DALLAS, Oct. 2.-Southern Meth
odist's Madison Bell, who takes
sports writer's to task for calling
him Moanin' Matty, says:
We'll be lucky if We can keep
Fordham from beating us by 80
points"
Matty takes his Mustangs on a
jaunt to New York Saturday to bat
tie the mighty Rams in a top inter-
sectional game.
Red McClain Chats the former
S. M. U. star now playing on the
New York Giants pro team told me
Fordham was better than last year
and you know what a ball club
they put in the Cotton Bowl against
Texas A. and M.
My boys hustle. They did that
Saturday, but don't let that $40
score we ran up on North Texas
State fool you. North Texas just
didn't have the usual strong team.
They lost too many experienced men.
"Fordham is rated the best in the
GdSI. wen, we re not rdteQ the
strongest in the Southwest. I'm
afraid it's going to be mighty rough
for us up there"
Bell said he was pleased with the
showing of his boys in their first
game, that Jim Wright, the soph-
omore, was doing well in plugging
the hole at center; that Joe Pasoua
was a mighty fine tackle, and that
Backs Preston Johnston. Horace
Young. Red Maley and Dick Miller
showed up well.
But we don't have the experience
! and the power to hold up against the
big Fordham team with such great
backs as Jim Blumenstock and Steve
Filipowicz."
