BAKER ELEVEN
FORMIDABLE
D j TIT

BROWNwOOD, Oct. 22.-Daniel
Baker will invade the Alamo City
October 81 with 1925 model Hilly
Billie machine which, in all prob
ability, will give the st. Edwards
University Saints from Austin a bet
ter game than was played last year.
Coach Ransome, an all American man
in his day, is giving the Billies some
of the stuff that gained for him ma
tion-wide attention.
Evidence that Daniel Baker this
year has a stronger team than ever
before is shown by their strong show
ing against Texas Christian Univer-
sity at Fort Worth. The Billies were
successful in holding the Frogs to a
lone pair of touchdowns. This strength
is better shown by 7. c. us hold
ing the champion Baylor Bears to a
TT draw at the Dallas Fair.
Daniel Baker will bring one man
who is a threat on Mr.. Anybody's
field in little Jimmie Flack. Jimmie
is not as big as minute but when
he gets loose on the field he is hard
to stop. The youngster from Menar'd
knows what broken field running is
all about, can pivot, side step and
gain speed MS no other man on the
Billie squad is able to do. Little
Jimmie Flack is the "b:g" man in the
Daniel Baker offense. And. you can't
hurt Jimmie. He's as hard as
rock.
MWILLIAMS KICKS.
Daniel Baker will offer another
good man in McWilliams. freshman
here from Oklahoma. The big fellow
has n big toe which he uses to send
the ball down the field on punts, is
an accurate passer and is good line
plunger. When McWilliams is not in
the game there will be Villa to take
his place. This Villa is not USED
to missing field goals, after the Billies
make their touchdowns.
The Billies have another good line
plunger in billiard. II was he who
assisted in carrying the ball down the
field to score touchdown against
the Sui Ross Teachers from Alpine.
He skirted the ends, pushed himself
through the line, and gallopcd around
the visitors repeatedly.
As a general thing, the Billics have
much better offensive and defensive
team than is usually boosted at the
local Presbyterian institution. The
line of last year. through which only
one touchdown was made all Of last
season, is practically the same. The
backfield is a whole lot better. Re
endorsements have greatly assisted
Coaches Ransome and Blair in build
ing up the machine.
HELD TO TOUCHDOWN.
Last year the Billics held st. Eds
TO lone touchdown. They have bet
ter team this year.
More than likely "Slats" Patterson
will act as captain in the st. Edwards
game. unless Red" Smith gets into
condition. He has been out of the
game all year.
The Billics have n pair Of ends in
Trammcl and Montgomery who are
going to be down under punts and just
about in every play of the game. Tram
mel is often called TO the backfield.
and offers one Of the best brands OF
football to be seen on the Hill Billie
eleven.
Moody and McInnis make a dandy
pair OF tackles for the Billies. OF the
two. McInnis is the better man. He
received several mentions last year by
sport writer's on the mythical all-asso-
citation eleven, though be was not given
n place. He did not have the team
mates to help him get there last year,
but it looks different this season.
'Stringcr and Sullivan will serve
the Billies us guards. Stringer is Il
veteran, one Of the Hill Billie fight.
ers from the old guard, and is n hard
man to stop. He is defensive pow
or as well as offensive. Moore will
start at center.
PATTERSON AT FULL.
Acting Captain Patterson more
than likely will get the assignment
nt fullback TO start the game for the
Billies. Villa and Stalcup are reg
ular Daniel Baker balfbacks. Stal.
cup is veteran, but Villa is a new
man. 1t is be who does the making
of extra points after touchdowns.
Flack may start ut one Of the
halves.
Windy" Woods. Brownwood
High School product, is another vet
eran who will be in the lineup. He is
the Billie field general. and not bad
drop kicker. Hammond will be used
to assist Woods at this position in
case of substitution. billiard, one Of
the best ground. gamers on the squad.
is another signal caller. McWillinms
is making himself regular berth at
hnlfbnck, since his brilliant showing
in the games so far this year. lie
shares time with Staleup. However,
Stalcnn has been starting the games.
