UIL, sportswriters team up
while pondering rules change
DENISON (AP) — Texas sports
writers and the University Inters
cholastic League have not seen eye
to eye on several occasions, but the
UIL made a rare request recently
when it asked the Texas Sports Writ
ers Association for help.
Two hotly discussed changes are
on the drawing board, and the UIL
is seeking the help of Texas’ sports
writers in gauging the sentiment of
football fans across the state.
One of the changes would result
in all six state championship football
games being played in Austin over
one weekend.
The other would involve some
type of overtime to decide tie games
instead of the present method of us
ing penetrations, first downs and to
tal yards.
A poll of superintendents and
athletic directors in the Denison area
indicates most of them oppose the
changes.
The nearby states of Oklahoma,
Arkansas, Louisiana, Kansas and
Missouri play their state
championship games at one site.
Oklahoma plays its games over
two weeks. The others play on a Fri
day and Saturday.
The format has been successful in
each state and has been responsible
for spectacular crowds.
The biggest complaint about host
ing all of the Texas title games in
one site concerns geography and
economics.
“It doesn’t seem right to send two
teams from North Texas to Austin
for a state championship game,”
Denison athletic director Marty Cris
well said.
However, it’s rare that two schools
from the same area meet in the Fi
nals because of the way teams are
bracketed by regions.
Many sports writers love the idea
of playing all the games at one site
because of the opportunities it pro
vides.
Such an event would bring college
and high school coaches to Austin
from all over the state.
This type of event also would be a
special treat for the football fan.
Few gridiron fans in the big cities
have ever seen six-man football.
“I think it would be a wonderful
idea,” said Sherman head football
coach John Outlaw. “This sort of
thing can really create some excite
ment.
“We did it in Arkansas, and it was
a very successful thing.”
Pottsboro head football coach Bo
Jones said, “I have real mixed emo
tions. It would be good for the view
ers, but ... I sort of think it should be
left up to the two schools involved.”
Bells head football coach Monte
Pritchett said: “I wouldn’t mind it as
a coach, but it can be a negative. I
coached in Kansas, and they do it
successfully.
“Still, if I was involved, I probably
would rather have a say in where I
played.”
Denison superintendent
cobs agrees with his coach.
“It’s not pro ball. It’s higl
kids playing a game,” Jacobssai|
However, Outlaw is foracli;
His team tied Fort Worth Tii]
Tech in the playoffs last Novetj
and was eliminated because I
teams also were tied in penetraj
and Trimble Tech had more]
downs.
“I’m definitely in favor ofJ
time,” Outlaw said. “TheyplajJ
time in basketball and extraim
in baseball. Why not football?"
Bonham’s Clark said he i
support overtime for districtj
and playoff games, but not for i
district games.
“We almost had a championship
game here in Denison this year with
Lindsay and Fannindel. They
wanted to play here if they met in
the championship game.
“Would it be fair to make two
teams like this play in Austin?”
Bonham head coach Loy Dean
Clark opposes the idea. “The two
people involved in the game should
determine the site. Would it be fair if
we played a team near Austin for the
championship?”
There were more positive reac
tions to the possibilities of changing
the methods of determining the win
ner in playoff games that end in ties.
Criswell would like things left the
way they are.
Pottsboro’s Jones also dis
current rule.
“I’m all for overtime,"
“You’ve got to make it fair. Siij
death may be the way to |
there’s a lot of good ideas.
“I’m totally against first
and total yardage deciding thtl
come of a game.”
C.L. Chambless, superinterJ
at Pottsboro, said he also thinl
time for a change.
“They need to do away
Hips, and there’s always the t
of the officials messing upi
counting penetrations and;
downs. When you go home I
night, you need to know whovj
lost,” Chambless said.
“I think 48 minutes is enough
time to decide a contest,” he said.
“High school kids don’t need to play
any longer. We still have the two-
point play, and I personally like the
present system.”
Former Texas A&M head
Emory Bellard, now head coatll
Spring Westfield, missed the
offs this past season because
mistake by the referees.
Bellard’s team tied for
place in District 15-5A, but rai
gated to third place because ofa|
eree’s mistake — later confiraiKl
league officials — that cost Wesll
a penetration.
Some coaches say they’d like;
time in the state champii
game, but nothing else.
Former Steelers lead
Hall of Fame inductees
CANTON, Ohio (AP) — Art Shell
of Oakland, Willie Wood of Green
Bay and Pittsburgh teammates
Terry Bradshaw and Mel Blount,
key players for three of the game’s
most successful teams, were named
to the Pro Football Hall of Fame on
Tuesday.
“You’ve got representatives of the
best teams of the ’60s and ’70s,”
Bradshaw said. “It speaks well for
what athletes are taught. Athletes
are told to win and they are judged
on how many games they win. It’s
not personal accomplishments or
statistics that matter most. America
loves winners.”
Wood spent 12 seasons as a de
fensive back with the Packers, who
won five NFL titles and the first two
Super Bowls, in 1967 and 1968.
“I was selected as a finalist a cou
ple of years ago, but I wasn’t chosen
then,” Wood said. “I started think
ing that so many Green Bay Packers
had gone in, maybe they might have
used up their quota.”
Shell played offensive tackle for
the Raiders from 1968-1982 and
participated in eight AFL or AFC ti
tle games and two Super Bowls.
He remembered that he had
walked through the Hall of Fame a
decade ago prior to a Raiders exhibi
tion game at Canton.
“I had no idea I’d ever be in
there,” he said. “You never think in
terms like that. I was in awe walking
through that building and reading
about the people enshrined. It is hal
lowed ground. To walk through it
was enough, but to be included in it
is almost too much to believe.”
Bradshaw and Blount were both
inducted in their first year of eligibil
ity.
Blount, a cornerback, and
Bradshaw, a quarterback, each spent
their 14 professional seasons with
the Steelers, helping the club to an
unprecedented four Super Bowl
championships.
“This is a particularly good feel
ing because Terry and I came in to
gether, we retired together and now
we go into the Hall of Fame to
gether,” sai Blount, 40, the director
of player relations for the NFL.
Not selected from among the
seven finalists were Bob Griese,
quarterback of the Miami Dolphins;
Ted Hendricks, a linebacker who
played for the Baltimore Colts, Pack
ers and Raiders; and defensive
tackle Henry Jordan of the Packers.
Shell, Wood, Blount and
Bradshaw will be enshrined Aug. 5.
