That’s an average of .778. All in all, Morris’ teams have played 438 contests in 26 seasons, winning 269 and losing 168. Garvin V. Beauchamp became head football coach at his Alma by his own former coach, “Tonto” Coleman, who went to the Univer- sity of Florida as freshman coach and left behind him a great ten year record at Abilene Christian College.

For one half it looked like the magic Beauchamp, Jackson and McClure had put in their boys might have leaked out. ACC trailed 3-0 at the midpoint.
