Last week was a bad one not only for the Southwest
Conference football teams but also promising young prophets.
Only TCU won and the conference had their worst
weekend, losing three and tying one. My guessing average
fell along with the league’s and now stands at 14-4-1.
Saturday’s schedule finds the big game here on Kyle
Field with A&M hosting TCU. Texas entertains Arkansas
in Austin, while the Rice Owls and the SMU Mustangs are
on television in Houston. Baylor takes the week off and
mourns the loss of Doyle Traylor.
Here’s the way I see it:
TCU 20 — A&M 14
SMU 27
RICE 20
TEXAS 14 — ARKANSAS 7
As much as I hate to do it, I’ve got to pick the Horned
Frogs over the Aggies. 1 don’t think anybody knows just
how good the Purple are—they haven’t been tested yet.
Curtis, Swink, Wineburg and Dike!! They might be the best
backfield in the nation and behind that powerful line, who
knows? The Aggies are suffering with injuries and nothing
resembling adequate quarterbacking. Pure logic forces me
to g'o with Abe Martin’s wrecking crew.
SMU and Rice should put on quite an aerial circus for
the TV viewers and the Rice Stadium clientele, what with
Charley Arnold and Frank Ryan. This one could go either
way, as could all three games this Saturday, but the Ponies
probably have a little more than the Owls.
Texas may bounce back against the weak Razorbacks
after their 45-0 pounding at the hands of Oklahoma last
week. It could be that they won’t win another game, but
that doesn’t seem too probable. These two will be battling
for the cellar, as it looks now.

FORT WORTH—For two years,
Ken Wineburg, the new TCU run
ning sensation, was a roommate
of the Frogs’ all-American whiz,
Jim Swink.
Veteran football observers are
wondering if some of the Swink
magic, which rocked and socked
the Purple opponents into a frenzy
last fall, has rubbed off on the
Odessa senior.
With the amazing Swink in a
new role as flanker, pass-receiver
and decoy deluxe, Wineburg has
been setting the Southwest on fire
with his slashing runs. The 190-
pound youngster has rambled for
354 yards in 34 trips, with seven
of those blasts going for touch
downs.
Both totals are tops for the lea
gue and many believe it’s just a
start for the black-haired lad.

job in every way,” smiled Head
Coach Abe Martin. “We knew
he was a good football player,
but of course we weren’t ex
pecting anything like this.”
With a Kansas defense keyed on
the expected dashes of Swink,
Wineburg started off the 1956
campaign with a big bang. He
racked up throe scores — one a
school record-tying 80-yard gallop
and led all rushers with 143 yards.
Then after a week’s vacation,
the Frogs returned to work, and
Wineburg was back in the star
ling role again. In the 41-6 splash
over Arkansas, Ken broke on a 46-
yard scoring jaunt and joined
Charles Curtis on an 11-yard TD
pass. His 89-yards in 12 romps
paced both clubs.
In the Frog’s 23-6 waltz over
Alabama, it was again Wineburg.
From the eight-yard line, he star
ted the Purples goalward with a
24-yard jaunt to the 32 and then
set up his 46-yard scoring burst
on the next play by catching a
Curtis 12-yard heave. Later he in
tercepted an aerial and returned to
Alabama’s 41-yard line. On the
next play he broke for the touch
down.
His mileage and scoring charts
•are nearly identical with Swink’s
opening three games in 1955.
Swink also had an 80-yard and a
46-yard run among his seven touch
downs and the Rusk Rambler had
accumulated 345 net yards on 36
carries.
So Wineburg is nine yards ahead
of the Swink pace on two fewer
carries. •
Wineburg came to TCU on a
make-good scholarship in 1953 af
ter being refused by Baylor and
SMU. He only lettered his senior
year in athletics—but is the only
athlete in Odessa history to letter
in four sports.
As a freshman, he alternated at
the right half slot and convinced
Martin he should be on full schol
arship. In 1954, he was a regular
on the fine sophomore team and
tossed a touchdown pass ag’ainst
Oklahoma for one of the big Pur
ple Plays.
Tve never seen such great
blocking as we are getting this
fall from our line,” remarked
the new star. “When I break
into the secondary, I have
more trouble not hitting my
own men than I do avoiding
the tacklers.”

LOUPOT’S
By JOE DAN BOYD
Assistant Sports Editor
A sleeping Fish offense reared
momentarily into an aroused, an
gry gridiron giant after 57 minutes
47 seconds of so-so dilly-dallying
with Baylor’s stout Cubs last night
in Waco.
About 5,000 startled fans witnes
sed the lightning metamorphosis as
A&M’s Fish shook off a trouble
some cocoon of fumbles, suddenly
transformed into an irrestible force
with 2:13 remaing.
But that ’was plenty, Left End
Milton Merka pounced eagerly on
the last of Baylor’s 11 fumbles at
the Cub 27, where Larry Ward
ripped off nine yards to erase a
five yard delay penalty with four
to spare.
Quarterback Charles Schlemmer
held on to the ball for five yards,
reaching the Baylor 16 and a first
down. Gordon LeBouef crashed
over for four more on the twelve
and powered through a reeling
Baylor line to the three on the next
play.
Halfback Ed Cobell tried right
tackle for no gain as the Cub de
fense quickly tightened. It was
LeBouef again on the payoff snap
twisting over left guard for the
TD and a 6-0 lead. The hard-hit
ting all-state halfback neatly ad
ded the extra point as Schlemmer
held and the score read 7-0.
In the initial period, both teams
took turns with the ball without a
Serious threat from either. Early
in the second, a stout Fish defense
and 30 yards in penalties forced
Baylor back to their own three
where David Spears carried for 10
fast yards before Gary Wisener
kicked 45 yards to the Aggie 43.
Larry Ward delivered the half
time kick to Baylor’s deadly half
back Austin Gonsoulin who fum
bled. The speedy Fish end charged
down in time to recover his own
kick on the Cub 22. Jimmy Frost
carried for 10 and a first down on
the 12 where Cabell added five.
Schlemmer pulled another keeper
to the frenzied Cub two yard line
and a second first down.
The threat was short-lived, dis
pelled completely by a 15-yard pen
alty rocking the Fish back to Bay
lor’s 18-yard stripe. The airways
proved inacessable and the Aggies
lost the ball on downs at the 33
after still another 15-yard walk
back.
Frost got back into the fracas
by intercepting one of Jimmy Car-
roll’s aerials on the Cub 45 and
returning to the 32. Schlemmer
sneaked for nine and lost three on
two keeps. LeBouef picked up
needed yardage for a first, driving
to the 22. A deceptive hand-off to
Frost netted 13 yards to the nine
where Schlemmer fumbled, losing
five before LeBouef recovered.
Schlemmer passed to Ward, hit at
the four, and again the Fish could
n’t move.
