Reserve Officers
To Hear Stockwell
Army Reserve Officers of the
479th .Composite Group will meet
Thursday night at 7:30 in the PMA
Building, according to Paul J.
Woods, acting public relations of
ficer of the group.
The pffibens will hoar, Cupt. A.

new Reswh’e Officers retirement

Stockwell also plans to announce
the name of the new commanding
officer of the CroUp. The new CO
will suroeted Colonel K. A. Eads,
who is leaving the community. ‘
right i now. /
SMU does have some problems
along with its /hopes of repeat
ing with; the Championship. The
Methodists nre well-fortified at
ail ppsitfotu*.except center and
blockihg/oack. They should have
the best backfield in the confer
ence. The line looks very good
from guard on out. ?
But at blocking back SMU will
be using the man who was third
in lipe last season; Bob Ramsey,
the regula^ blocking back, finish
ed. Howard Parker, who divided
the time with him, became ineligi
ble kcholastically and signed a pro
contract. Francis Pulatjtie, who had
been expected to work with Dave
Moon at the spot, also has signed
a pro contract and gone to the
New York Giants.
Fred Goodwin, who played be
hind Cecil Sutphin and Lloyd Bax
ter is back at center.
On what can be developed to
work with Moon and Goodwin
will largely depend the changes
of SMU In the conference race) 7
Blair Cherry was fortunate/ in
one-sense at Texas last year. He
managed to start the !shason with
out being put On the spot as faw-
orite. It’s different this time. Tex
as is due to he the majority choice
to win the title.
Surprisingly, Rice is rated vir
tually even with Texas. Riee lost
a lot of good footballers but it still
has Tobin Rote, the Sparkplug of
a fine finish last season. Alftfit
has Joe Watson, a magnificent
center. And it has the advantage
—a big advantage, too— iij the
sf’hpflulp
The Owls play Texas, Sriuth-
ern Methodist and Texas Chris
tian all at Houston. Those arc
considered the three toughest
teams in the conference other
| than Ripe. And some say Rice
also has a strong ally in Hous
ton humidity.
Arkansas appears to be the mys
tery team. Word from Fayette
ville is that the Razdrbacks should
be their strongest since John Barn
hill came in as coach.
Barnhill has been there three
years and in 1946 tied for the
title. However, it doesn't seem
possible that Arkansas could have
a line pis strong as last season. It.
lost its/jstarting tackles among
other stalwarts in that, forward
Unjll. \ 1;
Texas Christian probably
would be favored had it retained
all the men it finished with in a
blaze of glory last season.
The Frogs lost both tackles-—
Weldon Edwards and ^Harold Kil-
man, the former turning pro and
the latter losing in a battle with
the scholastics. It > also appears
pre,tty certain of losing A1 Vaiani,
a very fine back, who contracted
polio this summer. He isn't likely
to. play any football this year.
All this summarizing leaves
Baylor and Texas A&M to fight
for the last two places in the
conference race. But they could
make trouble.
Harry Stiteler of the Aggies
looks atlit like this: “I think Bay
lor and A&M arc going to have
good ball clubs capable of win
ning from any team on any given
date, but of course! common sense
says neither of ur should win or
come close to it.”

NEW YORK — The golfer who

says Sarazen succeeded where oth

“had. guts.”

in Great Neck,
k a y s Sarazen

“Two of the
greatest players
of all time who

were Leo Diegel
and Wild Bill
Mehlhom, w h o
could maneuver the ball like Har
ry Vardon, the greatest player of
thum all. But they lacked the firo
of Hagen and Sarazen.”
The LIPGA chief thinks “the
smoothest swing of any golfer”
belonged to Willie MacFarlane,
winner of the National Open at
Worcester in 1925. Al also con-
