COWBOYS DESCEND ON WICHITA FALLS FOR GRID FRAY

By Harper Van Ness
Tho H.-S. U. Cowboys are dubbed
the "little giants" of Texas football
by Charles Burton of the Dallas News
in Sunday's advance notice on the
Friday night East Texas game at
Comcrce. . . . "Hardln-Simmons plays
the strongest .cams it can talk into
signing gamo contracts and can lay
claim to the 'finest football unit in
West Texas until someone proves dif-
ferently" writes this scribe in praise
of Frank Kimbrough's proteges. . i
"Bulldog" Turner's pet Mexican
hairless pup purchased at El Paso
on the Loyola trip is master of the
household at the Turner home in
Sweetwater. . . . Odis Crowell is rear-
ing his in Smith hall. . . . The Leslie
Clary-Flo Caldwell wedding announce-
ment is tho fourth for tho H-S U varsity.-.
. . Frank Selfrldge and "Chink"
Newberry senior guards Clary and
Sid Hubncr ends compose the mar-
ried men's brigade. . . . Major Ralph
Sasse at Mississippi State poses his
married men with canes for the
photogs. . . .
Tho Cowboys' record of 12 straight
victories falls just a little short of
Western Reserve. . . . They chalked
up their 28th straight against Bos-
ton university last week. Their rec-
ord started in tho last three games
of their 1034 season. ... It has con-
tinued up to the present time with
but one tie this by Ohio Wesleyan.
... In their streak the Red Cats
have scored thirteen shut-outs. . .
The specialty of Johnny Garrison
East Texas State Tea'chers college
halfback seems to be running back
kick-offs for toujehdowns. Against
Austin he ran back one for 00 yards
and a touchdown. And against the
Kirksville Missouri Teachers he re-
peated the feat. . . . Only a sophomore
last year he was named on the Asso-
ciated Press little All-America team.
. . . Also All-Lone Star conference.
In the West Texas Prairie Glyn
Riley sports editor writes that Neal
Davis "vigilant puncher wing man"
is rated as the best opposing end the
Buffs have met since St. Benedict's
"Little All-American" Leo Deutsch. . .
And Glyn says of the Cowhands them-
selves. . . . "Those Punchers sure did
have the punch. They had the most
venomous recipe this department has
squinted since Larry Mullins brought
his sparkling St. Benedict's Ravens

Ranchers To Play
First Encounter
Away From Lights
Undefeated Emporia Staters
To Test Fine Record
Of Cowboys
On to Wichita Falls!
The Hardln-Simmons football wars
move close to home next week-end
and the student body and West Texas
followers are preparing to descend on
Wichita Falls almost en masso for
the intcrsectional fray between the
H.-S. U. Cowboys with their fino
record and the undefeated Kansas
State Teachers of Emporia.
After five games under the arcs
the Cowboys will play this one by tho
light of day with the kick-off sched-
uled for 2:30 p.m.
McKlnney Honored
.The day will be Burns McKlnney
day in the home city of the Cowboy's
triple thrcnt menace and by procla-
mation the mayor has set the day
aside as an occasion to honor the
prowess of the Hnrdln-Simmons
glamor boy who will be making his
final collegiate appearance at home.
The Kansas State Teachers are
bringing with them an undefeated
record that looms impressively as a
threat in the reputation of the Cow-
boys as tho "little giants of West
Texas football."
Use Razzle Dazzle
The Kansans specialize in an aerial
"razzle dazzle" behind a forward wall
that is light in spots but features the
play of a 240-pound tackle and other
stalwarts.
Their speedy backfield almost pony
in size is deceptive and fast traveling
and are high scorers de luxe.
The Cowboy record headlining the
nation's roster of undefeated untied
and unscored on elevens for the cur-
rent week has centered national at-
tention for a few days at least on tho
H.-S. U. campus.
Up To Cowhands
It is up to the Cowhands them-
selves to carry on from this point.
That is what their admirers and fol-
lowers .expect them to do.
The Hardin-Simmons-East Texas
Lions fray of Friday night was the
classic bout in the state outside the
Southwest conference and to quote
Frank Tolbert of the Fort Worth
Star-Telegram has "the entire state
wide-eyed with attention."
Next Saturday's game may rank
fully as high. Then comes the unde-i
fcated Fresno State Bulldogs a 3000-
mile round trip to the coast and an
Armistice day game at Fresno.

Hornets Play Tie
Tilts On Home Grid
Two Draws Are Only Games
Emporia Fails To Take
For This Year
EMPORIA Knnsas Oct. 29. -The
new stadium at Emporia State Teach-
ers college has been the scene of only
two games both of which ended in
20 to 20 ties. And these two games
ore tho only ones that the Emporia
Staters have not won so far this year.
In pointing out the unusual "bap-
tism of fire" which the new stadium
received Coach F. G. "Fran" Welch
declared that it was about time the
Hornets were winning a game on the
home field. "Only played two at
home won none tied two and those
tics both by the outlandish score of
20 to 20. Sounds like something for
the books" the Hornet mentor said.
"As far ns the 'lost none' part is
concerned I hope it will continue
through the next two homo games
one with Fort Hays Saturday and the
other with Wichita university Nov.
11. But I also hope they won't be
ties. Our patrons arc beginning to
show signs of heart ailment at these
tie scores' and I don't want to have
any casualties in the grandstand" he
added.

Olympic Foundation
Compliments Team
From W. R. Schroedcr managing
director of the Olympic Athletic
Foundation in Los Angeles comes
this comment illustrative of tho flow
of compliments that continues to ar-
rive on the H.-S. U. campus since the
intcrsectional win over Loyola's
Lions: "Southern Calif ornians are
still talking about the Hnrdin-Sim-mons-Loyola
football game. All who
saw tho contest agree that It was one
bf the most interesting gridiron duels
which was ever fought in this part
of the country. Coach Kimbrough is
to be congratulated for the very fine
team which he has turned out this
year. We'll want to see Hardln-Simmons
out here again" writes Mr.

ities on sports.

Intramural Activities
Swing Into Full Action
With Six Games In Bag
Paced by the spectacular playing of
the Preachers and the Shieks the
intramural touch football league
swung into action at full tilt during
the past week. Six games have been
contested at this writing with the
Preachers and Shieks in a tie for top
spot via two consecutive victories
apiece.
Both combines regarded as "dark
horses" prior to the season's debut
produced amazing upsets in gaining
the pace-setting berth deadlock. A
week ago Friday the Shieks eked out
a 0-0 win over the Physical Education
club in the last 40 seconds of play to
register the biggest upset of the ear-
ly season battles. Tho Shieks follow-
ed up this triumph taking a 12-0 de-
cision from the Mules on Tuesday.
After downing the Jeeps 6 to 0
Monday the Preachers copped a 12-0
verdict at the expense of the Brand-
Bronco nine on Wednesday. The de-
fending champion Phys Ed outfit re-
turned to its old-time form Thursday
afternoon by subduing the Jeeps 21-
0. Yesterday's game scheduled be-
tween the Preachers and the Mules
was canceled because of the B. S. U.
convention at Lubbock.

Coach Clark Jarnagin's freshman
football squad will be striving for its
initial victory of the season when the
Altus Junior college eleven is encoun-
tered next Thursday at Altus Okla.
After three successive setbacks the
Cowboy yearlings are anxiously
awaiting the Altus engagement to
display their real offensive power and
chalk up a triumph for the win ledger.
The latest defeat suffered by the
freshmen was administered by Weath-
erford Junior college last Saturday
night. Inspired by a capacity home-
coming crowd the Weatharford grid-
ders trounced the locals 39-14. For
only seven minutes during the final
period did Hardln-Simmons show any
strength. The entire team appeared
listless against its more experienced
foes throughout most of the fray but
in the closing minutes of play re-
taliated with a pair of touchdowns.
Injuries have kept the frosh from
using its full strength all at one time
so far this year. Dub Teague fleet
halfback has returned to the start-
ing lineup but centers Al Holman
and Smith are still on the sidelines.
It is rather doubtful whether Malley
Chisholm back will see any action.
Chisholm received a broken arm ear-
lier in the campaign.
Coach Jarnagin's rejuvenated line-
up probably will find Johnny Bounds
at center Eho Howell and Jim Le-
Meilleur in the guard slots with Bob
Thompson and Dave Reeves at the
tackles and Bob Cowsor and Rodeo
Parker on the' flanks. Teague Bob
Russ Bill Ford and Ed Thomas are
likely to form the starting backfield.
