HOUSTON. Dec. with the big
game"-so far as Brownsville and
Port Arthur are concerned-only a
few hours off. Houston is swamped
with fans afflicted with that pho
hia known as football frenzy" Two
contingents flooded the city early
the Valley and the other from the
AS might be easily expected. the
two crowds we're rankly partisan.
They didn't particularly care about
seeing a good football game-they
wanted to see OUR BOYS" win the
championship Of the entire realm
Of South Texas.
The frenzy proved highly conta-
gious and Ii was spreading rapidly to
the stolid citizenry or Jesse III. Jones
city as game time neared. Noticing
the unusual hustle and hustle. one
innocent native ventured the cues-
ton: Who's playing, anyway"
Fifteen minutes later he had al
ready laid a bet on Brownsville and
was busy explaining Just how the
Eagles were going TO beat the Jack
cts 'at least 10 to g." With no
counter attractions on hand, the en-
tire attention OF Houston and sur
rounding territory was concentrated
upon Rice Field. 1t was estimated
that 10000 fans would bottle neck
their way into the entrance before
the whistle sounded for the kick
off.
All over town, particularly in the
hotel Hobbies, they gathered in
tent on the serious business Of be-
ing a fan. They geSticulated. They
argued. They bolstered faltering
courage with brash boasts. Some
resorted TO a shot of hooch to quiet
their frothing nerves while others
jingled the bones In an abstract
manner. not watching their change.
Countless long black stogies were
tossed into the cutters after being
half smoked. "a most fearful waste
as Supt. q. w. Gotke and Doug
Fessenden will tell you.) All OF this
was TO no avail. The game is gonna
be what it's gonna be, regardless.
-
rs Sa-mo-na going to play to-
day?' That was the query on the
lips Of Port Arthur fans. Evidently
they have been hearing things about
the blUnd-haired passing phenom.
Red" hasn't spared the balloon soup
In loading up the Houston scribes
with Samano's ability on the grid.
Why he passes 30 yards in prac-
tice without exerting himself" Red
told the scribbers. Even at that, he
didn't stretch things much. Samano
told us he passed some 70 yards
against Mercedes three years ago.
Goat" Longoria shared this heave.

With NAMED
Schocnover Is Outstanding
Wingman OF 1929
Grid Season
BY GAYLE TALBOT, Jr.

DALLAS, Dec. 7@PHA big. ag-
gressive line and a speedy. shifty
backfield make up the all-South-
west conference honorary eleven
compiled by the Associated Press
from a consensus of the sections
leading Coaches, officials and sports
writer's. Seldom has the conference
provided a more imposing list OF
stars from which TO choose the my
thical outfit.
Every member OF the line was an
outstanding man throughout the
season. a thorn In the side OF all
opposition both on offense and
defense. The backfieId, composed of
Grubbs, Leland, Wilson and Shell
ley. has everything a great football
team could need in the way Of Of
fensive weapons and Is a capable
defensive combination.
Picking Hard
There were many stellar players
whom IL was necessary to leave of.
There were not enough positions to
90 around. Particularly would It
have been pleasant had there been
a couple more backfield berths III
which TO place the brilliant Weldon
Mason OF Southern Methodist and
Tommy Mills OF the Aggies. The
pair received many votes and were
given careful consideration.
The season was notable for the
great number Of sophomore and
junior stars. Only five Of those
chosen on the "All" team are sem
iors. They are Sanders, Brumbelow,
GrubbS, Rose and Schoonover. The
other six are juniors and will be
back.
Frogs Place Four
The undefeated Texas Christian
Horned Frogs placed four Of their
stars. Southern Methodist, the run
ner-up, placed two, as did also Tex
as and Baylor. The Aggies' strong
est bid was its captain, Tommy
Mills, and he was so unfortunate
as 10 have played with q losing
team. The Rice Owls had two can
didates, captain Bush Jones.

Howard Grubbs, Horned Frog
quarterback. was chosen 70 captain

choice az his position. For the team.
as conceived. he would do the pas-
sing. Jake Kilson. Bayror's dimin-
utiye star. would be entrusted with
the punting, at which he had no
peer in the section. Shelley also IS
a capable punter and passer. Lei
and would be asked TO do nothing
except carry the mail. which would
be sufficient. The backfield would
be hard to improve upon.
SchoOnover Outstanding
Koch and Sanders, guards. won
their places for the second straight
ear. They are regarded BY manv
as two Of the finest linemen In con-
ference history.
Nike Brumbelow. T. G. us can

guard position to tackle. where he
played on defense. He was the back
bone Of the powerful Frog forward

Schoonover and Rose won the
end positions over a strong lot ar
rivals. including Long OF s. N. u.

By WALTER T. BROWN GA. P. Feature Editor

CHICAGO, Aug. 12.-Two cru saders, Ruth Hanna Mccormick member of Congress, and Charles S. Deneen, senior Senator, are set ting the Illinois political stage for a bitter battle over the 1930 Re- publican Senatorial nomination. Mrs. Mccormick would be the first woman to run for the Senate.
 Behind the asbestos curtain, props are being set for duel that sure- ly will develop pyrotechnics and strange alliances.
 Mrs Mccormick crusaded last summer on the contention that women were entitled to authority in legislation. Her sex flocked to her and she won notable victories in the primary and general elec- ton.
 Dcneen came from retirement five years ago to defeat Mrs. McCor- mick's husband, the then Senator Medill Mccormick, for the nomina- tion. Deneen had been crusad- ing states attorney, in Cook coun- ty, and governor before retiring to practice law.
 Two years ago, Deneen challeng- ed the faction of Mayor William Hale Thompson's state and county finba+c The cenioi.

FIREW ORKS PREDICTED AS RESULT
 OF MRS. MCORNICK'S NEW GOAL

Of Mark Hanna, the outspoken dic- tator of Republicanism of the Me- Kinley Roosevelt era.
 Lightning flashes warned of the impending storm as early as the national convention in Kansas City last summer. Deneen sought to name both the States members of the national committee. Mrs. Mc- Cormick and others objected and Deneen's woman candidate, Mrs. Lottie Holman O'Neill, state legis- lator, was sacrificed, Mrs. Bertha Baur obtaining the place. She had been identified with the Thompson faction and was supported by Mrs. Mccormick.
 A split in the women's Republi- can ranks developed when Mrs. O'Neill accused Mrs. Mccormick of playing politics" with the women, claiming that Mrs. Mccormick had baked" her (Mrs. O'NeilD at every turn.
 In Cook county the Republican factions are headed by Deneen, Thompson, Avery, Brundage and remnant of the Len Small ma chine. Downstate there are groups largely controlled by Governor Elm merson, Otis F. Glenn, the junior Senator, Oscar E. Carlstrom, the Attorney General. and sm a1ler cliques controlled by minor state officials and members of Congress.
 Mrs. Mccormick probably would draw the Thompson, Brundage and Len Small support in Cook county, and obtain the alliance of Glenn and Emerson down-state,
