Southwest Co Numerous Pr For ’50 Bowl Games By HAROLD V. RATLIFF | Dallas, Nov. 1 —It’s a trifle early to toe talking about bo^rl games but right now there are mighty fine pros pects in the Southwest Conference. Baylor is undefeated and untied. Rice has lost one game i conference but it was outside the I . to win the conference title, which* means, favored to beat Baylor. JRice already has gotten by Texas ; and Southern Methodist and Bay lor is the only teapi left to worry too much about. ' • Rice,, then, would go to the Cot ton Bowl, which takes the confer ence champion automatically. That would leave Baylor a^d Southern Methodist at: top prospects for the other major bowls the Sugar Bowl Orange Bowl i, ,■ . •••' r * Of course, Methodist ha would really and the Owls are favored ing the hospitals. Hogan spei says it will to some time yet be-1 ^ fore he does. I. ★, h i Ben commented that his family was doing a good job of su^prirt- Baylor a^d Southern vc yet to' meet. SMU mess up the confer ence race by licking Baylor if the Bears, In tuni, took down Rico. That . would leave the titled In a three- way tie. Then the Cotton Bowl would have to choose between the three and the other two would he prime bait for the Sugar and Drnnge Bowls. J Incidentally, the NCAA rules re garding bowl games, which would require 80 per cent of the gate ' and a third of the ticket! if or the competing schools and that NCAA representatives be on the boards governing the bowls, do not gb into , effect until after the- next bowl games. . ’ j Thus, there will be a bowl game in every city, town and hamlet again. Texas always goes in strong for such games. Look n for at least eight bowl games in the state in december and January. And while they’re at it, some of the smaller bowls couldn’t go wrong in seeking McMurry College. Here, folks, is quite a football team and with Brad Rowland, one of the greatest backs in the nation, in cluding all the major colleges, would be a real attraction. . i ' [ ★ Ben ! Hogan, the great golfer who almost lost his life in an auto mobile accident near Van Horn last February, is making an amazing " ^recovery. ‘ i Hogan was in Dallas Saturday for the Texas-Southern Methodist football game—and to appear on the radio—and reported he had gained 15 pounds/ Little Ben has just returned from Spgland wtore he, captained the American Ryder' Cup team. He jlidn’t play any golf, however, and >gan spent months in a hos pital. His motfier-in-law had, to go to one for an operation. And now hlb wife has j just undergone ah operation/. ' i : . 1 - j (if The best crack of the football season: It was at the weekly luncheon of Dallas sports writers Friday an4 H. N. (Rusty) Russell, assistant Southern Method 1st University Coach, was a guest. : Russell, in discussing the SMjU football team, said the boys just couldn’t win without Douk Walker —that the All-Amerda tjuaperf back was absolutely essentlol. ' "But,” broke in; a writer, beat Kctitucky last week and «r wasn’t evch in the park—he whs in a hospital. HoW about that?”, \ Before Russell could aobwer, James H. Sujwart, executive seen retary of the Southwest Confer ence, said with a grin: “Why, didn't you read the; pap ers? The officials won for SMU- They didn’t need j Walker.” Coach Bear Bryant of Kentucky had accused the officials of losing the game for him! Northway Speaks, On Quarter Horse Dr. J. K. Northway, veterinarian' for the King Ranch, Kinglsvile,, Texas, spoke Friday afternoon at the Quarter Horse Conference on "The Feet and Legs of the Quar ter Horsd." j Theme of the conference was "What Makes a Good Quarter Horse?” Talks were given on the general anatomy of the quarter horse during j the afternoon. Dr. Njorthway stated that the majority of the troubles in quar- terhorses occurs below the knees and hocks. Ah improperly balanced diea is the chief cause of thfiS abnormality,; he further stated. Trimming aiid care of feet was alio stressed by Dr. Nofthway. ■ *) I ■ I li-b leeper Jeans Gordon RnU As Big 4 Keeps Winning • P: •c i }■’.' ' .ii ’ T!
