Razor backs Hold Tiny Hopes
To Gain Bid To Cotton Bowl
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Oil the shoulders of the downtrod-
den, cellar-dwelling Rice Owls this
Saturday ride the hopes and slim
mathematical chances of the Ar-
kansas Hazorbacks that they, and
not the Texas Christian Frogs, will
wind up in the Cotton Bowl.
But hopes that the Owls, who
have lost five in a row, will take
this week's game are as slim as
the Porkers' mathematical chances
for the bowl bid.
The Christians, one of the loop's
leading powerhouses, are favorites
to bag the Owls and sew up second
place which this year will be good
Tulane Officials
Defend Gridderc'
Academic Courses
NEW ORLEANS Wl—Tulane Uni-
versity athletic officials and aca-
demic authorities today defended
the courses taken by two football
players which provoked an asso-
ciate dean to resign his post.
Dr. Russell M. Geer disclosed
yesterday he resigned as associate
dean of the College of Arts and
Sciences at the beginning of the
fall term. Dr. Geer. who remained
on the faculty as chairman of the
Classical Languages Department,
said he had no other alternative
because he found the school's po-
sition "indefensible."
He denounced what he called
"violations of the spirit" of the
athletic code in that the two play-
ers, who failed out of the Arts
and Sciences College and were
twice refused re-admission, were
allowed to enter the University
College, the adult education and
night division.
Dr. Geer said halfback Otis Gil-
more and quarterback Johnny
Carusp were admitted to the fall
term of the University College and
permitted to carry only 12 semes-
ter hours. Students ordinarily car-
ry no less than 15 hours, he said,
unless they have special permis-
sion.
Gilmore is starting right half-
back while Caruso is one of the
team's top punters.
, for the host's job in the Cotton
Bowl.
Arkansas, with a 3-2-1 record,
has finished its conference play.
The Porkers can now only hope
that all second place contenders
fall flat on their faces between
now and season's finish to end up
with a flock of 3-3 records. Almost
anything can happen in the South-
west Conference, but the Razor-
backs' hopes that every remain-
ing game will be an upset is just
a little bit too much to expect.
The Texas Aggies who appear to
be heading for the championship
will have an inactive role if they
become conference kings. They
have been barred from playing the
Cotton Bowl because of recruiting
violations.
The Frogs Monday had a short
non-pad drill and heard Line Coach
Allie White, who watched Rice
against A&M. praise the Owls as
"a fine ball club, one that is tough
defensively." Trainer Elmer
Brown said the club is "in as good
a shape physically as we have been
all year." The Owls are also due
to be in good physical shape for
Saturday's game at Fort Worth.
There is a possibility senior end
Marshall Crawford may be out for
the season with an injured knee but
the rest of the squad is expected
to be on the field Saturday.
The Owls are counting on prece-
dent to help them against TCU.
In his 16 years at Rice, Coach
Jess Neely's teams never have lost
six straight games. They lost five
straight in 1944 and 1952.
The Baylor Bears, who tangle
with the Southern Methodist Mus-
tangs at Waco Saturday, worked
out until dark Monday with Coach
George Sauer scrimmaging his
charges long and hard on pass
plays. Three Bears—Co-captains
Weldon Holley and Henry Grem-
minger ana halfback Bobby Peters
—are uncertain starters against
SMU because of injuries.
The Mustangs, who haven't de-
feated the Bears in seven seasons,
will face Baylor with a starting
player on their disabled list. All
starters have been ready for pre-
j vious games this year. Missing will
I be Don (Tinyi Goss, who injured
a hip against Arkansas last week,
j The Razorbacks, who meet Lou-
I isiana State at Little Rock Satur-
day, also have a slim chance in
the 'Gator Bowl at Jacksonville,
Fla., as well as the Cotton Bowl.
Arkansas was one of the nine
teams listed as possible contestants
in the Florida New Year's game.
On the list was Tennessee, coached
by Bowden Wyatt, who last season
guided the Porkers to the South-
west Conference championship.
The Texas Longhorns and the
Aggies took it easy Monday. Nei-
ther has a game scheduled this
week. Both squads are due to set-
tle down to tough drills later in
the week in preparation for then-
annual Thanksgiving Day bat-
tle a week from Thursday.
National Golf
College Predicted
HARTFORD, Conn. I/PI — Next
year your son might come to you
with a college catalogue that would
read like this:
"Conduct on the fairways. Two
credits. Classes: Tues-Thurs. Prof.
Thomas Bolt.
"Putting and its importance in
golf. Three credits. Classes: Mon-
Wed-Fri. Prof. Samuel Snead."
Don't laugh. Bob Kay, a Con-
necticut golf pro who is active in
the golfing business, thinks there's
a good possibility a national golf
college will open its doors next
year.
Kay said yesterday the college
is still a proposal, but he sounded
pretty confident it would be ap-
proved by the Professional Golf-
ers Assn., at its annual meeting
in Atlantic City, N.J., next month.

To Stay In Ring
PROVIDENCE. R.I. Ifl—Despite
three straight losses, former
heavyweight champion E z z a r d
Charles is firm in his determin-
ation to continue fighting.
Charles, the 34-year-old Cincin-
nati slugger, lost a close split de-
cision to Toxie Hall of Chicago last
night. Charles weighed 197 to 194',4
for Hall.
"I plan to keep fighting," a dis-
appointed Charles said after the
decision was announced.

Conference Votes
To Send 2nd Place
Club To Cotton Bowl
BRYAN, Tex. Iffl—1The Southwest
Conference has voted to pick the
second place team for the Cotton
Bowl in the event Texas A&M wins
the football championship, Sports
Editor Paschal Price of the Bryan
Eagle said today.
Price, who has been critical of
the conference for barring A&M
from the bowl game if it wins the
championship, said he had learned
that the rule to select a team for
the Jan. 2 game had been set by
a 5 to 1 vote.
Conference officials at Dallas
would not comment and declined to
say how the mail vote had gone.
Best indications are that there will
be no announcement until after the
Texas-Texas A&M game Thanks-
giving Day. A&M can win the
championship by beating Texas.
A&M is barred from the bowl be-
cause it is on probation for violat-
ing the recruiting rules.
Price claims the vote to set a
rule for selecting a bowl team in
the event A&M wins the champion-
ship is illegal and not in accord-
ance with the conference constitu-
tion which requires 30 days notice
before a regular meeting for an
amendment to be voted. A&M was
put on probation last spring.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex. —Betty
Jameson, a veteran of women tour-
nament golfers, says after 25 years
of playing the game she has finally
begun to understand what it's ail
about.
This frank statement by the gal
who set an all-time scoring record
for women over a par 72 course
last winter at Sarasota, Fla.—285
for 72 holes—and who picked up
$11,493.11 in winnings during !ne
year, undoubtedly will have two
different effects on the golfing pub-
lic.
It's encouraging for the duffers,
who have been trying for years tc
break 100. to know there's still
hope. It's heart-breaking to those
who are just taking up the game.
But before golf clubs get tossed
away it should be pointed out that
Miss Jameson, for most of the
quarter of a century, has been
playing the game better than 99
per cent of those who have taken
a divot.
It's in her quest for perfection
that Betty still is learning about
golf.
She has returned home from her
greatest year on the links—not the
most money won but her play was
more consistent. She won lour tour-
naments—Sarasota; the Beaumont.
Tex., Babe Zaharias; the New
Hampshire White Mountain and
the Richmond. Calif., opens — and
j always was in the money. She was
I the only woman pro to play in
every tournament of the cross-
country schedule.
"Approach putting always has
I been my biggest weakness," Miss
I Jameson said. "I've never been
able to master that phase of my
| game. That is why I scored so
erratically at times. 1 tried all
makes of putters and all different
putting theories, but I never could
quite get the feel that gave me
| confidence. Then all of a sudden
the secret of approach putting
| came to me. It was on the 13th
hole of the second round of the
j Clock Country Club Open at Los
j Angeles a few weeks ago. I can't
explain it, but what I've been try-
ing to do for 25 years finally came
to me."
By approach putting, Miss Jame-
son meant the theory of many top
golfers that when a player putts
he should try for a 3-foot circle
around the hole instead of the cup.
Betty said it was hard to get the
idea across to her.
Proof that she tinally had over-
come her so-called weakness came
the next week when she won the
Richmond Open.
Miss Jameson was twice Nation-
al Amateur champion before turn-
ing pro in 1946. She says the wom-
en's golf picture has changed dras-
tically since she deserted the ama-
teur ranks.
"There weren't over a half doz-
en women golf professionals then,"
she said, "and there were only
three or four tournaments. Today
there are between 30 and 35 women
professionals and in 1956 we're go-
ing to have an all-time high of 30
tournaments. We've hired Bob Ren-
tier, a sports writer at Fort Wayne,
to be our tournament manager. 1
really believe that women's pro-
fessional golf is starting a wonder-
ful new era. Our galleries have
been increasing steadily."
Wilkinson Fears
Upset At Hands
Of Comhuskers
NORMAN, Okla. MP)—Some Sat-
urday afternoon a regular season
football opponent will bowl over
th^miighty Oklahoma Sooners with
a crash that will resound through-
out the nation.
Coach Bud Wilkinson, whose
team currently is rolling along
with 27 straight victories and top-
ranked in the country, thinks the
"Big Upset" may happen this Sat-
urday when Oklahoma meets Ne-
braska in a showdown struggle at
Lincoln for the Big 7 Conference
championship.
Nebraska, once the scourge of
the league, hasn't been able to de-
feat the Sooners in 12 years, but
that's one of the things that wor-
ries Wilkinson. In fact, no confer-
ence team has taken the measure
of Oklahoma since Kansas turned
the trick in 1946—or 53 league
games ago.
The tall Oklahoma mentor tried
to explain the possibilities for the
"Big Upset":
"1 don't recall a game in the
time I've been at Oklahoma when
all the factors are so in favor of
a team like they are for Nebras-
ka" to upset the Sooners.
African Giant-
Meets Canadian
LONDON ld>> — Ewart Potgieter,
j the African giant, takes another
I step tonight in his campaign to
prove he's "a fighter and no
freak."
The 7-2, 320-pound South African
defends his unbeaten record
against James J. Parker, who's
something of a giant himself. The
former Canadian cowboy is 6-5 and
weighs 224.
"Pottie"—that's how the ring
world knows him—has won ail nine
of his professional bouts inside the
j distance. A quickie against Parker
could be a short cut to fame and
i fortune.
Negotiations already are under
| way for his U. S. debut, with Rex
I Layne being mentioned as a possi-
ble opponent
Chisox, Red Sox
Discuss Deals
CHICAGO (JPli — Vice President
i Chuck Comiskey of the Chicago
S White Sox said he'll resume nego-
tiations with the Boston Red Sox
\ today in an attempt to pull off a
I baseball deal.
Although Comiskey mentioned no
names, it is believed the White
Sox are seeking shortstop Mill Bol-
i ling and third baseman Grady Hat-
j ton. Boston reportedly wants out-
j fielder Bob Nieman and a right-
! .handed pitcher.
The Sweetwater Mustangs, who
will be at nearly full strength, will
close out hes-fy workouts Wednes-
day for their Friday night game
with the Amarillo Palo Duro Dons,
at Amarillo, and the Mustang fresh-
men will go to Abilene for a tilt
Thursday night with the Lincoln
Junior High ninth graders, in
games scheduled for local teams
this week.
Guard Larry Summers, end Bub-
ba Meyer, and several other Mus-
tangs who have been crippled to
some degree for the past few
weeks, are expected to be at full
strength against the winless but
dangerous Dons. Summers will be
used as a defensive linebacker.
Scout reports state the Dons
have shown great improvement in
their last few starts. They played
Plainview to a standstill, although
losing, 14-7, and were on the Bull-
dogs' two-yard line at the end of
the game.
"The team has a great amount
of hustle and desire," Mustang
coach Elwood Turner stated. "They
have shown that they can move the
ball well against nearly everyone
they have played, and have thrown
a tougtL defense against many of
their opponents."
The Dons, playing their first and
last season in AAA—next year
they will be in AAAA—are coached
by John Reddell, former Oklahoma
University player, and use the
fast-striking Oklahoma split T for-
mation.
Inheriting very few first-line
players from Amarillo High School,
the Dons have one regular, defen-
sive linebacker Frank Brown, who
also plays offensive fullback for
the Dons.
The Mustangs C team, fresh
from its thrilling 21-20 victory over
the previously unbeaten Snyder
freshmen, will meet the tough
Lincoln Junior High team of Abi-
lene. A new school, Lincoln has
played on a par with the other Abi
lene junior teams, North and South
junior high.
Thursday's game will be the im-
al of the season for the junior
Ponies, and they will be shooting
fcr their fifth victory of the sea-
son against three losses. They
dropped close decisions to Snyder,
North Abilene and Big Spring,
while defeating Snyder, Colorado
City twice and Stamford.
The B team, which dropped a m
hard-fought 14-0 decision to the
Lubbock High School B team Sat-
urday, has an open date this week,
closing out on Nov. 23 against the
high-powered Abilene B team here.
