Cotton Bowl Ticket Sale Orders to Start Nov. 1-4 Only Rusty Russell’s Mustang's at Southern Methodist remained undefeated at the end of the sixth week of play and next Saturday’s grid classics should give good in diction of who is to play in the Cotton Bowl Jan. 1. Six remaining members of the SWC have fallen into the losing column in one conference melee, but still there is no assurance that any one of these will not be a top contender for the New Year’s Day battle. Next Saturday will indi cate, but it may take a month be fore the SWC champion-is techni cally determined. Cotton Bowl Athletic Association officials are readying their special staff for the anticipated deluge of bowl applications that will come in the mail stampede to start Wednes day. Order Nov. 1 to 4 That’s when applications will be received for tickets for the Dallas gridiron classic. More than 100,000' are cei’tain to come in within the four days allot- ed—Nov. 1 to Nov. 4 inclusive. Southern Methodist, the only un defeated, united team left in the Southwest Conference, meets Texas at Austin Saturday in the game generally expected to decide the championship. The conference tit- list automatically is host team in the Cotton Bowl. Texas, although once defeated, is unbeaten in conference play— the only team other than SMU with such a record. Preferential List By Nov. 15 teams still left in the running for the conference championship are to submit prefer ential lists—teams they will be willing to play in the event they get into the Cotton Bowl. Oklahoma is considered No. 1 on the list if it is Southern Meth odist, with an excellent chance of the Sooners coming here. If it’s Texas, chances are not considered too bright since Oklahoma already has played Texas in the Cotton Bowl this season and beat the Longhorns 14-13.

J.—<A > )—Four New ark, N.J., men went deer hunting last year on Newark watershed property in nearby West Milford. They spotted one. Shots rang out and a deer fell dead. But, before they could claim their prize, a game warden and his deputy stepped up, said they fired the telling shot and carted off the carcass. Feeling cheated, Don Carlotti, Harry Scalione, Guido Baldecchi and Arthur Chervier took the case to court. They wanted a deer or a worthy facimile. Yesterday they got $118 from a jury. The wardens had not right to hunt while on duty, the jury said, and they didn’t have the right hunting permit anyhow. TODAY thru WED.

Along with that, it should afford those partisans of various Texas colleges an insight as to just how their team will stack up at the end of the 1950 campaign. In the Aggies camp, where Coach Harry Stiteler’s Cadets are still smarting from a 27-20 upset at the hands of Baylor, there was still an unanswered question yes terday: Will Bruisin’ Bob Smith, A&M’s All-America fullback can didate, be available for Saturday’s contest with Arkansas? The Bruisin’ Houstonian has a broken nose and Trainer Bill Day- ton said he hoped Smith could wear a special head gear which would allow him to play some. Some 20 odd players were on the slightly bruised list yesterday and went through only light workouts. Halfback Billy Tidwell, the SWC leading ball carrier, has a back injury that kept him from practice and may keep him on the sidelines Saturday. Before practice yesterday the Aggies looked at movies of last week’s 1 game with Baylor, and Stiteler pointed out their mistakes. Fayetteville, Ark., Oct. 31.— Coach Otis Douglas is apparently well satisfied with the one point loss to Vanderbilt and worked only on split T plays yesterday after noon in a light signal drill. The Arkansas Razorbacks are expected to throw more of their new Z formation against A&M Sat urday night on Kyle Field, but are anticipating to do this minus the assistance of Halfback Ray Parks, who is still on the doubtful list. Trainer Bill Ferrell said that Halfback Sammy Furo, who has been out most of the season, and defensive safety, Johnny Cole, in jured a week ago, are ready to go this week. Dallas, Opt. 31—Sop^herp Meth odist University’'s"'ldustarig's opened the ; week, ; yesterday wilh a heav y workout for 1 their ‘crucial’ Saturday game with Texas at Austin. That game may settle the South west Conference race. As hard work was resumed after a three-day holiday, the only cas ualty who missed practice was Senior Bill Cook, 2l0-pound tackle, out with a sprained ankle. The Mustangs worked against tire T formation attack used by Coach Rusty Russell, was .unhiappy .oy.ei.'^sqn^puggedtiess in the Mustang’s pass defense. • Austin, Tex., Oct. 31—The team that meets SMU in the nation’s number one game Saturday took it easy here yesterday. , Blair Cherry’s Longhorns saw movies of their four touchdown vic tory over Rice, them took limber ing up drills and polished plays in sweat suits. Barring serious in juries during the rougher drills to come, Texas will be in top physi cal conditibn for the Mustangs. Cherry frankly admitted that his team will concentrate heavily on defense during this week’s drills. Waco, Tex., Oct. 31—Baylor found yesterday that it was in the best physical condition of the sea son as the Bears opened training for their Southwest Conference game Saturday at Fort Worth against TCU. -Only End Bob Trout was out of action. He received a pulled leg muscle Saturday in the game with Texas A&M. The Bears were all pepped up over their upset victory over A&M. But Coach George Sauer warned them that TCU would be tough. ® Fort Worth, Tex., Oct. 31—There was cheering news at TCU yester day as Coach Dutch Meyer sent his fired-up-for-Baylor football team through long offensive and defensive scrimmages. There’s a chance Gilbert Bartosh, little sophomore quarterback who missed the Mississippi game Sat urday, may play against Baylor. A physician today told Bartosh that after another x-ray treatment tomorrow he should be ready to play. Dan Wilde still is out because of a back injury and Dexter Bass- inger suffered a shoulder injury in the Mississippi game. 9 Houston, Oct. 31—Rice Coach Jess Neely found a number of badly bruised players yesterday as he checked up after Saturday's 35-7 loss to Texas. He gave the regulars their usual day of rest but sent the reserves through a long scrimmage. Halfback Don Campbell has the most serious injury, a badly bruised leg. Neely said he thinks all his players will be available for Sat urday’s game with Texas Tech.

Cadets Top Offensive Team Boh Top Rusher5 Scorer; Second in Total Offense A glance at the statistics cov ering the SouthAvest Conference teams after the sixth week of play quickly shows that Coach Harry Stiteler’s Aggies have added an other first place to their war bon net. One week ago the Cadets held the lead in team and individual rushing, as well as individual scoring. Today they have increased their rushing along with a pass or two and now enjoy the position of leader in total offensive. In - second spot in that column last week,, they moved to first place over the Mustangs when Rusty Russel’s charges had an open (late. The Farmers have a clear 460 yard margin over the nearest opponent, TCUin net gain lushing and rank last in the passing game, but cap combine the two to lead the former offensive kings from SMU by 95 yards. Smith Still Leads Though he played but half the game Saturday against Baylor, Bruisin’ Bob Smith presented the Rears with a formidable attack that had them bewildered in the first minutes of the game and carried for a total of 101 yards for the six times that he carried—16.8 per. In six games the 190 pound Hous ton fullback has lugged the pig skin 106 times and amassed a total of 694 yards. Smith’s competitor for top rush ing honors is Texas’ Byron Town send, who at present has worked 113 plays and shows a net gain of 504 yards and an average of 4.8 per carry which is considerably behind Smith’s 6.5. In fourth place behind SMU’s Kyle Rote is A&M’s Bill Tidwell who toted 13 times last AA'eek to raise his total to 381 yards and retain his lead in the yards per carry column with 7.5. Rice’ George Glauser follows Tid well and is one spot ahead of Cadet Glenn Lippman who has a net gain total of 339 yards for an aver age of 5.5 in 56 tries. Jumping now to the scoring col umn, Smith continues to lead with a total of 66 points for the 11 times that he has crossed the double stripe. A&M’s All-American full back candidate .streaked 65 yards to paydirt for his only tally in the Baylor game, but strengthened his lead in the scoring division to 24 points above SMU’s Rote and Texas’ Townsend, both of whom are tied for second. Hillhouse Fourth Baylor’s Buddy Parker hit the limelight Saturday when he scored twice to bring his total to 36 points and rate third among the scoring stars. A&M’s Andy Hill- house challenges Rice’s Glauser for the No. 4 spot with 30 points apiece, Avhile sure-toed Darrow Hooper, A&M PAT specialist, hit two for three against the Bears to bring his total to 26 points and fifth place. Baylor’s Larry Isbell staged a brilliant exhibition of passing in the recent A&M game and readily moved into first place among the SWC leading passers. Isbell com pleted 13 for 23 and a total of 200 yards to reign just three yards ahead of SMU’s Fred Benners who has passed for a net gain of 662 yards and second place in the passer’s column. Sikes, Gardemal—Passers Ranking in the No. 9 and 10 places in this department are A&M’s Delmar Sikes and Dick Gardemal, respectively.

The Southwest Conference lead er, despite a Saturday of idleness, remained the top choice of a ma jority of the 280 sports writers and sportscasters who voted in the fifth weekly Associated Press poll to determine the nation’s outstand ing team. The Mustangs (5-0) grabbed 153 first place votes and accumulated 2,574 points to outdistance second place Army which notched 34 first place nominations and 2,184 points. Although the undefeated Cadets walloped Columbia, 34-0, they gain ed 50 fewer first place votes than last week when they also were sec ond. OU Still 3rd Oklahoma retained its third place ranking by trampling Iowa State for its 26th consecutive victory but fifth place Kentucky (7-0) and sixth place California (6-0) drop ped down a notch to make room for Ohio State. The Buckeyes, shooting for their second straight big ten conference championship, SAvamped Iowa 83-21. Ohio State received 30 first place ballots to 25 for Oklahoma, but the Sooners had more seconds and thirds to amass 2,137 points to the Buckeyes’ 1,822. The heaviest voting in the 15 years of the poll also saw Kentucky pick up 17 first place votes, Miami 12, Clemson 3, California, Prince ton and Wyoming two apiece. Biggest jump was registered by Princeton. The Tigers leaped from nowhere a week ago to ninth by virtue of their surprising 27-0 vic tory over Cornell. The Big Red, 10th last week, received only one 10th place vote to drop out of the first 20. Northwestern was an other to lose prestige, because of its 14-13 defeat by Wisconsin. The Wildcats, ninth last week, didn’t make the first 20. Other appreciable gains were made by Miami (Fla.) and Illinois. The unbeaten Hurricanes exchang ed places with Tennessee climbing from 11th to eighth on the strength of their 28-0 win over Pittsburgh. Illinois, with only a one-point defeat by Wisconsin to mar an otherwise perfect five-game slate, rounded out the top ten. A 20-0 victory over Indiana gained two notches for the Illini.
