In Last Quarter But
Fail To Score
Texas Tech's Maroon Mnrnudcrs
in breaking the Cowboy jinx that for
nearly a decade has not allowed them
to win a game by more than a touch-
down garnered their most crushing
victory in the team's history 13 to 0
over Coach Les Cranfill's Ranchers
Friday in Lubbock. The Matador
win was six points better than the
score in any of the four successes
they have recorded thus far in nine
starts against the Cowhands.
It was well into the third quarter
beforo n Tech crowd of 3500 could
find lcavo to applaud the commend-
able Red Raiders' performance. At
this point Tyler Cowboy fullback
fumbled n snap back from his 5 yard
line after a 15 yard penalty and
Martin hefty Tech end recovered
for a touchdown. However this tally
and another on a pass over the goal-
line soon after did not swell the Mata-
dor victory margin to anything near
the satisfaction of Pete Cawthorn.
He had his first string shock-troops
and all jogging around the field as
the crowd departed and then held a
scrapping scrimmage session that
ended only with the arrival of dark-
ness. After the strategy of the great
Rockne Tech's shock-troopers start-
ed against tho Cranfillmen but were
unable to threat seriously. The first
string came running in for tho two
midway periods and it is doubtful if
they could have ever mode their
fancy gestures count had they not
been able to score on Tyler's hapless
fumble.
A 15-yard penalty for clipping on
end trying to kill a Tech punt which
rolled over the end-zone for a touch-
back gave Simmons the ball on its
5-yard line. When Tyler juggled the
snapback as he started to punt it
looked for a moment like he would
run it out or be thrown for a safety.
But as he jarred loose from a tackier
his grasp slipped again and the ball
was recovered by Malcolm Martin
for six points. Captain Scatter Win-
ters roso up and blocked Gaines
Davis' try for point from placement.
Simmons kicked off following the
tnlly and soon after Tech was within
easy scoring distance for the first
time during tho afternoon. Gwyn
Dowcll speedy and shifty ball carrier
wheezed through a temporarily dazed
defenso in successive thrusts until the
Simmons goal was a yard and a half
away. Harris then pulled what look-
ed like an intentional fumble over the
goal line but Carl Garner recovered
on thevtwo yard strip for the Cow-
men. Tyler kicked out nicely to his
35-yard strip but Buchanan ran back
to the 22 yard line. Here the Cow-
boys held for two downs but yield-
ed on the third when Buchanan
heaved a cinch pass over the far
corner of the goal lino to Dowcll.
Davis' second attempt for the extra
point was good and the final score
stood favoring Tech 13 to 0.
Except for a few scattered short
runs by Tyler tho Cranfillmen did not
show appreciable power until the
fourth quarter. A couple of passes
Estes uurgamy to Jimmy Neely one
for 24 yards took them past mid-
field in their first spurt. Tho final
threat was an 18 yard dash by Bur-
gamy to tho Tech 35 but this was
snubbed on the next play when Keo-
vcr intercepted Paul White's aerial.
Most conspicuous of tho stars in
defeat was Elton Murphy big Cow-
hand tackle who got nn estimated
35 percent of the tackles and played
57 minutes more football than Tech
was reportedly going to allow. Win-

Kangaroos Make Touchdown
In First Six Plays
Of Scrimmage
Maimed Abilene Christian college
Wildcats were trampled in the lair
of tho Austin college Kangaroos at
Sherman Monday night by a score of
27 to 0. The winning team used every
man on the squad in downing the
cripples.
Only six plays were needed for the
triumphant Kangaroos to carry thp
pigskin across the pay-line the first
time. Completing a 35-yard pass
they placed the ball on the' 10-yard
line from where they scored easily.
On the sixth play Thomas Hodges
carried tho ball over left tackle for
tho touchdown and tho Austin college
gridstcrs jumped into a six-point
lead.
Austin scored again late in the
first quarter on a 23-yard pass. Buch-
anan to Clements with Clements lnt-
cralling to Hodges who stepped one
yard across the line for a score. Both
of Caudle's attempts for extra points
were low.

pass on the A. C. C. 21-ynrd line early
in tho second quarter and in. two plays
Buchanan carried it over. Young

Indians Hold Daniel
Baker To 7 to 7 Tie
In Distant Stadium
Hill Billy Backf ield Ace Races
85 Yards On Punt For
Touchdown
Daniel Baker Hill Billies and tho
McMurry Indians fought to a 7 to 7
tie Saturday night in Brownwood in
a game of thrills nnd spills before a
crowded stadium breaking a winning
strenk for the Indians against the
Hill Billies. It was the first time
since 1928 that tho Redskin3 failed to
bring homo a victory at the expense
of the Brownwood institution.
One of Daniel Baker's backfield nccs
nobbed a punt in the first quarter
and raced back 85 yards for a touch-
ed by a good kick giving the Billies
ed a good kick giving the Hill Billies
a seven point lead in the first period.
McMurry scored in the last min-
ute of tho second quarter. Daniel
Baker from its 18 yard line tried a
quick kick which Mulo Stockton In-
dian left tackle blocked. Meek pick-
ed the ball up and took it to the pay-
off zone. Blackburn converted.
The Indians collected 320 yards
from scrimmnge including 101 yards
from ten completed passes but did
most of their gaining in midfield as
seventeen first downs failed to take
them past the twenty yard line. Car-
ter let a pass fall from his hands as
he stood on the goal line in the second
quarter.
Daniel Baker made five first downs
and 147 yards from scrimmnge but
returned punts for a total of 120
yards. Tho Billies threatened in tho
third period once renching the ten
yard line for a first down.
Snodgrass with his punt returns
and pass catching was the backfield
star of the home team whose line
play was featured by Roach at cen
ter and Morris nt end. Stockton
Jefferies and Foreman in the line and
all tho backfield performed well for
the Braves.
Starting lineups:
McMurry Davis and Meek ends;
Stockton and Foreman tackles; Jef-
feries and Wood guards; Brian cen-
ter; Blackburn Echnrd Brooks. and
Carter backs.
Daniel Baker Cokcr nnd Morris
ends; Adams and Head tackles;

Ranchers Leave Friday
On Last Trip This Year
SPORT SLANTS
By Mach
Three little football games Monday
ascertained for us now and forever
that grid results arc more unpredict-
able than what a woman will do next.
Lubbock favored to beat Amarillo
takes it on the chin four touchdown's
worth. Austin collego swamps what
was tho staunch Wildcats nnd Ran-
Rer plays leap-frog into Cisco's end-
zone very very often.
Although as aforementioned we
had it proved to us on several lament-
nblc and costly occasions that noth-
ing is certain besides death and taxes
etc. and that nothing is as uncertain
as a football game this week we bet
this way:
Simmons 0 El Paso Mines 0.
McMurry 13 Southwestern 7.
Texas Tech 27 Do Paul 0.
Texas 10 T. C. U. 7.
Ranger 20 Brcckenridgo 7.
St. Edwards 0 Austin College C.
Trinity 0 N. T. Teachers 25.
Texas Tech's powerful squad that
should hnvo beaten the Cowhands 40
to 0 did little to please their fircy
little mentor Pete Cnwthorne when
they managed to win by a. puny 13
to 0 count. All for the sake of gain-
ing stamina he had every player (ex-
cept one who couldn't walk) running
signals and scrimmaging from im-
mediately after the game until dark-
ness. When the Ranchers invaded the
Matador camp-theyfound many and
varied stickers on window door and
post pleading for a revenge of the
13 to 12 defeat in 1932. Well the
Maroon Maidens avenged that defeat
with a puny but most decisive vic
tory 13 to 0 in the nine years of
competition.
But they failed to attain a second
objective news of which was as wide
ly circulated. In fact they did not
even come near this latter and
"crowning" aspiration. This objec-
tive was to get Murphy OUT in three
minutes. It is well known that Mur-
phy "stayed in there" CO full min
utes. IT is also well known that
Murphy played football those CO full
minutes.
The Cowhands after their 450 mile
jaunt yesterday in the little bus
should bo in good shape today when
they size-up with the Miners. Coach
Cranfill carried only 21 men on the
trip but that aggregate should be
enough to take tho El Paso boys.
Tho Cowboy band also made the
trip in skeleton formation. Between
the tenm and tho band tho effects of
visiting the Juarez side and a 900-
mile bus ride there should be a few
tired men around this campus Mon-
day if we guess right.
Theo Rigsby who suffered a very
slight fracture of the skull in the
melee with Tech last week has re-
covered quite rapidly from such a
serious hurt. His injury was the
most serious suffered by any Sim-
mons football player since 1908.

men Jack Snodgrass. His seventh
touchdown was added to his list last
Friday after ho had made an 85 yard

Second in the raco is Peto Tyler I
Hardin-bimmons university fullback
who has crossed the goal line for 24
points.
Howard Poyno leads tho confer-
ence teams in the number of points
but the individual honors on tho Yel-
low Jncket squad are so evenly di-
vided that no one man has more than
18 points to his credit.

Two Teams Evenly
Matched in Fray
Twenty -three Make Trip;
Rigsby Is Out Due
To Injury
The Hardin-Simmons Cowboys left
Abilene early Friday morning bound
for El Paso where Saturday after-
noon they will take on their nge-old
rivals the School of Mines Muckers.
In previous years the Cowhands
have made the 4C0 mile trip on the
train; however this year the Cow-
punchers arc changing their method
of travel and Coach Cranfill and 23
members of his team made the trip
to tho border city via bus.
Comparative strength of the two
teams shows them to bo about even.
The Cowboys have played jam-up
football against strong teams and dis-
played little against their weaker op-
ponents while the Muckers have play-
ed good and bad ball against both
good and bad teams. In tho early
part of the season the miners troun-
ced Daniel Baker to tho tune of 34-7.
The Cowboys came out on the long
end of a 0-0 score in their encounter
with the Hill Billies about three
later. Against Texas Tech the Min-
ers were trounced 27-0 while the
Matadors were lucky to eke out a
13-0 win over the Cowboys. The dope
is even more complicated when tho
two teams' games against Sui Ross
arc considered Hardin - Simmons
licked Sul Ross in an early season
game 18-0 while the annual Mines-
Sul Ross grudge game ended in favor
of Sul Ross 13-12.
In the last four encounters be-
tween the two teams the results have
been:
1927 Hardin-Simmons 32 Mines 19
1931 Hnrdin-Slmmons 45 Mines 0
1932 Hnrdin-Simmons 2 Mines 13
1933 Hnrdin-Simmons 0 Mines 10
