The appearance in Fort Worth of one of the two men thi- passing yardage category, 135 most in the news at the moment would make us something to 50 Fauver was the leading rusher less than a responsible news medium, were we to ignore it with 97 yards Tensi hit 10 of 18 passes for 121 2. The Skiff, last Nov. 21, covered, rather amply, the ap- yards and Howard hit 5 of 14 for pearance here of the late John Fitzgerald Kennedy and his 50 yards then vice-president, Lyndon Baines Johnson. If The Skiff is to remain even moderately consistent, it must cover, with equal fairness, the appearance of a significant figure in the opposition party There is another overriding consideration. If a newspaper that presumes to communicate with nearly 7,000 students, plus a considerable faculty and ad- ministration, must gaze only inward upon our own small af- fairs, then we feel a major segment of our education would be neglected. We, as students, faculty and administration, are caught up in the most vibrant and explosive period in history. And we on The Skiff are remorseful only that our lack of space and personnel prevents us from a full and complete cover- age of the world, national and state scenes To critics of our Goldwater coverage, as of last fall's Kennedy coverage, we can only say this: Members of Pi Beta Phi squeezed themselves in a car-stuffing event of Phi Kap Man Day.

There were several factors that contributed to SMU pushing for desegregation when it did. When SMU started the process of desegregation in the fall of 1950, two schools in the Southwest Conference had already admitted at least one black graduate student. University officials, namely then President Umphrey Lee, realized that because other schools had desegregated, it would not be long before SMU would have to do the same.

Hamerla © Copyright by CHRISTOPHER R. DAVIS 2014 All Rights Reserved. Acknowledgements In many ways, this dissertation represents the culmination of a lifelong passion for both sports and history. One of my most vivid early childhood memories comes from the fall of 1972 when, as a five year-old, I was reading the sports section of one of the Dallas newspapers at my grandparents’ breakfast table. I am not sure how much I comprehended, but one fact leaped clearly from the page—Nebraska had defeated Army by the seemingly incredible score of 77-7. Wild thoughts raced through my young mind. How could one team score so many points? How could they so thoroughly dominate an opponent? Just how bad was this Army outfit? How many touchdowns did it take to score seventy-seven points? I did not realize it at the time, but that was the day when I first understood concretely the concepts of multiplication and division. Nebraska scored eleven touchdowns I calculated (probably with some help from my grandfather) and my love of football and the sports page only grew from there.

    FROG HISTORY 2008 TCU FOOTBALL TCU FOOTBALL THROUGH THE AGES 4General TCU is ready to embark upon its 112th year of Horned Frog football. Through all the years, with the ex cep tion of 1900, Purple ballclubs have com pet ed on an or ga nized basis. Even during the war years, as well as through the Great Depres sion, each fall Horned Frog football squads have done bat tle on the gridiron each fall. 4BEGINNINGS The newfangled game of foot ball, created in the East, made a quiet and un of­fcial ap pear ance on the TCU campus (AddRan College as it was then known and lo­ cat ed in Waco, Tex as, or nearby Thorp Spring) in the fall of 1896. It was then that sev er al of the col lege’s more ro bust stu dents, along with the en thu si as tic sup port of a cou ple of young “profs,” Addison Clark, Jr., and A.C. Easley, band ed to gether to form a team. Three games were ac tu al ly played that season ... all af ter Thanks giv ing. The first con test was an 8­6 vic to ry over Toby’s Busi ness College of Waco and the other two games were with the Houston Heavy weights, a town team. By 1897 the new sport had progressed and AddRan enlisted its first coach, Joe J. Field, to direct the team. Field’s ballclub won three games that autumn, including a first victory over Texas A&M. The only loss was to the Univer si ty of Tex as, 18­10.

The famed trophy, after a one-year visit to SMI', was returned to Student Body President Aubrey Owen Monday by SMI' Student President Richard Deals and two other SMI' student councilmen. "We would have had this back to you the night of the same," Deats explained, "but only two of our council mem- ber were there. The rest went home for the holidays. I don't think many or us expected to keep it another year." The trophy was originated by 194<i by a joint resolution of the two student governments. It is a symbol of the "Southwestern friendliness and rivalry" between the two schools. The trophy originally was proposed by the SMI' council and the Mustangs kept it for two years. The Frogs got It In 1918 when they tied SMI in Dallas. In case of a tie the skillet goes to the visitor. Since that time, however, the frying pan has almost exclusively remained in Fort Worth.

  • ABSTRACT a Qualitative Study on Teaching Methods and Leadership Strategies Used by Six Legendary Texas High School Football Coac
    ABSTRACT A Qualitative Study on Teaching Methods and Leadership Strategies Used by Six Legendary Texas High School Football Coaches Hunter Taylor, Ed.D. Mentor: Trena Wilkerson, Ph.D. With this multiple case study, the researcher examined the different teaching methods and leadership strategies used by six coaches actively coaching in the fall of 2016 who are considered successful in their fields. Four of these coaches have won four state championships; which is more than any other active coach in Texas High School Football, and the other two coaches have won three state championships and are currently coaching at the highest level of college football, Division I. The research question was, “What teaching methods and teaching strategies are used by Texas high school football coaches in championship winning schools?” In order to probe further, the following sub- questions were formulated: (1) What methods did the coach use to understand his subjects in an effective manner? (2) What were the work and community environments like for the coach at his school and town? (3) What type(s) of leadership did the coach model with his team and staff? (4) How did the coach continue his development as a coach and teacher as well as the development of his staff? This qualitative research was conducted by interview and all of the questions were connected to a four-part framework. The four parts of the framework were: Coaches as More Capable Others, Orchestrators of the Environment, Leadership, and Coaching Development. After the interviews were recorded and transcribed, they were coded and analyzed by the researcher and two other people with research experience.
