By A. R. TYSON
Although in possession of only third
plucc in tho Texas Confcrenco stand-
ing the Cowboys have just completed
an unusually successful season los-
ing only one game out of ten played
and holding opponents to the smallest
aggregate score since football was re-
instated in 1917. The season was
marked by a large number of tie
games the Cowboys tielng four
games three of them with conference
opponents. Five games one-half the
number played ended with the Cow-
boys in possession of tho heavy end
of tho score.
Tho Strong defense of tho Cowboys
is clearly shown by the fact that only
45 points were scored against them.
This record is approached only by
that of 1920 when 40 points were
scored against the champion Cowboy
eleven of that year. In contrast to
tho 45 points scored against them
tho Cowboys ran up a total of 142
points for tho season. In addition to
their consistent defensive play they
exhibited streaks of offensive power
that made them a dangerous team for
any opponent to face.
In winning from John Tarleton 3.5
to 0 in the first game of the season
and incidentally the first night foot-
ball game in Abilene the Cowboys
stuck to straight football but exhib-
ited signs of great potential power.
That the Cowboys really were a
powerful team was shown without a
doubt the following week at Brccken-
ridgo when the game with the pow-
erful T. C. U. Horned Frogs ended
in a scoreless tie. The game was
played on a muddy field amid a steady
downpour that made passing prac-
tically an impossibility. The Cow-
boy attack was featured by tho sen-
sational kicking of Captain Bil) San-
ders whoso boots traveled far and
accurately to keep tho Frogs backed
deep "in their own territory for fully
half the game. T. C. U. never crossed
Simmons twenty-five yard lino while
tho Cowboys were twice within scor-
ing distance. .
Tho first conference game played
against St. Edwards University
ended scoreless becoming tho second
tie game of the season. Simmons
could not penetrate the stubborn goal-
lino defense put up by the Saints.
A passing attack in the last quarter
likewise failed to produce a score and
an attempt to kick a field goal from
tho seven yard line was wldo.
With all departments of their de-
fense working almost to perfection
tho Cowboys defeated Daniel Baker
the next week on Parramore field by
tho score of 33 to 0. Tho Cowboys
completed ten out of twelve attempted
passes and registered sixteen first
downs against four for the Hill Bil-
lies all these being made against a
Cowboy team composed mainly of sub-
8tTh8'annual battlo with Howard
Payne played at Brownwood was the
third tie game of tho year tho final
score being 7-7. Starting tho game
with an offensive flash that they
failed to maintain as the game wore
on. tho uowDoya chihumu ju...

ard Payne's only touchdown camo in
tho third quarter after a completed
pass for thirty-five yards had placed
the boll on Simmons ten yard line.
Two plunges carried it over.
As her first two conference games
hod ended In tics all hopes for n
conference championship were virtu-
ally ended only to bo dealt another
blow the following week at George-
town where tho game with South-
western U. ended 13 all. Tho Pirates
made n touchdown In each of the liist
two periods due to the Cowboys In-
ability to solve their consistent pass-
ing attack. Tho Cowboys weio trail-
ing 13-0 at tho half but scored once
in each of tho last two quarters but
long drives featured by tho ball car-
Tying ui wtiiiu. -
The only loss of the year was suf
fered In tho next gamo mo auhui
College Kangaroo of Sherman com
ing out on tne neavy enu ui u-
score. Both of the Kangaroos' scores
were made by Llllls a fleet ten-sec-and
back who virtually outran tho
Simmons tocklers. The only Simmons
touchdown was mado by Carl Peo
who plunged over after George Go-
" lightly carried an Intercepted pass
to tho eight yard line. - .
Tho Cowboys broke their string of
ties on Parramore field Armistice day

After losing what appeared to bo a
sure chance to scoro by a fumble on
tho threo yard line the Cowboys mudo

play by downing the Trinity punter
behind tho goal as ho attempted to
kick out m nt .

Three Simmons linesmen drew
bbcrths 'on the Brand's conference
eleven. The team which has been
ciiOHcn is somewhat different from
that of other selections for it is com-
posed of a lino of unusual punch and
ability and one of the floshcst Dack-
ficlds that the conference has ever

favorite for the quarterback position.

was his work that tied the 'Cowhands.
McCarver at half is one of the neat-
est nlnvcrs In thn nntlrn ennfprnnen.
He is the fastest and also the high
point man this year. He can pass
and punt to a good advantage. Lillis
of Austin College deserves his plucc
for being the best pass receiver. Ho
is almost as brilliant as nicuarver on
the running end of the game. He beat

mado soma of his most brilliant runs
toward the last of the season.
"Rusty"' Hill of Trinity is just
about the best at full. As a plunger
ho is one of the best and ono of the
best defensive players in tho Big Six.
Two of the Simmons linesmen are
undisputed. They arc Golightly and
Ribble. Golightly could diagnose the
opponents plays and was a threat to
any passing attack. Simmons has not
seen such a center since the days of
Pittman. Ribble was the most spec-
tacular tackle in the conference. Ho
pnnlrl nlwnva h nmintnri nn tn hrnftk
through and smear a good majority
of the plays of the opposition.
Daniel is tho third Simmons man
to get on tho first team. Ho receiv-
ed an injury that hampered him some
but ho was ono of the smartest and
m6st powerful guards in tho confer-
ence. Kclichor and Clonlngor are the two
ends chosen. Both had plenty of pow-
er and were about the beit in the pass
receiving department
It was difficult to keep the four
Simmons men that drew places on tho
second team off the first. The first
to be named is Jennings. Ho was al-
ways consistent and a power on de-
fense. Hamilton at gard is the other
linesman a fighting man that played
equally well throughout the season.
Marshall nnd Dnvennort arc nrobnblv
as good as any named on tho first
tnnm M nrshnll rnnld nhvnv.i bo count
ed on for a gain through the line but
the plays used by uranim mis year
were hardly made to measure for him.
Ho stands a sure chance for an all
conference position next year. Dav-
enport is the hardest runner in tho
conference and was third in scoring
honors In tho big six. Neither of
these men passed or kicked yet they
were outstanding and the causo for
their not being placed on the first
team is based on causes that they
are not responsible for.

Scoring championship in tho Texas
Confcrenco this season will bo carried
off by a Howard Payne player and
tho man will probably bo Nig Mc-
Carver. Every team 'other than tho
Jackets has checked in its suits and
McCarver now standing on top of tho
column will havo to lose 13 points to
Buck Gibbs of his own team in tho
Daniel Baker game Friday to bo
kept away from the title.
Ho was closely pursued by the cir-
cuit's other speed sensation Joe Lll-
lls of Austin. Lillis tallied threo
touchdowns and added three extra
points in the Trinity game Thanks-
giving Day tho high mark for a sin-
gle game during the campaign.
Wayne Davenport led the Simmons
team with 49 points good enough for
third place unless Buck Gibbs How-
ard Payno doei somo more counting
this week.

Now that football is history so far
as Simmons is concerned this season
all of us are naturally turning our in-
terest to the winter Indoor sport of
basketball even though the actual
playing will not get underway until
after the Christmas holidays.
Although tho Cowboys are hardly
doped to win the conference every-
one is looking to a fairly successful
season. There aro only two letter men
back; they arc Captain Bob McCollum
and "Uncle Joo" Smith. Bob was
about tho best Simmons had to offer
as far as forwards were concerned.
Finding the basket just comes second
naturo with him.
"Uncle Joe" was on outstanding
guard and duo to his height was al-
ways an ablo defender of tho Cowboy
goal.
Tho new recruits however aro for
the most part freshmen but they aro
all showing up well. Scrogglns who
came close to lettering on the last
year's squad is out again this year
and will probably rato a regular posl-
tion. Coach Cranfill can not see a
fhnmnlnn.qhln rlnh nut nf thla venr's
material but he promises the cash
customers that tncy win not De dis-
appointed with tho showing his team
will make.

that is giving the Simmons coach the
most worry at present. The schedule
for the present season has not been
nnnounood. A ramn with Rnvlor Uni
versity however has boen set for
January b in tne uowDoy corral.
Tho league teams will bo another
popular basketball feature with the
Simmons students again this year.
These team3 are composed of tho
somo fifty or sixty boys that come
out that will not be placed on tho
varsity. There will bo two leagues of
three teams each and these leagues
will be sponsored by somo of tho busl-
ncss concerns of Abilene. The win-
ning team will be presented with
sweaters at the end of tho season.
Last year silver basketballs were
given.

Daniel Baker. The Jackets aro the
champions of the Texas conference
for tho past three seasons while tho
Hill Billies broke abot even in their
T.I.A.A. schedule this year. This
game which will be held on Dec. 5
is the first to be played since 1910.
Everything In the city of Brownwood
will be closed for the game and all
tho public schools and colleges will
declare a holiday. Ten thousand peo-
plo are expected to witness tho con-
test. Howard Payno of course is expect-
ed to win the game. Both teams
however are in fine physical condi-
tion nnd an upset could occur. The
following is a clipping from the
Brownwood paper of the last game
between the two schools in 1916:
''Outweighed and outplayed run
over and crushed the Howard Payne
football eleven put up the gamest
fight of its career against the Daniel
Baker team and lost 33 to 0. The
game was the feature attraction of
the Friday Free Fall Fair program
and was witnessed by one of tho larg-
est crowds that has ever attended a
gridiron contest here."
