Comment On Sports
Br PETE ftUTCHIE
Washington, D. C. ? The foot
ball season ii proving again that
there It no substitute for bralm.
We're (peaking of the college foot
ball season but that would also
hold true concerning the pro*.
We see such affirmation of thjs
when We see Michigan State's
hustlers whip Michigan, as usual.
And we see it when Georgia Tech
tops Duke, again, In a key game.
We see in in a rebounding Ala
bama.
The reason for these basic trends
Is coaching. The coach at Michi
gan State, at Georgia Tech, and
the new Alabama regime, is di
rectly at the cause of these trends.
A lot ot coaches say they don't
do much ? that It's the boys or the
material they get or inherited.
Good material is fine to have. It
can make a dlffeernce. But the
really top coaches, wherever they
go, build good teams. Look at Tom
Nuggent at Maryland.
And look at Iowa. Coaching 1a
the real hey. Th*t's why Arkansas
is tough, sfter many so-so years.
That'* why Mississippi Is so tough.
In short, there Is just no sub
stitute for brains. And the smart
coaches often have another qual
ty, which seems to help. Most of
them love the game ao much It
beromes infectious.
College players are very sus
ceptible to this rah-rah, this love
ef the game stuff. In the pro lea
gues, it's more of a business.
And the boys have to love it to
do their best, because twenty
youngsters have already been kill
ed this year playing football. Hund
reds have suffered permanent, in
jury. Thousands have lost teeth
or Injured kees, etc.. Injuries
which cannot be eraaed In future
years.
Thui, a smart coach, handling
boyi who love the game, l? the
anawer to collegiate football suc
ceaa nine times out of ten. Even
the best material, handled by a
poor coach, doesn't make a great
team. There is jutt no substitute
for brains.
Devils Down
Elkin, 41-0
By THURMAN JOHNSON
The Blue Devijy of Appalachian
High School romped over Elkin
by a score of 41-0 last Friday in
an inter-conference gridiron battle
at the Weat Wilkes stadium. The
Devila truly looked like a bunch
of "demons" as they Jumped right
on the Bucking Elks, with Robert
Matheson running 30 yards for
the touchdown. The Blue Devils
held the slim 7-0 lead to half
time.
Then' Tommy Taylor took the
opening kickoff and r*n 80 yards
for the score. Matheson and Tay
lor teamed up to make four more
touchdowns before the game end
ed.
The boys looked good and play
ed one of their best games of the
season. This game could prove to
be quite important to the local
team, as it could well determine
the District 7-A championship.
The line also played particular
ly well. They hit hard, making
holes for good runs by Matheson
and Taylor, as well as making good
tackles to stall off Elkin drives.
