College Football
Reaches Halfway
Mark on Saturday
By JOHN CHANDLER
Associated Press Sports Writer
College football reaches the half
way mark in the 1960 season on
Saturday, with only seven of the
nation’s top 10 major teams still
undefeated or untied. The battle
for national honors is far from
over, and uneasy is the position
of this week’s No. 1 club, the
Hawkeyes of Iowa.
Iowa, co-leader in the Big Ten
with Minnesota, entertains tough
Purdue, the No. 10 team in this
week’s Associated Press poll. Pur
due has a 2-1-1 record, after rack
ing up Ohio State last week 24-21.
Iowa became No. 1 this week,
by a hair over Mississippi, which
had taken Tulane 26-13. Missis
sippi tackles rugged Arkansas in
a night game at Little Rock.
The other five unbeatens in the
top ten—in order—have these
pairings: Syracuse at West Vir
ginia, Navy at Pennsylvania, Mis
souri at home with Iowa State,
Minnesota at Michigan, and Bay
lor, at home against Texas A&M.
Washington, No. 8, meets Ore
gon State in the Far West’s big
game at Portland, while No. 9
Ohio State and Wisconsin tangle
in State’s homecoming fracas at
Columbus.
Saturday’s national TV game
brings together Notre Dame at
Northwestern, each with 1-3 rec
ords. Both teams opened the sea
son with victories. But that’s all
on the credit ledger.
In an open letter to all South
west Conference officials and to
many newspapers, Ettlinger—who
has officiated in 1,500 high school
and college games wrote:
“To teach a player to tackle
the ball instead of the ball carrier
is poor football and not a viola
tion of the rules. To teach players
to use their knees on a ball-car
rier after he is on the ground and
the ball is dead is a flagrant viola
tion of the rules and should be
severely dealt with by competent
officials.
“This was not done last Satur
day afternoon. Texas had four
players, Ray Poage, James Saxton,
Drew Morris and Johnny Tread
well ‘laid out” by unsportsmanlike
and illegal use of knees and feet
on backs and heads by Arkansas.
“Furthermore, the close guard
ing of a receiver of a forward
pass by two men is not a violation
of the rules but good football.
This was ruled as interference by
one of the group of incompenent
officials last Saturday.”
Ettlinger said he flatly opposes
faculty control over the games.
Abb Curtis, supervisor of South
west Conference officials, said he
saw no undue roughness in the
Texas-Arkansas game Saturday.
Commenting on charges from
Ettlinger, Curtis said:
“Anyone in the stands has the
right to his opinion but a person
in the stands is in a very poor
position to call the play and that’s
why we put five unbiased officials
on the field close to the action.
“I saw the game and from my
position was not aware of any un
due roughness. I thought that the
overall job of the officials was
efficient.”

Flock of Perfect Records
In Danger for Schoolboys
By The Associated Press
The favorites aren’t expected to
get the ax by any means but a
flock of undefeated, untied teams
wil be in danger as the Texas
schoolboy football campaign hits
its highest note of the season this
weekend.
Baytown, the No. 1 team of
Class AAAA, plays South Hous
ton; Carrollton, the top-rated out
fit of Class AAA, takes on Bowie;
Olney, the ranking kingpin of
Class AA, plays Burkburnett, and
Stinnett, the heralded power of
Class A, engages Sunray.
All four are among the state’s
50 undefeated, untied teams.
Borger of Class AAAA’s slender
10 plays Lubbock in an important
district conference game and Bry
an risks its unsullied record
against the charge of tough Waco

Instead of “Remember the
Alamo” it is “Remember Houston
1958” as the University of Texas
prepares for the big Southwest
Conference game with Rice at
Houston Saturday.
The Longhorns got clobbered at
Houston in 1958 about as badly
as the Texans at the Alamo in
1936. Rice blasted an undefeated,
untied Texas team 34-7 and the
Longhorns haven’t fully recov
ered from it yet.
And knowing that spirit and
inspiration alone won’t get the
job done, the Longhorns Wednes
day also worked on pass defense.
The Owls have been sensational
in the air and Texas couldn’t
handle the Arkansas passing game
so something has to be done.
Meanwhile, they are getting
ready to put the SRO signs out
at Rice Stadium. Over 65,000
tickets already have been sold and
the stadium seats only 70,000.
Bleachers are to be added.
Rice didn’t have a single injury
and was ready for anything. In
fact, the Owls could be posting a
sign of their own like "Remember
Austin 1959.” Texas walloped the
Owls 28-6 then, you know.
Texas will probably be without
the seivices of fullback Ray
Poage, who has a hip injury, but
everybody else ought to be in
shape.
Baylor, the last undefeated, un
tied team left in the conference,
has a tough one coming up, too.
The Golden Bears face A&M at
Waco, on Homecoming Day. This
has gotten to be a jinx occasion—
Baylor hasn’t won a homecoming
game since 1954.
The Aggie, who haven’t lost a
conference game yet—and they
haven’t won one either—reportedly
had trouble solving Baylor’s of
fense Wednesday. The freshmen
used it to advantage against the
varsity. A&M also fretted be
cause halfback Babe Craig couldn’t
even work out and likely won’t be
available for the Baylor game.
Baylor, though, is in top shape.
Southern Methodist, which has
yet to win a game, had reason to
worry about the one coming up—
Texas Tech at Lubbock Saturday.
The Methodists couldn’t do much
against Tech passing although
showing up very well at halting
the Red Raider running game.
The freshmen fprnished the op
position.
Texas Tech was ready with half
back Dan Gurley, who has been
hampered by an ankle injury, ap
parently in top shape. He did
well enough in practice that Coach
Dewitt Weaver singled him out for
praise.

All along the line in the four

Katy, the Class AA power with
the longest winning streak, might

NEW YORK—Ralph Houk, a
former third string catcher with
only minor league managerial ex
perience, Thursday was named pi
lot of the New York Yankees to
succeed Casey Stengel.
Houk, a former Army major,
said he would be his own boss
and would brook no front office
interference.
“I am no ‘yes man,’ ” the new
manager said. “I intend to run
the club on the field and make all
the decisions. I will decide which
men will play and which won’t.”
This was in obvious reference
to Stengel’s charge that the Yank
ee front office had indicated it
intended to have a say in the
managerial operations of the team
on the field in the future.
Houk signed for a reported $35,-
000 a year, less than half the $85,-
000 paid Stengel, and the contract
—at his own request—was limited
to a single year.
“If I don’t do the job next year,
1 don’t want to manage the follow
ing year,” the 41-year-old one-time
Army ranger told a press confer
ence.
Announcement of Houk’s ele
vation from that of coach of the
Yankees, a post he held for three
years at $15,000 a year, to the
most celebrated managerial spot
in the majors came as no great
surprise.
He had been eyed by the Yank
ee brass since Stengel signed a
two-year contract at the start of
the 1959 season with indication it
would be his last.
Dan Topping, co-owner of the
Yankees, announced the new field
boss in the presence of General
Manager George Weiss, Assistant
General Manager Roy Harney and
Houk himself.
Stengel, who by his own de
scription was fired last Tuesday
because of his age, 70, was not
present.
Topping made no mention of
other administrative changes in
the Yankee organization, which
are reported imminent.

TCU must be expecting trouble
aplenty from Pittsburgh at Port
Worth Saturday. Coach Abe Mar
tin is shaking up his lineup until
even the coaches are going to have
trouble recognizing it. The latest
moves were to bring senior left

ing team and move sophomore
Richard Holden up.
Bryan Hosts
Waco Tonight
On Kyle Field
The Bryan Broncos will play
Waco tonight at 7:30 on Kyle
Field in one of the top 4-A high
school grid contest slated this
weekend.
The game was originally sche
duled for Bronco Stadium, but
since Kyle Field had been cover
ed during the rain this week and
an overflow crowd is anticipated,
plans were made Thursday for
the change.
Waco will go into the game with
a 4-1 record and rated seventh
in 4-A while Bryan is undefeated
in six starts.

Dear Dr. Frood: Here is a controversial bridge hand played at
a recent college tournament. The contract was six no-trump.
Some say declarer should have played the Fiskill Convention,
squeezing West while end-playing East. Others, however, say
a straight dummy reversal and a trump coup would bring home
the contract. What would you do with a hand like this?
No Trump
DEAR NO TRUMP: In our club, successful play would require
slapping the Jack, whistling at the Queen and quickly saying
“Sir Hinkum Dinkum Fuzzy Duster" when the one-eyed King
is played.
Dear Dr. Frood: How can a nice girl tell whether
a boy is sincere—or just a wolf—when he asks
for a kiss?
Nice Girl
DEAR NICE: Ask to see his teeth.
Dear Dr. Frood: Everybody laughed when I brought my
mother to the Homecoming Dance. What’s so funny
about that?
Freshman
DEAR FRESHMAN: She’s probably a very funny woman.
Dear Dr. Frood: Like every normal college man,
smoke Luckies. The other day I met this character
who smoked something else. I want to know how a
guy can be stupid as that and still get into college.
Luchy Fan
DEAR LUCKY: Obviously
your college is very easy
to get into.
Dear Dr. Frood: I am 20 years old and I am about to marry
a very nice, well-to-do man. He is 92 years old. Do you
think the gap in our ages will affect our happiness?
Fiancee
DEAR FIANCEE: Not for long.
“IF YOU DON’T SMOKE LUCKIES,” SAYS FROOD, “YOU OUGHT TO HAVE YOUR
HEAD EXAMINED!” And Frood ought to know. His head has been examined
seventy-three times. (And phrenologists are still wondering where he got the good
sense to smoke Luckies.)
CHANGE TO LUCKIES and get some taste for a change!
