MATCH POWER WITH POWER
Cucro's wmieifeatefl GeWere
and Edna's unbeaten Cowboys
lay their perfeet 4 wins and no
losses records on the line to-
night in Gobbler stadium to
continue a grid rivalry that
dates lack to 1916.
~r Game time ie 8 p.m., with the
^JargnM crowd of the season ex-
“rjpecicd to fill the stands to capa-
jjjcity.
22 And the reasons for am anti-
Mcipated full house are obvious:
mboth Cuero and Edna have won
*£four and lost none, the teams are
"evenly matched and the game
<** has been designated as one of
£Zthe top ten on the Texas gridiron
^calendar this week.
1“ Gobbler Coach Langdon
"Smith said today his team is
"In top shape, with the exception
UTot .Horace Parks. guard, who
T3W1T probably be confined to
,-.limited action because cf a
♦ sprained ankle received in the
’ Gonzales game last week. A
second Gobbler. second strfng
center Homer Smith, is not ex-
pected to sec any action. He has
been a victim of the flu and
failed 1o make any workouts
this week.
To offset Cuero's disadvantages,
Ivina Coach Luther Hamilton has
two headaches of his own.
Right Halfbark Rudy Mesa.
110-pound starter from the 1956
Cowboy lineup, will be out of
the game with a tom ligament
suffered last week.
A second starter on the 1957
squad, guard Dickie Vt’iegand,
may see limited action only. He
Is still recuperating from a
tom ligament sustained several
weeks ago.
Although Mesa Is out of the
picture, the Cowboys will still
field five starters from last
year’s team. Four of them are
Cowboy standouts.
Edna fullback Freddy Germer,
195 pounder, is expected to be a
thorn in the Gobbler side with
his lv>rd running. He also plays
defensive end.
A''■—i b g cogs in the Edna
whec' are Eddie Maseheck, 160-
potnvl halfback; quarterback
Harrison Stafford, 140-pound
youth up from the B team;
guard Hunter Thomas, who also
plays defensive end; and 180-
pound Charles Browning, a
tackle who doubles as lineback-
er on defense.
lloth the Gobblers and Cow-
boys are known for their fine
defensive records.
Cuoro has allowed only 19
points and Edna 13. The locals
have scored 121 and the visitors
99. ,
The Gobblers claim wins over
Karnes City. Yoakum, Flores-
ville and Gonzales, while Edna
has gained victories over Gana-1
do. Bay City, St. Joseph's of j
Victoria nnd Yoakum.
Since Cuero nnd Edna first j
met on the gridiron 41 years j
ago, Edna has won 20 games, i
Cuero 13 and four tilts ended in j
lies. Since 1916, the teams
have failed to meet in only four j
Reasons—1918, 1920, 1922 and i
1923.
Edna has scored a total of
422 points in the 37-gamc series,
while Ctero was held to 270. Of
the 37 games played one nr the
other, or both squads were held
scoreless in 22 of the contests.
Out of these 22. the teams bat-
tled to M ties twice.
The Gobblers turned In their
biggest win over an Edna elev-
en in 1954 with a 40-0 trouncing.
Edina’s biggest win came in 1930,
a .KM9 win.

Southern Methodist's tnis-rat-
«S Mustangs, wko’v* crossed up
the dopestoro In their first two
starts, hope they don't fool them
tonight when they get a big
Southwest Conference foe
weekend under way In the Cot-
ton bowl against Missouri.
Coach Bill Meek’s young,
spirited Ponies won against the
odds against California and tied
touted Georgia Tech, also a-
gainst the odds.
This time, they are 28-pofeit
favorites to trip Missouri—a club
that fell before the Texas Ag-
gies 28-0 last Saturday.
The SMU-Missouri contest
will serve as a warmup for Sat-
urday’s big schedule that will
find Texas and Oklahoma
locking horns for the 52nd Ume
in the afternoon prior to four
other night games. The Sooners,
working on a 42-game winning
streak and victors in eight of
their last 10 starts against Tex-
as, will be 22-point favorites.
Beytor Bdked —
In the night games, Baylor Is
fnvored by three points over Ar-
kansas in the only title clash on
the program at Waco, the Ag-
gies are favored by 13 over Hou-
ston at Cbllege Station. Tcxns
Christian by 11 over Alabama
at Fort Worth and Duke by one
over Rice at Houston.
Thus, the conference is fav-
ored to again come out on the
long end of the count against
outsiders by a three-to-two mar-
gin. And. the point-spread on the
Rice game is so slim that it
would occasion no great sur-
prise if the potent Owls turned
up victorious, too.
Only Texas appears to have
little chance of victory. Okla-
homa has dominated their tra-
ditional rivalry in recent years
with five straight triumphs and
seems just about ns powerful as
ever against a definite sop-
homorish tendency to costly mis-
takes on tie part of the l/>ng-
horns.
The odds-mnkers must have
figured that Baylor Coach Sam
Boyd would find the remedy for
the leaky line piny that saw hla
big forwards give up an awe-
some 388 yards rushing In los-
ing to Miami last week.
Same Type Club —
Arkansas has just the same
type of quick-hitting outfit as
Miami nnd has the impetus of
a sound victory over TCU last
week, as well. Arkansas, how-
ever has not beaten Baylor at
Waco since 1904.
If Duke is to beat Rice, the
Blue Devils will have to throw
up a defense to halt a versatile
one-two paas run punch that has
averaged practically 500 yarda
a game in victories over I/>ul»-
i«w® State mi Stamford. The big
question will be Rice’* defenae.
Big, but slightly inconsistent
TCU will have the me of its
hard-driving wheelhorse full-
back, Buddy Dike, for the first
time in three games as the Frogs
renew a fairly new rivalry with
Alabama. The Frogs will be on
ths rebound after last week’s
loss to Arkansas,
TROTTERS IN

n
Christian, Ark.
Chilton. Rice
A two-yard end run good for
a touchdown and the extra point
broke a 13-13 tic with a minute
to play and gave the Edna I
team a 30-13 win over the Cuero
Trotters in Edna Thursday night.
Thursday's loss gave the Trot-
ters a 1-1 season record, the
Cuero eleven winning over Gon-
zales in the opener two weeks
ago.
Cuero scored first on a 75-yard
sprint by Tommy Kennedy In the
first quarter, but Edna waa
quick to follow up with a long
pass down the middle that netted
the boat their first TP.
Edna kicked the extra point.
The first quarter ended with Ed-
na leading 7-6.
Shortly before the end of the
first half, quarterback Knute
Kletze hit Kennedy with a touch-
down pass. Dietze made the con-
version and score at halftime
read CUero 13, Edna 7.
A break >>f the game in the
third quarter gave Edna the ty^
ing touchdown. A Cuero jump
pass waa intercepted and car-
ried 40 yards to the goal line.
This TD ended scoring until
late in the fourth quarter.
Five minutes before the final
whistle sounded Kennedy again
broke away but hia 50-yard gal-
lop to pay dirt waa called back
on a Cuero clipping charge.
Turning in outstanding play
for Cuero were Kennedy, Dietze
and lineman Sydney Ray.
Coach Martin Ileame's Trot-
ters have an open schedule un-
til October 31, when they meet
Port Lavara In Cuero.
