The Sulphur Springs Wildcats
will welcome the rain and mud
when they tackle the highly rated
Handley Greyhounds at 8 o’clock
tonight under the arc lights at
Handley.
Sulphur Springs will be helped
in a fashion by the heavy down-
fall of rain because the wily Ken
W’illiford will be restricted on his
pass plays.
Coach Paul Jones said his Wild-
cats welcome the underdog role
and he added that this Wildcats
were happy to see the rain come
because they like to play in the
mud. In practice sessions, the
Cats have been highly eager to
mix it up during showers.
The Sulphur Springs coaches
were not so happy about the rain
since they wanted to test the im-
provement of the W’ildcat pass
defense.
Handley will recall the way
fumbles set up their 20-7 tri-
umph over Sulphur Springs last
year at Wildcat Stadium and the
Greyhound* will be all set and
primed to repeat the feat.

enced than last year.
Mike Brittain has been tabbed
by Coach Jones as the starting
quarterback for the Wildcats. He
is stronger this year and has de-
veloped into the leading passer
for the Cats. If he tires, the boy
to spell him may be sophomore
Larry Blunt.
Both stalwarts will have their
hands full trying to match the
grid tricks of Williford and Com-
pany. The Greyhounds will be
confident with a 13-0 triumph
over Seagoville already behind
them.

Defensive wise, the Wildcat
lineup will be composed largely
of the same players as the offen-

may be changed somewhat. Terry

backfield along with Moss, Harred
and either Brittain or Jerry Ren-
fro.

As a matter of fact, the U9GA

make the Amateur a healthier

Kramer will coach the Ameri-
can Davis Cup team before his
men partici pate in Australian
tournaments in January, when he
hopes to have the contracts of
Anderson and Cooper. Another
American tour starts on Feb. 18.
Barry MacKay, Hatn .Richard-
son, Olmedo and Sarartiy Giam-
malya will comprise this year’s
American Davis Cup team. The
steadier Olmedo may play in sin-
gles unless Perry Jones, the new
nonplaying skipper, has a hunch
MacKay is about to throw one of
his days. The doubles pair will be
Richardson and Olmedo, who cap-
tured this year’s national title.
The defection of Anderson and
Cooper would hurt Australia’s
chances, of course, but there is a
seemingly liever ending flow of
talent from there which in 1959
would be headed by a pair of 22-
year-olds, Rod Laver and Bobby
Mark.
As for our future, Kramer and
Talbert like Don Kierbow, 23,
but this Los Angeles dark horse
requires tournament experience.
Chris Crawford, 19, of Piedmont,
Calif., performed brilliantly in
the Amateur. The brighter pros-
pects among the kids are the St
Louis 17-year-oids, Butch Buchols
and Chuck McKinley, and Ralston
Dennis, 16, of Bakersfield, Calif!

Cup star of the mid-1980'a, and

conference football fracas Thurs-
day at Wildcat Stadium.
Scatback Larry Little was the
lad who plunged through the mid-
dle of the Sulphur Springs line to
score midway through the final
quarter.
A series of penalties and a
short kick by the Kittens set up
the score for the Hunt County
visitors and defending loop cham-
pions. After the Greenville elev-
en had taken over on the Sulphur
Springs 16, the Kittens drew a
14-yard penalty for a personal
foul which placed the ball on the
yard line. Little tallied on
next try.
le Kittens toughened when
tried the same stunt for
extra point and tha count remain-
ed at 6-0.
Penalties dashed offensive ef-
forts of both clubs continuously
and took a second touchdown
eway from Greenville. Greenville
was penalized a total of 89 yards
and Sulphur Springs was penalis-
ed 84 yards. Many othsr penal-
ties were refused by each team.

Sulphur Springs will give away
approximately 16 pounds per man
on offense, but the margin will
be only 12 pounds on defense. The
Wildcat Offensive eleven averages
158 and Handley unit averages
174 per starter.
The Cats suffered a setback
Friday when the Interscholastic
League informed school officials
that sophomore Mike Broyles will
not be eligible to compete this
year. Jones was counting heavily
on Broyles as a starting halfback
on defense. The young quarter-
back recently moved to Sulphur
Springs from W'innsboro and had
been improving rapidly in recent
practice sessions.
and Randy Wilkie did well run-
ning tke ball. Bill Alford and
Jimmey Haney were outstanding
on defense for the Kittens.
Sulphur Springs and Greenville
matched in the first down depart-
ment with six each. The Kittens
completed two of seven passes in
comparison with one completion
in three tries for the Cubs.
Coach John Byers was pleased
with the defensive work of *his
Kittens, but he frowned when he
talked about the blocking of the
Sulphur Springs players. He
blamed poor blocking on the fact
that the boys did not know their
plays very well.
“We looked good on defense.
Greenville never would have
scored if it hadn’t beeh for all
those penalties. We will know our
plays better next week and should
be an improved ball club,” Byers
declared.

when Johnny Busso meets Carlos

Another Southwest Conference
football campaign opens Satur-
day and this one looks more wide
open than any since the war yeaiH
when Texas was a certainty to
win the title.
It will be wide open in several
ways — there isn’t a really out-
standing favorite in the field and
there appears a tendency to bring
the game back to the fans through
elimination of some of the dull
head-knocking routine that only
the split T could produce.
The single wing, a formation
that brings action in the open,
will be back with the coming of
Jim Myers to Texas A4M. Ar-
kansas will have an approach to
the single wing with its wing T
as brought in by Frank Broyles.
Texas Christian obviously will
throw some passes this time, in
contrast to the past several years
when the Horned Frogs did
nothing much except run with the
ball. Coach Abe Martin found you
couldn’t expect to win consistent-
ly if you did only one thing and
the opposition knew it. Also, he
arrived at the conclusion that the
fans deserved a better shake.
Baylor has worked out a for-
mation that should open up the
game whether the Golden Bears
win or not. Southern Methodist
is bound to throw high, wide and
handsome since it has a more ex-
perienced Don Meridith.
So, it’s opportune to thank that
the most exciting football cam-
paign yet will unfold this autumn.
The Southwest Conference has an
ambitious 20-game intersectional
schedule that could bring it great
national glory if it cashed in on
it. Chances are that it won’t be-
cause the league definitely is
down in experience and ability.
But perhaps it can make things in-
teresting with razzle-dazzle foot-
ball. .
It would be nice if the Texas-
Oklahoma game managed to give
the crowd a few real thrills. Dur-
ing the past 10 years this contest
has been about the dullest of the
season.
Back in the days when the
Southwest Conference was noted
as the passingest league in the
country, it won its greatest na-
tional glory. That came in the
thirties when, within five year?,
it has three national champions.
There was no T formation and
ball control hadn’t been seriously
tried.
Perhaps the conference is going
at least partially back to that. It
couldn’t hurt the record material-
ly since the record hasn't been
too good under the ball-control,
head-knocking era anyway.
Most everybody has a different
idea about who’s going to win the
conference championship. Texas
Christian seems to have a slight
lead but Southern Methodist and
Texas are barked ilmeii as
much. Looking over the rosters
one would wonder also if Rice and
Texas AAM shouldn’t be rated
with the best. Rice should be as
strong as last season. ARM has
more outstanding individuals than
anybody.
