Quarterback Meet
The smallest crowd of the season
attended Tuesday night’s meeting
of the local Quarterback club, the
last meeting of the current season.
Lt,H H. Morris, athletic direc-
tor of the 84th division here, was in
charge of the program. -
Sound films on golf and tennis
were shown, in which the world’s
greatest players demonstrated and
explained the fundamentals of each
sport.
Coach Burns McKinney showed
films of the Sherman-Gainesville
game, in which the Bearcats nosed
out the Leopards, 7 to 6.

Ci
Broncs perform this season, so we
can’t say from experience just how
hot they are. We do know that
many of our friends say that in
Zeke Martin the Broncs have the
best high school passer in Tekas.
Coach Morris, who scouted the
Denton crew, says he saw Mar-
tin complete ten passes against
Greenville for a total of ,395 yards,
or 39.5 yards per toss, which is
good enough to beat most any club,
Morris, too, says Martin is the
best passer he's seen in at least
four years.
The Broncs have another boy
for whom we ha ve, wholesome re-
spect. He's Bill Crpmer, the boy
‘who showed up so Well here last
season. Though Denton lost by a
sizeable margin, Cromer was the
best man on the field. And the
other two backs, Schlinat and
Waldrip, though not in a class
with these other two boys, are
pretty fair hands behind the line.
However, other than Abbey’s abil-
ity to snag passes at an end posi-
tion, the forward wall isn’t so hot.
The Leopard fron lipe oughta
mow 'em down.
FODDER . . . Coach Dana Bible
of Texas U. says his Longhorns
will be at full strength against
the Aggies tomorrow in that
grudge battle. And Aggie injuries
are healing, so there’ll be no alibis
for the losers. . . . Today’s the date
for that Wog-Colt game, annual
battle between freshmen squads
from Texas Christian and South-
ern Methodist. Two former Leop-
ards will battle against each other.
Bill Marshall over at Frogville and
David Wyatt at S. M. U. Hope
both boys show up well but that
the Colts win. Strange, isn’t it!
. . . Roy Brazelton and Bill Block,
representing the Quarterback
Club, pulled a good stunt at pep
assembly this morning. They
brought down those two young jit-
terbug specialists from Booker T.
Washington, and maybe you think
the high school students didn’t go
for them. They look like they are
about eight years of age and both
can really cut a rug. . . Now if the
Leopards can generate that much
pep they oughta be a cinch over
the Broncs. . . . High school band
will parade downtown tomorrow
morning at 11 o’clock. Look for
’em. .... You can still get tickets
to the game at the Chamber of

NEW YORK, Nov. 25 (AP). —
Taking one last whirl at the foot-
ball guessing game and breathing
a huge sigh of relief that it’s all
over for another year (or more):
Thanksgiving Day
Cornell-Penn: Three weeks ago
this would have looked like a push-
over for Penn. But now Penn has
dropped its last two starts while
Cornell, sparked by Wally Kretz,
has won its last two. Still, stub-
bornly, Penn.
Kansas-Missouri: The Tigers
were not exactly world-beaters
against Fordham but they should
be plenty good enough to take this
one and thus retain the Big Six
crown. Missouri. • f
Arkansas-Tulsa: The Razorbacks
are the last obstacle blocking an
unbeaten, untied season for Tulsa.
We’ll take Tulsa but with con-
siderable misgivings in view of
Arkansas’ upset of Detroit last
week.
Louisiana State-Tulane: Both are
spotty and the point is which one
is going to be “up” for this climax
game. Merely guessing, Tulane.
, Texas A. & M.-Texas: Noth-
ing is sure in the Southwest
conference any season but
most particularly this one.
Tossing t' e coin ... Texas.
William & Mary-Richmond: This
should clinch the Southern confer-
ence title for William & Mary’s
good outfit.
Great Lakes-Northwestern:
Doubt that Northwestern can whip
itself up for this anti-climax. Great
Lakes.
Wak Forest-South Carolina:
Taking Wake Forest.
Virginia Tech-Virginia Military:

doubtful condition.

predicated on the possible false .. - .. ....
assumption that the season ended than on the fie.d of battle,
for Ohio State last week when the Title ties are possible in most
of them although it would take
some jarring upsets to change the
present picture. Such ties would
have to be decided by district com-
mittees.
Five champions already have
been named: Bowie (El Paso) in
District 4. Lufkin in District 12,
Goose Creek in District 14. Austin

Nine titles go on the line tomor-

Amarillo. If Pampa wins it can tie
Amarillo for first place. If Ama-

seats at the Quarterback Club last
night, the crowd being the small-
est of the year. It was the last
meeting of the current season.
Coach McKinney showed films of
the Sherman - Gainesville game
and Lt. H. H. Morris, athletic di-
rector of the 84th division here,
showed pictures on golf and tennis
in which the masters in each sport
explained the fundamentals. What
few were there enjoyed the pro-
gram.
Martin is ace of the backfield
touted as one of the best in the
state. Out last season with a
broken leg, the Brone star has
been the sparkplug of the club all
year, and his passing is said to be
as good as the best in high school
football. 1
Whereas he sparks Denton’s
passing game, Bill Cromer is the
big gun over land. The 175-pounder
is an excellent plunger and off-
tackle smasher, who last season, as
a one-man ball club, put up an in-
teresting battle here before bow-
ing to the Leopards. These two are
aided by a couple of light but fleet
youngsters, Schlinat and Waldrip.
The former is exceptionally fleet
of foot,- the other a line crasher
and blocker. Abbey at end is a
strong pass receiver, having caught
most of Martin’s touchdown heaves
this season?
Line Is Weak Spot
The line, however, is the weak
spot of the Brone eleven. The front
wall is made up principally of in-
experienced boys who as yet have
not "shown too much strength this
season.

If the locals were playing the
sort of ball of which they’re ca-
pable we’d pick ’em to ride those
Broncs all over the gridiron, but
since we base our picks on past
performances our guess is the
Brones will take their first win
over a Gainesville team in several
years here Thursday afternoon. If
they do it’ll be, more or less, with
a two-man team.
BLOOD WILL FLY OVER in
Denison, where the Yellow Jackets
• try for their first grid title in his-
tory against the Sherman Bear-
cats. As we’ve often stated and
hereby reiterate, dope means noth-
ing when these two teams meet.
Nothing could be sweeter for the
Cats than to knock their old ene-
mies out of the flag, and they'll do
it, too, if humanly possible. The
way the Jackets have been going
this season, though, we doubt sri-
ously if Sherman can take em.
Seems to us Pattison has a sweet-
operating ball club, one that womt
be pushed around by an inferior!
outfit, and certainly Sherman does
not rate on a par this year with
the Jackets—not by a whole lev
‘We’ll take the Jackets to win, but
after a hard fight.
Win or lose, the Leopards can
look back over a season in which
their year’s average is lower than
that any Gainesville team has
marked up in several years.
At that, a win over the Denton-
ites would give the locals five vic-
tories as against four defeats, or
an average of .556, which is better
than many teams in the Texas In-
terscholastic league can boast.
To date Victories have been
scored over ’ Arlington Heights,
Mineral Wells, Greenville and Bon-
ham. LosSshave been to Polytech-
nic, Sherman. Denison and Paris,
the last three district engagements.
The Denton club the locals are
facing this season isn’t the Brone
organization of the last few years.
Heretofore they have come here
with only an outside chance to up-
set the Leopards, but Thursday
they rate better than an even
i chanye to take home the bacon.
Have Good Record
The Broncs are the No. 2 team
in District 6-AA, second only to
Highlands Park, an outfit that had
to come from behind in the last
half to win in their annual confer-
ence clash. They have defeated all
other District 6 teams.
Lafest victims were the Green-
ville Lions, whom the Broncs
licked. 16 to 6. It was in this game

pleted 10 heaves for a total of 395
