ment ThU Week-end Top*
Grid Offering
Although the first meeting of
southwest conference teams is cot
scheduled until a week from Satur
day, when Texas University invades
Fayetteville to meet Arkansas, the
coming week-end will be enlivened
by a trio of intersectional skirmishes
calculated to send football Interest
mounting.
Southern Methodist's clash with
Coach Dana Bible's Nebraska Con.
huskers at Lnicoln will top the
week's bill, with the Texas Asgks
Tulane clash at New Orleans an
other choice engagement. Texas
University will have as its guests
the Centenary College Gentlemen
from Shreveport.
Bears Va Trinity
Four other conference teams will
continue to take their football less
seriously, engaging secondary state
schools. The powerful Baylor
Bears are booked against Trinity
University at Waco. Rice meets the
Sam Houston Teachers at Houston.
Arkansas plays Henderson-Brown
at Fayetteville, and Texas Christian
moves over to Breckenridge to meet
Simmons University on a neutral
field. They, the Frogs, will find the
Cowboys tough foe-nen. fresh from
a S to 0 victory over the Longhorns’
second team.
With a 54 to 7 victory over South
western University under their
belts, the Aggies apparently were
set to give Tulane all the competi
tion the law allows. Coach Bell's
team displayed unlimited power in
crushing the Pirates, four complete
teams participating.
Longhorns Spotty
The Mustangs gave no indication
they can prove a match for Ne
braska in being held to a 13-13 tie
by Howard Payne. It was the sec
ond close brush for Coach Morri
son’s revamped machine. Until the
closing quarter, when they opened
up an aerial attack that scored two
touchdowns, the Ponies were fought
to a standstill.
Having gained no better than a
8 10 victory over St. Edward's Uni
ty In their initial brush, the
horns figured to have their
s full with centenary Saturday,
even to overflowing. The gentle
men, led by brilliant Jake Hanna,
ran up a 63 to 0 score on the com
merce Teachers Saturday. The
Longhorn offense looked weak aga
inst the Saints and Its defense
spotty.
Wags Show Well
Coach Francis Schmidt’s Horned
Frogs served ample warning on six
conference rvials by rolling up a
61 to 0 count or. the Daniel Baker
hill billies. Cy Leland crossed the
Billies’ goal line twice, and the
entler coterie of Frog backs whip
ped the Daniel 4aker line to rib
bons. Simm 's was expected to
give the Frogs a harder tc~t.
Baylor was scheduled to chalk
up acsther top-heavy score at the
expense of Trinity University. The
Bruins again demonstrated their
power in whipping the Denton
Teachers. 32 to 0.
The Razorbaeks. victorious over
college of the Osarks, 37 to 0. In
their opener, were figur'd to have
equally easy going against Hender
son-Brown.
The Rice Owls, trounced by the
Loyola Wolves, 33 to 0, Friday
night, promised to have it easier
with Sam Houston.

EAGLES VS. CHICAGO
It is possible that the Brownsville
Eagles will be signed for a game
Thanksgiving with a Chicago
Champion eleven. The deal, if
closed, is expected to be consum
mated this week. The local high
gridders made a reputation in the
Windy City last year by defeating
DePaul academy here 36-0. Chicago
officials have laid down the terms,
guaranteeing no financial loss on
the deal.
It would be a great trip for the
Eagles (and ye scribe). The only
drawback hinges on the possibility
that Brownsville might win the dis
trict championship. They finish
their district tilts Nov. 22 at Aus
tin. From there they would have
to go to Chicago for the Thanks
giving game. This might throw
their schedule out of Jibe.
ROBSTOWN WINS
The Brownsville-Harlingen game
last Friday was scouted by Merle
Huston of Robstown, brother of
Vernon Huston, captain of the Cot-!
ton Pickers. H. declared thal
Robstown would beat the Eagles
here Oct. 11, if they did not shew
better form than they did against
Harlingen. Mebby so, mebby so, but
they will have to do it if they want
to convince us and about 23,000
other Eagle fans. The Cotton Pick
ers were defeated 2-0 in their first
game of the season against the
Kingsville teachers. Does 'sound
strong, all right
COOKS RISE
The Cook stock has taken sev
eral leaps upward in our estimation.
N. R. (Doc) Cook of Harlingen,
called the Sharkey - Loughran
shingding to a fare-yc-well. but wc
didn’’t believe him. We cited in

STEERS EVEN COUNT WITH

DALLAS, Sept. 310—<XV-Ort&kie
of the financial aspect of the situa
tion, the Dallas Steers and Birm
ingham Barons had accomplished
nothing up to today toward set
tling claims for the baseball cham
pionship of Dixie.
Starting last Wednesday, they
have battled across two states and
worn out several dozen baseballs,
but they still were horse-and-horse
M they squared off for the fifth
contest here today, each with two
decisions. So far, neither has been
able to do any good in the other's
bailiwick.
