jld football
history was written today as the Dartmbuth Inc ians gaiped
a 27-13 victory before a 30,000 crowd. It marked the first
time Harvard ever lost five consecutive games. 1 ' Boy! those
"fellows don’t know what a losing streak is!
I As the scores of games from all over the nation clicked
bff the machine, one could fairly see the prostrate alumni of
such schools as Kentucky, North Carolina, Minnesota, North
western, and Pittsburgh, all of whom suffered upset-defeats
‘ during the course of the day. We might add the names of
the ‘Sips fo this list dince they felt that the Steers would
down Rice and were even abetted in this notion by several
notable Southwestern sports columnists. i»
Two conclusions can be drawn from Saturday’s games
(or so it appears in this corner); (1) the Southwest Confer
ence may yet make a determined bid for equal rating with
the Big Ten on the basis of ‘49 football play and (2) A&M
plays some of the strongest teams in the nation.
Will SWC Receive Recognition in ’49?

The first statement conies on
the heels of the usual "up-East”
comments that as always the Mid
west is football’s top section. Well,
the last of the Biff. Ten’s unde
feated elevens succumbed when
ponderous Minnesota fell before
Michigan, 14-0. ;
The October 19 AR Poll listed the
Gophers third nationally—the only
representative of America’s “big”
conference chosen among the top
ten, teams. Next (n line was Mich
igan down in the twelfth spot.
’ Yet the Southwest Conference
placed Rice (9> and Texas (10) in
the select group with Baylor (11)
and SMU (17) ppt too far back.
This week’h poll could very Well
show the Owls and the Ponies

Dallas, Oct.' 24 —Southern
Methodist kicked Kentucky in the
middle of its national ranking Sat
urday, knocking down the seventh^
rated Southern! team 20-7 on thb
smashing runs, of Kyle Rote and
the thread-needle passing of sopho
more Fred Benners.
Playing without the great Doak
Walker who heard about the game
from his hospital bed where he is
recuperating from an influenza at^
tabk, the Methodists stormed from
behind and| wpn going away. As
the game ended, SMU was on the
Kentucky seven-yard line with three

he Arkansas touchdown came
quilekly 1 in the second quarter on
Mazzanti’s long run and Schau-

Thprnton’s kick was good.
Vanderbilt scored on an 81-yard
match in the third period. It start

Dofi Logue’s pass on the Vander

blocked Cannon Mayes kick, leav-

bilt 6.
Game Close
The score does not adequately
show how close the game really
was. Until the last five minutes
Kentucky was in the ball game. A
gamble on the fourth down by the
Methodists was a deciding factor.
j Knowing the power of the Wild
cats was too much for them, the
Ponies realized they had to keep
the ball. It was fourth down on the
Methodist 35-yard line and four
inches to go jfor a first. The Meth

Penalties Hurt
Penalties hurt Kentucky badly.
One, for off-side, called back a
68-yard touchdown run by Emery
Clark-and another baited a deter

Methodists territory. j
Southern Methqdist had the edge
in the statistics, Romping 206 yards
on the ground and 125 in the air
to 98 rushing and 175 throwing by
Kentucky.
Rote ground out 91 yards wham
ming the bulky Wildcat line as
the game’s top ball-carrier. In
passing, Benners connected on six
for 101 yards while Vito Parilli,
the Kentucky wonder passing man,
lived up to all expectations. He
threw 24 and completed 12 for 175
yards.
Ponies Tally
j
The Methodists scored first, roar
ing 65 yards for a touchdown on a
drive that paid off just as the
second period opened. Bill Sullivan
missed the conversion.
That just made the Wildcats
wild, After Lee Truman had re
turned to his own 40-yard line,
Kentucky snorted and pranced to a
touchdown in eight plays. The pay
off was a 26-yard pass into the
end zone by Parilli to Fucci. Bob
Brooks planted the ball between
thf goal ppsts and Kentucky led
7-6.I I .
But as soon at the Methodists

yard line by the powerful Rote who
hannnered the Wildcat will just
twice for the touchdown. Kote eon*
