Sport Stunts
By PEP,.

The day of point minute teams has passed.
 Those wonder teams of old-re- member? Those elevens that would go through an entire season with cut yielding touchdown? Those machines that won all their games by 50 points? If you don't remem- Der them, you probably won't hear any more about such teams for a long time to come.
 For example, consider the South west Conference. The seven mem bers of the Texas-Arkansas circuit all can point to miracle teams and iron-men whose expolits reverber- ated from coast to coast. Now back in the good old days, we had team.
 Isn't it the same way with al most ny university or college? Isn't there almost always at least one world-beater lurking between the pages of the college history book?
 You stop to think, and you re- call that, yes, there probably is. And you wonder why it's record so far excelsior seems to excel-any made in the present grid season.
 Real Amateur" Team
 Look at Rice Institute of Hous- ton, Tex. The date and the exact score have been more-or Jess blur red by history, but back around 1916 Rice's team beat Southern Methodist by something like 146-3. Ever since Rice has been wishing it could count on just one-tenth of that number of points against s. M. U in any given game.
 It wasn't long ago that some pig skin-minded historian went into the archives of the s. M. U. library and came up with the announce ment that, well, s. M. us team that year wasn't so much, anyway, but gang of boys just out of high school, including many who hadn't seen a football until the Rice game.
 That's the way it used to be- and that's why those wonder teams of old could run up scores that read like Roosevelt's electoral vote. There were good teams-but they were few and far between. They were so far between that they al- ways managed to play a bunch of

set-ups in between each game with each other.
 Those were the good old days. The days may not be so good any more, but the football teams are better. It's not very long jump. now, between two really good out fits--in fact, good teams are like good automobiles and are found everywhere.
 The Southwest Conference grew older, the teams got better-and the wonder teams" passed out of the picture Today there is not one single undefeated member of the conference. It is now very rare season, indeed, when a team breezes through to the Southwest title without at least one defeat.

 Exhibit A, of course, is Minne- sota. Ahead in The Associated Press poll of experts for the myth ical national title honors, the Gophers bowed to Northwestern's Wildcats, 60.
 The day of defeated champions is here. We don't mean beaten after winning their laurels we mean beaten on the way up. It won't be the team that sweeps it's whole schedule that1l win the plaudits in the future. Instead, it will be the team that gets through a representative schedule with the most skin left on it's back. And a defeat, regardless of where it falls on the calendar, won't drive the fans away Because they won't have anywhere to go.
