'coach of year'

JACK ROWAN. who guided the Northeast gridders to SIX straight victories and third place in the Gulf States Conference II! his first year at the helm_ swept GSC Coach of the Year honors in a poll conducted hy the Louisiana Sporls Writers Association.

A veteran high school coach and assistant college grid mentor, Rowan made his start as a college head coach an impressive one. compiling an unbeaten record until the final three games of the season. His Indians were defeated in conference play only by co-champions Northwestern and Louisiana Tech_

The transplanted West Virginia Inountaineer came to Northeast late in July following the dealh of Devone Payne. long-time Northeast head coach, and built a team short in reserve strength into a winning squad, He was selected on 19 of 27 ballots to capture the "top coach" tag by a wide margin over )/orthwestem's Jack Clayton. Rowan had served as an assistant to Clayton with the Demons in 1957_

A.fter beginnin~ his career at j\:lullens High School III W'est Virginia in 1935, Rowan served a four-year hitch in the Navy during World War II. l;pon discharge he accepted the head coaching post at Byrd High School in Shreveport, where his teams won 68 game~ and lost only 41 over a ten-year period,

His 1949 club there won the state title and was runnerup in 1953.

After a temporary retirement from the coaching ranks in 1955, Rowan returned to footban two years later as backfield coach at Northwestern.

A real treasure for Ihe trophy case! Northeast brings tbe first. winning pigskin from Southeastern since the college became a senior institution.

LEW HARTZOG, personable Northeast mentor, hrought track back to the Indian scene with a hang in 1959, piloting the Redskins to first place in the Gulf States Conference and earning GSC Track Coach of the Year honors by an overwhelming margin.

In just two short years Hartzog, a veteran prep coach and a native Texan, revamped Northeast's almost-forgotten cinder team from a last place cluh in 1957 to a colorful championship machine in 1959_ The Indian thinclads swept virtually every GSC honor and placed high in competition against some of the largest universities in the country, gaining nationwide recognition.

Hartzog inherited in 1958 a Northeast team which had scored one-half point in the previous year's conference meet. With Coach Lew at the helm, the young Tribesmen came on strong that first season and finished third in the annual GSC championship meet.

After ;

.

Gulf States Conference co-athletes of the year. individual champions in numerous meets, top individual scorers in the GSc. participants in the i\ational AAU. a world record holderthese are just a few of the many accomplishments of Northeast's fabulous speedsters, Don and Dave Styron.

Brother Dave, the dash specialist, ran the 100 and 220, the 440, was on three relay teams and placed high in the broad jump and high jump. Dave scored a total of 2683/4 individual points for the season and picked up 28 first places. Included among his wins was a victory in the century dash at the Southwestern Recreation Meet wbich tied the jnnior world reeord at D..} seconds. The record-tying event carne just one day before his 19th birthday. Dave was consistently among the top finishers in the 100, winning the dash several times and losing close races to such top sprinters as Billy Cannon of LSU. Sidney Garton of East Texas State and Bobby Morrow, co-holder of the world record. He edged Cannon and Morrow for the "most outstanding" tag in the SLI Relays.

DONALD STYRON

Don was equally at home in the limeligh chalking np 207Y:2 points and 2;; first places fo the year and being voted the most outstancli athlete in the Northwestern Relays. His clocki there of 22.5 seconds over the low boards mad him the national leader at the time. lIe won b hurdle events for the second consecutive year' the LSU Invitational, setting meet records in ea' event. Don ran the high and low hurdles, ancho the 44,0 and 880 and led off the mile relay te and occasionally ran the 100 and 220 dashes.

Both qualified for the National AAll Boulder. Colo. In that meet Don equalled HlIrriso Dillard's American record in the 220-yarcl 10 hurdles with a 23.3 timing. Each of the twins won 26 winning relay teams.

DON "BUDDY" EJLA~D of Farmen'ille t.urned in a performance that would have won comeback honors of t.he year had a poll been Inade. After being seriously injured in an automobile accident earl)' in t.he year, Buddy came back t.o run the twomile in 9:31.4 and st.epped off the mile in 4:15. He was also awarded team trophies as the hardest. worker and t.he most improved squadman.

The 1959 edition of the Northeast track team provided a season of surprises. tremendous upsets, GSC coathletes of the year, GSC coach of the year and the school's first GSC championship.

Paced by Don and Dave Styron. jet-legged identical twins from Wheat Ridge, Colo.. the upstart Tribe cindermen romped to 11 meet titles, 2 second places and 2 fourth places. The Indians capped the season with a runaway victory in the Southern AAC meet on Brown Field, piling up a whopping 227 points.

Outstanding team performances during the season were numerous. Under Lew Hartzog. Northeast cruised La six victories over archrival Louisiana Tech, downed East Texas State which lost the NAIA crown by only one point, took fourth place in the Florida Relays against university competition and won the mile relay in the Sugar Bowl.

NOl:theast's mile relay team, composed of Davc Stywn, Jim Manser, Dick Hays and Don Styron, amazed the experts by willning the event in the Sugar Bowl with a fine .3:19 docking on a muddy' track. Tbe crack combination lost only Or;l,ee dming the season-to powerful East. Texas State wheu the baton was acci'dentaJly dropped.
