GAME WILL BE FOR NAVY RELIEF BENEFIT
Jackets Ready For
Mountaineer Game
Two Teams Have Not
Met In Eight Years
After resting; Inst week Coach Mc-
Adoo Keaton hi lugs the Howard
Payne Yellow Jnckets back Into the
spotl ght as they Ret ready to tangle
with the ever tough Schrclncr Moun-
taineers In Btownwood Friday night.
The Schrclncr school sends an out-
standing eleven to Brownwood for the
engagement. The Jackets and Moun-
taineers have met only once previous
to this year. Back In 1031 when the
Jnckets nosed the Kerrvlllc eleven out
by a 10-13 scotc -the winning touch-
flown be ng scored by the Jackets
with less than thtcc minutes to play.
The Baptists have not forgotten that
although it was eight years ago when
they had cnteied the game undefeated
and had ti ailed for fifty-seven min-
utes before they could overcome the
Mountninoed's lead. A scries of long
passes netted them a touchdown and
victory.
This year Coach Keaton's boys have
lost but one game a 6-0 loss to San
Marcos Tcachcis In their second
game of-the season. Since then how-
ever the Jackets have won four
stt night games three of them be'ng
conference victories and have scored
sixty-six points compared to six by
their opponents.
The Mountaineers have already
beaten two members of the Texas
Conference- the McMunay Indians
and the Southwestern Pitatcs. One
compaiison of the two teams Is offest
by another. The week after Howard
Payne lost to San Marcos the Moun-
talneeis came along and beat the
Tcachcis 20-0 but then lost to Lamar
Jun or College. Southwestern beat La-
mar then the Jackets won from the
riiates thus evening up the odds. Pio-
Lably the best compaiison is that the
Jacket squad scld the McMurray elev-
en fully in check while the Schrcincr
team hail trouble with them.
In the Keriville team's line up is a
younger bi other of I. B. Hale All-
Ameiican from TCU during the days
of Sammy Baugh. Young Hale is a
lineman as was his famous brother.
The Mounta'neets have a famous pro-
duct of Frcdciicksbuig in Andiegg.

considered a dangerous hard-hitting
i tinner. Andiegg's favorite pass re-
ceiver is Coleman a spirited fast

The Mountaineers tun off of single
wing double Wing and short punt
fotmatlons.
The Jacket line-up will piobably be
the same as was used against the
Southwestern Phate3.
SW Conference
On Home Stretch
The most attractive game in the
Southwest Conference over the past
week-end was the battle between the
Baylor Beats and the Texas Chtistian
Frogs.
The Beats defeated the Frogs who
ranie to the field Saturday with an
undefeated tecord for the season but
the Baylor eleven seemed to be too
stiong for them.
The oncefdefeated Bears led the
score 10-7. The biggest play of the
game Saturday was made by Kit Klt-
trell a back for Baylor when ho
made the 18-yaid run which led to a
touchdown three plays later. The Bay-
lor line stood like a lock wail in the
game while they diopped the Frogs
f loin the nation's undefented and un-
tied teams. The game dtew the laig-
est crowd of the season to the T. C. U.
stadium. Some 12000 wild cheering
giid fans wntchod the Bears i oil the
Frogs for the victory.
The Baylor victory set the stage
for a gigantic struggle Satuulay at
Austin when they meet the Long-
hot ns.
In the Baylot-TCU battle offen-
sively the game was about on a bal-
ance! TCU made 11 fltst downs Bay-
lor 6. The Ftogs gained 118 yards
lushing to the Beats 120. TCU passed
for 88 yards and the Waco eleven ac-
counted for 35.
The Texas Agg'es won their first
conference- game of the season last
week and handed the University of
Atkansas its 11th consecutive defeat
by winning -11-0. At no time did Ar-
kansas get inside the Aggies' 20-yard
line.
The fumbles on the Atkansas Pork-
cis' part paved the way for tho Aggie
victoty. Atkansas made more first
downs than A & M 10-9 and outpussed
them 101 to 83 yards but was behind
on lushing Ml to 73 lor a total net
of 220 for tho Aggies and 171 for tho
T.azoi backs
Aikansas tiled 27 passes and com-
pleted 7 but had two intercepted
which paid off Jn touchdowns for tho
Aggies. A & M tried 15 passes com-
pleted 4 -two of which made touch-
downs. Rico Instltuto showed superior pow-
er last week when she whipped down
Texas Tech 19-7.
Tho Rico squad lost many touch-
down chances by fumbles but sho
pushed across enough points early in
tho gamo to const to tho 10-7 victory.
