AUSTIN GAME FINALE FOR THESE
By MACK MACIIEN
Ilrand Sports Editor
Like nn angry Riant suddenly
aroused from n long.spell of sleeping
sickness Hardin - Simmons Cowboys
unleashed aggressive forces that had
been dormant until the final game of
the season and in the second half
jarred a hefty Austin college eleven
into oblivion with a barrage of touch-
downs Saturday afternoon on l'arrn-
moro field. The score was 45 to 0.
In handing the bigger and slower
Kangaroos who had previously play
cd to a tie Howard Payne 1D34 Texas
conference champions their worst
beating of the year the entire Cow-
boy team stood out with a dazzling
exhibition of speed blocking and
broken-field running. It was Buck
Howell who first aroused the crowd
of about 1000 with a series of light-
ning breezes around the ends for n
touchdown. Later Burgamy and Ad-
dington held the spot light with a
display of shifty ball carrying behind
excellent blocking led by Milby and
Harris.
103 Yard Run
The 103-yard return of the kick-off
at the beginning of the third period
by Estcs Burgamy furnished prob-
ably the biggest thrill of the game.
After failing to catch Buchanan's
kick the sophomore from Eastland
followed the ball back behind the
Cowboy goal line three yards be-
fore being able to tuck it in. He
came driving out of danger and on
the 10-yard line a block by Billy
Harris enabled him to get past a
group of encircling tncklers and cut
for the left side-line. Calloway
dropped the last man near mid-field
and Burgamy outdistanced the re-
mainder of the field.
The Cowhands wasted no time in
uncorking brilliant scoring plays for
the faithful fans that turned out to
see them perform for the last time
this season. Before losing possession
of the ball Hardin-Simmons march-
ed from midfield to the Austin 35.
Howell dashed around left end for a
scoro but the play was brought back
when one of his teammates wa3 guil-
ty of clipping.
Buck Breezes Over
Howell made his second trip into
pay territory soon after tho Cowboys
got the ball near midpoint after nn
exchange of punts. He outdistanced
the entire Austin club on a wide
sweep around the left and went over
untouched. Winters drop kicked the
goal and the scoro stood until tho
half Simmons 7 Austin 0.
Pete Tyler put Austin in a hole

ly successful seasons for the past

ing this period. Five conference
crowns have been annexed and a
sixth missed only by tho loss of ono
game.
Although this year's varsity will bo

high school stars.

thers who have preceded him in Hardin-Simmons.

Scribblers Threaten Twice
Only to Fall Short
By Feet
In tho initial intramural football
game of tho season played on Parra-
more field Tuesday of last week tho
Brand-Bronco griddcrs and the Min-
isterial Council parsons battled to a
0-0 deadlock.
It was a hard fought game from
start to finish with tho Journalists
keeping tho Preachers backed up near
their goal line most of the time. Tho
Journalists played a whale of an of-
fensive game until they would get in
scoring distance where their sustained
drive would bo stopped by the goal
line defense of the Parsons. Tho
game was marred by several fumbles
and passes that were dropped by tho
receivers.
Probnbly tho most outstanding play
of the gamo was tho interception of
a Minister pass by Collier Journalist
safety man. Collier intercepted the
pass in his own territory and weaved
his way through tho opposing play-
ers for about seventy yards beforo he
was brought down from behind by a
preacher tackier. Another beautiful
play was a scintilnting dash off tacklo
for thirty yards with Tom Province
substitute for Collier carrying tho
ball.
The worst casualty of tho melee
occurred in tho first play of the gamo
when Garth Scribbler guard wrench-
ed his elbow and was removed from
the game.
The Journalists made two impres-
sive drives for touchdowns but were
stopped on ono of tho ocensions by
tho undaunted defenso of the Preach-
ers and tho referee's whistlo stopped
tho other drive. The half ended with
the ball on tho two yard lino in pos-
session of the Journalists with second
down ami goal to go. Just beforo the
gamo ended tho Parsons were backed
up to their ono yard lino whero they
held tho Scribblers and punted out of
danger.

Cowmen Show Good Defense
But Offense Flashes
Only in Spots
Saturday afternoon November 24
a highly touted Tech team met un-
expected opposition In the form of a
fighting HSU Frosh squad. Through-
out the first half the Cowboy Frosh
displayed flashes of brilliant offen-
sive plays and a flawless defense
but lost 18 to 0.
With the wind to their backs the
Tech team registered a snfety on a
blocked punt. The ball rolled beyond
the H-S Frosh goal and tho score
was II. S. U. 0 Tech 2. At the end
of tho half the score remained the
same.
The Cowboy Frosh chose the wind
to their backs as the third quarter
began. Tech drove down the field
and scored on a 12 yard dash by
Murrill. In the fourth quarter the
Frosh were again forced to give up
a safety as a back was downed be-
hind his own goal. Tech again scored
on a pass late in the last period. With
but two minutes to play Tech gained
another safety as a Frosh player was
tackled behind his own goal. The
gome ended shortly with the score
Tech 18 H. S. U. Frosh 0.
A strong wind prevented much scor-
ing. About two hundred fans saw the
game. This ended the season for
both squads.

Enumeration of some of the values
we havo observed in the last two
months may go a step in proving our
aforementioned contention. Here's
our honor roll:
Pete Tyler equal to most S'west
fullbacks in carrying a major por-
tion of the mail also a good kicker
and hard tackier.
Henry Milby blocking half could
make anybody's ball club because of
his unerring tackling.
Buck Howell fastest man we have
ever seen in uniform. Any club can
always use such a speed merchant.

Indians smothered the Wildcats by

have played since they begun rivalry
in 1930. Tho Wildcats have scored
10 points to 37 for the Hodmen.

Tho game was played In Eagle sta
dium. Weather being savage with
mist and deep mud everywhere ex-
cept on tho field an expected 5000
to 0000 turnout had shrunk to a bare
2000 when Kefereo Vic Payno whis-
tled the kickoff at 2 p. m. An hour
later the high-prancing Braves left
tho field with a 27 to 0 victory after
having belabored the Cats very in-
dustriously for sixty minutes. It was
an Indian runaway from the start
for their second victory in tho compe-
tition which started in 1930 and look-
ing at tho statistics they should havo
won by nn even larger margin.

Tho Pre-Law and Commercial Clubs
won tho distinction of capturing the
first victory in tho intra-mural foot-
ball conference when they defeated
the Pre-Mcd team 19-0 Tuesday af-
ternoon at Parramoro field. Holmes
left hnlf for tho Pre-Laws accounted
for two of the touchdowns and
Grimes playing full back on tho same
tenm was responsible for the other
tally. All three were made after runs
of more than 65 yards.
The first touchdown came in the
latter part of the first period when
Grimes took Shclton's punt on his own
30 yard line and returned it 70 yards
for a score. Smith Pro-Law back
kicked the extra point.
Tho second ounrter was primarily a
gnmo of attempted passes and punts
for both teams and resulted in an
other touchdown for tho Lawyers
when Holmes intercepted a Pre-Med
pass on his own 35 yard stripe and
carried it through the entire Pre-Med
tenm for a touchdown. His try for
point was no good.
The Doctors did their best playing
in tho third period. Izzard accounted
for most of the yardage gained by the
Pre-Meds in this period. On running
plays ho gained more than 30 yards
and just before the end of tho period
he passed to Moore Pre-Mcd end for
15 yards.
Tho Lawyers did not wnit long af-
ter the start of tho final period to
make their final touchdown. Holmes
took tho ball on his own 30 yard line
and swept around right end for a 70
yard dash to tho goal line. Again
his trial for 'point was unsuccessful.
