t ::»:v :, ' ;:lj»»«r i v v- : ' ■ t ' . 4; autumn Nature ' s autumn corresponds in. time to the academic spring. From the solitude of vacation time, the campus bursts with stu- dents, parents, faculty, and a myriad of others. Activity is frantic. Moving into dorms, registration, orientation, book buying, and first classes are crowded into a few days. After the first rush, there are intermittent flurries, like different plants emerging and blooming in riots of color, beanie red, new shoe camel, and notebook blue, the univer- sity has the sweating hard work of A-Day, the scampering freshman, and the corsages and cheers of Homecoming. 27

S !p ' woodson era ends for state squads Warren B. Woodson, Athletic Director and Head Football Coach, left New Mex- ico State University in 1967, as one of the nation ' s winningest coaches . His overall win-loss record stood at 239-110- 20 for a span of 40 years. He will be on the coaching staff at Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas. The 1924 graduate from Baylor Univer- sity took over as football coach at NMSU in 1958. NMSU had not defeated their arch rival University of New Mexico since 1937 or neighbor foe Texas Western Col- lege since 1946. Woodson ' s 1958 team toppled TW and then beat UNM in 1959. If any phase of Woodson ' s game stood out above the others, it had to be on the offensive ledger. He is considered the genius in many circles because of his revolutionary offensive sets like the Wing-T, Space-T and Slot-T formations which he invented while at Hardin-Sim- mons. Another Woodson trademark has been national rushing champions— ten of them to be exact. His latest honor was awarded by the Football Writers ' Association for meri- torious service to college football . LEFT Leading the 1967 Aggie cheers on the football and basketball sidelines were Betty Warnke, Sheila Riddle, Mary Ann Rivera, Toni Reay, Barbara Bouvet, and Dana Castleberry. The sponsor for the group was Mrs. Pierce Hubbard. ABOVE Coach Woodson receives a plaque fo r his services to NMSU. 29
