Co-Champs Of SW
Conference Not
Shedding Tears
OUSTON, Sept. IS iU.K>—For a!
man who lo.< t six starting line-men
and a great fullback itorn a c<>-
championship club. Coach Jess
Neely of Rice might appear a bit
touched for not hauling around a
huge crying towel.
But, the taciturn, drawling Ricf
mentor is openly hopeful he'il
field a fine ball club again this
fall—maybe not quite as fine as
last year's Cotton Bowl champs,
or as good as maybe one or two
other Southwest Conference rivals,
but a creditable team.
Inexperienced hands dot his
three-deep lineup at virtually
every position with only four men
boasting more than 200 minutes
gaying time a year ago—halfbacks
icky Moegle and Gordon Kellog,
guard Kenney 1'aul and end Mar
shall Crawford.
There are four others—tackles
! Laytrm Oolemon and LftVon Cox,
' center Don Wilson and fullback
Mac Taylor—who played better
than 125 minutes.
Of the five other lettermen, half-
back Morris Stone played only 5.'$
minutes, quarterbacks Atchley
IVoctor and Pinky N'isbet played
only 70 and 88 minutes, respec-
tively, guard Lew Harpold got' in
only 7<> minutes and halfback Sam-
my Burk 94 minutes.
Burk is not among the top three
at his position and Cox is running
behind squadman Eddie Rayburn
at right tackle. Raybum played
only SB minutes last year.
Proctor and Nishiet, both of
whom reportedly have shown vast
improvement in passing techni-
ques, are running neck and neck
for the starting quarterback post;

Miiegle and either Stone or Hol-
land will be at the halves with
Taylor at full.
Crawford and Lamoiiie Holland,
a 25-minute player last fall, are
tabbed as the No. 1 ends; Gole-
mon and Rayburn at the tackles;
Paul and Harpold at guards and
Wilson at center.
Moegle, the scintillating "find"
of last year's Owl team, will carry
the brunt of the offense and has
shown no signs in practice of los-
ing any of the polish he displayed
last season.
Back of these men, Neely will
be relying on squadmen who had
no playing time and on sopho-
mores.
Still, Neely says it'll be a good
club if it has the "will to win."
Speed And Size
Stamp Texas As
Leading Team
AUSTIN, Sept. 15 <U.P> --Speed,
experience, size and denth stamp
the University of Texas Lopghorns
as one of the nation's better foot-
ball teams this fall.
Needless to say. then, that Coach
Ed Price's crew should be a war-
horse in their own Southwest Con-
ference circuit, where the rest of
the teams are- having difficulty
finding seasoned hands.
Barring a recurrence of the I9sll
debacle, which saw a highly-touted
Rose Bowl-bound Longhorn team
skid at year's end, Texas should
be able to lay full claim to the
championship come next Thanks-
giving Day.
Presence of 22 lettermen gives
Price two and three experienced
hands at virtually every position
and the quality extends so deep
that veterans are having trouble
battling squadmen ana sophomores
for starting berths on the "two-
platoon" team Texas hopes to
field.
The speed abounds in the back-
field, but the forward wall also
appears to be extremely mobile
despite its bulk.
Prom the schedule ahead, which
calls for Louisiana State, Notre
Dame, Washington State and Okla-
homa on successive Saturday's
prior to the always-bitter confer-
ence race, Texas will need whole-
sale helpings of everything on the
credit side at its ledger.
But, Texas appears to have the
"hosses," on offense with a very
talented junior quarterback in
Charley Brewer, a bevy of fleet
halfbacks headed by Delano Wo-
mack, George Robinson and Ches-
ter Siincik, ami a pair of fast,
hard-hitting fullbacks in Billy
Quinn and Bill Long.
All in alt, it looks like a Texas:
year.
