Bell urges acceptance of losses in intercollegiate sport
Matty Bell, once a top football mentor, told a banquet for University of Texas athletes that Americans should learn that not every athlete can win all the time. He warned against excessive focus on winning and stressed the broader value of sports, citing a team on the goal line as an example of a strong stand without guaranteed success. In Lone Star Conference action, Lamar Tech and Stephen F. Austin State lost, East Texas State beat F. Austin 64 to 52, and Southwest Texas edged Lamar Tech 79 to 71 in overtime as Sam Houston and Sal Ross prepared for a two-night series.
