Tonto Coleman’s Abilene Chris-
tian College Wildcats do battle to-
night with Western Colorado
State’s Mountaineers at 8 p.m. at
Fair Fak Stadium.
The Colorado aggregation, news
comers to the grid warfare in this
section, will help the Purple-clad
hilltop residents stage their second
local football show of the 1948 sea-
son.
The Mountaineers, who hail from
Gunnison, Colo., are members of
the Rocky Mountain Conference.
Eighteen lettermen are back from
last year’s squad. They boast a
13 0 win over their arch rivals,
Colorado College.
While the ACC team was beaten
in its first two starts this year,
falling before West Texas State
and Arkansas, the Wildcats
jumped back in the win column
last week with a 27-0 victory
over Southwestern University of
Georgetown.
V. T. Smith, star back for the
‘Cats, has been on the ailing list
during the past week, but is ex-
peeted to see some action tonight.
ACC will play host to 2,000 high
school students from this section
of West Texas tonight.

Eagles Fall 20-6
Before Bronchos
Odessa’s Bronchos, smarting
- from the 33 to 6 lacing they suffer-
ed last week at Amarillo, bounded
back into the win column last night
at the expense of Coach Pete Shot-
well’s Abilene Eagles, who went
down fighting beneath a 20 to 6
score at Odessa.
Approximately 14,000 fans were
on hand in Odessa’s new stadium
as the Brones cashed in on long
scoring jaunts-one a pass inter-
ception—to keep their District 3AA
record unsmirched.
Elsewhere in the league, San An-
gelo’s Bobcats smacked Lamesa
20 to 0 in the only other conference
game. The remaining members
stepped outside the 3AA confines

wood 34 to 7 at Brownwood.
Big Spring surprised in defeating
Brownfield 34 to 27, while Sweet-
water continued to show power in
trouncing Plainview of 1AA, 27 to

EAGLES LACK OFFENSE
Abilene’s Warbirds turned in a
commendable defensive perfor-
mance but lacked the offensive
punch against the Red Hosses of
Coach Joe Coleman, Jimmy Patter-
son scored for the Brones on a 60-
yard sweep shortly after the open-
ing kickoff. During the second per-
iod, the Eagles once drove to the
Odessa 7-yard line where the Hosses
held for downs.
A fumble put the Eagles in a bad
hole in the third quarter. Dean Mo-
Cullough recovering for Odessa on
the the Abilene 14. This time Shot-
well’s charges stiffened and wound
up recovering an Odessa fumble on
the Abilene five.
Sonny Mobley broke away for the
tally that broke the Eagles’ hearts
four minutes after the final period
opened. Sonny Mobley scooted 52-
yards for this one and Odessa had
another score moments later when
Patterson intercepted an Abilene
pass and raced 66 yards for the
final Brone marker.
Little Prentice Martin intercept-
ed an Odessa pass to set up the
lone Abilene tally. He hauled in the
heave on the Odessa 35 and got
back to the 12 before, he was
caught. He plugged for, ten

Scores Lone
State Upset
By WILBUR MARTIN
Associated Press Staff .. .
Texas schoolboy football weath
ered the first round of heavy fir-
ing in payoff competition last night
and the only major upset was
Gladewater’s 14-7 victory over un-
beaten but once-tied Marshall.
One eleven with a perfect record
fell in an intersectional game. Aus-
tin of El Paso bowed to Waite of
Toledo, O., 20-13.
Three of the remaining ten un-
defeated, untied teams go into ac-
tion tonight.
The number of unbeaten but tied
teams is now four.
Milby (Houston), Sweetwater,
Henderson, Waco and Alice pro-
tected perfect slates last night.
Stephenville and Port Arthur were
idle.
South Park (Beaumont), Bay-
town and San Benito are the once
tied elevens.
A m a rillo, Arlington Heights
(Fort Worth) and John Reagan
(Houston) lay clean records on the
line tonight.
Amarillo meets Woodrow Wilson
of Dallas in the cotton bowl; Ar-
ling" on Heights tangles with Amon
Carter - Riverside in a city con-
ference tilt and Reagan plays Sam
Houston in another city district
tilt. All are expected to win hand-
ily.
Milby downed Jeff Davis of
Houston, 13-6; Sweetwater blanked
Plainview, 27-0; Henderson rolled
over Longview, 13-0; Waco blast-
ed Waxahachie, 29-7; and Alice
stomped Brownsville, 26-0.
South Park beat Galveston, 14-
6; Baytown walloped Beaumont,
27-0, and San Benito smashed
Kingsville, 25-7.
Borger derailed Lubbock, 20-14.
in an important District 1-AA con-
test; Odessa and San Angelo
scored convincing 3-AA victories
over Abilene and Lamesa respect-
ively, and Texarkana flashed a
warning to other 8-AA clubs with
a 38-7 triumph over Tyler.
Little Alamo Heights, stepping
out of class A this year, smothered
San Antonio Tech, 25-14, to loom
as top challenger to mighty Brack-
enridge in the San Antonio division
of the city conference.
NEW YORK, Oct. 16. (P)—This is
“or else’ day for champions and
would-be champions of the major
college football conferences.
The big boys in practically every
league run up against bullies their
own size. To keep title hopes alive,
they must win these jousts-
or else.
The day’s top test is at Ann Ar-
bor where Michigan, the Western
Conference champion, is host to
high-geared Northwestern. Both
are unbeaten and untied. Some-
thing has to give.
Pennsylvania, Ivy League title-
holder and unbeaten since 1946,
faces Lou Little’s always danger-
ous Columbia Gamboleers. Penn
is favored.
In the Southeastern Conference,
Mississippi, with three league vie-
tories on its unspoiled record, in-
vades New Orleans to tackle a
Tulane team that bumped Al-
abama and South Carolina.
North Carolina, the nation’s top
ranked eleven according to the
latest Associated Press poll, has
an afternoon’s work cut out for it
at Chapel Hill where it faces North
Carolina State, a family rival that
is traditionally troublesome.
California, unblemished Pacific
Coast favorite, opens league play
at Berkeley against Oregon State,
figured a stout contender in pre-
season ratings.
The wide open Southwest race
gets interesting with Southern
Methodist’s titlists playing at Rice
and Texas entertaining Arkansas
at Austin.

ALBUQUERQUE, N. M., Oct. 16.
(—Smarting from a week old loss
to Arizona, the Hardin : Simmons
Cowboys flew in Friday hopeful for
a change of football fortune in a
game with the New Mexico Lobos.
. Their bout tonight (8 p. m. MST)
should have important bearing on
how each will fare in this year’s
Border Conference race. Fans
rated Hardin-Simmons at least a
mild favorite. .
Coach Warren Woodson brought
a 33-man Cowboy squad, including
several regulars still lamed from
their bruising battle with Arizona.
They stepped from a plane after
• three-hour flight from Abilene,
Tex., to hold limbering up exer-
cises with quiet grimness Friday
afternoon.
By contrast, the New,Mexico
club took over the field for a pep
pery drill hinting Lobo dreams of
victory for the first time in three
meetings with Hardin-Simmons.
Both found a turf slightly spongy
from showers Thursday. It prom-
ised to be in perfect condition by
game time.
Woodson said Guard Jack Smith
definiteig was sidelined for the
contest. Paul Bailey, another
guard, also was crippled but avail-
able for place-kicking it needed.
Recovered from pre-season injur-
les, Paul Frost was expected to
start at guard for the first time
this fall. .
Coach Berl Huffman’s Lobos
were reported in top condition
with the single exception of Herb
Cook, injured first string back.
The cowboys were expected to
rely principally on a running
game featuring Wilton (Hook)
Davis, tricky halfback who was the
nation’s leading ground gainer in
1047. After a 7-7 tie with Cincinnati
and a 20-14 loss to Arizona, they
are still after their first victory
this year.-----
A week devoted to offensive drill
for the first time this season Indi-
cated the Lobos probably would
mix things up. Kingpins in the at-
tack are all-conference Rudy
Krall, a power fullback, and Jerry
McKown, passing quarterback.
Last week the Lobos knocked over
New Mexico ALM 61-0. Previous-
ly they beat Colortiao 0-6 and were
humbled 47-0 by Texas.
