~ Reports that Mt. Vernon fans are favoring their
Tigers Friday night by six points are false, as far as we
can determine. We dropped in on the self-styled “foot-
ball capital of Northeast Texas” Tuesday night just to
check.
Now you won’t find any Mt. Vernon residents who
doubt but that the Tigers will defeat Sulphur Springs.
But they are not giving any points.
One fan told us a sad tale of how six of the Tigers
are injured. Said he woefully: “Now if we knew those in-
jured players would be ready for action, then we’d estab-
lish the Tigers as a six-point favorite. But at least their
playing status is questionable.’’
Now we don’t say we disbelieve that six of the Tiger
players are injured, but nevertheless that is an awfully
large injury list for a team that hasn’t seen action in two

Fans in Mt. Vernon were rather upset Tuesday night.
It seems that they fee! they didn’t get a fair shuffle on the
ticket distribution. Many fans were unable to purchase
reserve seats and they took a dim view of the situation.
One thing is assured—one of the largest crowds ever
to invade Mt. Vernon will show up for the contest.
-*- .
Speaking of the large number of local residents due
to pour into Mt. Vernon Friday night for the game, State
Highway Patrolmen Noel Wilton and John Vermillion
have requested that this column warn them to drive very
carefully.
A Certain stretches of road between this city and Mt.
g| ernon are none too good for fast driving, and with the
caravan due to make the jaunt, the hazards are increased.
Fans who can should endeavor to leave as early as
possible to do away with some congestion.
Wilson and Vermillion also caution the motorists to
observe “common sense” rules returning from the contest.
A giant pep rally is planned Friday in the downtown
Sulphur Springs district. Although no definite announce-
ment has been made, it is thought that the students of
the Sulphur Springs schools will parade in the downtown
district, beginning at 9 :00 a. m. and that the rally on the
square will last until 10:00 a. m.
Mac McMullan and his Wildcat band will lead the
matchers and will perform on the square during the cere-
monies. It is thought that the business firms will be asked
to close their doors for the rally. ,
Here and There: The girls basketball team will open
the season here Thursday night when they Engage the
Como High School sextet. The contest will get underway
at 7:00 p. m. in the Wildcat gymnasium. Mac McMullan’s
band will be on hand to furnish music during the inter-
mission. . . . Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Gilreath are among
those pulling for SMU over Texas Saturday. Their son,
-'Charles, a student at Southern Methodist, writes that the
Mustangs will end up victorious. . . . Ward Gober is look-
ing for a ticket to the big game Saturday between SMU
and Texas. He did not obtain one when they went on sale
and now he is desperately seeking to locate one. . . . Inci-
ntally, Ward says the Mustangs will win by 20 points.

Saturday’s 20 to 6 victory over
Purdue. The six-foot-four, 215-
pounder from Santa Ana, Califor-
nia, threw Purdue backs for losses
in five critical spots. He inter-
cepted one pass and played an

consecutive time this season.

Austin, Nov. 1 — Coaches of
teams in the Southwest’s big fot-
ball game of the season — South-
rn Methodist against Texas in
Austin Saturday — actually will
be meeting "for the third time, al-
though both have been tutoring
grid squads for more than 25
years.
You’ll have to go back to the
thirties to find the first time they
sent teams against each other.
Blair Cherry of Texas and Rus-
ty Russell of Southern Methodist
started as high school coaches. It
was while Cherry was at Ama-
rillo and Russell at Masonic Home
in Fort Worth that the two had
teams meeting each other.
And the result was a stand-off

New York, Nov. 1 — Officially,
Norman Van Brocklin is only a
sub with the Los Angeles Rams.
He spells Bob Waterfield when
the Rams’ regular quarterback
needs a rest.
But this sub, Van Brocklin, is
the top passer in the National
Fotball League. Official league
statistics show that Van Brocklin
has completed 84 of 151 attempt-
ed passes for 1,452 yards and 13
touchdowns. The former Oregon
star’s throws have gained an aver-
age of nine and 62-100th yards
per throw.
George Ratterman of the New
York Yanks is the runner-up with
83 completions in 167 attempts
for 1,479 yards, 16 touchdowns
and an average gain of eight and
86-100th yards per throw.
The former leader, Joe Geri of
the Pittsburgh Steelers, in the
third place. Geri has completed
27 of 65 tosses for 556 yards,
four touchdowns and an average
gain of eight and 55-100th yards.
The Yanks’ Zollie Toth is the
league’s top rushing hack with
450 yards in 86 carries. Tom
Fears of the Rams is the number
one pass receiver with 36 catches
for 568 yards.
The Detroit Lions’ Doak Walk-
er and Johnny Lujack of the
Chicago Bears are tied for the
scoring leadership. Each has
tallied 64 points.
—Cherry won one and Russell
won one. Cherry went to Texas as
assistant coach in 1937, and be-
came head mentor in 1947. Rus-
sell went to SMU as assistant
coach in 1945. He became head
man this year.
Today Cherry and Russell are
driving the number 1 and number
7 teams of the nation, with SMU
being number 1.
The game in Austin Saturday
is considered the most decisive
of the year in the Southwest Con-
ference. The winner will become
an overwhelming favorite to take
the championship and be host
team in the Cotton Bowl. Texas
hasn’t beaten Southern Methodist
since 1946, but there are quite a
few players on the two teams who
were around then.
SMU has Bill Richards, a back;
Jim Marion, a tackle; and Neal
r m~ l, u itru. 1 caM iw _
Procter, an end. They missed
years for one reason or another
—the sendee and in the case of
Richards, ineligibility—which ac-
counts for them being on the
squads now. The game is expected
to draw over 65-thousand fans.
There would be twice that many,
but there are no more seats. Me-
morial Stadium has an actual ca-
pacity of 60,130 seats. Four
thousand bleacher seats and 13-
hundred temporary box seats are
beijjg added for the big game
Saturday when Mustang meets
Longhorn.

and untied, jousts with powerful
Baytown the same night with the
District 12 pennant likely to go to
the winner.

with perfect records; with Pampa
having won the most — seven
games — and scored 208 points
while doing so. The City Confer-
ence’s Lamar has won seven games

ALL'S WELL WITH SEWELL—A big reason for improvement in
the University of Texas defense has been the playing of Harley
Sewell at left guard. A first stringer with the defensive platoon,
Sewell is a 210-pound sophomore from St. Jo. Unknown when he
came to Texas, he’ll be known so well before the season ends.

Princeton’s undefeated foot-
■ ball team has been troubled a
couple of times this season by
having only 10 players on the
field.
Tiger Coach Charley Caldwell
says that if it happens again he’ll
! include the 10-man setup as a
reguar play and call it the
! “Bench Keep,"
Adds the Princeton coach: “I’ll
have one man on the bench until
a runner comes past, then send
him out to make the tackle and
; say 'that's my 11th man.”
Hogan Voted
Golfer of Year
By Sports Scribes
(By Aamriated Prena) *
Chicago, Nov. 1—Ben Hogan,
the little Texan who, pulled one
foot out of the grave to climax
a comeback by winning the 1950
National Open Golf Tournament,
has been voted “Golfer of the
Year” by PGA.
Bantam Ben, nearly killed in
an auto collision in February,
1949, received 112 votes in a Pro-
fessional Golfers Association poll
of 173 sportswriters and sports-
casters. Sam Snead was second
with 43.
Snead was the 1949 winner.
Hogan captured the 1948 honor,
the first year of the PGA award.
After his auto mishap, Hogan
was determined to return to the
links, although so badly injured
that for a time it was not known
if he would ever walk again. He
starter his comeback in the Los
Angeles Open, nearly a year after
his ..accident. He tied Sam Snead.
He later lost to Sanri
Among his other tournament fin-
ishes were fourth in the Augusta
Masters, third in the Colonial In-
vitational at Fort Worth, and first
in the Greenbrier Open with a
PGA 72-hole record of 259. Later
came the National Open in Phila-
delphia. Hogan tied with Mangrum
and George Fazio with 287 and
then won the playoff by four
strokes with a sparkling 69.

Texas Christian’s Frank' Struska
played fullback for the Horned
Frogs’ football team for three”
years and did not score a point.
He was used chiefly on defense.
This season Struska was switch-
ed to tackle. And against Texas
A&M, he finally broke into the
scoring column by intercepting a
pass and ambling 40 yards for a
touchdown.

W nervous tensing up for a jolt
every time a rough spot looms in
the road ahead?
Want to enjoy the relaxing feel of
a sure-footed car beneath you, that

Well, sir, ease into a Buick and see

See what a wonderful difference
in level buoyancy coil springs can
make when you have them on all
four wheels, not just the front ones.
Note what firm and solid steadiness
is yours when a full-length torque-

smoothly you stay on course when
the rear wheels can’t help but tun
true.
See what big, low-pressure tires
and Buick's wide rims can do to
pillow your course without jounce
or sway.
In other words, sample this two-
