The Six and Eight man Coaches Association was a roaming nomad for much of its infancy. It was held at various locales, Cisco and I think Corpus among others and yes, Abilene. A haphazard group, many times the officers and directors cosigned notes to fund the activities. Uniforms were used from year to year and trainers unheard of. The awards to the players in most cases were small plastic footballs or basketballs, much as you see on mums at homecoming. They survived mainly on good fortune and good weather. For many years they were one rain out away from disaster.
They have come a long ways.

Here is another trivia question a little bit easier to find out:
In 1936 a cereal company featured six-man football plays introduced by different University coaches on the back of their boxes. There were a total of 6 different backs/plays and coaches.
1. What was the cereal?
2. Name all 6 coaches and their university.

Easy one. Semi 6man question. Since Rule is now 6man. What famous 11m coach took his 1st job there after College for $900 a year with $1 a month taken out for retirement and 5% to the company in Abilene that found him the job. Hint: other 6man connection, Granger was in the press box with him at a state semi in his "own" stadium.
