There Were Unbelievers Not everyone was sold on Sammy after that soph year, although he did complete 04 of 1G1 passes for nine touchdowns.

Hi.s willowy arm began shooting passes that no defense could slop.

He hurled 19 touchdown passes thai year; reaped 1,322 yards from his 101 completions over and through bewildered enemies. But his best efforts on one stormy afternoon just failed of carrying his Christians to the Rose Bowl, Forty- one times he heaved passes in the memorable 1935 battle wilh Southern Methodist, and 16 of them were good for 179 yards and a touchdown. Many times his bullets hit their marks Ihat afternoon and bounded out of his mates' arms. Some said Slingin' San; was pegging them too hard that day.

And if wo won I was always so glad I didn't care about losing that S3." To Baugh went the credit for that treat 1935 season that saw Texas Christian win 12 of 13 games.

Injured at times. Sammy carried on and wound up the year- by pitching the Christians to smashing triumph in the first Cotton Bowl game held at Dallas. On that wet New Year's Day he passed for two touchdowns and set up a field goal with another long heave to bury Marquette's Golden Avalanche. Football wasn't Sammy's only dish in college, however. He lettered three years in basketball and baseball.

So well did he keep up the third-basing that first attracted Coach Meyer's attention to the rangy youngster, the St. Louis Cardinals got his name on one of their contracts after his Collegiate days.
