Indians Practice;
Hicks Disappointed
By RONALD TAYLOR
Coach Edward Hicks, a man who pulls no punches in
his efforts to restore Chattooga to the circle of winning
football teams, described his scrappy Indians’ first day of
practice as being “lousey.”
"For us to compete in this league, the mental attitude
of the whole team must be
tremendously improved.” said
Coach Hicks.
Concerning the general prog
ress of the team, Coach Hicks
stated: “Some of the boys are
working very hard; others are
not. Until they all respond, our
progress will be greatly ham
pered.”
Coach Hicks has obvious rea
son to be concerned with the
progress of his team, for it is his
job to replace ten starters and
13 lettermen. Also, there is that
opening game with AAA power
house Avondale that will require
a great deal of preparation both
physically and mentally.
Although Coach Hicks seemed
generally displeased with the
Indians' first tew days of prac
tice, he pointed out that very
little could actually he deter
mined until the boys put on the
pads Monday.
Personnel is one of the great
est problems facing the greatly
undermanned Indian squad. A
number of junior varsity boys
are being called upon to supple
ment the squad, and Coach
Hicks pointed out that several
of the players would be forced
to play more than one position.
The placement of personnel is
another problem to be solved
when the pads are put on. At
present, however, the Indian
line-up stacks up as follows:
Centers: Charlie Lowry. Jimmy
Floyd, and Charles Parker;
guards: Stanley Cook. Jerry Ma
han, Steve Smithson, and Quin
ton Wilson; tackles: Merle Ed
wards. Ronald Roughton, C L.
Kilgore, Larry Parker, Oreg Wil

Shivers; ends: Gary Black. Gary
Marbutt, John Turner, Jerry
Turner, Steve Harkins, an d
Johnny Thomas (transfer stu
dent from Gordon High School
in Atlantal; quarterbacks: Ray
Busby. Larry McGuire, and Terry
Cannon: fullbacks: Guinn Han

The Meaning of Football
From an article by Clettus Atkinson
Sports Editor, Birmingham Post-Herald
Football is the All-American and the scrub. It’s the Rose
Bowl with 102,000 cheering fans, and it’s the ragged kids in a
vacant lot using a dime-store ball. It’s a field in Colorado ankle
deep in snow, and one in Florida sun-baked and shimmering.
Leaping cheerleaders, a brassy band, and the Dixie Darlings
are a part of the wonderful game of football. It’s a rich guy
being chauffeured to the stadium gate, and a frightened boy
shinnying the fence and darting for the end zone seats. And
it’s a nation stunned and wet-eyed at the news of Knute Rockne’s
death.
Football is drama, music, dignity, sorrow. It’s exhiliration
and shock. It is also humor and, at times, comedy. It’s a referee
sternly running the game. It’s an inebriated character stagger
ing onto the field and trying to get into the action.
Football is the memory of Red Grange, the Four Horsemen,
and the Seven Blocks of Granite. It's a team’s traditional battle
cry, such as, "War Eagle,” in the middle of the summer. It’s a
crisp fall day, traffic jams, portable radios and hip flasks. It’s
train trips, plane flights and victory celebrations. It’s the losers
moaning, "You were lucky, just wait’ll next year!”
Names are football, such as Bronco, Dixie, Night Train, the
Horse, Hopalong, Bad News, The Toe and Mr. Outside.
For four quarters, football is the Great American Novel,
with chapters from Frank Merriwell, the Bible, Horatio Alger,
the life of Lincoln and Jack the Giant-Killer.
Newspaper photos, arguments, Mr. Touchdown USA, yellowed
clippings, the Hall of Fame, The Star-Spangled Banner — they’re
all football.
It’s a game of young men with big shoulders and hard
muscles. It’s also a game of old pros, such as, 38-year-old Charlie
Conerly quarterbacking the New York Giants to a football
championship.
Football is popcorn, Coke, banners and cigarette smoke. It’s
people standing for the kick-off. lap blankets, pacing coaches,
penalties and melodious alma maters.
Football is a game of surprises. The big guy everybody picks
in pre-season as All-American fizzles out. But a kid nobody

ever heard of scores the winning touchdown and a star is born.
It’s Tennessee going 17 games without being scored on. It’s also
tiny Chattanooga upsetting mighty Tennessee, making a coach’s
dream come true.
It’s the pro halfback who is a movie star. And the water boy
who got into a game at Yale. It’s Bronco Nagurski butting down
a sandbag abutment, and dwarfish Davey O’Brien disappearing
from sight behind an array of 250 pound linemen. Its Harry
Gilmer jumping high to pass, and Coach Jim Owens proving that
nice guys finish first.
Football is Bud Wilkinson, whose Sooners are 40 points
ahead, walking up and down the sideline like a caged lion. It’s
35-year-old Paul Dietzel and 90-year-old Amos Alonzo Stagg.
It’s 6'B” Gene "Big Daddy” Lipscomb and 5’6” Eddie Leßaron.
Women who don’t know a quick kick from a winged-T cheer
every move on the field, waving pennants, purses and even mink
stoles. That’s football. So it the pressbox with it’s battery of
clattering typewriters. And the old-timer who claims they played
a better game in his day is a part of football, too.
It’s Ray Berry, who wears contact lenses, making unbeliev
able catches for the Baltimore Colts. And after the game, when
he dons his thick glasses, he looks the part of a studious teacher
— which he is after football season terminates.
It’s a scramble for tickets, playing parlay, wide-eyed young
sters getting autographs, a fist fight in the stands, second guess
ing, banquets, icy rains, color guards, fumbles, goal line stands,
homecoming queens, and the typical mutt running onto the field
attracting everyone’s attention.
Football is Tommy Lewis jumping off the bench in the Cot
ton Bowl game and tackling a touchdown-bound Rice runner
simply* •brcsrust’. “I’ve got - too -nruch-Aiabama-in -me, I guess.”
It’s the quivering voice of a dying George Gipp telling his Notre
Dame teammates, “Win one for the Gipper.”
It’s New Year’s, Christmas and the Fourth of July rolled into
one. It’s VJ Day, the Declaration of Independence, Haley’s comet
and Bunker Hill. It’s tears and laughter, pathos and exuberance.
Football is a game that separates the men from the boys,
but also it’s a game that makes kids of us all.
Most of all it’s a capsule of this great country itself.
