PETER PAUL’S
OPINION ON
SPORTS
Howard Payne, Defending Champs,
Removed From T. C. Title Race
Trinity University Only
Club Having Chance to
Catch Kangaroos
McMurry 13, Southwestern 12.
Standing
Teum— Wou Lost Tie Pet.
We received the following letter from Lester Jordan, sports writer
for the Waxahachie papers, in Monday’s mail:
• • •
Dear Peter:
, I will appreciate your sending me, by return mail, the names of
the four Southwestern football players In the order that you thinly
they should he given consideration for the all-star Texas Conference
team. .« . '
1 Trinity players deserving of honor are Pete Oole, 205-pound
tackle, ufhp is considered by many to be the outstanding lineman of
the loop; B511 Howarth, 195 pound end; H. A. Thompson, star salf-
back; and Goron Burker, 170 pound guard. All of these are juniors
except Howarth, who is a sophomre.
• • •
In our opinion, the four outstanding men on the Pirate club are Joe
Barnes, Max Busshart, Dusty Simmons and Leaf Erekson. Busshart
probably I ms thb best chance of the lot to get a berth on the conference
team, not because he is a better player than any of th others, but be-
cause he whs named on the. selection last year.
• • •
We believe J6e Barnes Is the finest back in the Texas Confer-
ence. If there is any better we would like to see him. Joe is capa-
ble of playing in any position In the .backfield and deserves a first
A string berth on any man's selection.
lew* o' iMT’innv’ m- ontf V'! • ................ .r
Biisty Simmons is one of the test guards we have seen, but he has
little chance of making the all-star team. Sports writers go a great deal
by weight, and Dusty weighs only 170 pounds. He is a fine blocker, and
is undoubtedly the smartest defensive guard in the loop.
• • •
Erekson Is never a great player, but he can always be depended
on to play a good, consistent game. He has been outstanding in ev-
ery game we have played this year, and the 1936 line is going to
suffer by his graduation.
j-M • •- * • *
Couser is a good man to have on almost any club; Orr is an ex el-
uent blocker and defensive man, and Mays, had he not been injured,
rould have deserved consideration at one of the end positions. These
rthree are sophomores.
e • e
Speaking of Couser reminds us that he did some mighty flue
punting in Saturday night’s game. Bay never kicked a ball to Pool,
the sensational Indian safety man, and all of his boots got away for
nice distances. Bay also did some accurate passing and good running

The Yellow Jackets saw their lead
hopes of repeating for the cham-
pionship washed out in a 14-0 loss
to the Hardin-Simmons Cowboys.
Hardin-Simmons, with a club regard-
ed superior to any in the race for
the championship, is not a contender

but its gamea count just th same

Princeton, N\ J., Nov. 18.—In the
opihiod of th6 serious-minded class of
1940 at Princeton, things to be desir-
ed at that university are music with
dinner and dinner without scrambled
eggs, larger cream pitchers at all
times, the addition of co-eds and
abolition of classes.
Otherwise, say the ffOsh, the place
is all right.

scored when Burns McKinney cross-
ed the goal line on an end run from
the two-yard line in the second quar-
ter, and when Crowell, tackle, cov-
ered a fumble in the end zone in
th last minute.
Finds Stride.
Austin College found
and romped over St. Edward's 26 to
7. Johnson, St. .John,. Terrell and
Harper scored for the Kangaroos,
and Fred Moses got St. Edward’s
lone tally in a 22-yard dash off
tackle.
Only Trinity is left to challenge
the Kangaroos. They will meet on
Thanksgiving Day, and even if Trin-
ity wins then to take the percent-
age lead, the exact status of the
race will be in doubt. Because of
Hardin-Simmons’ refusal to play
them, the Tigers have only five con-
ference games, as compared with a
conference schedule of six. Trinity,
now in second place, lost a 13-8 ver-
dict to the North Texas Teachers of
the Lone Star Conference last week.
Fails to Convert
Inability of the A. C. C. Wild-
cats to add point after touchdown
cost them for the fourth tiiqe this
season. They were beaten Friday
night, 7 to 6, by Daniel Baker. Little
place kicked conversion for the Hill
Billies after Payne had passed to
Davenport in the first period. The
Cats came back in the fourth with
an aerial touchdown, Owens to Stone,
but Owens’ try for point was wild.
A. C. C. lost to Trinity in a confer-
ence game by the same Hcore last
month, and has been tied by Austin
College, 6-6, and by North Texas
Teachers, 13-13.
McMurry trimmed Southwestern,
13 to 12, Saturday night in the Pi-
rates, homecoming game. That was
t' *h for the Buccaneers, but it on-
squared things for them, since
tneir only victory of the year 14 to
12, over St. Edward’s also was ac-
complished by adding points after
touchdowns. The Indians, scoring
both of their touchdowns on 'their
sensational aerial combination, Pool
to Anthony, rose to third place in
the confernce standing. Barnes
plunged for one Southwestern score,
and Couser passed to Swope for the
other.
Intracity Game
This week’s show will be headlined
by the sixth annual meeting of Abi-
lene’s intra-city rivals, McMurry and
Abilene Christian. They will clash
Saturday afternoon in the homecom-
ing game for both schools. The In-
dians! are favored. Southwestrn and
Daniel Baker will play in Brown-
wood in the only other conference
game. Hardin-Simmons will close its
schedule against the College of
Mines at El Paso, and St. Edward’s
will play Texas A. & I. in Kingsville-

he made 30 and 40 yard runs foir the
markers.
The Pirates led twice in the game.
They scored once in the third quarter
and again in the final period. The
Indians matched the touchdowns
its stride j qUickly, and Blackburn’s kick for ex-
tra point on their final tally gave
them their margin.
PIRATES THREATEN
The Pirates showed the first sign
of offense early in the first period.
Led by the sparkling off-tackle drives
of Joe Barnes, with an occasional pass
tossed in by their diminutive quarter-
back, Ray Couser, the Buccaneers
drove from their own 20 yard stripe,
down to the Indian 20 yard mark,
where the hull went over on downs.
Taking possession of the ball on
their own twenty yard line, allowing
considerable drive, the Indi ins used a
ground attack that carried them
down to the Pirate 30 yard marker,
where the Corsairs held and took
possession as the period ended.
BUGS DRIVE AGAIN
The Pirates made the only threat
of the second period when Rader
broke through and blocked a punt in
mid-field. The Pirates completed on
pass, putting the ball on the 25 yard
line. A minute later the threat was
stopped when Carter intercepted
Couser’s pass on the 20 yard line,
and the period ended after the vi.si-
ors had made two first downs, placing
the ball in mid-field.
F1REWORKB START
Fireworks started popping in the
second half. The Indians receive .
and returned the pigskin to the id
yard mark. A fiat zone pass, Pool
to Carter put the ball in mid-field. A
long pass and a spectacular latteral,
Pool to Meeks, Indian end, and Meeks
to Carter; put the ball on the Pirate
7 yard line. A fumble gave the Pi-
rates the ball and Couser kicked nice-
ly down the field. Pool attempted
another pass and Halamecik, Pirate
center, intercepted it and ran back
to the Indian 24 yard line. A series
of line smashes gave the Pirates a
touchdown, Barnes going over from
from the 2 yard mark. Barnes miss-
ed goal on the try for extra point.

LONG PASS WORKS
McMurry’s ace back, Pool, returned
the kickoff to the Pirate 45 yard line,
and two plays later threw a long
pass to Anthony, Indian full, who
caught the ball in the clear 'and
gandered across the goal line for the

wide and the score remained dead-
locked, 6 to 6.
The third period ended with the
Indians getting the ball on tlieir 20
yard line after a Pirate air attack
hogged down.
INDIANS OO AHEAD
A punt return by Ray Couser, Pi-

position. Joe Barnes spun through

passed to Swope, who was standing
across the goal line, for the Pirate’s
second marker giving them a 12 to
