of all time, nothing to do now until
next August"
No." he said, with the old Texas
half-drawl, nothing to do but ham
die my 800-acre cattle ranch and
see those cattle get plenty to eat.
l know an 8o0-acre ranch isn't so
much In Texas, but I hope to add
another S0e-acre patch this winter
and give my cattle plenty to eat.
That'n keep me buster than chuck
ing few passes, even against those
Bears"
What was your college weight"
I asked Baugh, who is 6 feet 2.
"One-eighty-two pounds" Sammy
said.
What was your reporting weight
in August and what did you finish
With" I asked.
Silent Sam
"One-eighty-two pounds" Sam
answered. Sam is strictly on the la
comic side. He says what he has to
say in the fewest possible words,
which is one Of the greatest of all
human virtues.
where are you headed for,
Dick?" I asked 168-pound Dick Todd,
one Of the best of the running backs.
'Just . little ranch outside Of
Sweetwater and few head Of cattle.
Gee, I'm glad to get back. That
home on the range looks good to
me-"
About Sipeet,pater
Both Baugh and Todd got of at
Sweetwater. This, also, is where
Lew Jenkins lives. There must be
something in the Sweetwater air
that breeds athletes.
asked Dick Todd what he thought
Of Jenkins.
LEWIS q much better fighter than
he looks to b." Todd said. "You
see he came up the hard way and
l guess that's the best way, II you
are trying to get somewhere. don't
want any part Of the fight game my
self, but this pro game is no easy
way either.
EARLY in the season took a pass
from Sammy here (meaning Baugh)
and just as I Strengthened out of a
half-spin Falaschi hit me. All he
did was to drive part of my intes-
tines back against my spine and I
had to live on milk for two weeks till
l got Strengthened out. Don't let
anybody tell you they don't hit you
in this pro game. Both Sammy and
I ought to know"
l asked Baugh about better pro-
lection for the passer, after he has
gotten the ball away.
THAT'S where the damage
comes" Sam said. "I've had to
take plenty. think the officials
might keep an eye ON what happens
after the pass Il thrown. don't
mind being Knocked down 20 much,
bat dat like fists In my face"
Who does?
l can't remember ever seeing an
official watch the passer after the
ball was thrown down the field. They
all watch the ball. I've seen plenty
myself that should have been called
double-roughness-which never was
called. Or was even seen.

fnr these college graduates who 9TH
