before 40JKK) in the Cotton Bowl
here Monday afternoon. |
The •core was 20 to 13. The
Gaels led 20-0 going into the
fourth. The Gaels scareely per
mitted the Red Raiders to have the
ball in the first half.
In the second half the Raiders
did not let the Gaels have the
ball very much.
But the magnificent jessing; of
the chunky Tech halfback. Bubbles
Barnett, wasn’t enough to catch the
big claimants to the Pacific Coast
co-championship.
Until the wild fourth quarter the
game, most successful of the Cot
ton Bowl series at the box office,
was a very sour affair for almost
all of the customers.
The rugged Gaelsbrought
scarcely any supporters, save e
half dosen poker-face# - sports

very sturdy thing.

At last this hectic football sea

there was bowl games in every

BASKETBALL THURSDAY
A. A M.i opens its conference
season here' Thursday evening fc-
gainst the Bice Owls. In the games
to date the' student body has not
turned out for the contests as they
should. Evbn though many of
the studenfc are disgusted with
athletics hefe they should turn out
to see their team and friends play.
McQuillan's charges will put«
on a demonstration of floor work
that will ty' hard to stop. When
the Cadets 1 get the range of the
basket they are going to be tough.
It is not impossible for the cagtrt
to beat some of these top teems.
Lest year they defeated Baylor in
one of the wildest frays that this

Bo has proposed that football
teams be quarterbacked by the
coaches who train them, with the
mentor running on to the field be
fore each scrimmage to select the
next play for the team. He advo
cates the change so that “a mature
man and not a boy” will be respon

Conches all over the country are
arguing the pros and cons of the
proposal, but Wisconsin’s Harry

the statement that the plan “must
be backed by coackes who have had
tough luck with their quartei-
