CoIorfuI Outfit Earns
$4,000 This Year

BY the Associated Press.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Oct. Is
Analogous to the heroine striving
to keep the mortgage from sweeping
away her old pappy's all, the foot
ballers Of st. Mary's figuratively are
ready to die for their college.
They must earn $4,000 this sea-
son or intercollegiate athletics will
become only a fond memory at the
school.
They haven't done so welp thus
far, but a team that scores 1l5
points on four opponents-South-
eastern Oklahoma, Southeastern
Louisiana, Jefferson Barracks and
Eastern New Mexico-and doesn't
allow its goal line to be crossed is
due to start clicking at the gate as
well as on the gridiron.
ColorfuI Simms Quits.

sons. the colorful Nose Simms. who
did everything on a grandiose scale.
resigned and Lloyd Russell, former
Baylor star, was hired as coach.
Local businessmen underwrote
s25 900 athletic program. Now all
the team has to do is earn that
in gate receipts and guarantees.
A flock of stars who had not made
the scholastic grade at their COL
leges came to st. Marys and Russell
also obtained a dozen or so ex-
schoolboy players from San Antonio.
Then a few lads wandered in on the
tide of publicity the Rattlers re-
ceived last year.
From Baylor came Bob Carter,
whom Russell ranks with such pass
ing greats as Davey OBrien, Sam
Baugh and Bill Patterson. Also
there was George Koch. brother of
former all-America Bochey Koch of
Baylor.
A Miscellaneous Outfit.
Paul PlatZ came as a gift from
the Pacific Coast Conference where

Little Curt Sandig. in his fourth
season. is one of the Southwests S
greatest broken-fleld runners.
Rudy Guest, a hold-over, and
Lamar Bryant. both ex-University
of Georgia players, also cavort in the
backfleld.
The boys still travel in that
elaborate double-decker bus in
troduced by Sims. And to pare eX-
penseS they use those old uniforms
of red, white and blue. They're
faded and streaked, but the team in
them appears the best st. Mary's
ever had.
Russell says he can score on any
outfit in the country if his line gives
the passers adequate protection.
But what he's worrying most about
is scoring at the turnstiles.
