Rice And Texas Gird
For Crucial Battle
By Allocated Pre««
Instead of “Remember the
Alamu” it is ‘'Remember Hous-
ton 1958” as Texas University
prepares for its big Southwest
Confeience with Rice nt
Houston Saturday night.
The Longhorns got clobhei-
ed at Houston in 19!>8 about its
badly as the Texans at the Al-
amo in 1836. Rue blasted an
undefeated, untied Texas team
34 to 7 and the Longhorns
haven’t fully recovered from
it yet.
And knowing that spirit and
inspiration alone won’t get the
job done, the Steers worked
Wednesday on pass defense.
The Owls have been sensation-
al in the air. And last Satur-
day,, Texas-couldn’t handle the
Arkansas passing game. So
something has to be done. At
kansas gave Texas U. its sec-
ond loss of the season.
Meanwhile, they are getting
ready to put the “standing
room only’’ signs out at Rice
Stadium. More than 65,00(1
tickets already have been sold
and the stadium seats only
70,000. A couple of thousand
bleachers arc to be udded.
Rice doesn’t have a single in-
jury and appears leady. In
fact, the Owls could be posting
a sign of fhei» own like “Re-
member Austin 1050.” Texas
walloped the Owis 28 to 6 that
year.
Texas probably will be with-
out the services of fuilfack Ray
Pouge, who has a hip injury,
but everybody else ought to be
in shape.
Bears Face Jinx
Baylor is the last undefeat-
ed, untied team in the South-
west Conference, and has what
may be called a jinx situation
on its hands this week-end.
The Golden Bears take on
the Cadets of Texas A & M
College in a homecoming game
at Waco. And Baylor hasn’t
won a homecoming game since
1954.
The Aggies, who haven’t lost
a conference game yet. are re-
ported to be having trouble
solving Baylor’s offense in
practice this week. The Aggies,
too, have yet to win u confer-
ence match this season — both
of their games have been ties.
In yesterday’s practice, the
fresljmen used the Baylor of-
fense to advantage against the
varsity. A & M also is fretting
because halfback Babe Graig
isn’t able to work out and like-
ly won’t be available for the
Baylor game.
The Bears are in top shape.
Ponies Try Raiders
Winless Southern Methodist,
phut out in 3 games and scoring
only 7 points all reason, Has'!
reason to worry about its Sat-j
urday game. The Mustangs go
to Lubbock to meet Texas Tech.
The Methodists haven’t been
wide to do much in practice
agairist the Red Raider’s pass-
ing—although showing up very
well at halting Tech’s running
game. The SMU freshmen furn
ished the opposition.
Texas Tech is ready with
halfback Bun Gurley, who has
been hampered by an ankle in-
jury, apparently in top shape.
He has been doing well enough
in practice that Coach Dewitt
Weaver singled him opt for
praise yesterday.
Texas Christian must be ex-
pecting trouble aplenty from
Pittsburgh at Fort Worth Sat-
urday. Coach Ab,e Martin is
shaking up his lineMp-tm+H even
the coaches are going to have
trouble recognizing it The lat-
est moves are to bring senior
left end Milton Ham back to
the starting team, and move
sophomore Richard Holden up.
Martin already had substituted
his entire number 2 backfield
for the starting quartet.
Arkansas, which beat Texas
Inst week, tackles mighty Mis-
sissippi. Coach Frank Broyles
says cpenly that he fears the
ace Rebel passer, Jake Gibbs.
That was the main thing the
Razor-backs did yesterday
work against Gibbs’ passing.
They also worked to throw up
good protection for their own
passer, knowing how those
Rebels rush.

ed Press major league ail-star
team, announced today. Of 192
baseball writers taking part in
the annual poll, 188 named

Two Wildcats
Among Leading
Loop Scorers
Sulphur Springs Wildcats
Larry Blount and Mike Broyles
are among the top five scorers
in 6-AAA District competition
after two full weeks of con-
ference play.
Blount is listed tied with
Bonham’s Gene Patridge for
third place. Both have scored
two touchdowns for a total of
12 points.
Broyles is in fifth place with
a touchdown, extra point kick,
and one field goal to his credit,
which add up to 10 points.
Leading the scoring so far is
Doug Hooten of Greenville, who
scored three touchdowns for 18
points when the Lions downed
Paris 21-0 last Friday.
In second place is Glen On-
ton iii the outfield; Whitey, ley of Mount Peasant with two
Ford of th New York Yankees, touchdowns and two extra point
the southpaw pitcher; and F.r- kicks, a total of 14'points.
nie Broglio of St. Louis, the
right-handed pitcher.
Chicago, Oct. 20 tH—Quite a
while remains before the furor
will start over the college All
America football team. But
Purdue wants it known that it
has a morning line favorite
for the squad — quarterback
Bernie Allen.
The versatile senior has been
doing a brilliant job for the
Boilermakers. He is their top
passer, their top field goal kick-
er and their number one
punter.
In Purdue’s 4 games, Allen
has completed 15 passes in 25
tries. That’s a completion av-
erage of 60 per cent. His
aerials have accounted for 217
yards and 2 touchdowns, and
what’s more only 2 of Allen’s
passes hove been intercepted.
In the kicking department,
Allen has made 2 attempts at
kicking field goals, and both
have been successful. He has
made 14 tries at kicking the
extra point, and he has missed
only 3 of them. In punting, he
lias kicked 14 times for 528
yards and an average of about
40 and a half yards per kick.
Thus «• are mighty impressive
figures.
Last year, Allen was named
junior of the year on Purdue’s
football team, he connected on
4 touchdown passes and did a
capable job as a runner.
Incidentally, Alien is quite a
baseball player. He’s a short-
stop. ■

Dewilt Resigns
Detroit Post
Detroit, Oct. 20 i,f> — The
president of the Detroit Ti-
gers, Bill Dewitt, has resign-
ed after turning down an of-
fer to become assistant to the
president. Dewitt's resigna-
tion comes 9 days after radio-
television executive John Fet-
zer became majority stock
holder in the Tigers and un
nounced he will assume the
presidency.'
Dewitt had 2 years to go on
a 3-year contract that paid
him a reported $50,000 a year.
No announcement was made
on whether Dewitt will be paid
for the remaining 2 years.
He has been under verbal
fire from the Tiger ownership
since the American League
season ended. The club finish-
ed in 6th place after a 4th
place windup last year.
Dewitt was criticized for the
low finish and for the sudden
resignation of field manager
Joe Gordon. The Tigers an-
nounced that executive vice
president1 Harry Sisson will be
in charge of general affairs,
handling a role similar to gen-
eral manager.

New Y'ortc, Oct. 20 —The
New York Y'ankees have a new
manager. He is Ralph Houk,
who has been a coach with the
Y'ankees since 1958. The 41
year old Houk replaces 70 year
old Casey Stengel, who was re-
leased by the Y'ankees Tues-
day.
The announcement of Houk’s
appointment was made at a
news conference in New York
by Y'ankee co-owner Dan Top-
ping. Stengel was not present
ut the conference. Houk’s con-
tract is for one year at his re-
quest.
No announcement was made 1 en UP more than 100 yards in
ground may lie startling, but
the redheaded coach has made
spectacular progress at Baylor.
Bridgeis a year ago took a
club that observers agree was
the smallest and greenest ir
Waco history.
Right now the Bears would
have to be rated as high men
on the totem pole in the crazy-
quilt Southwest Conference.

impress anybody.
Baylor has contributed a full

The best team in pass de-

have permitted only 28 and e

cent of the passes thrown
against Auburn have been com-
pleted. Auburn has intercepted | vet has been unable to wrap up

step in that direction with what
he calls his sprint relay bat-k-
field halfbacks Bull and Good-
win and quarterback Stanley.
Bull—6, 188—a leading All-
America candidate as a junior,
rung the 100 in 9.7. Behind
Goodwin is Tommy Minter, a
broad jumping champion and
9.7 man, and Goodwin beats
-Minter in two out of three wind
sprints.
Baylor lacks a big, power-
house fullback, so does it with
three halfbacks.
When abort yardage ia need-
ed the ball goes to Bull. Play-
ing a tight right halfback, hc-
can go to either side or hit
straight ahead.
Bull is the best everything
among the Bears. He is the
most vicious blocker and pro-
tector of the passer. The rug-
ged individual out of Biahop,
Tex., defends as superbly as
he attacks.
Ronnie Stanley—6*1, 188—
was the second passer in tho
circuit as a sophomore. The
Bears aren’t afraid, to throw
the ball and Stanley's favorite
target is Sonny DuvD, a 6-2,
211 end.
Y'ou don’t find Baylor or
Baylor boys in the first 15'na-
tionaliy in the figures of any
department except in punting,
where Minter averages 41.2

are well balanced offensively
and defensively. •

The National Guard Armor-
ed Rabbits will try to stomp
the Twinkling Toes of the Ki-
wanis Club in a football game
at Wildcat Stadium Friday at
7:30 p. m.
Members of both squads were
out on the field Wednesday,
practicing for the oncoming
battle.
The game has been billed as
a testing ground for many of
the town’s foremost grandstand
quarterbacks, to prove which
ones possess better strategy
and physical stamina than the
others.
Of the 26 Armored Rabbits
who came out for practice, all
are trying out for quarterback,
according to Coach Morris Ab-
ercrombie.
Aburcrorribie has consistently
refused to comment on the stra-
tegy the Rabbits will tike on th4
game. He did say that he would
start the first team, hut he re-
fused to say which players that
would bp. This information is
top secret along with the rest
of the Rabbit strategy, he said.
John Caruthers, one of the
Twinkle Toes coaches, said that
his team will unleash a run-
ning and passing attack featur-
ing the “phantom twist play.”
To prevent too much curnage
in the rugged game, a tackle
will be counted when two hands
of a defensive player simul-
taneously touch the ball ear-
rier.
t Proceeds of the -game Will
be UGnnted to the public school
athletic fund- Tickets are 50
cents for adults and 25 cents
for students. They may be pur-
chased from any Kiwanis, Na-
tional Guard, or Dad’s Club
member, and at the junior and
senior high schools.
The Junior High cheerlead-
ers will divide their squads to
lead yells for both teams. A
volunteer group from the high
school band will play at the
game. -v
Fine football weather is fore-
casLfqr the battle, with a sopth
wind expected to warm up tie
chill of Hie first fall norther,
according to Ralph Hill, local
weather bureau observer.
