Injuries Are Blamed
For Poor Showing Of
Oklahoma Aggies
BY the Assoeiofed Press

SALTWATER, Okla, Oct. IT,
What's wrong with the Oklahoma
Aggie football team?
You remember, the outfit was sup
posed to continue its 20-garne WIN
ming streak this season. but instead
was tied by Arkansas, 21-21,
trounced by mighty Texas 54-6,
kicked by Southern Methodist 1876
and has very tough date with the
Georgia Bulldogs at Athens Satur-
day.
An inexplicable number of injuries
in the backfeld is the main reason,
Coach Jim Lookabaugh answers, but
he isn't trying to make any excuses
for the 1916 Sugar Bowl champions.
Our team at the start of the sea-
son was better than last year."
Lookabaugh said, but it's just like
having shiny, new 16-cylinder car.
Take out "A of those cylinders and
try to run up mountain and what
happens?"
Of the II backfleld men LoOka-
baugh counted on this season, Is
have suffered some type of injury.
The injury of Bob Fenimore, two
time All-America back, hurt the
worst. But during the S. M. U. game
last week four tailbacks and six
halfbacks were on the bench with
injuries.
Fenimore, who led the Nation in
offensive yards gained the last two
years despite a leg injury, got his
other leg hurt in the Arkansas game
three weeks ago.

Plans for VilIanova

Georgetown's strategy for Sun
days game with Villanova at Phila-
delphia is complex enough to make
a veteran sports writer think about
taking the gas pipe. 1t revolves
around three key players, Elmer
Raba, Buddy Spiess and Henry
Baronowski. All three are triple
threaters and they play two posi-
tions. That's the beginning of the
difficulty.
Coach Jack Hagerty today was un-
decided whether to start Spiess at
quarter and Baronowski at half, OF
to use the Baron at quarter and
Raba at half. Or he could begin
with Raba at quarter and Spiess in
the other spot. Or-he might keep
all three on the bench.
THE situation has wonderful
possibilities" glowed the Hoya
mentor. Wonderful possibilities,
that is, If I can keep them straight
myself. I'm certain, however, to
have good passing and running with
two of these boys in the game.
Golly, If I can figure way of get
ting all three in there together
we're liable to come up with some
thing super"
The fly in the ointment, however
is Raba's ailing knee. Damaged in
the opening tilt with Wake Forest,
it frightened up last week as the team
was warming up and Elmer has done
little more than jog around on it
this week. Trainer Johnny Williams
isn't one to let little thing like a
knee keep a player out of the game
though, and promises to have Raba
ready by Sunday.

look for outstanding performances
by Zeno and Micka, at least. Joe

Boston only because he wanted to

Bill Young definitely will play

available. but Bob De Fruiter will
have to sit out the game because

Columbia's comeback triumphs over

selling that viewpoint to his men,

Little is optimistic over the

veloped it into an efficient weapon.
He is satisfied his backield could
score with it against any team in
the country, if the line did its job.
But the line has been giving the
Columbia mentor trouble all season,
and in this case is one of the big
reasons why the betting fraternity
is conceding Army 20 points over
the Lions. Little is set at the ends,

power at guards and tackles.
