Wyman sustained a severely
jammed toe in the Arkansas
game, and Royal said he consid
ered keeping him out of the Rice
game, but got worried at the last
minute and started him. Wyman
had to have the toe deadened with
a shot to play.
Royal came up with another
of his country witticisms—he had
a poor rural upbringing at Hollis,
Okla.—after Longhorn Club pres
ident Wally Scott asked members
if they preferred fried chicken or
roast beef sandwiches at the
weekly showing of game films.
The vote was about half and
half, and Scott repeated Royal’s
whispered preference for the
sandwiches, saying that decided
it.
Royal took the microphone and
declined to take credit, or blame,
for the decision. “My job as a
boy was to run down to the high
way to see what had been run
over so we could have gravy,” he
said. “I’m grateful for anything
we have here.”
SMU
DALLAS—Southern Methodist
University’s Mustangs worked out
in the Cotton Bowl Wednesday in
preparation for their nationally
televised battle with the Univer
sity of Texas Saturday.
Coach Dave Smith stressed the
importance of the game regarding
his team’s Cotton Bowl aspira
tions. He called the game “an ex
cellent opportunity to show the
nation what we can do.”
Smith said he felt Texas has
the best of defense SMU has
seen this season and expressed
great admiration for the Long
horns adeptness at defensing the
Wish-bone.
