Victory
"The H-SU victory along with
that of Michigan over UCLA and
the East's tromping of the West
in San Francisco seemed to leave
the impression that California
football is definitely inferior to
the inland variety' Giddens as-
sorts. "While the coast teams
prefer to rely on the old style
power football the Midwest and
the Southwest are increasing the
quality of their game with speed
and deception. The result is
likely to be a revamping of West-
ern tactics."
Tho Cowboys' ".Hook" Davis
seemed to make the best bull-
vidual impression with the San
Diego fans. When ho left the
gamo in final quarter the entire
crowd stood and cheered.
Whit reports that a friend of
his a student in the University
of Oregon who has seen his quota
of West coast football enthu-
siastically acclaimed Davis the
best runner he has seen in action
this season. "And I watched
Texas and SMU play!" the Ore-
gon fan exclaimed.
"Those Texans must like play-
ing football better than eating"
was the remark most commonly
heard on the streets of San Diego
following the New Year's Day
exhibition. "How else could
hey learn to play so well?"

Cowhand Statue
Moved to Niche
In Abilene Hall
Students should feel at home
in the new Abilene hall when it
is opened for classes. At least
they'll be greeted by one familiar
face the H-SU Cowhand statue
has been moved to a niche in the
south entrance of the building.
The statue has been move
from its temporary location across
the street from the building
where it was placed following the
Abilene hall fire last February.
The Cowhand will undergo a
face-lifting project designed to
remove evidences of experiences
suffered at the hands of too-
enthusiastic painters. The new
location of the statue inside Abi-
lone hall is intended to discour-
age further incidents of this sort.
The statue was erected by the
cattlemen of West Texas to the
pioneers in the industry who made
possible Hardin-Simmons Univer-
sity. The sculptor was Rupert E.
Rogers. 1943 graduate of H-SU
and featured trick roper with the
Cowboy band. Rogers was killed
in a plane crash during the recent
war.
