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

thirteenth home victory starts winning season Football season started September 1 6, with the thirteenth straight home victory when the Aggies defeated Lamar Tech 17-6. Statistically, NMSU led Lamar Tech both in passing and rushing. Out- standing fullback Doug Dalton carried the ball 16 times for 105 yards. The Aggies fell on September 23 to Arlington on the Rebels ' field by a score of 15-14. They led by a touchdown with four minutes remaining in the game until the Rebels recovered a fumbled punt on the NMSU 24 yard line. Arlington capital- ized on quarterback Mike Baylor ' s passing for the score. Going for broke, the Rebel squad made the two-point conversion on a deflected pass. mrr rr 30 TOP Aggie defenders Bob Severini (30), Roy Gercia (42), and Dwane Schaars (60) bottle up a Northern Arizona back.
