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.

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.

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

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.

DIcHi Gardenuil, sophomore quarterluu k from Port Arthur, sparked
the Aggie attack for the only A&M touchdown against Arkansas
in Fayetteville Saturday. He completed 14 of the 28 passes he
attempted and netted a total of 143 yirds.
‘YouDonWiss’Em
’Til They’re Gone’
7he old saw abouK “sometimes you never really miss
’em until they’ve been gohe a whilef’ certainly holds true for
the Aggie football team. V
For not until the past few weeks have the Aggies real
ized the real worth of such llH8 gridmen is linesmen Andy
Hillhbuse, Jim Winkler. Odell* -
Stautzenberger, Charley Wright
and Marion Settegast and work
horse’ back Bob Goode.
All of these . players graduated
except Hillhouse. Andy did not re
turn to school this season, but he

: • New York, Oct. 31. (AP)
— The monotonous forward
march of college football’s
Rig Four’’ focused attention
Sunday on eight “Sleeper 1
teams who are making lively bids
Mr/(bowl attention.
Notre Dame, Army, Oklahoma,
and California, rated 1-2-3-4 in or
der, kept the pace again Saturday
with expected victories. Notre
Dime thumped Navy,' 40 to 0,
Army coasted my Virginfa Mili
tary, 40 to 14, Oklahoma rode past
Iowa State 34 to 7, and California,
tightening its grasp on another
^.osi Bjowl invite, tripped UCLA,
“ to 2jl.
But creeping into the picture are
e "Sleepers”—Baylor, Virginia,
Fordham, College of Pacific, Wy
oming, Boston U., Iowa, and Pitts-
All rate a look-in for the
us Bowl games.
Baylor, Virginia, Fordham, Pa
cific, Wyoming and Boston U, all
are unbeaten and untied. With Cor
nell, the Ivy League leaders, and
the Big Four, they comprise the
country’s eleven major all-winning
dubs. Fordham, Pacific and Wy
oming were elevated to the aris
tocracy an the result of their
Continued successes.
I'enn Top Loss
Ojnly Pennsylvania, rated ninth
nationally a week ago, fell Satur
day, Pittsburgh, knocked off the
all-winning list the iveek before
by Indiana in a stunner, turned the
trick on Penn. 22 to 21, with a safe
ty in the last thirty-five seconds.
Giiard Bernie Barkouskie blocked
a Ray Dooney punt, sending the
ball back of the end zone for the
two points that brought Pitt its
ups(*t triumph.
Four orther major surprises made
the day interesting. Purdue just
abojut whacked Minnesota out of
the Rose Bowl picture, 13 to 7;
Tenjnessee blasted North Carolina’s
New Year hopes, 35 to 6; Ala-
banm nipped Georgia, 14 to 7, and
Duke clipped Georgia Tech 27 to
14.
But let’s get back to the “Sleep
ers/’
Baylor, the mystery team of the
Southwest Conference and rated
ten(h nationally, thumped Texas
Christian, 40 to 14, to maintain its
league lead. The Bears, heading
for a Cotton Bowl berth, play Tex
as Saturday. Texas lost, 6 to 7
to Southern Methodist on Doak
Walker's conversion in the last
quarter.
Iowa Dark Horse
llowa is the real dark horse of the
Big Ten. The Hawkeyes, 34 to 31
victors over Oregon in a thriller
featuring long runs, are tied for
thei Big Ten lead with Ohio State,
eaeh with 3 to 1 records. Iowa
plays Minnesota Saturday and Wis
consin a week later. Two victories
^ijrht give the Hawkeyes their
conference title in twenty-
pevobg/ears and a shot at the Rose
