Bedford Is Star.
The rare genius of Gene Bedford
veteran Mustang wtngman is snar-
ing the forward flings of StoDenwerck
and of Reisor was the outstanding
feature. of the Dallas contest. Ev
ery major triumph which the Math
odiits have gained in the past two
seasons nas been ascribed totne abil-
ity of Bedford to receive passes. In
the game last Thanksgiving day in
wdico tne Mustangs wrested tne ti
tie wreath from Baylor's brow. Bed
ford's work on the receiving terminal
vi passes was me determining lea
ture of the battle. Acainst the Long
horns a week ago it was Bedfortfs
catch of a third period pass which
made a Mustang victory possible.
Saturday against Dana Bible's team
Bedford speared the pass which save
8. M. U. ita only touchdown and just
aa tne imai curtain leu uene the
grabber clutched a toss sod rsn to
the Aggies' 1-yard line only to have
his great feat neutralised by the tim-
er's nistol shot which marked the end
or the struggle.
Penalties freouently thwarted the
efforts of both teama. Some of the
most threatening passes the Mus
tangs made were called back and Den
alties inflicted while the Aggies' most
powerful drive down the field was
stopped short when a penalty forced
Wilson to punt. The Aggie line play-
ea ua usual oriinant game and opened
up right of ways for many Farmer
lunges but a record of 10 passes
completed for a net gain of 177 yards
prevented the Aggie forwards from
being the big factor in the outcome
tnat waa expected.
Owls Ars Fighting.
The Owls learned one leason in
their victory over the Horned Frogs
which should be of great value. After
the Christians hsd forged to the front
in the first half the Owls came back
to win in the Utter stares' of the
game by staging an unfaltering fight.
mere nave oeen times wnen a Kice
team calloused by the a tins of suc

Coach Heiaman and hie ltnti
have inspired a fighting spirit in the
nuii-D win so iar owara masing
a creditable showing in the big gamea
which the Owls now fsce. The In-
stitute line in soite of the reenne
of the units and the newness of the
Heisman system is rapidly developing
iiiiu lurminaoie ramnarr. wirn Ale.
Vey the powerful and nromisins re
cruit snd I'lrich veteran out of the
game because of sickness the Owl
forwards repeatedly stopped Cantrell
noney anu Adams in tbelr plunges at
Fort Worth Saturday. The defense
against the forward pass waa also
more puncture-proof than in the early
season gamea.
The addition of punch In the back-
field is Coach Heisman's greatest
problem. The crippling of Paul Ho-
culi before the season started took
out of action one of the fastest of
the Owla' prospective shock troops
while the injury of Grsndpa Wood
which is now about healed has taken
irom the ranks of regulars a prom
ising sophomore.
opeed with some brawn is a neces
sary attribute of a star backfield
man and the Owl coaches have onlv
average fleetness among their backs.
l rom Coacn IMcholsons freshman
squad will graduate a half dozen
backfield men of promise for the next
tall eleven but their arrival will be
several months too late for issistance
this last month of the 1!)24 cam
paign.
Leajhorns Surprise.
The Longhorns who will meet the
Uwls at Bice field Saturday sprun
surprising passing
same to hn d
Florida to a 7 to 7 tie. With such
regulars as Captain Marley Newell
Pfannkucke Shearer Slover and
Wright out of the starting lineup it
was expected that the strong invaders
would pile up a big score but Florida
fumbles coupled with the well work-
ing passing combination of Blue Smith
to Stokie Allen and the work of 8hn-
hardt on the offensive and Karey Ber-
ry on the defenae saved the day fer
the Orange and gave the Steere a new
hope that the season would not be s
complete failure.
Kangaroos Conquer.
The absence of Coach Frank
Bridges who waa reported to have
scouted the Mustang-Aggie game at
Dallas may have caused the Bears
to believe that the Kangaroo gams
was a setup. With Bridges on the
side lines to send in instructions by
occasional substitutes and with the
head coach to deliver his between-the-acts
talk it ia possible that Baylor
would have overcome the touchdown
lead Austin college made at the open-
ing of the game.
Several timea the Bears worked the
ball to within the ahadow of the
Kangaroos' gosl line but the final
punch to nut over the touchdown
which would have turned the tide was
not produced.
Evidently holding back their offense
lest the scouts of the Oklahoma uni-
versity should learn the secrets of
their assault the Sooner Aggies won
by two touchdowns over Phillips col-
lege Saturday. Against Mississippi
the Arkansas Razorbacks gained a
20 to 0 victory and again the colors
of the Southwestern conference were
raised above those of a team of the
Southern association.

Football stvlsa are ateadilv chanr.

With big money playing such an im

there will always exist the menace
of scheming individuals trying to "fix"

Bobby Jones Is not only the nation
al golf champion v but an exception in
amateur competition. Come to think
of it I've never read golf articles un-
der Bobby's name nor have I seen his
indorsement on pipes or chewing gum
or countless other things that many
ol our beat known amateur golfers
snd tennis stars grace with thelij
monikers.
Jones has refused flattering offers
to write signed stuff. He expects to
hold to this rule ss long as he en
gages in tournament golf. The young
Georgian plays only for ths love of
tnegsme tne reel amateur spirit.
WTien Bobby won the play-off for
tne national open title at Inwood in
1U2S not a single professional rea ret
ted his victory. Bobby had not en
croached upon their means of liveli
hood by means of s subterfuge.
In this period of commercialised
sport when any one wants to know
about real amateurism he nnlv will
need to glance st the career of Bobby
j ones.
Look like a hard winter for the
champions. Indoor arenas are too
small for the few title bouts thst
might be made while other opposition
for the champions ian't attractive
enough for the promoters to do any
iancy mooing.

In all the veara that Rie haa nlav

nao excellent chances. The prospects
for a victory this year are perhaps
ueuer man previously. Wltb the nat-

fight tbe Owls should do creditably
against the Longhorns.
"Doleful Toc'r Stewart of Texss
hss not aa yet sent out anv of his

Heisman will more than likely give
