Murray-Go-Round: Baker used sparingly in South defense
In Tom Murray's column, South coach George Sauer faced questions about why Baytown's Guinn Baker played only on kickoff duties and why Hermann Carpenter at quarterback wasn't tried. Bakers's impressive workouts contrasted with limited field time as South kicked off in the 1953 Texas High School Sectional A-Star showcase, where a kickoff return highlighted Baker's impact before his tackle on a key play.
