Cowhands Miners Meet In Top BC Game Today
1st Place
at Stake
RIDIN' HERD

Football fans will get n glimpse
of two of the best teams in the
whole Border Conference this
week when the Cowboys and
Miners exchange forces and try
to break the tie they both own
In the league. Both teams did not
fare so well as was expected but
each team was playing up to
their knees in mud and water.
The Cowboys had a tough time
in breaking even with the Cou-
gars and the Ore Diggers luckily
blocked a New Mexico punt on
the Lobos 10 yard marker to set
up their only TD of the game.
The two teams were fairly even
until the break came for the TWC
team.
Well enough for the fanfare and
on to a couple of players who
helped give the Pokes their tying
touchdowns last week (if you
haven't already guessed the pair
ore Dunnic Goode and John
Ford). Johnny flipped 36 passes in
the Houston game with most of
the 20 completions being to Goode
who made three touchdowns and
set up another. If not for the 281
yards made passing the 53 rushing
yards would not have been a great
help compared to the 284 racked
up by the Cougar bunch. Harold
Taylor who took the place of
Hook Davis as left half carried
the fourth counter over and of
course big Cliff Swain did his
share of converting assisted by
Kenneth Watson who booted one
perfect placement.
Since this is the Ranchers' final
home game for the season it seems
fitting that 10 of the Cowboy
roster be honored as they will
probably be playing their last
home game before the hearty
H-SU fans. Most of these boys

Freshmen Engage
Cisco JC Eleven
The Hardin-Simmons freshman
football squad riding along with
one win and one defeat for the
season were to have played the
Cisco Junior College team yes-
terday afternoon at 3:00. Coach
Al Milch had been working his
plcbes overtime since their defeat
at the hands of the San Angelo
Junior College eleven. The squad
was in tip-top shape.
The Buttons opened the '49 sea-
son by riding over the Ranger
Junior College Rangers by the
score of 13-7. Then in their sec-
ond encounter the San Angelo
J. C. Rams dropped the Buttons
to the tune of 19-14. It marked
the first defeat suffered by a
freshman team since freshman
football was resumed at H-SU in
1948.
Milch was expected to call upon
Keith Munnerlyn and Sherry Nail
to hold down left end Don
Mounger Richard Stanfield for
right end; tackle slots by Captain
Weldon Boggus Malcolm Rob-
bins; guards by Dennis Phelps

Biddy Paul Frost Strawberry
Kowan uaymond Troutman Ed
and Paul Petty and Bob and
Howard McChesney have been
adding that much needed power
to the Cowboy lineup for the last
three or four seasons while help-
ing H-SU to be well represented
on the coveted All-Border Con-
ference teams.
For the last three or four years
competition in the Cactus League
has been increasing greatly which
is the principal reason the Cow-
boys have not won the BC pen-
nant since 1940. Due to the in-
crease of ex-Gi's in the team ros-
ters the other major Border Con-
ference members have offered
much better teams which gave
them that added strength to even-
ly compete with Hardin-Simmons.
Tech about the only obstacle
which has marred the Ranchers
from winning the '47 and '48
pennants have been trying to
Drove but with no avail to the
Southwest Conference officials
that they are worthy of entering
that conlorence ana arc putting
forth extra effort to win.
Basketball is now coming into
the limelight as Coach Jack Mar-
tin and his varsity cagers along
with Glon Burroughs' freshman
are working out awaiting that
starting whistle which should
blow around Dec. 1. On the menu
for that day will be a strong
Cowboy five against the Univer-
sity of Houston Cougars. The
Cowboy cagers will open confer-
ence play Jan. 4 against Texas
Western.
I'm sure most of you grid fans
who have attended the homo
games and the Odessa affair have
noticed how much the Rangers
have helped the school spirit on
the campus. The blending of
around 05 male voices who know
of no other thing to do but yell
when they attend tne games
along with the others rooting for
the Cowboys have helped give the
Cowboys that extra bit of get-up-and-go
which they are capable
of doing. So remember Cowboy
fans BACK THE COWBOYS.
See you at the game.
H-SU TWC Clash Due
To Change BC Lead
There's a very important foot-
ball frolic slated on the campus
tonight one that might well be
tagged the "anti-climatical" scene
for. the Border Conference show-
down. H-SU's highly tuned scoring
machine tangles head-on with a
rock-ribbed crew from Texas
Western College.
From the present outlook the
matter is this simple: Both clubs
are unconquered in loop play and
the one emerging victorious will
meet defending titlist Texas Tech
next month for the crown. Tech
is the only other circuit member
undefeated.
Not only do the hard-digging
Miners boast a clean Conference
slate; since their opening grid
date this fall they have rampaged
through six contests undefeated
and untied. In three games the
Ore Diggers' defense has allowed
only one touchdown.

s for the Cowboys.
By BILL SPENCER
It took a muddy field a Homo-
coming crowd of 12000 fans and
a determined University of Hous-
ton to hold the Cowboys to a 27-
27 deadlock Saturday in the pub-
lic school stadium in Houston.
It was apparent from the be-
ginning that the Cougars were out
to lasso the Cowboys for the 33-7
drubbing handed them year be-
fore last. But John Ford's passes
kept the Cougars from follow-
ing through with their intentions.
Playing on a soggy slippery
fields the Ranchers' ground game
was held to a standstill. The yard-
age gained rushing which usu-
ally turns out to be very effective
was held to 53 yards. But the mud
and mist could not stop John
(Spiral) Ford from flinging passes
through the air. Ford completed
20 of 36 attempted for 281 yards.
All four of the Ranchers touch-
downs were on passes.
Three of the touchdown flips
went to Dunny Goode and the
other to Harold Taylor .
The Cowbovs missed the serv
ices of Wilton (Hook) Davis who
was still out with a knee injury.
The first time the Cowboys got
their hands on the ball they head-
ed for paydirt. With four plays
in the air and six on the ground
the Ranchers struck navdirt. Ford
flipped 16 yards to Goode for the
first tally of the game. Big Cliff
Swain booted the conversion to
put the Cowboys'.Qut in the (lead
7-0. StVT!l L(2 - ..
With r'muddy " field usually
their stomping grounds the Cou-
gars got busy and before they
could be stopped ran up two
touchdowns as the first period
ended.
The second quarter saw the
Ranchers looking good. Convinc-
ing the Cats their end of the
field was the best: the Ranchers
racked up two touchdowns. Ford

hit Goode with a long pass that
carried to the Cougar line. The
Cowboys were then penalized 15
yards for holding but Ford again
proved ho could do it and hit
Taylor in the end zone for the
second H-SU tally.
Late in the second stanza Bob
McChesney caught a partially
blocked punt and returned it 17
yards to the Houston 43.
Ford pitched twenty-nine yards
to Goode his favorite target of
the day and racked up the third
TD to put the Cowboys in the

The thi
the still determined to win Cou
gar eleven. Starting on their 40
the Cats carried six times to put
them on the Rancher four. James
Clark burst over for the tally and
quarterback Allen Nevuex' kick
was good to tie the game at 20-20.
The Cougars hit again in the
third as Carl Mittag a scatty de-
fensive halfback intercepted a
Ford pass and raced 72 yards for
a touchdown.
Then the Cowboys tarted click-
ing as Ford hit Goode to bring
the fourth tally. End Ken Watson
kicked the conversion to tie the
game 2727.
The Houstonians drove from
their twelve to the Cowboys 41
to be stopped by Brooks Allen as
he intercepted a pass and brought
it back to the 23. A long Ford pass
was intercepted by Purdum to
quell any hopes of a last second
touchdown.
This was the first tie of the sea-
son for both clubs. The Cowboys
have won four of five and the
Cougars three of four.

Hardin-Simmons will hope to
prove that history doesn't repeat
itself when they entertain the
Miners of Texas Western College
in H-SU's own Parramore Sta-
dium tonight at 8:00.
The Cowboy-Miner game last
year turned out to be about the
most unorthodox game ever play-
ed in the Border Conference. The
score 27 to 27 would ordinarily
tell the story of two ball teams
battling to just a tie in a tradi-
tional contest. But there were
some crazy aspects to the game
such as:
Hardin-Simmons did not punt
during the game.
Only nine times in the contest
did a scries of downs eo to the
fourth down. Only nine times did
both teams fail to score while in
possession of the pigskin.
Only two penalties were called
in the game both going against
Hardin-Simmons for? a" total of7
30 yards. Ctf -' .
The offensive battle'whicn was "
supposed to be staged between
the Miners' Fred Wendt and Cow-
boys' Hook Davis both leading
ground gainers in the nation was
overshadowed by the perform-
ances of John Ford Cowboy pass-
er and Pug Gabriel Miner ball
center. Ford passed for 243 yards
while Gabriel rushed for 178.
The Miners went into the last
fourteen minutes of the final
period ahead 27 to 13. The Cow-
boys stormed back to make a
point a minute and tie the score.
This year the Pokes have hopes
of upsetting the Westerners in
order to set the pace in the Cac-
tus league. At the present the two
schools are battling it out for the
top honors each having three
loop victories while Tech leads a
close second holding two wins.
The Cowboys hold victories
over North Texas State Arizona
State Arizona University and
New Mexico losing only one to x
the University of Cincinnati 27

test withthe University of Hous-
