Through the years the SMU-
TCU battle has meant more than
just two strong football rivals
getting together.
Take 1929. when TCU won its
first conference championship. Al
tie with SMU was needed to do
it-and TCU got that. In 1885,
Southern Methodist and Texas
Christian played for the Rose
Bowl invitation. That was the
day of 1.-The $4,000" pass from
Bob Finley to Bobby Wilson that
put SMU into the Pasadena
classic. SMU got 500. 900 for play
ing in the Rose Bowl. where the
Methodists lost to Stanford.
Even in 1888, when TCU was
undefeated and united and was
named national champion. the
Southern Methodist game was i'm
portant. TCU had to win it to
take the conference title.
Got Needed Tie.
In 1947. when Southern Meth
odist had an undefeated season.
the Methodists had to tie TCUI
to win the conference champion
ship. SMU did.
And so the teams come I'D to the
last game of this season with
Texas Christian having to win toI
take the conference championship.

and SMU badly battered. But
Coach Dutch Meyer of Texas
Christian says it will be a tough
one anyway.
SMU hasn't won over TCU in
four years.
Coach H. N Russell of Southern
Methodist says his team won't
do it this time either and he pre-
diets TCU will win by two touch
downs. They're leading the
league. we're almost on the bottom
and have a half-dozen of our best
men unable to play, so what can
you expect?" Russell asked.
