TORT WORTH, Tex, November
- 30.-n you happen to live in
California, New York or the
u Midwest you might be sur
prised to know how many foot ball
experts believe the two strongest teams
In the country are meeting at Fort
Worth today.
The two teams are Southern Meth
odist from Dallas and Texas Christian
from Fort Worth.
The experts base their opinions on
both offensive and defensive strength
an attack that combines hard, fast
running and high-class blocking, ex-
cellent forward passing and consistent
kicking-a defense that features two
big, aggressive lines that pillow in on
the split second, lines and end that
know their stuff, plus man-power that
can move around
This Southwestern challenge has
brought in foot ball writers from
every section of the country-from
general idea of getting their own slants
on the comparative merits Of the
Southwest against the field.
The Yankee Stadium or the Yale
Bowl couldn't provide seats for the
crowd trying to see this Texas final
Baugh against Wilson providing one
Of the main debates of the day.
Some Comparative Values.
THE Army is playing the Navy
Princeton is tearing into Yale
Stanford is waiting on the West Coast
"A star Minnesota team mas finished
its season-but, in this vast empire of
the Southwest, Texas Christian and
Southern Methodist are putting on
the fanfare that counts as far as the
cottonwood trail is concerned.
o. the way into Texas I asked Biff
Jones to give me his slant on the
comparative merits of Eastern, West
ern, Southern and Southwestern foot
ball.
Capt. Biff should know. AS one of
the best of the Army coaches, he
played them all, from Harvard and
Yale to Notre Dame and Illinois.
Later he came to L. S. U. From L. S.
U. he moved to Oklahoma.
Bif says what he thinks, and. still
more important, he thinks about what
he says. Here is the verdict:
THE Southwest IS a new, but classy
foot ball territory of real promise, al
ready possessing more good foot ball
teams than the East, although con-
tending with obstacles that seldom
worry the bigger Eastern school.

Coaching Is Excellent.

A1RS1, the quallCy OF lLS coacnlng
is excellent, in fact, the South
west seems to be a training ground
for coaches of other conferences and
sections which up to now have been
considered superior to Texas schools.
1t sent Ray Morrsion from S. M. U.
10 Vanderbilt, Jack Meaeher from Rice
to Auburn, Francis Schmidt from T.
G. U. to Ohio State, Dana Bible from
Texas Aggies to Nebraska and Lynn
Waldorf from Oklahoma Aggies and
Kansas State to Northwestern. Not
only does the work of these fellows in
their new surroundings speak for it
self, but all have been replaced by
able, shrewd successors.
Save for Pitt, doubt if any East
ern school plays as difficult schedule
as the average Southwestern school.
Look at the first two games this year
September %, Rice-L. S. u, and Oc-
tober 5, Texas-L. S. u! It's a mat
ter Of necessity for Southwestern
teams. Because of the small popula-
ton density, which means smaller
crowds and reduced price of tickets,
each game has to be an attractive one.
Breathers mean financial losses.
Moreover, Southwestern schools
aren't protected financially like the
larger Eastern schools, which can
make their budgets on four big games
and afford to operate at a loss on
breathers (although Eastern schools
usually break even on breathers).
Also, in the Southwest, foot ball has
to carry the full load of the athletic
program. No other sport pays its
way.

Before left New York, Jimmy
Crowley of Fordham told me that he
regarded Southern Methodist as one
Of the best teams he had seen In
years. He knew them as juniors,
and they have been even better as
seniors.
The battle at Fort Worth should
be duel between Sam Baugh's throw
ing arm and Bob Wilson's jack rabbit
legs.
Apparently the entire Southwest is
steamed up over this argument, since
both are past masters at the two
Jobs. Bob Neyland told me that
Wilson was the best running back
he had seen this season-and Ney-
land has seen McCauley, Wallace, the

High School Material Good.

"SOUTHWESTERN high school ma

Texas high schools have, for some
years. been favored with a high quail
ity Of coaching, which means the boys
come up pretty well prepared.
Oklahoma high schools, especially
In the larger cities, also are getting
Ehe advantage of good coaching.
However, in the past, Oklahoma has
had trouble keeping her high school
boys at home. Arkansas likewise has
this difficulty to face.
This Fall Southern Methodist,
Texas Christian and Rice are in the
class Of any team in the Nation.
Louisiana State, while in the South
eastern Conference, doesn't miss be-
ing Southwestern very fer and should
be added to the above group. Speak
Ing generally, Southwestern teams
emphasize the forward and lateral
pass more than the East. However,
Eastern teams like Pitt and Temple
probably average having slightly bet
ter running attacks than Southwest
ern teams, although these Texas squads
are surprisingly well equipped from
the standpoint Of man power, size,
speed, coordination and skill.
Southwestern teams have q definite
advantage in climate. Up to Novem-
Der /, Eastern and Northern teams get
cool days In late September and Octo-
ber while the Southwest usually
ewelters. However, after that, the ad-
vantage is all our way, making the
temptation especially strong to prolong

Building for Future.

CETTTNG back to finance, South
western schools cannot operate
on any grand financial scale compa-
rable to the East because of lack of
population density. While there are
some nice stadiums, none of them COM
pare to the Yale Bowl or Franklin Field
ut Philadelphia. Some Southwestern
stadiums seat as high as 10000, but
have never been full No question that
these schools were building for the
future.
