S. M. U. TO MAKE STRONG BID FOR SOUTHWEST GRID TITLE
I
MATERIAL IS
BEST IN YEARS
Bell Steps * Into ‘Tailor
Made’ Layout With
. Mustangs
By FELIX R. MeKNIGHT
DALLAS. Sept. 10. OP)—The big
tent went up Tuesday and Southern
Methodist's aerial circus—bigger and
better than ever, they say—took its
opening workout under a brand new
ringmaster.
Madison (Matty) Bell, starting on
the first of a three-year term with
the daring young men of the flying
footballs, cant get excited about re
ports he is "on the spot.” He points
to a sparkling squad of 42 men. 22
of them veteran lettermen, and
laughs it off.
The aerial antics Ray Morrison
created at Southern Methodist will
t live on. despite the fact he has
■switched to Vanderbilt University.
Bell had a personal hand in the sky
tricks last year while handling the
linemen. He knows passing and will
serve it up aplenty this fall.
Slyly he admits “we could slip
under the wire in the Southwest
Conference race." For his "slipping"
act he has very near the Ideal squad
—18 seniors, nine Juniors and 17
sophomores, including eight ends,
seven tackles, seven guards, three
centers and 17 backs.
?tenly of Reserves
Perhaps the greatest backfieid in
years will twinkle this season. Lit
tle Robert Wilson, two years the
leading scorer of the conference, will
be out to make it a grand slam.
Harry Shuford, All-Scuthwest Con
ference fullback and ®0 pounds of
defensive genius, will play his last
season. Shelley Burt, a pounding
akwll carrier and big Johnny Spra
TT-ie. of ' the football Spragues," com
plete the first string.
The reserve material is near per
fect. J. C. (Cotton) Meyers. J. R
(Jackrabblt) Smith, big Bob Fin
ley. Charles (Jackie) Gore. James
Russell. Bob Turner are tried vet
erans. Two sophomores, Laddie La
bruzzo and Henry Guynes. add to
the wealth of serve backfieid ma
terial.
His line, Coach Bell thinks now,
will stack up this way: Maco Stew
art and Bill Tipton, ends: Maurice
Orr and Truman Spain, tackles; J
C. (Iron Man> Wetsel and Billy
Stamps, guards; Arthur Johnson,
center.
Eleven lettermen could start any
game, with eleven more ready on the
bench.
The coaching staff presents an en
tirely new set-up. Besides Bell, ele
vated to head coach firm his line
duties of last season, are Vic Hurt
and Charge Trigg.
Bell Is Pleased
Hurt comes to Southern Metho
dist from Oklahoma Baptist Univer
sity. where his football teams over
a ton year period won 75 per cent
of their games. He will sene as
head track coach.
Trigg returns to his alma mater
as freshman coach after several
years of successful coaching at
Highland Park high school.
Three captains will leid the Mus
tangs—Stewart. Shufcrd and Wet
ael.
Mattv thinks his Mustangs should
rank with Rice. Texas Christian and
Texas as one of the four leaders in
the conference race, with any one
of these teams having "an outside
change of winning the title"
Southern Methodist finished In
third place last year with three
victories. one tie and two defeats—
the latter at the hands of Rice and
the lowly Baylor Bears.

Philadelphia hopped on Phil Col

off Ed Heusser in the eighth. Curt

Before the game the gas house
gang went a little sissy, presenting
Frisch with a bouquet of flowers
and then singing a birthday song
as Dizzy Dean tossed aside the bat

It was the hardest fight he has

halved the first two holes with par

for Little to stop him on the sixth,
but he stopped his “kid" challen

the match on the ninth hole, went
ahead with a bold iron shot and a
beautiful explosion on the 588-yard

chances to win holes by over-putting
the fast drying greens.

In Short Match
FOREST HILLS. N Y„ Sept. 10.
WfV-Bltsy Grant mu back In hts
accustomed rale of the "(lent Killer"
of American tennis Tuesday.
For weeks the sports paces car
ried columns about the Wimble*
don achievements of Donald Budge
of California Budge's victorias
over Bunny Austin and Baron Gott
fried von Cramm earned him a
rating among the five leading play
ers of the world.
Bitsy read the papers—that’s one
of his chief diversions when ha
isn't wielding a racquet. To him.
Budge was just another tennis
player though a sort of special one
because he took a trimming from
him last year when Gant was the
favorite.
They squared off across the net
Monday in a quarter-final match
of the 54th men's national singles
championship This time Budge
was the red-hot favorite. He was
the one American player con
ceded a chance to dethrone Fred
Perry of England.
Budge came back from England
with the sobriquet, "the new darling
of Wimbledon Against Grant he
was a darling in distress saved
only by a drenching downpour of
rain which interupted the contest
at the time Grant was leading 6-4,
6-4. 2-1.
After the first three games
Budge s spirit appeared to be brok
en. Grant handled his famous
cannon-ball service with impres
sive ease.
More trouble than that, however,
were Grant's soft, spinning fore
hand and backhand shots. Budge
seldom could get set to slam across
thunderbolt returns and had to
content himself with keeping the
ball in play and trying to place it
out of the reach of his small ad
versary. But Grant was virtually
"all over the lot.”
They are scheduled to resume
their match at 1 p. m. (Central
