But we do not agree that res-

The American boys who lie in

So; to- our * friend, the Marine,
we would hay: -You are not fight-

lighting for the statesmen and
jjo'iticians who have, so often, let
you down.
YoU are fighting fpr free people
who want desperately to remain
free. You are fighting that chil-

that the windows of homes may
glow warmly Into the darkness;
that men may walk upright and
speak their own minds and run
their own affairs.
Young men have been fighting

the famedv Wright-Cross’ offen-
sive puncli owned by the Sun
Bowl-bound West Texas State
luffalocs. ^ g.
Back in 1947 many coaches told
Bill Cross, 150-pound 5’6 speed-
ster from Canadian, he was too
small to play college football.
Cross thought otherwise and was
given a chance by Frank Kim-
brough at West Texas State At
the same time, Kimbrough latch-
ed on to a gangling 0’2, 190-pound
back from hometown Canyon
High in the personage of Charlie
‘Wire’ Wright. Together, the Mr.
Little and Mr. Big set about mold-
ng themselves into one of the
greatest one-two punches in mod-
jrn football.
Today, four years later, the two
'ootballers are the all-time na-
tional rushing champions having
shattered by 738 yards the record
of 1,662 yards set in 1945 by the
fabulous Glenn Davis and Doc
31anchard of Army.
It is the problem of the Cincin-
nati Bearcats as to how to corral
Jiese two yard-crazy Panhandlers
n New Year’s Day.
Cross, a bowlegged blonde who
s hardly bigger than a practice
ummy, hurdled his way to 1197
,-arda in 130 trips over, under and
hrough the opposition this year
as the Buffs swept to undisputed
>ossession of the Border Confer-
ence pennant. Wright, a runner
vith no idea which way his bony
cgs are flying and caring less
Masted out 1203 yards through the
•enter of enemy lines mainly or
heer power of running over any-
one who dared get In his way. His
otal was accumulated in 206 car-
es with the ball. *
However, rushing is not all
hese two football magicians o?
.imbrough's can do. Cross, des-
ite his meager 5’6 stature, led the
uffs in pass receiving with 2
ompletions for 454 yards. He also
uick-kicked twice for a 50-yarc
cciving only to his dynamic run-
ning mate. The hometown pro-
ducts snagged 16 aerials for 279
yards, returned 13 klck*ffs for 333
yards and crossed the double
stripe 20 times for lfcO points.
Both boys have four var*«t®
letters as a Buffalo regular and
both were named unanimously to
the All-Conference team this year.
Likewise, neither boy has been ln-
Uired enough to stay out of a game
In four years and they are usual-
ly the first up opt pf the pile.
