Grid Intramurals
To Make New Start
"Men's intramural football will
start Monday even if I have to
come out and run it myself." That
was Coach Mel Jowcll's statement
earlier this week in regard to in-
tramural grid play which failed
to start last week.
Intramural director Jowell at-
tributes the reason for "no games"
to several things. It seems Jowell
was unable to obtain officials for
the contests to have the playing
field prepared and to obtain the
necessary equipment; mainly 12
red flags one of which must hang
from the rear belt of each player.
"With Homecoming on us like it
was we really should have never
scheduled games in the first
place" Jowell asserted.
Six teams are entered in the
tournament which will consist of
each playing each other team
once. Entries are Freshmen Soph-
omores Ko Sari Kiva IHR and
Forum. Each roster contains not
more than 10 players. A team con-
sists of six players. Contests will
start promptly at 5 p. m. on the
area northwest of Gold Star
Dorm.
i
New complete schedule for next
week is as follows:
Monday Oct. 20 Forum vs.
Kiva.
Tuesday Oct. 21 Freshmen vs.
Sophomores.
Wednesday Oct. 22 IHR vs.
Ko Sari.
Thursday Oct. 23 Forum vs.
Freshmen.
Friday Oct. 24 Sophomores
vs. IHR.

PREDICTIONS
GRIDSTER S1SS0N
GETS 14 ALSO $1
Billy Wayne Sisson is last
week's winner in the War
Whoop's guessing game. He pre-
dicted the correct outcome of 14
of the 20 games listed. The Ten-nessee-Vanderbilt
game resulted
in a tie thus making Bill's of-
ficial score read 14 right and 5
wrong.
While Bill takes home the one
dollar prize for predicting the
most winners the War Whoop
still has its hands on the two
dollars offered the contestant
guessing the exact score of the
Dallas-Chicago Bears game. One
entry came fairly close by guess-
ing Dallas 21 Chicago 34. The of-
ficial score was Dallas 20 Chi
ago 38.
This week the McMurry-ACC
game is designated as the game
for predicting the exact score.
The contest is to fill in the score
for this game while only checking
the winner of the remaining nine-
ten. Entries must be turned in
at the War Whoop office by 5
o'clock this afternoon.

DANGEROUS WILDCAT Jimmy Hirth 169-pound right half-
back for ACC could give the Indians plenty of trouble when the
two teams battle tonight in Fair Park. Only a freshman Hirth un-
reeled dassling touchdown runs of 46 and 31 yards in the Wild-
cat's 21-0 shellacking of the Midwestern Indians 'Cst coaches are
hoping he will continue to give ACC the break-away threat it his
needed for several seasons.
TC ROUNDUP
CONFERENCE PLAY
STARTS TONIGHT
Texas Conference elevens be-
gin league play this afternoon and
it will be a welcomed relief by
most of the five teams.
Against outside opposition
the Texas Conference lads
haven't done too well: win-
ning only five games of 14
played. Last week for in-
stance they did better than
usual but still only broke
even.
Austin College pulled the "iron
man" stunt by playing two
games in one week but won only
one of them. The Kangoroos lost
to the University of Mexico 21-7
Monday in the Cotton Bowl at
the Texas State Fair and beat
East Central Oklahoma 46-7 on
Saturday. Howard Payne whip-
ped Texas Lutheran 39-9 but
Texas A&I lost to Sam Houston
State 41-14. McMurry and ACC
had open dates.
Four of five teams play
