Read What Prexy
Has To Say On
Saturday's Game
By Prexy Anderson
Abilene News-Reporter
The Howard Payne Yellow Jackets
have not been reading the newspa-
pers. They did not know that this
was to be the year of the great foot-
ball renaissance at Simmons Univer-
sity. They appeared utterly ignorant
yesterday of the fine record estab-
lished by the Cowboys in earlier
games to cinch a tie for the cham-
pionship. By the fury with which
they fought and by the manner in
which they succeeded any one might
easily have mistaken the game at
Parramore Field Saturday for that of
192S or almost any other meeting of
the past between Simmons and How-
ard Payne.
That was a typical Jacket-Cowboy
clash. Breaks stateness over-confidence
and more than anything else
Howard Payne beat the Cranfillmen
to the astonishment of twenty-five
hundred people who saw the season's
biggest upset in the Texas Conference.
The bad news was 20 to 0 and al-
though Simmons in defeat retained
Its percenatge lead in the champion-
shiprace Howard Payne is practically
certain to finish the campaign in a
tte fop the title by beating South-
western University this week.
Gib Sandefer manager of athletics
at Simmons announced last night
that he and "Cap" Shelton athletic
director at Howard Payne had agreed
on a second meeting on December 12.
The game would be played either here
or at Brownwood probably at Brown-
wood. Hope Gradually Fades
Two mighty breaks at the start of
the ball game resulted directly and
Indirectly in as many touchdowns and
with a 14 point lead at the end of the
first quarter the blue and gold ath-
letes were in with the victory. Some
hopes for a Simmons rally were car-
ried on through the first half but as
th third quarter rolled along with no
real threat of a Cowboy touchdown
these gradually subsided. Through the
second and third stanzas the Sim-
mons team aided by the wind and by
fumbles by the Jackets which came
as' frequently as those of the Ranch-
ers stayed in the visitors' territory.
but' the vicious enemy line led by
Captain Sylvan Cloinger and Frank
atubbs. and a wide awake aenaj ae
fejise smeared every scoring effort of
the home club.

COACH KEATON
With all respect to Chunk Ander
son's line Coach Keaton turned out
the line that forbade the high and
mighty Simmons line and backfleld to
cross the blue and gold goal line. Not
only did be turn out a defensive line
but he gave information to the line'
men as to how to open holes in the
Simmons line for the Jacket backfleld
to march through to glory.
This Jacket line under the tutelage
of Coach Keaton is the first one of
this conference season to prevent the
Cranflll's proteges from crossing their
line. If all of the honor that has been
piled up for the Cowboys should be
placed in one stack it would look like
a mighty small mole hill in compari-
son for the honor that is due the
Jacket line and Coach Keaton .
Hoot Masur. You have already been
told that Cloinger and tubbs were
all okeh In the line.
It is . possible George Gollghtly
might have made it a different story
had he started the ball game and had
he been in condition when he substi-
tuted in the' second quarter. His sub
stitute's snapbacks to Marshall and
Huestis for the first Simmons kicks
were wild the latter being partly re
sponsible for loss of the ball and
George's knowledge of the direction
of the plays and his ability to stop
them when he knew where they were
going were lacking on the Payne
charge for the second touchdown. The
co-captain finally went in on two peg
legs and for more than a half played
a very creditable game at center.
Steve Marshall and Vernon Stafford
were the other star ball players for
Simmons.
Pee made most of the Cowboys'
gains but the Jackets were jamming
the interference to keep him from
getting away on his characteristic
long Jaunts. He came nearer to a
touchdown sprint than at any other
time on the last kick-off of the game.
The kick went all the way to bis goal
and Pee took it behind well organ
ized interference to bisjpwn yard
line.

PEP KEEPS ON
LAST WHISTLE
When the first whistle of the an-
nual Jacket-Cowboy tilt was blown
there were approximately five hundred
ardent Jacket fans on hand to push
them on to cross the hereto-to-fore
uncrossed Cowboy goal. There was
never so much pep at one ball game
as there was at the game Saturday
at Parramore field. Every Jacket fan
and student strained a lung or two
for the Jackets. And did the Jackets
respond? With all of the pep behind
them they proceeded to cross the Cow
boy goal line three times. Further
more they refused to let the Cowboys
make a counter at all.
The entire team played superb foot
ball. Not a man of them failed to do
his part and more. If there was ever
a team that showed more fight and
determination to win a ball game it
would have been a distinct pleasure
to see them. There was surely more
Somebody said that it "couldn't be
done"
But he with a chuckle replied:
"That maybe it couldn't"
But he would be one
Who wouldn't say so 'till he tried.
So he buckled right In
With a trace of a grin
On his face If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the
thing
That couldn't be done a'nd he did Itl
than eleven men playing that game
for the Jackets. The team the spec-
tators and the coaches all played
part of that game. Without any sup
port where would the Jackets be and
how would they rate?
The pep rally that was held on Fri
day morning was the best that has
been held during the current year
Each student was ready for the game
as was the entire football squad. So
much pep has not been shown in any
neo rally that has been held. Now
that the game is over are we the
students going to lose our pep and
spirit because we think that no sup-
port will be needed to down the Pir-
ates from Southwestern? Every bit
as much pep will be needed to down
the Pirates as was needed to ride the
brono busters. The Jackets will be
the favorites before the game starts
according to the hope sheet but the
Cowhands were favorites on the sheet
before the Jacket game and you will
notice with a great deal of pleasure
what happened to thr Cowboys This

STILL
COACH CHEANEY
Yes we saw the game. What did
the Jackets do? Why that Jacket
backfleld and line worked as if there
were only one man on the field. This
one man had eleven appendages and
to back up this fighting aggregation
was a handful of staunch believers
and a little tin can band.
What these supporters saw was the
workings of Coach Joe Bailey Chea-
ney. After grueling all of this sea
son trying to show the men how a
play was executed and run Coach
Cheaney received his reward last Sat-
urday at the Simmons-Howard Payne
Classic Football Game. Don't you re-
member back in 1924 when Simmons
wanted to see how good Cheaney was
and our Coach Cheaney ran one back
on the kick-off and the Jackest came
off the field with 23-6 victory. That
same spirit that Coach Cheaney had
was shown on the field Saturday af-
ternoon when bis Howard Payne

ets just as easily as the Cowboys had
it happen to them. Don't get over
confident about the Pirate-Jacket
game for- things very unexpected can
happen without the slightest advance
Information.
Let's start to thinking about the
Thanksgiving clash with the Pirates
and back the Jackets enough to give
them a tie for the Texas Conference
If the Pirates can be whipped the
Jackets will be in a tie with Sim-
mons for the Conference title but it
will give the Cowboys the title if the
Jackets fall to down the team from
Southwestern. Come on gang! Back
those Jackets and give them a tie for
the Texas Conference. That will be
a record that has been unsurpassed
by any team in the Southwest. Three
Conference championships in a row
and a tie the fourth year. Wotta rec-
ord. DOWN THOSE PIRATES!

Fighting Jackets
Push Two Across
In First Period
Once more the little school from
Brownwood completely routed a Sim-
mons aggregation in the Cowhands
own corral. It was supposed to be
Simmons rodeo but Howard Payne
rode every buckin' bronc on the field.
The saddest story ever told was en-
acted at Parramore Field in Abilene
Saturday afternoon when for the first
time in conference history this year
a fighting Jacket stepped across the
heretofore untouched Simmons goal
and also forbade them to jaunt across
theirs. It was a Howard Payne night
as could be seen by the instinctive
ability of Slmmonites to find their
homes at dusk. Just another case of
a supposedly Simmons victory on pa-
per Jackets.
The above is the poorest lead that
we have ever written since our days
of journalism but there is absolutely
no necessity to give the score where
and when the game was played nor
all the other elements in a good lead.
Sufficient to say Howard Payne whip-
ped the cocky Cowhands until it was
pitiful. Simmons had her say before
the game when Howard Payne was
standing around the Hotel Wooten
but those who laugh last Jaugh best.
They could not even stay to see the
last four or five minutes of play so
badly were they whipped. And strange
to say Mr. Marshall and Rt. Hon. Pee
were sadly missing when those first
downs were needed.
Was Simmons Cocky?
Undoubtedly the cockiest Simmons
crew to ever stomp the streets of Abi-
lene marched up and down the streets
of that city sticking their tongues
out at Brownwood cars and jeering at
Howard Payne's chances for the af-
ternoon and the Brownwood delega-
tion just pmiled complasently and
thought about the pep meeting that
was held here last Friday morning.
In their hearts they were already
laughing at a dejected Cowhand and
his fait slipping laurels.
They will try to say that we lucked
out on them men but we might ex-"
pect that from a badly beaten team.
The Jackets just outplayed them that
was all. And before it was realised a
Jacket eleven had pushed two coun-
ters over the much heralded Cowhand
line.
Did those Jackets play ball! Fellow
students they made the Cowhand ro-
deo look like a game of .Ping Pong.
They had Mr. Marshall complesaent-
ing .Howard Payne tackier they had
safety men trembling and fumbling
the bail and they had Fata Craassul
pacing up and down until he had worn
