The football fans chief diversion
over the weekend was second
guessing on Mona Rees, Tessas Uni
versity quarterback. Some 10000
grandstand field generals who saw
the Longhorns held to a ~Ecoreless
tie by Southern Methodist were
convinsed they could have improved
on Rees' tactics. Also, those of the
great radio audience were ready to
reveal exactly how the Grunge could
have scored at least three touch
downs, maybe five. Tie average
reaction to the contest seems to
have been: IF Rees had only"

off was a thing Of beauty. He Is

Coach Morley Jennings Of Baylor

cOpious notes In preparation for

The possibility was held out TO con-
