A tough schedule, consisting of four ranked teams, and many unexpected injuries were a couple of the factors that contributed to the Rocks dissa- pointing 3 7 record for the year, how¬ ever, the Rocks managed to finish fourth in the conference with a re¬ spectable record of 2-3. There were, however, several bright spots over the course of the season. Strong-armed quarterback Fontaine Walker was outstanding, throwing for 800 yards. Junior Joe Lawrence was the leading receiver in the conference and Tom Cole was the fifth leading rusher in the Western Big Six. These three, aloncj with defensive specialists Ray Jackson and Cliff Leigh, were named to the all-conference team. In December Coach Bill Burrus re¬ signed his position, he was very fond of the job but wanted more time with his family. Mr. Burrus was well liked by his fans, team members and stu¬ dents and will continue to teach at Rocky. With numerous returning lettermen and a good crop of sophomores com¬ ing up for the next season a new coach will have a great deal of talent to work with and Rockys ' football pro¬ gram might be rejuvenated.
