The Texas Longhorns, who ap __
parently had everything that a be more potent. Che;
champion needed in '48—except! conducting expe
Southwest Conference grid melees Lee, and Bill Allen,
do not expect very much out of
Blair Cherry’s big bad herd when
they come rolling out on the field
Sept. 17 against the underdog
Raiders of Texas Tech.
Even with the heavy loss, es
pecially along the line, a better
record in the won and loss col
umn would not take this writer
by surprise. Texas will play a
lighter schedule than that of
last year’s, which saw four of
their worthy opponents draw
bowl assignments.
Sixteen lettermen will return to
Coach Cherry’s fold, and seven of
these stalwarts, having already
earned two orange stripes, will be
seeking a third numeral. Even
though there will be a returning
letterman for every position except
rif»ht end, the coaching staff is
’ a hit perplexed as to how they
will fill the enormous gaps caused
hyi the. loss of twelve of last .year’s
award winners,- which included
such all SWC selections as George
^arapbell, Bobby Coj
’ Campbell, an expert ball-hand*

job, but has yet make hi:

Lee, a natural leader, can furn
ish that much needed sporh
which makes a championshif
team, as he puts his experience
and expert ability to the test
this fall. Bill Allen, who is prob
ably the best passer on the
squad, is the longshot for em
ergency use, as the University-
ites are not leaving
turned in seeking a
for peerless Bohb;
graduated from
year ago.
Ray Bomeman, who 1 i:
Ing his pockets with ra .
and four-leaf clovers as he prays

that his trick knee a ill withstand
the test of the aeasoi, is tho most
likely candidate to ga n All-Ameri

rod, acclaimed t|jc No. 11 ball car
rier' in the SWC la^t year, is' a
unique combination [of bust-frpe

defeat the Campus champoons

Milnar started off the scoring in
the well-played game in the first
inning. Lindig took honors as the
iirat scorer when h\ was doubled

one of the three hits he got in the

The Tigers had their big inning
in the sixth when they scored four
runs on three hits. Nutt again
started off the bitting with a
screaming double, his third hit of
the day. Sullivan and Zlober then
iwalked to load the bases. Then
came the moat outstanding hit of
