QUARTERBACK
J^rry Crossman
Offensive End
The SMU Mustangs have been on the go all year, and
until two weeks ago led the Southwest Conference in total
offense.
Now holding the lead are the Texas Aggies, and when
these two teams meet Saturday, a whale of battle can be the
only outcome.
Killer Kyle Rote, 190 pounds packed into a 6’ 1” frame,
is the big gun for the Ponies. He kicks, passes, runs, blocks,
and tackles. Nothing phases him.
So far this season he has rolled up 463 yards on the
ground in 76 carries for an average of 6.1 for carry. Through
the air the San Antonio product has garnered 357 yards, com
pleting 18 of 39 passes, two for touchdowns.
“Little Rusty,” the Mustangs top signal caller, is H. N.
Russell, Jr., son of the coach of the Ponies. His ability this
year has been put to all tests. But his extra qualities as a
pass receiver have also helped.
Another star of SMU’s colorful backfield is Johnny
Champion. The 165 pound, 5’ 4” senior, is known to be an
excellent blocker.
Andy Hillhouse
Double-Duty End
Charley McDonald
Defensive Halfback
Last year when Doak Walker was injured in the Rice
game and Frank Payne was unable to play in the last six
contests of the year, Champion got his chance and he made
good.
He averaged five yards everytime he carried the ball
and he caught 17 passes for 337 yards and two touchdowns.
He passed only once and that was complete to Zohn Milam
for 78 yards in the Notre Dame game.
Pat Knight rounds out the regular backfield combination
of the Mustangs. Weighing 190 pounds, Knight is used as a
blocker more on offense and as an end on defense.
Fred Benners, the man with the three way action arm,
has the Southwest Conference completely in an uproar with
his phenomenal passing.
This year he has completed 69 passes of 123 attempts,
for 914 yards and eight touchdowns.
He has been given individual credit for defeating the
Ohio State Buckeyes with his passing which last year was
also great, although he didn’t play the first two games, but
in the final eight, he averaged 55 minutes.
At that time the 190 pound, 6’ 3” Dallas junior, com
pleted 47 of 85 passes for 706 yards and six touchdowns.
Bob Smith
Offensive Fullback
A sophomore end, Jimmy Hawn
has been one of the regular starters
for the Ponies at this position.

was held out with injuries but is
playing more this year.

Collier and Bob Vann. Each
weighs 215 but Collier is three
inches taller than Vann’s 0’ 0”
frame. Both seemed to be jinxed
with injuries last year but have
been playirig steadily this fall.

Mustangs seem to be Hershel For
ester and Ike Robb. Forester
weighs'in at 205 while Robb holds
:he scales down at 190.
Dick Hightower, 6’ 1” 210 pound
'starting center for the Ponies, is a
key man in the SMU offense and
defense whose fine work on de
fense as a sophomore merited wide
recognition.
