Coach Matty Bell Eyes Folson For Assistant Role
Nate Bobby Folson, SMU wingman and ranch owner in Rota Texas, carries a rare football string. Since late 1944 his teams have won 31 straight games, including Army’s 19 straight from 1945 to 1946 and SMU’s three wins in 1944. Now a senior at SMU, he may remain unbeaten as Bell weighs him for a coaching post while he keeps ranch life.
