Jr THE NEWS-TRIBUNE Ai FIRST ACCURATE COMPLETE HO Second String Line-Up Will Centenary Eleven Expected to Open With Manv Passes Bruins I line Not Scouted Louisiana Team Since They ook on T. U. Christians Ry JINX TUCKER Editor Not over two or three of the era that started against the University of Arkansas h. re last Saturday, will be in the starting Baylor lineup in Shreveport Saturday, That is when Baylor meets Centenary, a Centenary team not as strong as a year ago, hut nevertheless a Centen- i ary team which was strong enough to stop Texas without score for a half. Jennings for Statement Coach Morley Jennings is authority for that statement.

He said so himself- not in so many words, but he declare that he would very likely start his second-string lineup in Shreveport against Centenary. The first stringers need a rest, Louis Farndeaux, the star center, now out with a badly cut eye, will not make the trip, so Harold Stafford will very likely start at center. It would not be surprising should the guards be Mitchell and Zarchry. Winton may I be one of the starting guards. The1 tackle posts wdli probably be taken care of by Larson and Barrett.

The latter started against Arkansas, but he needs the experience, so he will; likely play moat of the way at the position against Centenary, Albert will probably be at one wing and Runnels may be at the other, Quarterback Doubtful The starting quarterback is very doubtful. It won bo Wilson, but It may be Alford, Walters or Tommy Glover, Ail will probably make the trip. It would not be surprising should Pierce be at fullback with Sonny Boy McClellan at one halfback and Gilliland or Furl at the other. Of course, all of the regulars will be sent in before the close of the first half. Baylor did not scout Centenary Inst week, but did scout the hen they Tex us and T.

C. r. The Gents have scouted the Bears thoroughly, and there Is hardly a doubt hut that the Gentlemen, featuring Jake Hanna will open up with a series of passes from the ery start of the game, In that event. It would he no sen- I national upset should the Gents take the lead and keep It, There was no scrimmage drill at Carroll field yesterday, but tha boys worked a little harder than the day before. There will probably be a scrimmage this afternoon.

The game of Monday between the Reserves and the Cubs was also called off, depriving the Reserves of their opportunity to gain revenge. S. M. U. Ole Miss.

New dope at hand indicates that the in Dallas Saturday is very apt to be much better than first thought. It will he the last practice game for the Ponies They open their conference season next week against Texas university. They will try to beat Ole Miss without showing anything, and their task will be difficult. Ole Miss went to New' Orleans last week and won from Loyola. 8.

U. playing a a it has played against all rivals this season, save Nebraska, cannot win from Ole Miss. S. M. at its best can decisively defeat Ole Miss.

Before the battle is over Saturday, the fans are apt to ace quite a ball game. Evidently Jack Meagher does not think much of the chances of the Owls to win from Texas university. Rice, did not have a game last week, but instead of going to Texas to watch the Longhorns play Oklahoma in order to get a line on the Texas strength, Meagher came to Waco to watch the Rears and Razorbacks tangle. Evidently Meagher figured he knew too much about the longhorn strength without going to Dallas to learn more, Inei- dentally while Meagher was in this city along with Gaylord Johnson, the Rice business manager, a 2-vear contract calling for games between Rice and Arkansas was signed. The Owls and the Razorbacks will meet in Fayetteville next year and in 1931 will meet in Houston.

The Longhorns will probably run against the Owls Saturday. The Owls have the sort of team which must be inspired to hold a team such as the Longhorns to a three or 4- touchdown margin. Get Heady for Arkansas The Aggies, sick at heart, due to their second consecutive reverse at the hands of T. C. and just about out of the championship hunt for the year are getting ready for Arkansas.

The result of that conference games will not mean much The Razorbacks, with a powerful team, are completely out of the championship picture. The Aggies, with a team stronger than some which have won conference titles in the past are just about out of the hunt. Nevertheless it promises to be a great duel. Those who merely want to see a real football game this week-end can go to College Station and feel assured that thev will be rewarded with a stellar exhibition. It will certainly be a daring, wide- open affair.

The Porkers are desperate now. They will scatter caution to the four winds as they did against Baylor, and they will score on the They may score often enough to hold their lead You can look for another wild, spectacular offensive battle at College Saturday, and if Jack Dale recovers sufficiently enough to go the route, the game will be nothing more than an even bet. In backing up thp line Dale has few superiors in the conference. He was No. 13 in the contest here last week.

He limped out late in the fray, and it was then that the Bears shot, through the Arkansas line for gain after gain on tained march for a tounchdown. Miller, a triple threat star, de will be in top condition for the fray, and that indicates that Arkansas will take to the air for victory. The Razorbacks have a better line than A. and and playing as they did agamst Baylor, they will probably win from A. and Next week the Aggies will have a chance to rest.

They will be battling F. Austin while Texas ia playing U. Coach Jennings states that he mav start a second-string team against Centenary Saturday, and the Gentlemen are apt to force Jennings to rush in his first-stringers before the game is very old. The second did not get to see much service last Saturday. Arkansas saw to that.

Sonnld Boy Met lelian, Alford, lilackle Reynolds, and failed to get in the game. Tommy Glover got in the contest Just long enough to call one play. It would not he surprising should Gloxer start the game against the Centenary team. Jennings will probably take 27 men to Shreveport for the contest. Louis Paradeaux, out with a badly cut eye.

Will not make the trip, but ail other regulars will be on hand 0 have a card from Dr. Pickett of Dallas, always a strong Baylor supporters. The Dallas sportsman was unable to be In Waco for the game last Saturday, the card being sent from Chicago where he is attending a medical school. Pickett declares that he witnessed the game between Notre Dame and Wisconsin. word from Houston states that Coach Arnold Kriekhamer of the John Reagan high team wants to take another crack at the Tigers, and that negotiations were under way for a game in Waco.

What was meant, however, w-as that negotiations were under way for a game in Waco next year. It is to be hoped that it can be arranged. Furthermore, speaking In behalf of Waco fandom, we promise faithfully not to the Houstonians out of the city even though their team the game. When the 200 or more Waco fans left Houston Saturday evening, they naturally had their heads out of the window, shouting as boys and girls are apt to do when their team wins. The response from Houston was a volley of over ripe eggs Those on the car which caught the volley, declare they never knew there were so many eggs In existence.

So carefully trained was one voley, that four smacked a Waco high girl squarely in the fare before she get her head out of the window, and there was scarcely a Waco an looking out, who did not serve as a catcher for one of the eggs. Perhaps that is one reason why Houston is having such a hard time matching step with leading teams of this section in the football parade. Houston fell behind some time ago, and the real sportsmen of the city, especially the scribes of the daily newspapers are doing w'hat they can to put high school football in Houston on the same high plane that it enjoyed years and years ago. That egg-throwing episode of Saturday, however, is just a cutback of the days of 20 years ago when it was customary to get revenge in some manner if it could not be obtained on the gridiron. We know the real sportsmen of the Bayou city would not uphold such tactics.

We that officials of John Reagan high would punish those engaging in the egg-throwing if they could learn their names. If they made a most thorough investigation they could probably learn the names. The incident, save for ruining a few dresses, and adding a few cleaning bills to the expense of the trip, also adding a disagreeable odor, hurt no one in particular, so far as Waco is concerned. Those, however, who did the egg-throwing hurt the pride of the sportsmen of Houston immeasurably Of course, those who engaged in the egg-throwing had no pride, and no courage to speak of. They w-ere what you might call slinking cowards afraid to say what they would have liked to have said individually, and even with their vast numbers were too cowardly to make the attack until the train started pulling out with no chance of anv of the Wacoans getting off the' train to seek revenge.

Such unsportsmanlike tactis are nauseating to the sportsmen the state over, and as the fans in this section of the state read these lines, they will wonder what manner of enthusiasts there are who attend and follow' the high schools of Houston. 1 hey are naught but a burning disgrace to the Bayou city, and those Tue A er who are loyal to Houston and Its athletic teams, and who are also sportsmen of the highest rank, should leave no stone unturned to thoroughly investigate the episode of Saturday evening, and If possible let the sportsmen of central Texas that such tactics are regretted the most by the real football fans of Houston. stated, when the Heights team comes to Waco, It will he treated as a guest should he treated, win or lose, hut until the Houston sportsmen can teach the egg-throwing Houstonians how to accept a defeat, it will be far better for the Tigers not to engage In a game In the Bayou city. The Tigers are apt to win from Houston most any time It makes a football trip to the Bayou city, and Inasmuch as the sportsmanship reputation of the coast city Is endangered when Its team loses a big game at home, It would lie far better to wait until the real sportsmen of the city teach the egg throwing champions how to act. I C.

J. Costello of Houston sends I up the following clipping from the I Houston Chronicle And Del Pratt, 1 at Waco. According to word from mm posted in baseball in the Texas league, there is a sentiment developing against Derrill as manager at and they report that he may not be back next year There is no: use worrying about successors for Del until fact is established about his departure, for this rumored change in pilots is based on Costello wants to know' if there is anything to the talk There Is absolutely nothing to the rumor. Pratt will be back, and Cub prospects for are brighter than they ever been before. Pratt could probably hind a better job as manager than he has In Waco, but his interests are here.

The directors of the ball club are satisfied with Pratt as manager, and Pratt Is satisfied to stay here, so the proposed change Is Just a lot of blah. The Houston sportsman also asks the following: is one in football that I will thank you to explain for me, A is playing The latter gets the ball on As 2-vard or 3- yard line ready to go over for a touchdown. A Is penalized for roughing, but how can the referee assess the penalty? He can't give five vards and a touchdown. What can he In that case, the ball is i placed on the 1-yard line, first down, i and had the play been out on the 14-yard line, calling for a 15-yard penalty, it wmuld ahso be placed on the 1-yard line, first down. isten to this In Friday afternoon's Dallas Journal: Cleburne Jackets are said to lack spirit which was so conspicuous last year.

Their stork, however. Is high In the game this week against Temple Wildcats. Temple is said to be stronger than the Jackets but is expected to lose the game because of over confidence. Last year Temple ran up a big score on Cleburne and the Jackets are hoping to turn the tables." 4 ncls Jake, who does not know the difference between a place kick and a punt did not write the above, but it must have been one of his teges. It is very correct except for the fact that Cleburne had no game matched with Temple last Fri- day or this Friday- that Temple is not expected to lose because of overconfidence.

Of course it was Cleburne I that won the game from Temple last year, and not Temple that defeated Cleburne, but that's been a year ago, and the Dallas scribe cannot be expected to remember that far back, 0 Weil give the writer the benefit of the doubt on one of his statements the one w'here he says Cleburne lacks spirit, but the writer of the paragraph must not have lacked spirits when he gave out so much misinformation in one paragraph. On first reading, we thought he wms sending in material for the Error- grams Anyway it takes a smart boy to make so many misstatements in one paragraph. As a rule, the writer of such a paragraph had he never seen a fotoball, would probably have accidentally got one of the sentences correct. We have a card from none other than Patrick Walsh, who is in Lake Charles, fishing. Patrick states that he will attend the Tulane-Georgia Tech game Saturday.

It ought to be a thriller would be no great surprise should the Green Wave win. I ech, however, showed a reversal of form in whipping Florida Saturday, IJoyd Gregory of the Houston Post-Dispatch is not yet ready to count Baylor out of the running, He comments as follows: Texas, T. C. and S. M.

I Pay your money and take your choice for the 1929 championship of the Southwest conference. So equally are the teams matched, and so hot the rivalry that the chances are no team In the conference will he undefeated. Baylor university In defeating Arkansas showed a great air attack; but the way the Bear defense leaked must hate caused Coach Morley Jennings much concern." The San Angelo team tied Cisco high last year, 1.3 to 13, in most unexpected fashion. Last week Cisco met San Angelo in Cisco, and although the Loboes made 21 first downs to only one for San Angelo, the final score was 13 to 7 in favor of Cisco, Usually when a team so outclases its opponents in first downs as did Cisco last week, if. wins by margins from four to 10 touchdowns.

Jake Williams, Conference tackle with the strong T. C. team of last year, is now plating professional football. He is with the Minneapolis Red Jackets. District Five To Have a Busy Week Full Program Scheduled For High School Crid- sters on Fast a GAINESVILLE, Oct.

22-For the first time this season, a 'full card of conference games Is offered In District No. 5 of the Texas Interscholastic league next week-end with all eight teams In action. The headline attraction will be the Denison-Sulphur Springs scrap at Denison Friday afternoon. The Fast Texans displayed their cham- i plonship calibre last week with a 32-6 victory over the touted Sherman Bearcats and maintained their joint leadership in the district with the Gainesville team Denison showed a return to form Friday with a 19-13 victory over the fighting McKinney I Lions and maintained second place in the conference standing, having previously defeated Paris and tied Gainesville, The Denton high Bronchos will play their first conference game of the season entertaining the Greenville high Lions on the Broncho stampink The Lions are favorites in the contest, although Denton has been a consistent winner over class teams this season, and has a team that is a great improvement over the last seevral years, McKineny high Lions will journey to Paris where they do battle with tail-enriers, who have lost their only two conference affairs, to Denison and Sulphur Springs. The Lions ought to win a neat victory.
