H-SU Pivot Star On
3 Mythical Elevens
Recognition for Bulldog Turner
clulstcned Clyde for three years a
top hand of the Hardln-Slmmons Uni-
versity Cowboys leached a new na-
tional high point today with his desig-
nation by the Associated Pi ess ns the
Little AU-Americn center for 1939.
Though handicapped by injuries in
the late season the Bulldog cut a
wide swath tluough the ranks of early
major opponents of the Ranchers to
win acclaim through climaxed three
seaosns of play that led Coach Frank
Kimbrough of H-SU to brand him
"the best center I've ever couched."
Turner and Ncal Davis weie the
only H-SU sophomores to letter on
the undefeated 1937 eleven. Last
year getting his first starting call in
the' Centenary homecoming game
hcte Bulldog played as a staiting
regular thereafter.
Outstanding 1938 performances
were tho G0-minute stellar game
nguinst Loyola nnd his defensive bril-
liance in the 7 to G nanow squeak win
over Howard Payne.
This year against Centenary San
Francisco Texas Mines and Loyola
major foes of the fall Turner went
"great guns."
Play at San Finncisco nnd Loyoln
won west const applause. TheU SF
Dons after playing H-SU to u 0 to fl
draw nnd Santa Clara to a 13 to 13
deadlock named Turner their All-
Opponent center over Johnny SchiechI
selected ns an All-America pivot on
many honorary elevens.
"The Texas bad mail from Hardin-
Simmons is rated by USF ns n better
pivot than Bionco SchiechI. He is
faster his tackles nro more deadly
and he covers more territory than
Santa Clnra's Johnny" said the Dons
adding however "Turner will not re-
ceive the notices SchiechI does be-
cause Hardin-Simmons is an obscure
college in tho wilds of Texas."
Named last Saturday by tho New
Yoik Sun us its All-America first
team pivot the Sun snld "Turner's
performance stamps him one of the
great all-time centers." NEA Seivice
named him ns its third team center
for the nation In its selections last
week too.
Son of Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Turner
of Dunn in Scurry County Bulldog
came to H-SU by way of Sweetwater
high school. There in his earlier
'teens ho played tackle end nnd back
as a reserve under Coach Ed Hennig.
He escaped notice of major confer-
ence scouts nnd came to H-SU ns n
little known youth of 1G. Today he
stands 0 feet 1 weighs 225 pounds
nnd is broad of shoulders und rugged
of phyaique. He will not be 21 years
old until next March.
Bulldog denies he is interested in
pro footbnll but national pro league

graph busy hero this week in ndvnnce
of Sunday's draft session for the loop.

Cowboys Beat
Jackets 14-0
Winding up another successful sea-
son with only one loss chalked up
against them Coach Kinvbiough's
Cowboys subdued the Hownul Payne
Yellow Jackets heie Fiiday by a scoie
of 14-0.
A Homecoming throng of five
thousand attended the game and saw
the Ranchers win by their largest
margin over tho Jackets in three
years. Big Stormy Davis senior end
was the main offensive attraction
and he had the distinction of scoiing
both touchdowns. Joe Pee tackle and
nnother senior turned in his best
game of the year and wus a mennce
on defense during every minute no
played.
On the second piny of the second
quarter Davis set up the first touch-
down by fielding a pnss on the Jnckct
30 yard mniker. On tho next play
he took nnother pass on the seven and
galloped over the pay stripe standing
up. Russell conveited the point from
placement making the score lead
H-SU 7 Howard Payne 0.
The next two quarters were played
on fairly even terms but in the fourth
pciiod Davis again tucked an aerial
under his wing which was good for
14 yards and n touchdown. Joe Pec
kicked point this time giving the
Ranchers their 14 points. In the last
minute of piny the Ranchers thieat-
ened again but lost their chances
of another scoie when Jnmes Beam
was hit hard and fumbled near the
five-yaid line.
Seven Cowboy seniors completed
their college football careers and
checked in their togs for keeps at
the end of the game. They are Neal
Davis end; Joe Pee tackle; Travis
Green tackle; Drate Cathey guard;
Larry Cunningham guard; Kirk Mc-
Kinnon back; and Bulldog Turner
center. McKlnnon und Turner weie
not able to play because of injuries
leeeived in a previous game.

The Cowboy's All-Opponent team (official) was selected during the
week and every team they met succeeded in placing someone on either the
first or second team. Four backs who were chosen on the first string re-
ceived nlmost unanimous favor with the Ranchers. They were Helneman
Texas Mines; Fisk San Francisco University; Bynum Ccntennry; and Her-
nandez Arizona State. Everyone seemed to regard these four men as top
tanking ball totcrs in anybody's league.
First man to go down on the ballot of Long John Treadaway was Jug
llcnnet H-SU frosh guard. Although he has only opposed Bennett In prac-
tice sessions here at home Long John sas Jug can hit harder than anybody
he has run up against this ear. Of course this vote wasn't counted when
Iho winners were being tabulated but it was something different anyway.
Fnns at tho H-SU-Howard Payne gnmo heard a voice on tho P. A. sys-
tem that sounded perfectly nt home. Bill Amo Brand Sports Editor last
year and now attending Texas Tech came down for tho Homecoming cele-
brntion took over tho tnsk of announcing nnd did his usunl bang-up Job.
Latest leports are that two former Cowboys who still have a few
seasons eligibility remaining may be back doing grid choies on the Range
next year. Big Indian Ford one of the hardest driving bnck.i this campus
has ever seen surrendeied to cupid during the summer nnd took unto himself
n wife. He then decided he didn't want to attend school this year but there
is a chance that he might reconsider nnd come back next fall. Ford has two
moie years of football awaiMng him if he returns.
Joe Antwine dropped out during the campaign last yenr but there is a
probability that hewill want to come back too. He also has two unused
seasons.
Bulldog Turner was chosen on the
Snn Finncisco University Dons' nil-
opponent team over the merits of
Santa Clara's John SchiechI. The
Dons picked this team after they tied
with the Cowboys C-G and with Santa
Clara 13-13. In doing this they pre-
dicted thnt Turner wouldn't rank as
high ns SchiechI on some all-America
selections because "Haidin-Simmons
is nn obscure college in tho wilds of
Texas."
Tho Football News received a letter
lecently from a Mr. Warren B. Phil-
lips of Corpus Christ! giving them his
all-America choices which said in
pnit "The best center I have seen
this year is Clyde 'Bulldog' Turner of
Hnrdin-Simmons. All-American any
year."
The Cowboys used fewer passes in
the Howaid Pnyne game than they
have in any game this season. The
Jackets were pi obably looking for the
Ranchers to fill the air with footballs
but they didn't. However the passes
they did use proved to be deadly ns
both touchdowns were made by long
accurate chunks.
The Jackets concentrated on their
usual powerful ground game and if
the Ranchers hadn't been on their toes
they might have caused complications.
They aie always up to the minute on
end sweeps and when Conch Keaton
came over for the West Texas game
anyone could have heard him chuckle
n block away when the locals left big
openings on each side. But it was n
diffeicnt story last week.
