From here if appears perhaps five of the berths have beon decided. Hugh Pitts. great pivot man. is going to win the center position from Rice's Don Wilson. Ford and Johnny Tatum, sensational Dicky Moegle is going to be named at a badificld post.

although that race is much in doubt. Paul, Brooks Standout Guards As pointed out, Paul and Brooks are standouts at the guard positions. Other top guards are Clarence Dieiking of Baylor, Ray Barrett of A. and Kirby Miller of Texas and Jim Smith of SMU. While Moore and Moegle claim two of the backfield the other two are going to be finishes.

At quarterback, SMU offers Duane Nutt, the most accurate passer and a much improved player. TCU has the fastest in Ronnie Clinkscale. A. and M. has the most productive in Elwood Kettler.

Baylor has the be.st passer in Billy Hooper. There can be no choice at that position j'ct. That leaves one other backfield berth, and a number of tional backs clamor for attention. SMU has three star candidates in Frank Eidom, Hal and Don McUhenny. TCU has a highly talented sophomore in James Swink.

has its two tailbacks, George Walker and Buddy Benson. Rice has Morris Stone. Texas offers Delano Womack and BiUy Quinn, while Baylor pushes L. G. Dupre and Del Shofner.

That position also will be determined in performances yet to come. The coach for the mvlhical team alrqpdy has been decided, of course. That could go only to Bowden Wyatt, the miracle maker of the Ozarks, who somehow has combined talent, desire and luck into a highly explosive gridiron package.

In that case, the two "nin- teams in the country are going to be on display when the referee sounds the kickoff signal.

Although the rain failed to ham-', per the Wednesday drill, it did cause coach George Sauer and aides to cast apprehensive glances at the sullen clouds. The Bears have played only one game in the rain this year. That one was in Miami and the score Is best forgotten. The Bruins like to strike with a balanced menu of running and passing, and a muddy, slippery field definitely would favor rjidcr- dog Texas. Baylor now is a one- point favorite for the game.

Best news at the Bruin camp was wxapped up in the improving condition of lackles James Ray Smith and Bill Green. Smith loolibd good Tuesday, running and kicking up liis heels like a colt, but Green at that time could only hobble. Yesterday Smith was even faster, while Green also flashed unbelievable progress. He ran hard, charged from both and defensive stances, declared his knee was much improved. Need Two More Days me two mqre days and ril be ready for-anybody," the hard-tackling Temple product said.

Guard Willie Froebel also ran well, although he probably is still behind Green on recovery. Fortunately, the are better stocked on guards and may not need Froebel as much. Apparently the Bruins are going to be meeting the Te.xas team at its best. Coach Ed Price has announced he is ready to use his including tackle Herb Gray, the product who gave the Bruins so much trouble last year. The Longhorns also are rounding into top physical condition.

Star lineman Langford Sneed is reported ready te go, as well as tackle Buck Lansford. Quarterback Glen Dyer continues to impress Brice and his staff and prob- Longhorns May Open Up With Passing Attack Against Bears Mention of Wyatt serves as a reminder that if midnight ever is going to sound for those Arkansas Onderellas. surely it will sound this end. The potent Rice Owls of Jess Neely, hitting their usual November stride, will attempt to put the Hogs in their places, feat which has somehow evaded the grasp of six opponents thus far. The result ccwld hinge on two individual duels wiiich will be worth the price of admission themselves.

In Hie line, ace guards Bud Brooks and Kenny Paul will be popping leather. In the backfield, halflmck Moegle will be matching strides and point production with fullback Moore. Ironically, neither Brooks nor Moore can be termed big by the normal standards of conference linemen. Brooks is a compact 190-pounder, Paul checks in at ers, e.xtremely fast and deadly on defense. Both have been praised as superb team leaders.

GLEN DYER He Has Built a Fire Under the Longhorns AUSTIN, Nov. Texas may open up with a passing attack against Baylor at Waco Saturday in a nationally-televised clash, as the Longhorns strive for their first victory since September. If Texas accents the aerial game, it may provide the national TV abdlence with one cf the wild- cnd-wooly contests which has marked the Southwest Conference, and would be in keeping with Texas-Baylor meetings of the past two years. The Longhorns, struggling to come up off the floor after a disastrous October which netted them three losses and one tie, found a rising star last week against Southern Methodist in the person of sub quarterback Glen Dyer, who will appear on TV screens as number 28. A 6-foot, 4-inch junior.

Dyer pitched eight passes for 124 yards and sparked recovery, coming back from a two-touchdown deficit to emerge witli a 13-13 tic. The troubled Longhorn.s, with nine team members kicked out of the athletic dormitory last week by Coach Ed for breaking training, will probably serve up a m.xture of standard and spIit-T oL'erings for the national TV audience.

He reports the Owls did little or no planning for last foe, Vanderbilt, deciding instead to push preparations for the Little Rock invasion.

With the Owls in that kind of mood, the outlook is none too bright for the men of Wyatt this Saturday, even if they are now ranked as the fourth-best team. Dyer May Be Quarterback Steers Needed All Year AUSTIN, Nov. 3 If Glen uses performance as a springboard to success as a quarterback at the University of Texas, he merely will follow a which has seen three field generals rise from obscurity to fame within four years.

It was not until last week that Dyer pulled out of the red, statistically, although he had scored two touchdowns during a 10-minute stint against Washington State.
