Seventy-one athletes-the largest squad ever for AC-proved once again that a non-subsidized athletic program is a meaningful and worthwhile supplement to a liberal arts education. The underdog Hoppers completed the season with a com- mendable record of seven victories and two defeats. Forty-three varsity letter awards and twenty-eight reserve awards were given to the team members who contributed to the successful season. 1965 was a memorable season: Austin College finished ahead of the eight other independent colleges in Texas with a .778 won-lost percentage . . . Defensively, the Hoppers allowed only 120 points to be scored against them, the best defensive work among independents . . . At the 1965 Homecoming game ceremonies, twenty-two former AC coaches and athletes were inducted into the Hall of Honor, newly created by the Alumni Athletic Association . . . jerry Bishop completed 137 of 262 passes for 1,727 yards and 16 touchdowns this season . . .
