The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-09-27

letter man from a squad that really was better than the scoreboard indicated.
 New enthusiasm has been en- genered by the presence Of Matty Bell. former Texas Aggie mentor, as line coach.
 Our team will be built around Robert Wilson, one of finest backs in the southwest, and Harry Shu- ford, junior quarterback.
 Many sports writer have select ed the Mustangs to win the crown despite a schedule that includes Louisiana State, Oklahoma A. & M., and Fordham in addition to six Conference games and the usual pair of preConference skirmishes. I believe it is q little too early for that, but I'm certain that our boys will try mighty hard not to let their newspaper friends down.
 Four New Mentors.
 Interest is keen in the South- west Conference, where football followers don't know just what to make of chase that opens with new head coaches at fohr of the seven member schools.
 Only Fred Thomsen, at Arkan- sas; Morley Jennings, at Baylor; and myself survived shakeups.
 Jack Cheviguy, former lieuten- hnt of the late Knute Rockne at the University of Notre Dame, is at Texas.
 Hold Elm Homer Norton, of Eenary College fame, has assumed charge at Texas A. & M. Dutch Meyer has been elevated from the freshmen to the varsity throne, succeeding Francis A. Schmidt, at Eaxas CTexas Christian. Jimmie Kitts, the Rice basketball mentor. has added the football burden to his duties at the Owl institution.
 Especially are the eyes of Texas Npon the youth Chevigny. who is Introducing the Rockne style in a eormer Warner stronghold.
 The Longhorns will try their Dne-two- -three-four shift for the flrst time against the rugged Texas Tech Matadors at Lubbock on Sept 22. It will be a stern test Tech squads are always rought and ready and powerful.
 Norton is drawing his share of attention at Texas A. & M. He was rightfully known as producer of wonder teams at Centenary. Many Aggfe followers are willing to wager that he will come up with another in his first year on the cadet campus.
 He is blessed with material of much the same type he had at Centenary, including fast, darting backs that slip through quick opening holes and forget to stop until they have crossed the goal line. Norton's first farmer team is likely to be dangerous one.> It's initial opponent, the Sam Houston State Teachers, invade the Cadet stadium on Sept. 22.
 OWLS LACK RESERVES
 When Jack Meagher passed out of the picture at Rice last winter, Kitts, who gained national fame a fe wears ago as coach of the Ath- ems High School basketball team and who played quarterback on one of my Southwest Methodist teams, was given the job.
 He is very enthusiastic over his outfits chances with the return to eligibility of two fine backs, John Mcvauley and Bill Wallace. The Owls, however. appear to be weak in reserve strength. They get their seasons baptism against Loyola's s Wolves in New Orleans on Sept. 22.
 Texas Christian has sopho- more, Sam Baugh, who may be the find of the year. He is being heralded as great passer and Coach Meyer can be depended up- on to build strong team around him. Things have been supi- ciously> quiet at Ft. Worth. It may presage a football storm.
 The Frogs. were dealt a serious blow in training, when Dan Har- ston, a triple-threat fullback, suf- fered a broken arm that will keep him out of action for several weeks.
 Baylor seeks ends to replace Jim Petty and Frank James, who were an exceptional pair throughout the last two seasons. If capable wing men are found, the Bears will be dangerous, as usual. They have always been extremely troublesome to my teams.
