HORNED FROGS
SEEN VICTORS
Texas Meets Aggies, Baylor
Vs. Owls and Arkansas,
Oklahoma Aggies
.By GAYLE TALBOT. Jr,
Associated Press Sports Writer
DALLAS, Nov, 25.—-i/Py—,Four
games, two of them paced witkh all
the elements that make the foot
ball fan thankful he is alive, will
ring down the curtain this week on
the most spectacular campaign the
Southwest Conference has seen.
Headlining the closing week’s
bill of fare will be the champion
ship fray Saturday at Port Worth
between Texas Christian University
and Southern Methodist, youngest
members of the conference. The
Progs will be seeking their first
title, the Methodists, their third.
Demand for tickets already has ex
ceeded the 20.000 seating capacity
of Clark Field.
Some 32.000 fans will swarm in
to JColJege Station Thanksgiving
Darter the annual bout between
Texas University and the Texas Ag
i gies. It will be the first time in
I many a day the Longhorns and Ca
dets have clashed without one or
t the other playing for the title.
Tradition, however, says it is the
game to attend, and they will have
their audience from every comer of
Texas,
Bean n Owls
Less color Is attached to the
week’s other attractions. The
Baylor Bears, heavy pre-season la-,
vorites, find themselves matched
with the lowly Rice Institute Owls
at Houston, out of the race and
nothing to be done about it. Af
ter taking healthy beatings from
T. O. V. and 8. M. U. on successive
week-ends, the Bears will be fa
vored to wind up with a victory
over the Owls. They play Satur
day.
Arkansas University will close a
fairly successful season against the
Oklahoma Aggies at Stillwater. As
the bout will count In the Razor
backs’ standing, a victory would en
able them to finish above .500 per
cent. They play Thanksgiving Day.
The Porkers have won six .out of
eight games played, losing only to
Baylor and Texas.
Titular Tilt
Few, if any, fans could have
foreseen two months ago the meet
ing between the Mustangs and
Frogs for the championship. Few
er would have been willing to pre
dict the Frogs would batter their
way to nine straight victories in
their path to the finals and the
Methodists go through a program of
ten games without meeting defeat.
But there is little doubt now that
the two “baby" members are among
the most powerful and versatile
elevens in conference history. Their
meeting should be a classic.
The Frogs, as a result of their
decisive win over Baylor. 34 to 7.
will enter the championship melee
slight favorites. As Southern
Methodist has a tie with Texas
University acatnst its record, the
Christians will need only to hold
the Mustangs to a draw to capture
the crown. There is no belief that
the Frogs will be willing to lay
back and accept a tie. however.
Coach Francis Schmidt has a team
of natural bom gamblers.

By ALAN J. GOULD
Associated Press Sports Editor
NEW YORK, Nov. 25—(A*)— The
college gridiron campaign faces its
double barreled climax this week,
on Thanksgiving Day and Satur
day. with every prospect of a sen
sational finish to the champion
ship races still undecided.
Pate of six of the seven major
title contenders is involved. Pur
due. champion of the Big Ten. has
double-riveted its place in the top
group by finishing the season with
a clean and impressive sl .te of i
eight victories, but Pittsburgh In J
the east, Notre Dame in the mid- !
west, Tennessee and Tulane in the
south. Texas Christian in the south
west. and St. Mary's on the Pacific
coast, all stake their title aspira
tions in important battles this
week.
Undefeated
None of these teams has tasted
defeat or tie. except St. Mary’s
wiich was held to a scoreless dead
lock by California, but nevertheless
remains as the outstanding team
on the Pacific co; t so far as the
records are concerned, since Stan- i
ford's 21-6 defeat of California
scrambled the big conference race
in the far West.
On Thanksgiving Day. Pittsburgh
will seek to clinch its claim to the
eastern championship as well as
the bid for national honors by con
quering Penn state. In the south.
Tennessee will meet Kentucky at
Lexington and Tulane will oppose
Louisiana state to determine per
1 haps the final Southern conference
ratinj. Nebraska, bv defeating Iowa
, state in another holiday tilt, can
c’ineh the P*t Six crown once more.

Notre Dame, on Saturday, veil;

I stadium in the most colorful fray
; of the week, an eastern climax
! game that over-shadows even such
! attractive contests as the Corr.ell
| Penn and Navy-Dartmouth con
tests, both at Philadelphia.
The Southwest expects a sensa
tional fight for its conference hon
ors when the Texas Christian Horn
ed Progs tangle with the Southern
Methodist Mustangs Saturdav. The
Progs beat Baylor Saturday 34 to
7. more decisively than S. M. U.
; defeated the Bears previosuly, but
1 there is not much to choose be
tween this week's main rivals.
Pacific Jumbled
On the coast, St. Mary's must
beat Oregon to keep at the top of
the heap. Southern California, by
defeating Washington state, can
claim at least a percentage edge
In the Paeifict coast conference
race. Victory would give the TroJ- I
| a ns six triumphs out of seven con
| ference games. Stanford has fln
j ished with five out of six and Cal
ifornia with four out of five. It
was a stand-off so far as the Big
Three was concerned. California
losing to Stanford, but beating
Southern California which had pre
viously trimmed Stanford.
The Big Ten season has closed
with Purdue the titleholder for the
first time in Western conference
history. Illinois, put out of the
race by Northwestern after win
ning the championship two years
in succession, gained the runner
up position by overwhelming Ohio
state, 27 to 0.

Not Much Of Fight
From the point of view of a show

liams and his opponent would be
terrible as fighters, but not more ter
rible than some of the youngsters
that have roles in the preliminary
encounters.
Thirty years ago, Williams was

CARDS MEET KINGSVILLE
TUESDAY IN BI-DISTRICT
-
t Special to The Herald)
HARLINGEN. Nov. 25 — One of
the best games of the season is ex
pected here Tuesday afternoon,
j when Coach “Dutch'’ Rektorik's
Harlingen Cardinals and Coach
“Sheik-’ Davis’ Kingsville eleven
clash for bi-district honors. Rek
torik and Davis are old Aggie team
mates. having played on the elevens
of *25-26-27 and *2$. Consequently
rivalry between the two will be
high in Tuesday’s contest. The
game will be called at 3 p. m. at the
Fair grounds park.
Coach Rektorik's eleven has
swept to the Valley title with an
undefeated record. Coach Davis’ ag
gregation holds the title for the
neighboring district. Both coaches
hope to get the breaks of the game,
as it is believed the breaks will de
termine the winner.
Kingsville is generally regarded
as having a stronger baekfield than
the Cardinals, but its line is not
quite as powerful as the Hariingen
forward wall. Evidently the teams
are well matched.
Starters
Neither coach announced his
starting lineup, but it is believed
the Cards will start Ray Murray at
! left end. He has starred in every
i game and made four touchdowns
{against the McAllen Buildigs. With
erspoon. captain, will hold a tackle
post. He is a strong tackle and will
be hard to keep off the All-Valley
eleven. Drury is suffering from an
attack of inl’ucnza and Johnston
will likely start at his guard post.
W. Lawrence, a capable center,
adept at breaking up passes, will
draw the center assignment. Mike
Waters, who is hailed as All-Valley,
will start at his regular guard po
sition. Brindley or H. Drake will
hold down the other tackle.
Racks Powerful
In the backfield the Cards wUl
have Jimmy Lawrence, another
member of the famous Lawrence
football family. He has been play
ing quarter and is one of the best
in the Valley In handling men and
t holes. Schuepbarh, who ran
h McAllen at will, is slated
to start at a half. He hits hard and
runs like nobody’s business. 81s
mll. a good defensive back, will hold
down the other half. This scrapper
tips the beam at only 125 but is a
powerful unit in the championship
eleven.
Either Hartin or West wil draw
the full assignment. West played
an excellent game at La Fetia He
Is a good punter and passer. Hartin
is the best pass receiver on the
squad. Jones. Johnston. C. Waters.
Crown and McFarland may sec ser
vice aim
When Sotelo, who represents the
state of Campeche, wired President
Portcs Oil recently suggesting that
bull fights be banned, the boxing
mentors saw a possibility of elimina
tion of the spectacle which aa a
drawing card invariably has out
stripped boxing and drawn the bulk
of the sporting public.
But when Sotelo followed up his
message to the president with a pe
tition to congress terming bull fights
and cock fights uncivilized, he in
cluded the fistic show among the
"horrible and repugnant diversions
which should be prohibited in all of
Mexico.”
He cites in his petition a decree Is
sued by President Venustiano Car
ranza in 1916 forbidding bull fights
anywhere in the country, which has
not been adhered to. and says it
should be put Into force together
with a ban on cock fights and box
ing encounters.
Twelve other members of the
chamber have announced support of
Sotelo's proposal, but the author
himself has expressed doubt that
he will be able to command a ma
jority vote,, "inasmuch as most of
the congressmen are bull fight fans.'

Coach Ryle’s Aggregation
Undefeated in Valley
Rural Circlet
The rural football championship'
af the Valley is now claimed by
Coach Ryle’s Stuart Place eleven
Following its smashing 80-3 victory
over El Jardin Friday.
Ryle bases his claim on an un
defeated record in rural circles. The
Stuart Place aggregation will close
the season Nov. 27, taking on the
Raymondville gridsters.
Ryle's eleven has defeated Lyford
12- 0, St. Joseph’s *-8-0, San Benito

however, the Stuart Place eleven

Last Friday’s game was a night
mare for Coach J. H. Diltz of El
Jardin. Previously the Comets had
held the Stuart Place eleven 13-12.
With few substitutes on the bench,
three of the Cor ets first string
backs were’ knocked out early In
the game and Ryle's eleven romp
ed away to an easy victory.
The Comets took the kick and re
turned the oval straight down the
field on five first downs to Stuart
Place’s two-yard line where they
lost it on downs. Stuart Place punt
ed to its own 30-yard stripe and
El Jardin returned to the 10-yard
lin>, again losing the ball on downs.
Stuart Place then ironed its way
straight down the field to a touch
down. The quarter ended 8-0.
In the second quarter, Stuart
Place outplayed El Jardin through
out, running the score up to 20-0
During the last half, Stuart
Place ran wild with one big gain
after another, utilizing driving
power in the backfield and good
interference. The Comets were un
able to gain. Their first string backs
were on the bench as the result
of injuries.
The only El Jardin tally came
in the third quarter. With a series
of passes and line plays, the Com
ets put the ball on Stuart Place's
25-yard line. Bill Lawrence drop
ped back to the 35-yard stripe and
kicked goal.
Myrich. Marrs. McGee, Medley
and Ward starred on the defense
for Stuart Place, while Medley and
McGee gained most yardage. The
entire team turned in a good game.
Lawrence, Kemper and Glenden
ing made the most tackles for El
Jardin, with the whole team fight
ing hard. C. Vicars and Tripplet
gained most yardage for the Com
ets. Mathias showed up well In the
first of the game.
