one national title in that time.
But the Green Bay Packers and
the Redskins (of nowhere), as they
square of for combat this coming
Sabbath, constitute a couple of coach's
dreams, and you'll have to range far
and wide to find a foot ball game
that comes closer to being perfect.
The Packers have carried the element
Of power to its maximum value In
foot ball, blending it with speed and
intelligence and precision. .-
The Redskins, starting out with a
group Of brilliant individuals, have
undergone a welding process as the
season progressed, until now their
varied stars operate as smoothly as

1t will be Redskin guile and daring

Spectators Are Pleased.

THAT was the primary reason why
the open game grew to such popu-
larity in the Southwest But, sec
ondly. 1t pleased the spectators more
than old-fashioned straight foot ball,
so all of us went In for passing on a
large scale. Down here you find teams
passing from all parts Of the field;
even when on their own or 10 yard
line. We have made passing as i'm
portant as running plays in our style
Of foot ball, and you cannot say we
have been unsuccessful"
These Southwesterners do play an
interesting brand Of foot ball. They
have speeded up the game with their
forward passing. and while such con-
servatives as DR.. John B. Sutherland
Of Pittsburgh. Howard Jones of South
ern California and Lou Little of Co
lumbia might be inclined to discredit
the daring of the Westerners, their
style Of play never is drab or dull.
Foot ball is growing rapidly in
public interest because of our open
style of play" said Jimmy Stewart,
the affable director of Southern
Methodist. I'VE have enjoyed one Of
the best seasons in the history of the
school and think the same is true
Of other schools in the conference.
High school foot ball in Texas Is
comparable with that in any other
part of the country and Texas boys
now take native pride in playing for
some school within the State. As O
result, our boys develop a big follow
ing and the crowds are growing each
season."

TITS this way" continued Thomson.
"The weather in Texas is unbearably

team to play so minutes of straight,

Of substitutes. Very few teams in the
Southwestern Conference have much

have gone in for forward and lateral
passing to a greater degree than in
any other section Of the country to

Southern Methodist Pioneers.

TEXAS teams are going abroad in
increasing numbers each season.
Southern Methodist, which has played
Notre Dame, Army and Fordham, was
a pioneer in spreading the open style
Of Southwestern play. but others are
following this lead. Texas Christian is
playing Santa Clara in San Francisco
next Saturday, and next Fail goes
to Ohio State for a game against
its former coach, Francis Schmidt.
The Methodists play University of
California at Los Angeles in 1887,
Pittsburgh in 1888 and Notre Dame in
1889 and still keep Fordham On their
schedule. This Fall, Texas A. & M.
played San Francisco and Utah with
in a span Of five days and Texas
journeyed to Minnesota. Others are
branching out and within few years
the Southwest win play q wide-fung
intersectional schedule.
Texas teams have produced their
share Of all-Americas during the last
half dozen years and are just starting
in the business. In 1885, South
western foot ball was the equal Of any
in the country, and while this season
was q bit below par, the Texas region
is looking forward to 1887 and an
