for seven years has swirled under all
Hardin-Stmmons attempts to escape
from the lower football world hns at
last yielded a crossing-
Coach Frank Kimbrough's Cowboys
beat through to the victory shore last
Saturday in Brownwood and swnmp-
cd tho Yellow Jackets in their own
element by the most convincing mar-
gin in nearly 20 years of traditional
rivalry. It was a 14 to 0 rout for the
Ranchers the totggst edge by which
they have ever drubbed their ancient
rivals and tho second shutout in his-
tory over 'Howard Payne.
Every one of tho 282 yards that
the Cowboys gained from scrimmage
was on running plays as not one of
the six passes tried by the invaders
clicked. More salt to the Jackets'
defeat wounds is found in the fact
that all the breaks went in thu direc-
tion of tho Brownwood club.
Playing without the services of Ed
Cherry crippled halfback who Was
in the fray for a few minutes in the
first quarter the Ranchers brought
forth two sophomore backs that turn-
ed in a manly account of themselves.
Bedford Russel and Burns McKinney
aided by Tyler and Mahuron ably
proved themselves bnll-carricrs of tho
first water as they charged that
"good old Jacket lino" for repeated
gains. Getting his first real chance
this year Russell constituted the
spearhead of the Cowboys for tho
better part of three quarters. When
he had worn down tho opposition con-
'siderably McKinney camo stepping in
to knife through the tackles and dis-
playing his baffling technique in the
way of hip slinging velocity and
change of tempo climaxed tho after-
noon with tho first touchdown.
Odis Crowell rugged heavyweight
tackle along with Murphy wero the
major factors in a resistance that
held Howard Payne from seriously
threatening the locals' goal even
once. Crowell charged through in tho
last mlnuto of the game turned nn
intended Howard Payne pass inton
fumble and covered it behind tho
goal line for the final tally.
Jam-up ball played by the forward
Cowhand section reduced tho Jacket
offense to little mora than futile
striving. Howard Payne made but
67 yards through the line all after-
noon and lost back 24 of that. Al-
though somewhat overwhelmed How-
ard Payno presented two powerful de-
fensive stars Harlow a big tackle
who was all over the gridiron and
Fullback Rogers who usually got his
man alone or with aid on nearly every
ploy.
Although the Jackets' offense was
quelled most qf the time they made
two strong threats and wero in tho
ball game right down to tho wire.
Their first menace camo in the last
part of the first period. Starting on
their own 40 Rogers did some effi-
cient blocking to send Huston Wede-
man on a 10-yard sweep off end. The
Cowhands held them to six yards in
three plays and tho ball would have
gone over on an incomplete pass but
Cherry was charged with interfering
with a pass receiver. The penalty
gave the Jackets first down on tho
Hardin-Slmmons 18-yard line. They
moved up five more as Wedeman
fumbled and Harlow recovered for a
five-yard gain. After the Cowboys
stopped tho next two rushes White-
head was rushed In to try a field goal
from the 21 yard-line but his boot
went to the right of the goal posts.
Howard Payno did not get back
to tho danger zone until tho fourth
round when tho overhead shots of
Marshall began to find their mark.
From the Jacket 40 stripe ho
chunked to Rogers for 13 yards. An-
other to Sundermon on the next play
was flood for 17 yards. Marshall
. started to pass again but saw a clear

Fish Wallop Texas
Tech Slimes 13 to 7
Staging a typical Notre Dame
fourth quarter come-back Coach
Theo Rigsby's Fish blasted Texas
Tech's Picadors all over Parramore
field to ring up a convincing 13 to 7
victory yesterday afternoon.
After the touted undefeated power-
house from Lubbock had led 7 to 0
until tho fourth quarter tho H-SU
Slimes opened up with their "big-
little" field gun in tho form of Herb
Reed signal-barker from San Angelo
and passed the invaders into oblivion.
The Picadors scored first in the
second quarter on a short stab that
began when Simms fumbled attempt-
ing to receive a Tech punt. Cheaney
recovered on tho H-S 23 and Tarbox
drove for a first down on the 10-yard
line. On tho second attempt McAr-
thur went over for a touchdown.
Cheaney kicked goal to complete his
team's scoring for the day.
Denying tho II-S Fish a touchdown
after Wells had caught a pass over
tho Tech goal-line was probably a
factor in steaming up tho locals for
tho unstoppable fourth quarter bar-
rage. Referee Jim McKenzto said
Wells' foot had touched the end
zone line. When Tech got tho ball
and punted on first down tho Cow-
hands camo charging back so furi-
ously that Hext star of the Picador
backficld lost his chile and was toted
from tho game.
Less than a minute later Reid re-
ceived a Tech punt and ran back 45
yards for a touchdown cutting to
the left sideline before going over
after his teammates had paved the
way with some "sweet" wedge block
ing. Try for extra point was no good.
Soon afterward Reed cutlooso again
with his good right arm and finding
able receivers in Joo Pee and Flet-
cher passed and ran G5 yards in
seven plays for tho winning touch-
down. Headstrcam kicked extra
point.
First downs wero 0 to 8 favoring
the Cowboys who made all but one
of them in tho last half. McCaleb
and Headstrcam starred for tho lo-
cals In n defensivo way whilo Reid
Pee Pletcher and Ralley stood-out on
tho offense.

Just before leaving for El Paso
yesterday morning Head Coach
Frank Kimbrough made the fol-
lowing statement:'
"I want to express my apprecia-
tion for the support given the
Cowboys this season by the stu-
dent body and faculty. What de-
gree of success we have had has
been due to the encouragement and
enthusiasm shown by these two
groups.
"I can assure each of you that
the boys also appreciate the spirit
that has been shown. It has gone
a long way in determining whe-
ther we won or lost."

Detton Defeats
Big Joe Kopecky
Dory Detton tho people's man
disposed of another public enemy last
night when he defeated rugged Joe
Kopecky two falls out of three jn the
main event at tho West Texas Ath-
letic association arena.
It was Kopccky's first appearance
hero in several moons and his re-
turn was greeted by old acquaint-
ances with n salvo of booes. Ho got
off to u lead when his flying too hold
forced tho Ute to concede tho first
fall in 22 minutes.
Detton who would have played by
the rules had to get tough in self
defense as tho battlo woro on. Ho
tied the score with a volley of flying
tackles in nine moro minutes. The
last fall went 4 minutes beforo Ko-
pecky was battered into submission
for n top body pin.
Tex Watkins sustained his repu-
tation for a meanio in his local debut.
Poor old Eddio O'Shca was just a
brcczo for the sailor man who packed
a wallop like Popeyo himself. Wat-
kins grabbed tho first fall in three
and nhalf minutes with a barrage of
uppercuts and a body slam and du-
plicated the feat in five moro min-
utes. Pat Dowdy furnished something of
an upset when ho took Al Szaz in
11 minutes of tho scheduled quarter-
hour curtain raiser.
Life is but a thought. Coleridge.
On Last Go-Round !!!
Coach Frank Kimbrough and his
Cowhands hang up their suits lato
this afternoon for another year (with
as usual the most versatile season of
all looming ahead for next season).
The Ranchers can be relied upon to
take the Mines finales by some sort
of a convincing or unconvincing mar
gin which really doesn't matter.
'Proper and fitting it Is indeed
that if any roses or geraniums are to
be plucked in these quarters the
pluckings should go in major part to
Coach Kimbrough. Tho good people
of these precincts are roundly satis-
fied if not extremely gratified by
tho current handiwork and improve-
ments of the new mentor. For the
benefits of thoso who are forgetful
perchance it would be in order to
recount some of his doings which
have put H.-S. U. on the up-and-up:
Hardin-Simmons has "retaken" Us
place in the sun as the "biggest little
team in Texas" and some of the
Southwest conference "boogers"
will live to regret the day he pitched
his lot in the Cowboy camp before
many more buckets of water flow
under the bridge. Not since the days
when prosperity was here and not
around the corner have the populace
flocked out as they did to the curtain-raiser
against Tech Sept. 20. The
excellence of the show satisfied the
fans and it is certain that the merry
music of clicking turnstiles will be
repeated when the Ranchers hit their
stride next year. Russell spelt the
difference between probably a score-
less tie and a 14 to 0 victory for
the Baylor Bears. Nobody had any-
thing but praise for the locals 'after
holding S. M. U. to a closer score than
any team (at this writing) except
Rice and Arkansas. Five wins and
three losses is not a bad improvement
for n team that had been losing 9 out
of 10 starts to mediocre opposition in
previous ors.

(Continued on Pago Four)
For Captain Henry Milby halfback
and Elton Murphy burly tackle tho
senson finnlc with Texas Mines in
El Paso will be their last start for
Hardin-Simmons.
Leaving behind only one regular
Clary who received a wrenched knee
against Texas A. & I. two weeks ago
the Ranchers were otherwise in full
strength when they left for tho bor-
der city early yesterday morning. Tho
squad was expected to arrive in El
Paso early last night before taking
on the Muckers at 2:30 this after-
noon. The Ranchers are given a strong
chance to come out on the big end
of the score but the Minc3 boast a
strong team and an enviable record
against Hardin-Simmons teams in the
past.
Tho squad making the trip is com-
posed of the following players:
Centers Clark Jarnigan Clcddie
Hall.
Guards Blackie Calloway Vestal
Newberry Frank Selfridgc Johnny
McAdon.
Tackles Elton Murphy Odis Crow-
ell John Green Mack Alexander.
Ends Firman Scroggins Bill Har-

huron Si Addington Paul White and

In spite of high scores against
Morningside and Texas A. & I. Kim
brough says that tho Cowboy offense
hnsn't clicked as it should a time
this season but ho hopes that it will
for tho windup game. Ho'll probably
rely on Bedford Russell Pete Tyler
Eldon Mahuron and Burns McKinney
or Captain Henry Milby in the back
ficld to get the drive started against
tho Muckers.
Not since tho sensational Cowboy
eleven of 1931 rolled up a 45-0 scoro
