EARRING jolt
Hill Billy Game Brings
Out Fact That No
Position on Frog
Team Is Clinched

FORT WORTH, Oct. 3.-Confusion
was reigning supreme in the Texas
Christian University Horned Frog
camp the first part Of this week. Just
when Bell had about decided upon
his first team line up. the smoke and
fire Of the Daniel Baker game Of
last Saturday completely upset the
whole plan.
Matty started the fray with what
he believed to be the best material
in his camp. But the starters played
such poor football that the Purple
was in danger Of going under in the
first quarter; in fact. the Hill Billies
missed q field goal by inches in the
first few minutes Of play.
Then Matty began to shoot in sub
stitutes and in the second period.
with most Of his so-called second
team on the field the Frogs seemed
to come to life. Flashing a driving
and passing attack, this team pushed
over the first Frog marker that
started the hard fighting Billies on
the road to their go defeat.
Then in the third quarter, when
the Purple came back on the field in
the form of their third team,
things really began to happen. and
from this time on the Christians
steadily outplayed their foes.
But the victory hardly pleased
Coaches Bell and kubale for now they
have no knowledge Of what their
first" team is. So many of the re-
serves flashed heads-up, smart foot
ball that the Purple mentors are in
a dilemma as who should get first
call.
In the first place. the work OF How
ard Grubbs. who substituted at qua
ter in the third period, wa one Of the
outstanding features of the after
noon. Grubbs field-generaled. pass
cd, plunged tackle and whipped
around ends for the Frogs second
marker. But there was Ed Sain, who
took over the team in the second Pc
riod and carried il TO the first touch
down. and who tossed some Of the
prettiest passes of the game.
And there was Merlin ToIer who
started at quarter but was shifted
70 half, and whose heads-up game
gave the Frogs their last two oppor-
tunIties. On two occasions Merlin
snagged passes that had been patted
down by Billy secondary, before they
were grounded. One was for a
touchdown and the other placed the
ball in striking distance.
Then there was Cy Leland, Harry
Akers, Virgil Roberts, Red Eddie
man and Buzz Morgan in the back
field who gave good account Of
themselves. Noble Atkins. Red
Moore, Lester Brumbelow. Fain Rey-
nolds and Howard Baxter showed
plenty OF stuff in the line.
So when the Frogs take the field
next Saturday ut Breckenridge
against Frank Bridges Simmons
Cowboys. the Purple may appear to
be a hybrid Of stars, veterans and
noviccs. "For there is one thing GER
TAIN says Matty, you've gotta be in
there fightin' or somebody's gonna
be in your place"

NEW YORK, Oct. 3.1PD-A squad
Of badly crippled New York Yankees

stock dropped TO a new low. The
odds most frequently today favored
the Cardinals ut 5 20 8. There was
little betting.
To some observers it appeared that
the Yankees, in reality, are occupying
a rather enviable position and that
Bill Mckechnie and his healthy
Cardinals should be doing all the
worrying. In case of defeat, the
Yankee alibi is prepared in advance,
however u%nintential upon the part
of the reigning worlds champions.
On the other hand, the Cardinals, at
full strength, must win and even then
may not get the credit due them.
Apparently the Cardinals realize it.
In their practice sessions at the
Yankee stadium where the series
opens at 1880 Eastern Stand time
tomorrow. they have had no time for
jokes. They go about their business
in grim earnest.
The Yanks on the other hand, act
as though they have not a care in

are out, and Lazzeri, Koenig and
Ruth crippled, the American league
