FROGS DRAW
TOUGH GAME
Other Southwest Elevens
Have Easy Contests
For Saturday

DALLAS, Sept. 24-P)-Support-
ers OF Southwest Conference foot
ball will get "a line on their fav-
orite team Saturday providing that
team doesn't happen to be the Bay
Tor University Bears who remain
idle for another week. With six OF
the seven conference teams play
ing, the season proper starts Sat-
urday. although all but one is re-
garded as preliminary combats.
Coach Francis Schmidt's Texas
Christian Frogs are going on the
field with a real job before them.
They battle the big Louisiana state
university team-a club with twen-
ty-one veterans. three linemen who
will bid for all-Southern recogni-
ton this year plus two t~en-second
backfield threats. One member Of
Louisiana's front wall, Terrence,
weighs 266 pounds. TorrerS plays
a tackle position. and along with
him will be Roy Wilson. 1876 pound
guard: joys McLain. 90 pound
center, and Ed Khoury, 21S pound
tackle.
Veteran Backs
Coach Cohen will invade the It..
c. U. stadium with Tom Smith,
Dobie Holden and Cherry Rem
froe, three veteran quarterbacks. In
Bowman. former Olympic athlete,
and Butler, Cohen will show two
ten-second backs. The Tigers, with
their twenty-one veterans, a line
that averages 200 pounds and a
backfield with speed and power, are
due to give the Texas Christian
Frogs a evere test OF football.
In preparation for this difficult
early season test, Coach Schmidt
is drilling his Frogs to meet Louis
iana's tricky offense with agrees
siveness, extensively and defensive
ly.
Defeated in all five Southwest
conference games last season, Coach
Matty Bells Texas A. and M. Aggies
will draw no little attention against
Southwestern. The Aggies won this
game last year. 43 to Q, but South
western is back with a stronger
team-one capable of giving the
Bellmen a hard fight. The Aggies
are getting little attention this
year as a serious threat for the
conference title. but II they sweep
aside the Southwestern Pirates by
an overwhelming score. their
championship stock will take a
sudden rise. Coach Bell will send
his first stringers against South
western. After this game. ne viii
send in reserves to play John
Tarleton the final Of a double
header program.

tin. Unless forced to open up in
order 70 triumph, Littlefield will
probably keep his best scoring
plays under cover. and is not ex-
pected TO allow the above regular
backfield men TO play over a quar-
ter or two. The champions are well
set for their effort TO subdue the
Texas conference eleven.
With Cowboy" Kyle on the
bench for failure 70 round into

University OF Arkansas Razorbacks

Ozark. and may see some action.
Arkansas won this game last sea-
son. 81 TO 0, but lack OF reserves
this year may seriously handicap

the Ozark team.
