SHREWD RAY MORRISON TO PRESENT SOPHOMORE BACKS FOR CONFERENCE TO PONDER DALLAS. Sept. 14.—<JP—Unles-, those who profess familiarity with the astute Ray Morrison's plans merely think they are. the South ern Methodist University backfield this season will comprise one of the boldest experiments in southern conference history. Tlic Ponies' ground-gaining de partment. they say, will be com posed of three sophomore fliers and a husky junior. Further, the same observers say, Coach Morrison plans to make the conference sick of his sophomores for the next three sea sons. It is seldom that one first-year man can break into a conference team's backfield as a regular. For three to have the inside track prob ably is unprecedented. , Members of the backficld thus nominated arc Bob Gilbert, quarter back; Bruce Kattman and Weldon Mason, halfbacks; Ira Hopper, full back. Hopper was the regular Mus tang fullback last year. The other three have limited their activities to high school and freshman foot ball, at which each was an out standing performer. Those who followed Gilbert through three years of high school and one year of freshman football here say he will be another Jerry Mann, than which there can be no more enthusiastic prediction from a Mustang supporter. Gilbert, like Mann, is of the studious type; a quick thinker and a real football scholar. And he can do about ev erything equally w'ell on a gridiron. SEV/ANEE TO PLAY MEXICO; ENTER HERE MEXICO CITY.

That was the year of Bobby Jones’ debut in the tournament at Merlon. “I recall Bobby's playing with Eben Byers in the first round. Anv time either hit a particularly bad shot, they would toss the ciub away in disgust. Eventually Babe Ruth will be ob liged to yield the home run crown but. the big fellow, as long as he . swings up to the plate, proposes to i give no unnecessary ground to any rival in the clouting circus. Off to a somew hat slow start this year. I with a layoff of several weeks, Ruth I spotted margins to at least a half 1 dozen rivals. In fact, around Aug. i 1. the Babe was trailing Chuck Klein ! by nine home runs but it took less than a month for the Yankee star to overhaul Klein as well as Hack Wilson, Melvin Ott. Lou Gehrig and others. Ruth has had many a tussle for the main honors. It was late Sept ember one year before he shook loose his team-mate. Lou Gehrig, in the greatest two-man battle for the home run crown yet witnessed. All of which emphasizes that the Babe, when pressed, is one of the greatest of all competitors. The Pacific coast has continued to send forth tennis champions, in various classes of competition, but it has been 10 years since a Calif ornian held the main prize in men's competition. ‘Little Bill” Johnson was the last to win and the Mighty Atom happened to be at his peak when there was one obstacle too much for him—Tilden. Of the Coast's present crop. Johnny Doeg of the Famous Sutton Clan appear* to have the brightest chance of breaking through to the top. It does take study of the succulent statistics to discover where the Pir ate* cracked and blew this year's pennant race to the Cubs. The Bucs had a three game lead on July 15, lost (hat by July 25 and on August 25. just a month later, they were 13 games behind the front-running Chicago outfit. The Pirates, over a period of six weeks, won 16 and lost 24 while the Cubs were winning 33. losing only 9 and making a bigger runaway of the National league race than at any time since the days of Peerlers Frank Chance's machine.
