Most people thought that neither the football team nor the basketball team was going to do that good, but both of them finished second overall, was Donald Kubala's summary of the sports year. Coach Bill Hamrick called it the strangest season in my 25 years of head coaching. Misfortune camped at the Carroll gym through the year. Boys track Coach Floyd Punk Rogers was out for six weeks in the early fall to recover from Gullian Berrey Syndrome, a disease affecting the nerve coatings. Later, Coaches Bill Hamrick and Willie Gawlik were hospitalized several days for injuries suffered in an automobile accident December 13. On the way to a favorite fishing spot in a mobile home, Coaches Hamrick, Gawlik, Tom Almond and Bud Frey collided with a truck, killing the truck driver and throwing all four coaches out of the vehicle. Coaches Frey and Almond were not seriously hurt. Following the mobile home, Coach Butch Gilliam and Fred Shawger came upon the V accident, and, along with Coach Almond, gav first aid until an ambulance came. Early in the season, the football outlook was dim. Coach Gilliam said, There was a time when we were trying to find a team that we could beat! We hadn't won a game yet. Views slowly brightened as the season progressed. This year we had just as much talent, but we had more injuries. After we started getting everything together, the injuries started settling down, and we started winning, commented defensive back Dannie Teel. For most Tiger football players and fans, the King game was the highlight of the season Teel described the players' feelings, We just got it together and kept the spirit up, and we just outplayed them. lt was something we were going to do or die. We wouldn't settle for a tie or anything, we were going for it all. We thought, 'lf we don't do it in the King game, well, it might be a little downhill! Determination seemed to be the key word
