Must Halt
McDonald
Dallas, Oct. 12 (Special) —
The llttlest man on the Phila-
delphia Eagles roster poses
the biggest problem to the
Dallas Cowboys as they pre-
pare for Sunday’s National
Football League game in the
Cotton Bowl. Kickoff time is
1:35 p. m.
The little man who’s always
there in the Eagle passing at-
tack is Tommy McDonald, the
former Oklahoma Sooner All-
America.
Sooner fans in town for
the big Texas - OU game Sat
urday remember Tommy as a
speedy little halfback who won
the Maxwell Club Award as
the nation’s outstanding col-
legiate football player in 1956.
NFL fans know him as a
bothersome 172 . pound wing-
back who has developed into
possibly the most dangerous
pass catcher in the league in
the last two seasons. The 6-10
Sooner scooter ground out
more records last season than
a carload of hill-billy singers
in Nashville.
He caught 64 passes for
1,144 yards and 13 toue'ndwons,
all Eagles club records. His
yardage and touchdown catches
also led the league. This sea-
son, he’s working even faster.
Tommy leads the NFL with
24 receptions for 412 yards and
three touchdowns through the
first four games.
In fact, the Eagles’ attack
is built almost entirely around
the battery cf Quarterback
Sonny Jurgenson and McDon-
ald. The Eagles arc first in the
N F L in passing yardage
<1,079) and are last in rush-
ing yardage (219).
Tommy will carry an added
burden into the Cowboys game.
This means the Dallas club will
be able to concentrate even
more on stopping McDonald.
But, this doesn’t mean
they’ll be able to.

THE FARAWAY — Ty Cobb executed the fallaway slide,
stealing 96 bases for the Detroit Tigers in 1915. Maury
Wills, who broke the seasonal major league mark, might
call this the faraway. The picture gives you a rough idea of
how far from the bag the Los Angeles Dodgers’ star starts
his slide. Shortstop covering second is Dal Maxvill of' Cards.

Greenville’s first unit fresh-
man used two Sulphur Springs
mistakes to take an early 14-
0 lead, theh hung on against
a late Wildcat passing attach
to score a 20-14 victory in
Greenville Thursday.
Greenville scored first fol-
lowing a bad Sulphur Springs
punt late in the first quartejr.
The second touchdown came
after an intercepted pasp.
Sulphur Springs rebounded
on the last play of the first
half with Ike Harper tossing a
scoring pass to Richard Stout
on a play covering 50 yards.
The extra point bid failed.
Danny Sanders broke over
tackle for 35 yards and the
third Greenville touchdown
early in the fourth quarter.
Sulphur Springs then started
moving through the air.
Stout scored the second
touchdown on a three-yard run
and ran over the extra points.
Sulphur Springs got the ball
with two minutes left and drove
deep into Greenville territory
before time ran out.
“We tried to run in the first
half and didn’t have much
luck,” coach Ben Brooks said.
“In the second half our kids
started throwing and did a real
good job. If we had been able
to run two or three more plays
1 believe we could have
scored.”
The freshmen will host the
Commerce B team at Wildcat
Stadium next Thursday at 7

Lions Hit Sam Hou
Commerce, Oct. 12 (Special)
— East Texas State, with re-
newed energy, turns its atten-
tion this week to the contest
with defending champion
Sam Houston, which shut out
the Lions last year 14-0. Sat-
urday night the Bearkats tied
Howard Payne 0-0, while the
Lion? were tying conference
favorite Texas A & I, 3-3.
Coach Paul Pierce’s Bear-
kats now have n 1-1-1 record
and Lions 2-1-1. According to
assistant coach Ernest Haw-
kins, who scouted Sam Hous-
ton last week, the Bearkats
have a fundamentally sound
attack
gressive running game, ” Haw- them from making the big ban from 22 yards *w*y JuSt
kins said. “They play conserva- play, he said. “The fact that; 87 seconds before the final
tively, gamble very little and j their fast bucks didn’t break
have an excellent punter.”
He said that the Bearkats,
using the wing-T formation,
combined with their favorite lj?am€Sj
play, the quick pitch to the:,„,n J,
halfback, were e f f ec t i v e
against Howard Payne, even
though the game ended in a
stalemate.
Lion Coach J. V. Sikes said
he was “pleased” about team
performance in the game with
Texas A & I, the club picked
as most likely to capture the
Lone Star Conference crown.
“We contained their offense
incomplete. Coach Sikes said
that several pass plays were
caHed but that they were op-
tions and were run instead.
Prior to the A&I game East
Texas had tossed 44 passes for
16 completions.
ETSC scored in the second
quarter with a 31-yard boot by
Marion Turner and A & I’s
“They have a real big, ag-' very nicely and prevented I Mario Mean split the cross-
loose is complimentary to oor
defense.”
Quite contrary t o past
the Lions threw only
two passes, both of which were
gun.
No Lion injuries were *e-
ported in the A&I game and
Coaeh Sikes isn’t contemplat-
ing any drastic changes in tfo
lineup or defensive taoties. He
said that some of the boys
had the nsual bruises, let that
he didn’t think anyone would
be absent for this week^
game.
It is an 8 p. m. game at
Huntsville. The East Texas
State Band, under the direc-
tion of Dr. Neill Humfield,
will also make the trip and per-
form at halftime.

All-Slar Game
Cut Planned
New York, Oct. 12 iA*> — The

The 1964 game is scheduled
for New York at the home of

EYE CARE
A p p r o x i mately 500,000
Americans are slowly losing
their vision because of glau-
coma . . . and-a great number
of these people are unaware of
the d.sease.
The average American has
his eyes examined only once in
five years—time enough for a
serious eye affliction to de-
velop.
One of the main reasons we
neglect our eyes is because
usually there is no pain asso-
ciated with eye disorders and,
teeth, we assume there is no
trouble present.
Yet if we were to have our
eyes examined every two years,
most eye afflictions could be
discovered and corrected. The
high rate of blindness could be
cut in half.
Vanity plays a major part
in our neglect of our eyes. We
feel that we may have to wear
old fashioned glasses that will
make us look older.
Contact lenses have solved
this problem to a large extent
hut reluctance to visit an eye
doctor still exists to an alarm-
ing degree.
The National Eye Research
Foundation estimates that
there are 50 million people in
this country in need of eye
care. Most of these people will
neglect their condition either
through ignorance of the con-
sequences or an unwillingness
to have their vision checked.
Don’t take chances with
your most precious possession
— your vision. Make an ap-
pointment for an eye exami-
nation soon.

THE WEEKLY SPORTS POTPOURRI looks like this . . .
New York’s winning pitcher in the fifth game of the World
Series, Ralph Terry, says he feels like somebody has lifted a
big burden off his shoulders. Prior to heating the Giants, 5—1,
Terry had been a hard-luck World Series pitcher with an 0-4
record.
And he had been carrying around the stigma as the one
who threw the home run ball to Pittsburgh’s Bill Mazeroski that
ended the 1960 series. Now Terry says, “I feet like I’ve crashed
through a big barrier, or something. It’s a wonderful feel-
ing. . .
Rookie Tom Tresh, the hero of Wednesday’s game, says he
always wanted tc be a big league ball player like his dad. But he
says he did not want to be a catcher, which was his father’s
position. Tom explains, “Dad was afraid it would waste my
speed. .

YOU HAVE TO BE bi* to play football. Oh, yeah? Three
mighty mites, none weighing over 170 pounds, lead the three
major individual offense departments in college football. Eldon
Forite, 167-pound tailback at Brigham Young leads in total of-
fense with 886 yards; Pistol Pete Pedio, 160-pounder from
West Texas State, is the rushing leader at 621; Detroit's 168-
pound quarterback, Jerry Gross, leads the passers. . . .
Dallas Cowboy Don Perkins gained 74 yards to 71 yards
for Clevelander Jim Brown in their head-to-head meeting last
week. That three-yard edge enabled Perkins to move into a tie
with Brown as the NFI.’s second leading rusher behind Jim
Taylov of the Packers. Both Brown and Perkins have 331 yards.
Of course Perkins has carried 70 times to just 49 for Brown . . .
Everyone knows that the home field has little or no ad-
vantage in the professional football ranks. The best players al-
ways win. Of course, counting pre-season play, the Dallas Tex-
ans are 13-5 at home and only 16-14 on the road, but then . . .

IT’S OFFICIAL, PAUL HORNUNG is human after all. The
The Green Bay great (and he’d be the first to agree to that
statement, incidently) admits he broke one of the basic rules
of place kicking on that 21-yard field goal that beat the Detroit
Lions 9-7 in the last 33 seconds last Sunday.
“I couldn’t help hut look a little,” the NFL scoring leader
said. “I know you’re supposed to keep your head down, but I
had to look up.” Green Bay Coach Vince Lombardi said, “Our
linemen had to block the toughest front four in football. Nobody
runs helter-skelter against that outfit. . . ”
This Texas-Oklahoma series that resumes Saturday after-
noon at the Cotton Bowl has been a real good one for Texas
athletic director-football coach Darrell Royal. He's been on the
winning side six times in nine games. During his 1946-49 playing
days at Oklahoma, the series was a 2-2 standoff. Since Royal
became Texas head coach the Longhorns have won four of
live. . .
FORMER SULPHUR SPRINGS FOOTBALLER Mike Broy-
les currently has the longest punt in the Southwest Conference
in 1962 action. Broyles, a Baylor sophomore, has a 65-yard boot
to his credit. . .
St. Louis football Cardinals coach Wally Lenun says vet-
eran quarterback Sam Etcheverry will be benched for Sunday’s
game against the first place Washington Redskins in St. Louis.
Lenun has named second year man Charlie Johnson as the start-
ing quarterback. The Cardinals have lost three straight games
and in Lemm’s words, " have to do something.”
And Los Angeles County supervisors have been told the
Whittier Narrows Country Club golf course has a hazard that
could Ire fatal: it’s the Alhambra police pistol range. A 49-year-
old golfer, Ken Woldt, was shot in the shoulder this week, ap-
parently by a stray bullet from the range.
The high school Blue Raiders
dropped their fourth game of
the season, against one victory,
in losing a 32-14 decision to
the Greenville B team in a
night game.
Greenville went ahead 7-0
early and drove deep into Sul-
phur Springs territory in the
second period before the move
bogged down. Tackle Ted Clif-
ton blocked a Sulphur Springs
punt and tackle Gerald Rags-
dale fell on the ball in the end
zone for a touchdown.
Another Greenville tackle,
Gary Boldt, scored later with
an intercepted screen pass.
Sulphur Springs scored late
in the second quarter and
again in the fourth period.
Jesse Sparger scored one Sul-
phur Springs touchdown and
Jerry Cook got the other.
Mike Passons passed to Sam
Attlesey for one conversion.
The Blue Raiders will be at
home next Saturday night for
a 7 p. m. game against the
Mineola B team.
By Associated Press
Somewhere along the line
at the Oklahoma - Texas game
in the Cotton Bowl this Satur-
day the band will play the Ok-
lahoma alma mater song and
the Texas coach, Darrell Royal,
just may hum it under his
breath.
Then, he’ll summon his boys
and say . . . “Now go out there
and flatten those guys.”
Rated number two in the
Associated Press poll this
week, Texas has a chance to
challenge for the top spot . . .
if anything should happen to
the number one dub, Alabama.
The Sooners took the day
off last Saturday just to get
ready for this one. They had a
few bruises from their first
two games, the winning one
with Syracuse and the loser
against Ncfti'e Dame. Texas,
however, has been breezing
right along with a devastating
running game.
Oklahoma is certain to put
up a fight, the Sooners always
do. But Texas can put on too
much pressure and should win.

State has won three in a row,
is rated tops in the East and
Third best in the country.
Army has shown a tough de-
fense but the Cadets seem to
lack something on defense . . .
the ability to score touch-
downs.
Army will put pressure on
the Penn State running game
but the Cadet weakness on of-
fense will hurt and — so —
Penn State is the pick over the
Cadets.
Navy will entertain Cornell

should win to brighten a disap-
pointing season. Dartmouth is
the pick over Brown. Columbia

Yale. Holy Cross is the choice
ever Harvard. Princeton should

Pittsburgh plays in a tough-
er league than West Virginia1

thick of championship fight.
Seventy - four teams of the
classes that play to state titles
are unbeaten and untied while
19 are undefeated but have
ties on their records. Sixty-ont
of the formei and 15 of the
latter have games.
The feature comes at Dallas
tonight when Samuel clashes

Spring Branch will be at
Victoria and San Antonio Hi.r-

Georgia Tech should rebound

South Carolina is taken to beat

Midwest
In the Midwest, a seething
Ohio State team will move
against Illinois. The Illini are
having a bad season and the
guess is they will be even sad-
der when they finish 60 min-
utes of football with the Buck-
eyes Saturday.
Michigan and Michigan State
will collide in their annual lit-
tle helmet splitter. The game
this year is at East Lansing,
home of Michigan State. Both
clubs lost their opening games
but got back on the winning
path last week.
This one always is a battle
hut Michigan State seems to
have more versatility on the of-
fense and should win a close
one.
Northwestern, with its incred-
ible sophomore passe r, Don
Myers, will move against a
sluggish but powerful Minne-
sota team. This youngster,
Myers, seems capable of break-
ing every passing record on the
books, judging by the way he
has started. The Minnesota line,
of course, will put the rush act
on and we’ll see how he reacts
to that. If Northwestern can
give him protection when he
throws, however, it should do
the trick. In a close one, North-
western over Minnesota.
Iowa is the pick over In-
diana. Kansas should overcome
Iowa State in what could easily
be a free-scoring game.
Missouri has too much punch
for Kansas State. Nebraska is
Auburn should down Chatta-ltoo strong for North Carolina
State. Oklahoma State may sur-
prise a sub-par Colorado team.
Purdue is bigger and better
than Miami of Ohio. North
Texas State should take Tulsa.
And in a real tough one take
Wisconsin over Notre Dame.
That one could easily go the
other way. _ ,
Southwest
In the Southwest a confer-
ence game will send the alert
Aranksas team against Baylor.
Arkansas is a team that never -
beats itself, you have to do
that for the Razorbacks and it’s
not easy. Therefore, one vote
for Arkansas.
The swift-running Oregon
team will move against Rice in
its s e c o n d invasion of the
Southwest this year. Earlier
in the season Oregon tried Tex-
as for size and found it much
too large.
Rice is still trying to recover
from the injury which sidelined
its first string quarterback.
Bill Cox, before the opening
game. The Owls are due, how-

The Air Force should whip
Arizona. Texas Christian gets
the nod over Texas Tech and
Wyoming is picked to down
Texas Western.
West
In the Far West one of the
best games of the day will send -
the Huskies of Washington
against Oregon State.
Washington undoubtedly has
an edge in team strength over-
Oregon State but States has a
tremendous quarterback with a
winning habit in Terry Baker.
The Huskies will gear their
defense to stop him and if their
line can put enough pressure
on they probably will. It could
be a squeaker but the vote goes
to Washington.
Stanford had a big letdown
last week against Oregon State
after its superb showing against
Michigan State the week be- .
fore. The Indians will play
Washington State.
