Transcript | Frosh end on winning note The UH freshman football team got their season off to a rather dismal start but closed out their year with three impressive victories over the frosh of North Texas State, University of Texas at Arlington, and Memphis State. Potential stars The 1968 Kitten squad was loaded with potential varsity stars. Running backs Puddin Jones and Robert Newhouse proved adept at moving the ball while offensive end Riley Odoms seemed a certain starter on the '69 varsity. Fumbles cost the Kittens their first game with Wharton Jr. College. UH players lost five fumbles and WJC slipped by, 29-21. The Kittens dropped another match against the frosh of the Air Force Academy, 23-20, before moving into high gear. The freshmen ripped into North Texas State in a 62-19 rout and then repeated the feat against Arlington, 67-24. The Kittens found the going a bit rough against the Memphis State frosh but still carted away a 34-21 victory. Kitten Coach Bob Baldwin appraised the 1968 edition of the team as the best he had coached. Above, QB Terry Peel scampers into the endzone to score against Arlington State. Left, economy-sized (6-4) tight end Riley Odoms snares a scoring pass against Arlington. The Kittens routed the Gents by a 67-24 count. 107 |
