FORT WORTH, Sept. 2l.-It Is
no uncommon occurrence for for
mer high school team mates to
oppose each other on college grid
irons, but for a coach TO meet two
schools. where he has formerly
been head professor OF football. in
the same year, is a rare occasion.
This unique situation is facing
Coach Francis Schmidt of Texas
Christian University this year. The
Horned Frog mentor has formerly
been head football coach at both
Tulsa University. which the Frogs
meet Oct. 3, and the University Of
Arkansas, which will furnish the
opposition for the initiation Of the
conference schedule. Oct. 81.
While at Tulsa. the present
Horned Frog coach made an en-
viable record. 1t was there that
his famous 'point-a-minute" team
Of 1870 set a national scoring rec
ord with 622 points scored In a
single season. This record was
made chiefly through the medium
of an offensive weapon that is still
characteristic Of a Schmidt
coached team.
The second school, where
Schmidt was former football coach
that will meet his 1891 eleven, Is
the University OF Arkansas. While
at the Razorback institution,
Schmidt formed a habit OF win
ming basketball championships, and
was fearsd by every football coach
In the conference. Coach Schmidt
will not be faced with a single man
on the Razorback team this year
that he coached. The last of
these grad.a. | last June, and
freshman team of Schmidt's last
year at the Arkansas institution.
will be playing their last year Of
football this season.
In the first game against the
former pupils. Coach Schmidt sat
across the field and watched a
horde OF inspired purple and white
bruisers stampede the Razorback
herd and romped off with a 40-to-0
victory. From all indications,
neither the Tulsa nor L-rkansas
game of this year will be that
easy.
When the squad assembled for
the diStribut' IN of jerseys last
week, numbe-- 5 and As, formerly

OF us had let studies slide dur

to play New Years day. That
meant we worked out every day
and took all the time from our
books, In addition to being tired
most Of the tine, and had to give
up our Christmas vacations.
Some Of the boys had jobs lined
up for the two weeks over the

would get about $4,000 extra for
