ing Kappa Alpha, lti-7, on the
next to the last day of the sea-
son-
Kappa Alpha was previously un-
'..■aten while Theta Chi had one
> on their record.
The two squads played bone-
crushing football. Hoth moved the
ball well, but long pass plays
proved the winning margin for
Theta Chi.
James Hatch passed to Kenneth
Mr.N'abb and Gerald Pevehouse for
the two Theta Chi touchdows. Ray
Kincher racked up a Theta Chi
safety, catching KA quarterback
Charles Terry behind his own goal
line.
Terry passed to Calvin Lee for
the lone Kappa Alpha score.
Kappa Sig Loses
Stubborn Kappa Sigma sub-
mitted to 1'hi Kappa Sigma, 7-0.
Kill MeClellan scored the Kappa
• .iig touchdown on a circus catch
on the 10-yard line, then ran over
unmolested. The pass for the extra
point failed.
Homer Evans took a 20-yard
Chaney Miller pass to score the
Phi Kap tally. Then J.L. Hyatt
t"ok Miller's pass for the winning
extra point.
One-I'oint Marvin

a single point, 13-12, over the
Geerles on an extra point scored

Three games Thursday closed
nit the season's play.
Cpsets, slugfests, and rough and
tumble football were the rule
Wednesday as the last week of
regular season independent 'mural
plcy neared its end.
In the upset of the season, West
dorm did the seemingly impossible
as they clipped the Angels 14-13.
They built up a 14- 5 lead early in
the fourth quarter and fought off
the Angels' desperate bid for a
last-minute victory. The Angels
scored with less than two minutes
remaining in the game to narrow
the margin 14-13, as Jerry Mor-
ton nabbed a short pass for the
score.
First Wood
First blood was drawn in the
opening period as West dorm de-
fenders caught an Angel ball car-
rier in the end zone on the open-
tig kickoff. However, the Angels
ED GRAY AND HALL BYRD have been named lineman-of-the-
week in the MVC. Vernon Cole, Abner Haynes, and Bill Groce
have received similar honors as baclc-of-the-week.
Flock Adds Another
To MVC Honor Roll
Tackle Edgar Gray became the
fifth Eagle player to receive con-
ference recognition in eight weeks
of play.
Gray was named lineman-of-the-
week for his performance against
Wichita. Despite Wichita's up-
setting victory over North Texas,
(iray aided in holding the Wheat-
shocks to 95 yards rushing.
The 235-pound senior is the
second lineman to receive the hon-
or. End Hal Byrd was also named
llneman-of-the-week after the !
Brigham Young game, which the
Eagles won 12-6.
Three of the Eagles' starting
backfield have been picked «s
backs-of-the-week.
In the first game of the season
quarterback Vernon Cole received
i the honor for his play against
i Texas Western. Cole directed the | tion by a three-man committee
Flock to a 2(5-8 victory over the
Miners as he completed 13 of 18
passes for 110 yards.
Fullback Bill Groce made the
Eagles' victory over Tulsa possi-
ble when he raced 39 yards for a
last-quarter touchdown. This run
helped in selecting him for the
award.
Abner Haynes also made the
honor roll for his performance
against Cincinnati, with whom the
Eagles tied, 8-8. Haynes continued
I his usual break-away running, in-
cluding a 51-yard kick-off return.
Men are chosen for the honor
j after each week of competition. A
back and a lineman from each
team in the conference are nomi-
nated, and a list of these nomina-
tions is sent in to the MVC head-

Eagles Can Expect
A Few Old Faces
In Houston Game
There will be some familiar
faces in both lineups Saturday
night when the Cougars from the
University of Houston come to
town to challenge the Eagles.
Three pairs of gridsters on op-
posing teams were teammates on
the high school gridiron.
John Darby and Houton's Har-
old Lewis will vie at the right
halfback slots. At Pampa high
school Lewis backed up Darby in
the backfield when the two played
together. Both are speedy seniors
this year. However, Darby may
see limited action against his form-
er teammate due to an injury.
Eagle Bruce Simmons will face
two fellow gridsters when Hogan
Wharton and Jim Colvin hit the
field. Wharton and Colvin alter-
nate at the tackle posts and Sim-
mons is a reserve guard. The
boys shared positions at Orange
in their high school days.
Another twosome, but one that
will not meet in action, is the
Eagles' Dick Hamilton and Hous-
ton's Lonnie Holland. Hamilton
suffered a broken arm in the
Brigham Young game and has
been out of action since. Holland
is the Cougar quarterback. Both
boys played together at I'lainview
high school.
"'The squad seems to be doing
better as a group this year. We
have accelerated the defensive
play considerably, and we are also
preparing to go against a large
variety of
Wednesday.
"As a group the boys are better
ball handlers than they were this
past cage season. We are still
pretty rough on fouling, but em-
phasis on this is expected to bring
them down quite a bit."
Last year the Eagles were rated
ninth in the nation in total num-
ber of defensive fouls.
Stress on Free Throws
Shands also stated that work
was being done to keep the free-
shot average high. In last sea-i . . . t
, , • *r ii i heaviest of tin
son s rugged Missouri valley con- |
ference, the Eagles posted a high
average for charity goals by mak-
ing 63.1 per cent of their shots.
Shands is also well pleased with
his junior college transfers. He
stated that "three out of the four
have a very good chance of mak-
ing the starting team." One of the
transfers, Jim Mudd, has missed
almost two weeks of practice be-
cause of illness, however.
In the guard department things
are looking very good for the
Eagle cagers.
Leading the list is Ken Hinklc,
Pampa, who not only led the team
in scoring last year but was named
to the all-conference second team.
Another prospect returning from
last year's team is 5-foot 8-inch
Rod Byrd of Fort Worth. Emmett
Baker is the tallest of this group,
the starting slots pretty tough,
Shands indicated.
Tall Centers
In the race for the center posi-
tion are four strong contenders.
ent Cummins is havig trouble los-
ing enough weight to keep up with
the slimmer boys, the coach noted.
Many Forwards
At the forward positions are a
number of prospects equally able
to handle the tough slot. In this
group are Ray Toole of Troup;
Cecil Fickel of Killccn; Ballard
Hopkins of Krum; Bill McLaughlin
North Texas should really receive a lot of publicity in Satur-
day's game with the University of Houston.
At present there are five more requests for pre.is box reser-
vations than there are seats, according Id Dr. James Rogers, dir-
ector of the news service.
Saturday will be the first time the Associated Press has
sent a stall writer to cover a North Texas home game. Bob Ford,
AP state editor, will write the game story, and three AP photog-
raphers will be on the field. AP Assistant Sports Editor Whitey
Sawyer will be at the game, but not in the pie s box. lie is settl-
ing for a seat in the stands just so he can see the game.
Other Coverage
Other news coverage will lie handled by Cnited Press Inter-
national news service. The Houston Post, Houston Press, and Hous-
ton Chronicle are all sending sports writers to the game.
More local coverage will be by the Fort Worth Star-Tele-
gram, the Dallas Morning News and tin- Dallas Times-Herald,
and the Denton Record-Chronicle.
Radio stations that will broadcast the game are KTRH of
Houston, KDNT in Denton, and possibly KKI.D in Dallas.
Rogers said that this is the largest press turnout ever made
for a North Texas game.
Can Cougars Lose Four Straight?
Houston started off its season with a bang, winning its first
three games. However, it then met stiffer opposition and lost its
next three contests.
The big question is, "Can Houston lose four straight?" Not
since 1947 have the Cougars lost four in a row. That year Hardin-
Simmons accomplished the feat in handing Houston its fourth
defeat in six games. However, the Cougars went on to lose four
more before the season was over. One of those defeats came at
the hands of North Texas, who downed the Cougars 33-0.
Houston Favored
Associated Press, along with most other forecasters, has
picked Houston as favorites in Saturday's game. AP predicts the
Cougars as one touchdown better than the Eagles, foreseeing a
score of 20-14.
Eagle Rating Falls
Suffering from the upset at the hands of Wichita university,
North Texas dropped from number 53 in the nation to number
72. The highest the Eagles have been rated this season is 47, fol-
lowing their win over Tulsa.
Other Ratings
Houston dropped to number 48 after its 56-7 defeat by Mis-
sissippi. Cincinnati is currently number 52, Tulsa 57, and Wichita,
(58. A win over Houston could put the Eagles quite a bit higher
on the totem pole.
Mudd. Mudd, another transfer who
played his junior college ball at
Moberly, Mo., was named to the
junior college all-American team
last yeai while breaking all scor-
ing records for his school.
Ken Ward of Belton is another
solid contender for the position.
Ward started at the center slot a
number of times last season and
did a good job. lie hits the height j T[„,y

Bowling Instructor
Attends Conclave
Mrs. Betty M. Ness of the
women's division of the health,
physical education, and recreation
department, attended a bowling in-
structors' forum in Dallas Nov.
4-6.
Three nationally known instruc-
tors anil expert bowlers were fea
turcd at the forum. They were
Frank Clause, New Jersey; Esther
Woods, Los Angeles, and Anita
Cantaline, Detroit.

Ed McClelen of Fort Worth. Al
Oglesby of Forsan suffered a
bruised ankle at the start of the
season and has missed a number !
of workouts.
Toole In Versatile
One of the bright spots in j
Shands' routine is Toole, who has 1
been a constant source of bother. !
know that he is going to I
but no one weiiw to know I
where except Shands and he hasn't
committed himself.
In the first public scrimmage
! this year at Homecming, Toole
1 was second in scoring while work-
j ing in the forward position. In
th second scrimmage that was
j open to the public, Toole led bis
team to victory at the center posi-
! tion while leading the scoring with
23 points.
The 6-foot 3-inch senior letter-
man from Troup has been one of
the most versatile athletes to grace
the North Texas floor.
For two years Toole was start-
ing quarterback for the Eagle
gridsters, and at the end of foot-
ball season he would switch over
to basketball. However, having
completed his football eligibility,
he still had another year of bas-
ketball eligibility, and he seems
to be making the most of it.
