^ The sporting situation, in rela-
tion to football, that is, is clearing
up somewjiat for the predicting
masters, and although it is still
a bit muddy in some circles, X hope
that this week's column wiU prove
to be somewhat more accurate in
its predictions (thank you Mr_ Wil-
liamson). If it weren’t for SMU,
gad! What an average I'd have.
In the National polls, Notre
Xjame finally faded out along with
t^urdue, and in their places, the
ratings were something like this:
Army, Okla., SMU, Kentucky, Cal-
ifornia, Stamford, Texas, Mary-
land, Ohio State, and Washington.
For alt concerned, it would have
been better last Saturday if Texas
had played the Oklahoma Aggies
and. SMU had played Oklahoma,

Shades of the Southwest Con-
ference! It looks like the hardest
games are played with the tail-
enders. Just look what happened
last week.
A reign of invincibility extend-
ing over four years shook and
wavered perilously Thursday after-
noon; and not until six plays be-
fore the games’ end did the PIKA’s
forge ahead of the scrapping Min

different, with SMU probably h» to squeeze out a narrow <W)
first position* with Texas still
in third.

In Fred William’s column in the
Austin American, there have been
several mentions of bad calls that
might 'have been instrumental in
the Longhorns losing last Satur-
day. Be that as it may, the official
score read Okla. 14, Texas 13, and
no amount of griping or compen-
sating for a loss at the hands of
fP very strong dub is going to
change that. It is indeed indica-
tive of very poor sportsmanship for
that continual harping.
* * *
The Pirates appeared to have
slowed down a bit last week in the
line play, a factor which showed
up in a minus net yardage rush-
ing in the last two quarters, while
Jfoeir opponents, the Tarpons from
Corpus, rolled to several touch-
downs. This week’s encounter with
Howard Payne stands Xo be one of
the outstanding games of the sea-
son, the rivalry between the two
clubs second only to that between
ing strongly behind our club will
McMurry and the Pirates.
Standing strongly behind our
club wiU certainly go a long way
to spoiling defeat for the YeKow-
gfepkets, and a much-needed vic-
tory for the Bues^
* * *
In the prediction department
(something people should not be
in) things will be rough, but
shouldn’t be . quite as rough as last
week. In an attempt to secure a lit-
tle better average quite a number
of gams will be picked this week,
since Williamson’s column came
1a little earlier than usual.
It should be Army over Harvard
by some four touchdowns, 34-7.
Likewise with OU over Kansas
State only more so, 41-6,
SMU will run into a little trou-
ble with the Owls down in Hous-
ton, but it’ll still be the Mustang’s
ball game 33-13.
Kentucky' will run its winning
streak to six by defeating Villan-
sw. by three touchdowns, 20-0.
California Golden Bears will
roll over Oregon State, 32-0.
Out in Los Angeles, Stanford will
win over the UGLA Bruins, 21-13.
Texas shouldn’t Wave too much
trouble in defeating the Arkansas
Razorbacks by a score of some-
thing: like 27-20.
Maryland will drop a close con-
test to North Carolina, 20-14.
£0hio State will run over the
Minnesota Gophers, 32-6.

win. The big golden team inarched
down tQ the Preacher's goal sev-
eral times; but each time the in-
spired team held until their nine
exhausted men finally bowed in
the wanning minutes, ending a
terrific goal line stand. But the
outcome of the game was not as
important as what it (coupled with
tBfe PiKA’s gabge with the Phis)
indicated . . .Tit looks like the
handwriting on the wadi for the
once-mighty PiKA legions.
In Monday’s game, the Phis
smashed back into the win column
by pushing the hapless KA’s fur-
ther into the cellar.
Tuesday afternoon's tilt also pro-
duced surprising results, as the
up-and-coming Sigs fought the
highly favored Independents Jto
something less than the predicted
drubbiing. The two- evenly-matched
teams strugged all over the field
until the Barbs captalized on a
blocked punt to score a _ fourth
quarter touchdown and £o on -to
win 6-0.
More news of importance. The-
Independent “A” entry has be£ft
dropped from competition because
there were not enough players in-
terested to compose a-teaem All
former “A” players are allowed
to play on the “B” team, which
will now be called jqst plain In-
dependents. Teams having games
scheduled with the “A”s will be
given byes. Folowin^1 are the cir-
cuit standings as 6f Wednesday,
the 18th.

The Preachers ha^de one threat-
ening offensive drive early in the
initial period, but after it faded,
the game settled back to a run-
ning battle defense on their part.
The PiKA machine looked like its
former self only in spots, as Eldon
Mays’ artistic flipping moved them
all over th> field except into pay-
dirt. Finally with the score still
Washington will be victorious in
its contest with Illinois, 21-0.
Texas Tech will lose its fourth
straight in SWC competition, with
Baylor doing the duties by 20 7.
The Farmers or Sharecroppers, as
they are affectionately known,
are proving a great surprise to the
sporting world, in winning more
than they are losing for the first
time in a decade nearly, so I’ll
string along with the Aggies over
TCU 33-7.
For the Pirates, it is a sad duty
to pick them as the underdogs to
the Yellow jackets, but this has to
be scientific: HP 20, SU 14.
The gymnasium is resounding
to a new set of sounds this week.
First there is a staccato sound of
trip hammer blows being deliver-
ed, then a sound somewhat resem-
bling the crushing of an egg, then
all is quiet save for the souni of
peacefully chirping bins punctu-
ated by an unnatural appearai ce
of stars, whirling around the cran-
ium of some hapless member of
the student body. The boxing
squad has begun workouts!
The first public appearance of
the squad will be in the early part
of November when the ever-pop-
ular “Smoker” will be staged.
Anyone desiring either to enter the
Smoker or to absorb a little box-
ing know-how, is invited to meet
with the boxers any afternoon In
the gym between five and six.
Blitz Griffin will be acting as
boxing coach. “I don't know much
about it,” Blitz hastened to ex-
plain, “But I’ll be glad to teach
anybody what little I know about
it,” he added
0-0 and only minutes remaining,
the PiKA began a powerful run-
ning game to drive to the Preach-
er’s 15. There, the tiring Preachers
dug in until Mays flipped to sub
end Matt Dees in the flat, and
Matt out ran two backfield de-
fenders to hit the glory road. The
conversion failed and five plays
later the game ended 6-0.

The first half contained no ex-
tended scoring threats as each
team concentrated on the
fensive, but after the second
kick off, the Phis began to roll.
Two runs brought the ball to their
30 yard line and then Bobby Hayes
>crossed the KA backfield up, as
Carol Harris slipped through the
secondary to snare Bobby’s toss on
the KA 10 arid scamper across for
50 yards and a touchdown. The
conversion failed as an attempted
p$3s was knocked down. .
The KA’s began to even things
in the fourth quarter as Tom Clark
passed and received to bring the
ball down to the Phi ten. Two end
sweeps by Clark brought the ball
down to the three. And just as a
KA touchdown appeared certain,
John Cardwell gathered in a badly
directed pass and sDed all the way
up the field to pay dirt, turning
the tables completely. Bobby Hayes
fired high into the air and Stix
Pennington went even higher to
score the extra point and put the
Phis ahead 13-0. Minutes later, the
whistle sounded the game’s end
with the KA’s still striving to
score.
IN DEPENDENTS 6, SIGS 0
Observers at Tuesday’s fray were
treated to one of the year’s best-
played and closest tilts, as the
Barbs engaged the fighting Sigs.
Both teams moved slowly in the
initial period, feeling out each
othei'3 weapons. Then the Sigs be-
gan to roll toward the Indepen-
dents goal, but time ran out as the
half ended with the Sigs still
knocking at pay dirt’s door.
After the rest period, the Sigs
took up where they left off, but
the Barbs’ mammoth line tightened
and the second half settled down to
a seesaw mid field battle, featured
by sharp line play (ouch! I know).
Near the end of the third quarter,
Moon McMillan kicked out on the
Sigs twenty, and the Sigs tried to
out-strategize the Barbs with a
first down quick kick, but the
trickery failed as one of his own
men accidently blocked Dewey
Baker’s kick. The Barbs took over
on the Sig ten as the last period
began and tried to push across a

INTRAMURALS
By LOIS MCCKJLEKOY
Those sprained fingers and an-
kles a few of the girls have been
sporting around the campus have
all been in an attempt to get ready
for the Intramural Basketball
Tournament which begins Monday.
Ail of the teams had a good deal
of hard practicing the past two
weeks. A few practice games have
d(*#rbcen played, and the indication is
that the Tri Delts and Indepen-
dents will have strong teams again
this year. All the teams have new
material and an accurate predic-
tion of the outcome of the tourna-
ment is impossible; therefore, all
eyes will be watching for a dark
horse.
In a scrimmage game Monday,
the Tri Delts defeated the ADPi’s
by the score of 13 to 4. Both teams
played hard ball, and a few more
practices should iron out the rough
spots. There is another practice
game schedule between the DZ’s
and the Phi Mu’s, which should be
very interesting. The Zeta’s have
not lost many of their old players
and with new material should play
good ball.

score. After several runs powered
to the two, Paul Rader shot a pass
to Herman Humble in the end
zone. The “point after” try was
smothered, but thfe Barbs led 6 0.
The Sigs stormed back, fighting
against time, hut the breaks seem-
ed to go the other way as Baker
dropped a Barb punt in the sun
and the Barbs recovered on the
Sig five. But the Sigs dug in and
held their foes there. By this time
the clock had nearly expired, and
a desperate flurry of Sig passes
failed as the huge weight superioty
of the Barb forward wall began
to take effect. Seconds later it
was over and the Barbs had won
6-0 to go ahead unsorced upon in
their quest for the championship.
Next week the league should be-
gin to shape up, so if you want to
see the crucial contests slugged
out, trot up behind L. K. and see
if I am right. I was correct in all
the games last week, but—well,
here goes next week.
.Now get this!! Away out on a
limb, I’ll take the Sigs to end the
PiKA regime! I hope I don’t put a
jinz on the Crimson Tide, but that
is the way it looks from past per-
formances. Tuesday the Barbs
should roll over the Phis, and the
Preachers should fall before the
Sigs on Thursday afternoon. Any
way, we’ll see.

Pirates Unable to Stop i
Strong Tarpons n \
Southwestern University’s hap-
less Pirates, riding old lady luck
into the ring once more, fell before
a strong University of Corpus
Christi eleven last Saturday night,
in a contest which for the first
time found the Pirates being out-
classed in every category. In the
;• rushing department, the Tarpons
led 90-49. In the passing picture,
it was even worse, 165 15, the fif-
teen yards coming on the next to
last play of the game, the Buts'
only completion of the night. With
first downs, the Tarpons led 9-6.
The whole story can be summed
up in almost one name, that of
Harry Hanaler, who led the Cor-
pusites with his great passing and
tricky running. Hansler passed for
the Tarpons’ first touch, was in-
strumental in securing the second,
and passed for 43 yards to grain
the untying touchdown.
In the last quarter, which spell-
ed defeat for the Bucs, the Tar-
pons really hit their stride, hold-
the Bucs to minus twelve yards
rushing, while their strength came
on the 82 yards pasing which
they picked up in the same quar-
ter.
For the Pirates, their moments
of glory were set up by a blocked
punt in the first kuarter, and a
ninety-five yard kick-off runback
by Leo Chafin in the opening of the
third quarter. It was hard to tell
who clocked Hansler’s punt, for
the entire Southwestern line was
thru to get into the backfield,
however, it was Jack Searcy who
picked up the attempted quick
kick and raced eighteen yards for
the score, one which kept the Bucs
in the lead for the entire first half,
the half ending 7-6.
The Tarpons’ tally in the first
half came after a sustained drive
had carried for 83 yards, shortly
after the Pirates had driven down
within sight of the promised land
on a drive which failed to mater-
ialize. Three passes from the arm
of Hansler ate up fifty-five of the
yards gained in the drive, with the
third pass culminating the drive.
Kirgy’s kick-off to open the third
quarter was taken by Chaffin on
his own five yard line and ertumed
the length of the field for the
score behind some of the best
blocking of the night, with Leo
making what little wasn’t there
already with some beautiful run-
ning. Most of the S.U. partisans
settled back with this seven point
lead raiber prematurely, for from
that point on, the Tarpons really
put on a show.
White’s kick off was taken by
Jones on his 14 and returned all
tne way to the Pirate 35, almost
breaking loose for a touch. From
the 35, Hansler, Jones and Kirby
carried to the one yard line, with
Blythe going over for the score.
Kirby’s extra point attempt was
good, tying the game, thirteen all.
Midway in the last quarter, the
Tarpons’ last score was set up by
a fumble by Walter Peterson,
which was recovered for the Tar-
pons by Holdnak on his own 26.
From this point, Jones lost two
yards, and Hansler passed 34 yards
for a first on the Buc 42. Two plays
later, still on the 42, F^ansler pass-
ed deep to Clarence Peterson, who
took same on the Buc 12 and car-
ried over for the final tally of
tne game. Kirby’s PAT was
blocked by Castanon, and the Tar-
pons went into the lead for the
first time, 19 13.
For the Pirates, the entire for-
ward wall looked good, frequently
dropping Hansler and company for
losses. Offensively, Chafin was the
big gun.
