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.
Applications for Cotton Bowl
tickets will be accepted only by
mail and in the period designated
—Nov. 1 to Nov. 4. When all ap
plications have been received, a
drawing will be held to determine
the order in which they will be
filled. Unfilled applications will
be returned to the senders.
Four Ticket Maximum
No application will be accepted
for more than four tickets. Checks
or money orders must accompany
all applications. Each ticket is
$4.80 and a 25-cent mailing fee
must be added for each application.
Applications are to go to the Cotton
Bowl Athletic Association, 1343

Texas.—Based on AP Reports.
I Shot, He Shot
WardenFineti
Clifton, N. 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.

Rumblings
This coming Saturday will be
packed with SWC grid contests
that should furnish the answer to
the Cotton Bowl problem. 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

Coach Rusty Russell, was

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.

Houston, Oct. 31—Rice Coach
Jess Neely found a number of

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. Sikes has
tossed 51 aerials for 21 comple
tions, six of which have gone into

top ten.
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.
