Experience Takes Its Toll on Freshmen Freshman football fortunes were laid in the capable hands of new head Coach Frank Guttman. He characterized the sea- son as “a bunch of hills and valleys. Coach Guttman added, McCollum was our best game because we did everything right, however, consistency was lacking the rest of the year. The fish started with only 13 players with junior high experience. Therefore much time was spent adapting new people to new positions. According to Coach Guttman, the main problems were depth and lack of experience. In the past the team came over intact but this year we had to adjust people to different positions. The offense tallied 188 points during the season, with E. J. Pleasant and Jimmy Sutton as leading rusher and leading scorer, respectively. The defense was char- acterized by a big defensive line. The lead- ing tacklers were Tommy Weaver and Dennis Pannell. Probably the best defen- sive game was in a 6-0 loss to LBJ. At the beginning of the football season, the freshman team faced a rough year ahead of them. The students from Pearce and Webb who would ordinarily come to Reagan only now had to be split between Reagan and the new high school, LBJ. This split caused the freshmen to start out the year with relatively little depth and very lit- tle experience. In spite of this, the young Raiders attacked the year with determina- tion.
