Football is on the way back at Montezuma and Coryell deserves recognition for an extraordinary performance. I've got an idea he's going to wear very i:IL Given f e, he's liable to become one of th ~ ~ ~lalil~~•~ !.iuccessful coaches in the long, erratic history of Aztec football. San Diego State's resurg It I ell must be particularly gratifying to Aztec athletic director Al Olsen. The job of choosing a head coach was one of the first responsibilities thrust upon Olsen, and he had the nerve to gamble on a man who was virtually unknown in this area. Olsen's judgment already has been vindicated, and he rates another cheer for taking the initiative in scheduling games with Cal Western and the Universi- ty of San Diego. These intra-city rivalries, plus the Aztec comeback, have worked like a blood transfusion on a sick patient-local college football. The first mee1 ing between San Diego State and USD comes up Saturday night at Aztec Bowl, and it's been a long while since the community has expressed such enthusiasm and interest in collegiate hi-jinks. I hope this enthusiasm will be translated into the form of a capacity crowd of 12,000. That would give Olsen the encouragement and ammunition he needs in scheduling the other local schools in the future. Should the game fail to draw, Olsen would be under pressure to schedule schools outside the area. To my notion, that would be unfortunate, indeed. One of the most rewarding features of last Satur- day's 54-34 thriller between the Aztecs and Cal West- ern was that it underlined the growing stature of Cal Western in the local football community. Even in de- feat, the Westerners gained a lot of prestige. Cal Western has a solid, wholesome small college football program and a large, wholesome coach in Al Lewis. A witty, resourceful man of almost limit- less patience, Lewis is building from bedrock with an inexperienced squad and a firm structure is slowly taking shape. and senior * •
