FORT WORTH (AP) — Texas
Christian, University safety Falanda
Newton no longef wants to change
his name. He considered it as a
youngster because he didn’t know
what “Falanda” meant, and almost
everyone mispronounced it.
Newton is expected to become
TCU’s first defensive All-American
since Bob Lilly in 1960. That’s a dis
tinction Newton can identify with.
Never mind that Newton spent
years questioning his mother, Lilly,
why she named him after a college in
Arkansas — Philander Smith.
“I was born in Louisiana,” Newton
said, laughing. “Fve always ques
tioned her about it. I told her I’d
change it as soon as I could.”
Newton once contemplated using
his middle name, but realized he
might have even more problems
with Anastasia.
“That’s even worse,” Newton said.
Newton, who played quarterback
in high school, finally began accept
ing his name about the time he
switched to defense. He went from
option quarterback to defensive
back.
It was a much smoother transition
than a name change.
Newton was All-Southwest Con
ference while accumulating 110
tackles and seven interceptions last
season and was named a second-
team All-American by The Sporting
News. He leads a TCU secondary
that Coach Jim Wacker calls the
most improved aspect of a team that
returns seven defensive starters.
“He’s our best football player,”
Wacker said. “I don’t have any
doubts. He should be an All-Ameri
can. He’s the best we’ve coached.
We’ve got a bunch in the NFL, and
none of them are Falanda Newtons.”
Newton doesn’t know much about
Lilly, a former All-Pro defensive
lineman who was the Dallas Cow
boys’ first pick of the 1961 NFL
draft. Newton said he was surprised
to be in the same company as Lilly, a
member of the Pro Football Hall of
Fame.
“I’ve met him a couple of times,”
Newton said. “He’s a pretty nice guy.
My mom loved him. She was a big
fan.”
Despite his successful 1987 sea
son, Newton said he needs to im
prove before the 1989 NFL draft.
He said he and former TCU de
fensive coordinator Rick Johnson
talked about his future.
“He put it down on paper,” New
ton said of Johnson, who was re
placed by Marc Dove after the sea
son. “He said, ‘From here on, your
next 11 games will be the key things
to put money in your pocket.’ That
put it in perspective.

64-year-old hurler still rules softbal
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Eddie
“The King” Feigner brings a regal
nature to softball, a beer-and-shot
kind of sport where royalty isn’t ex
actly revered.
Feigner’s throne is a bumpy, peb
ble-strewn mound, many times on a
dimly lit Little League field.
But what he does with a softball is
purely majestic. At an age when
many his age are contemplating re
tirement options, the 64-year-old
Feigner keeps on firing daily.
The paunchy frame and tight
crew cut might make him look like a
combination of Whitey Herzog and
Fred Flintstone, but Feigner can still
hurl a softball at speeds of up to 85
mph, making players a third of his
age look foolish.
“I’m playing a lot of players who I
have played against their fathers and
idfath
grandfathers,” Feigner said during a
recent stop in San Antonio.
For the 43rd straight season, “The
King and his Court” will trek across
the nation, serving as one of the last
barnstorming outfits. Their gim
mick is simple but appealing.
Feigner’s team of four players — a
C itcher, catcher, shortstop and first
aseman — will play a full squad of
opponents and usually end up the
victor.
Feigner’s team has ventured more
than 4 million miles in search of
softball games.
During a recent stop at Lackland
AFB, something rare happened to
the King’s team. They lost.
“Just remember that I could lose
4,700 straight games and still won’t
have a losing record,” he said dryly.
Feigner has won nearly 7,000 de
cisions during his career. Feigner
has struck out 118,000 batters and
thrown nearly 1,000 no-hitters. His
right arm has thrown millions of
pitches.
