PA(5K NINE 77 IT Tf Tops DAILY CLARION-LEDGEK, JACKSON, THURSDAY MORNING, JANUARY 2, 1936 Mowl Tilt 19; SMU Miss RETURNS HERE Stanford Makes Good CHOCTAW CAGERS STARTED ON TRIP Texas Horned Frogs Beat Tigers 3 To 2, Kicking Field Goal Late Rally In Final Period By Ole Miss Falls Short 1 Point First Resolution S.M. U. 7-6 tosses intercepted by Harold Mc-Clure, substitute halfback. A few seconds later the game ended with TCU in possession of the ball on down at the Mississippi 39. Makofske and Carroll split the Ole Miss line for another first down at the 28 and steady bucks moved the stakes again to the 11 yard yard strip.

Off tackle play went to the two yard line and a lateral to Adamitis saw the latter circle left end without a hand touching him. Mulligan added the point from placement. Dave Bernard, running like a mad bull, smashed his way back to the 60 yard line on the kick-off return. Ray Hapes went nine yards off right tackle, but a pass was intercepted on second down and Catholic punted back to the Mississippi 40. Peters lost four on a reverse to the right and failed to gain on a similar play before Bernard punted to the Card 30.

Ole Miss tightened up and held two plays to little gain before Carroll punted to Hapes and the little rabbit scampered 31 yards with the leturn as his mates gave him good blocking. Even with the help of a TULANE STADIUM, New Orleans, Jan. 1 (JP) An accurate place kick by Taldon Manton, held steadily by nimble hands of "slinging" Sam Baugh, provided the victory margin of a battle won in the rain this afternoon by the Horned Frogs of Texas Christian university over the Tigers of Louisiana state. A record breaking turnout of for 1936's Sugar Bowl festival packed Tulane's stadium as the Texans engineered a deserved 3-2 victory over Louisiana, Southeastern conference gridiron champions. Louisiana took an early lead midway the second period when Texas Christian's passing, kicking and all around star, Sam Adrian Baugh dropped back to pass after a valient goal line defense, stepped over the end zone, automatically giving the Tigers a safety.

Both elevens played cautiously throughout the first period, play being confined to a brilliant punting duel between Baugh and Abe Mickal, L.S.U.'s great triple threat fullback. Early in the second period Louisiana State threatened with a drive that carried to the Frogs one foot line, featuring line smashes by Bill Crass, FatheiTee and Mickal. The Frogs warded off the attack short of the goal line. Baugh dropped back in punt formation, attempted a pass but stepped behind his end zone, automatically giving the Tigers a safety, and a two point lead. Texas Christian then kicked to Louisiana's 40, where Ernie Seago fumbled and Willie Walls recovered for the Texans.

On the next play Jim Lawrence, hard driving Frog halfback, crossed up the Tigers defense by tossing a forward to Walls, that was good for 25 yards to the Tiger 16. Three line smashes were checked by the Bengals and on fourth down, Baugh kneeled down On the 25-yard line to hold the ball as Manton booted the ball squarely over the goal posts for what proved tha winning points. Aside from the actual scoring, Louisiana State lacked necessary power on two occasions as the Tiger machine rolled to the two yard line, only to be stopped by the Frogs powerful line, featuring the play of All America Darrell Lester and Tracy Kellow, 168-pound guard, who was the defensive star of the game. The Louisiana eleven also displayed defensive brilliance in halting a Texas drive, coming after a sparkling 44-yard run by Baugh to the Tigers two yard line early In the fourth period. Four line plays lost nine yards and with two minutes to play Mickal kicked to midfield.

Texas Christian punted over the goal and LSTj tried desperately to score by passes, only to have one of Mickal's CLINTON, Jan. 1 After two days of practice, the Mississippi college Choctaws will "hit the road" for the remalncVr of the week. The Choctaws will play four games during the remaining four nights of this week. Leaving the campus early this morning, the Indians will try to start the New Year right by defeating the thus far un vanquished Coca-Cola Triangles of the Memphis Y.M.C.A. Not satisfied with one appearance in Memphis, the Choctaws will then go out to West Tennessee Teachers college and en gage them Thursday night.

Friday night will find the team in Murray, Kentucky, where it will meet the always strong Murray Teachers Thorobreds. On the re turn trip the Choctaws will oppose Union University at Jackson, Ten nessee, Saturday night returning to the campus Sunday. Thus far this year the Choctaws have been seen in action only twice, once against a team of Choc taw Indians who went down by a 50-20 count. The second team met also went down before the Clinton offensive, 47-28. This team was the strong Burns Independents.

Noteworthy in both of the form er contests was the large per centage of shots which were made by the Choctaws, few wild shots being taken and shots taken were usually taken baskets. In the two games out of eighteen free shot attempts only two were missed, showing the accuracy of this type of shooting. Coach Landrum this year has a team composed of several nice floor-workers, among theira Co- captains Lane and Nelson. Last year these two men had a great deal to do with the nice pass-work which took place on the team. This year both men have shown definite improvement over last year, and show a promising future as to of fensive as well as defensive players.

Lane plays forward and Nelson holds down one of the guard positions. At the other forward position Is found Odom. odom is one of the fastest men on the Indian's team Although not a regular all of the year last year, Odom's work is already receiving commendation this year. Odom, Lane, and Nelson ar seniors. Assisting Nelson Is McPhearson a sophomore.

On the team last year McPhearson stood out as a guard and it appears that the same will be true with his varsity playing. As a member of tne state champion Clinton High school team, McPhearson received all-state commendation. Completing the first team Is Treadway, center. A junior, Tread-way will see a great deal of action at the post which indications show he will capably hold down. As substitute forwards, Coach Landrum has Newsom and Landrum.

Both of these men are sophomores and are showing up as very promising players at this position. Relief guard positions are taken by Mohon and Allen. Both men have seen former service, Mohon being a senior and Allen a junior. The relief center job Is taken over by Shakleford, another senior, whose lankiness will mean a great deal to the Choctaws offensive as well as defensive. YOUTH, 22, ADMITS SLAYING FATHI YORKTOWN.

MLrot of Our Service Si To Defeat ROSE BOWL, PASADENA, CaL, Jan. 1 tP Stanford's light-hearted football players were ser ious today as they defeated Southern Methodist University 7 to 0, before a crowd of more than The only touchdown of the game was scored when the first period was about three quarters over, Bill Paulman, Stanford's sophomore quarterback, slanting oft his own left tackle from the two yard line to be the first, last and only player to count all day. Oddly enough the winning touch down was made possible by a for' ward pass, a weapon which Stanford was not supposed to know much about.

The railblrds had thought Southern Methodist would do the throwing and Stanford the running. As It turned out, a 22 yard pass sent Stanford deep in Southern Methodist territory and led to the score. The big bowl was Jammed to the hilt with excited humanity, parti san Texans, equally partisan Cali- fornlans and other thousands who just came for the ride. The big Stanford team showed early in the day that it had not come to the Rose Bowl today to laugh. Twice in the last two years the Redskins have lost to eastern teams and their friends have said they took their New Year's chores too lightly.

Their resolution this was to get out in front and stay there and this they did, in spite of desperate efforts by the Mustangs from Dallas to overhaul them. Eight members of the Stanford team today had played two pre vious losing games in the Rose Bowl, and they were determined to show the football worm could turn and would nt be the same on the other side. The game was not as exciting as had been forecast. Stanford picked up a first period touchdown and did not do much thereafter while Southern Methodist never could muster a consistent passing attack, although one smart for ward followed by two laterals gave the visitors the ball on Stanford's five yard line. This golden oppor tunity went glimmering when a fumble cost the attacking team possession of the ball.

The capacity crowd included many distinguished citizens of the two big states supporting the battling elevens. Former President Hoover led the Stanford delegation and the gover nors California and Texas sat on opposite sides of the field. During the game Mr. Hoover came across the arena to meet Governor Allred and Jesse H. Jones, a distinguished Texan, who heads the Reconstruction Finance Cor poration.

Both teams have played better ball during the seasnn than they did today. At times the contest threatened to become dull and never was there the sustained ex citement some other New Year's day classics have produced. After getting behind early in the cay, the Mustangs threw the ball wildly but only a few short passes connected. Few long ones were attempted and none made good al though one failed by a whisper when BobDy urayson rushed over and knocked it down. The Texans never had a chance to get their passing attack under way.

Stanford hur ried the passers all afternoon. Stanford, after getting out in front, tried to increase its lead by passing when the Texans showed they were able to stop the running attack. Eut a Mustang almost intercepted a pass, with a clear field ahead to a touchdown, so the Redskins quickly changed their tactics and held tenaciously to what they had. The stars of the two teams fared rather badly. Bobby Wilson lived up to his reputation as a sensational runner by bringing the crowd up standing with a half dozen sprints, including one of 23 yards, but he was too badly rushed to do any ef fective passing.

Iron Man Wetzel. great S. M. U. guard, was injured and forced from the game early in the struggle.

Pauiman was tha ofXensive ani defensive star of the Stanford back-field. The young quarterback played a sensational game on defense, was ulert throughout and had a much tetter day on the whole than his ail-American teammate, Bobby Grayson. Grayson was never able to get away, his longest run of the day being seven yards and he was tossed several times for five and six yard losses. Southern Methodist led In first downs, nine to six and gained more total yardage, 187 to 10. The Mustangs gained 104 yards from passing against 44 for Stanford in its two completed tosses.

S.M.U. attempted 31 passes and completed 10 while Stanfard connected with two out of six. Stanford, however, intercepted six of the Mustangs' throws while S. M. U.

caught only one Stanford pass. Stanford fumbled three times but recovered each while S.M.U. fumbling only once, lost the ball on the Stanford live yard nne. Stanford struck while the foot ball Iron was hot and kept South era Methodist away from the goal the Indians greatest strength today undoubtedly being their ability to rush the passers. Once set, the Mustangs might have passed to two or more touchdowns but the Redskins, led by the fast topping, never would let them get In position to throw as they had thrwn early in the season.

Fred Williams, Grayson's substitute, had a better average than the big Stanford fullback. Williams carried the ball five times for an average of 2.4 while Grayson averaged 1.8 In 17 times and Wilson 1.75 In 12 times. Grayson gained a total of 42 yards and Wilson 50 yards. Bones Hamilton carried It 14 times for 33 yards and an average of 1.5. Shelly Burt ran the ball twice for Southern Methodist gaining six yards, an average of three yards, and Jack Rabbit Smith wound up with a minus average.

Bill is well remembered from having appeared in the local arena several times a couple of years ago, and It is said that he is better than he was at that time. If that's true, Ligosky is in for a battle. The main bout this week is one that is attracting a lot of atten tion as it brings together two scien tific and clean fierhters.

On second down Catholic intercepted a pass but Rodgers intercepted for Ole Miss on the next down running back to his own 44.

Ray Hapes ran 17 yards for a first down as the period ended. Fourth Period Hutson went in for Nelson at center and cath sent in half a dozen fresh men. Two plays failed but Baumstein passed to Rodgers for 19 yards and a first down at the Catholic 23. Hapes and Ber nard failed but Rodgers went nine yards off guard and Ber nard made it first down on the Cardinal 12. Hapes slanted oif tackle for three, Bernard crashed center for three.

Baumstein made it first down on the one yard line. Catholic was offside and the ball was on the one-foot line Bernard hit tackle for the touchdown with yards to spare. Ber nard was wild with an attempt at placement. Catholic took a weak kickofi to its own 37 and failed to make the necessary yardage in three line plays punting to Ray Hapes at the 15, with Ray running bacK 25 yards to the 40. On third down, Irish Carroll grossly interfered with Poole on a long pass from Baumstein, but the penalty was not called.

Carroll hugged Poole around the neck before the ball came down and released the Mississippi end just in time to reach out and bat the ball down. Ber nard punted out of bounds on the Card 13. Three plays killed time and Catholic punted to the Missis sippi 45. Ole Miss made eight yaros in three plays and punted to the Card 13, wher Jackson made a swell tackle. T)3e plays railed and Hapes returned from his own 35 to the Catholic 39 in another brilliant run.

A long pass, Rodgers to Peters, who came In for Hapes, barely eluded uie grasp of the receiver. Baum stein passed to Poole for a 12 yard gain and Buster lateralled to Kinard who chareed for a first down at the Card 29. Baumstein passed to Poole for a touch down.

A magnificient comeback rahy by Ole Miss feU one point short of a tie with Catholic University in the second annual Orange Bowl game and the Mississippi equad lost a wild and wooly con test, 20 to 19.

Ole Miss outplayed the Wash Ington club in every department save the Red and Blue chronic weakness, aerial warfare. Missis sippd rolled up 15 first downs to seven for Catholic and had the Magnolia State boys been able to defend themselves adequately against the Catholics they would have been easy winners despite the absence of big Hapes and the Injury in the second quarter which handicapped little Hapes. Total yardage gained was 211 for Ole Miss, 121 for Catholic. The Cardinals scored on lateral passes and then on a forward before Ole Miss counted at all. A blocked punt gave the Washing ton team its third score.

Ole Miss shook Ned Peters loose for a 67 yard gallop in the sec end period and then plunged through the Cardinal line for fourth period tally, but missed both points. Bill Richardson's usually trusty toe was wild in trie first instance and Dave Bernard was weak with an effort in the second case. The two misses cost Ole Miss the decision, as it proved With two minutes to play, Baum- Ktein passed to Poole for the xinai Mississippi score alter Baumstein's heaves had paved the wayt for the tally.

On first down an intended punt cost five yards as Bernard was downed. But on second down Dave boomed it down to the Catholic 22, Bernard gaining eleven yards on the trade, thanks to a nice breeze at his back. Jackson and Dickens partly blocked a Catholic kick, and Ole Miss had the ball at exactly mid-field, but Catholic intercepted on first down a pass from Bernard and a lateral pass play, Carroll to Adamitis, gave the Cardinals a first IT'S NOT TOO LATE FOR A PHILCO RADIO E.

"Dutch" Mey er, coach of the victorious Texans "It was the finest game I've ever seen played in the rain. I was thrill ed when we held LSTJ down by the goal line twice in a row. "Louisiana has a truly great ball club and that fellow Tinsley (all America end) is a genuine all Amer lean." Bernie Moore, Louisiana's coach, coud not be reached after the game as state highway policemen guarded the dressing room of the Tiger player. However, a number of the Bengals were seen entering their dressing room with tears lining their mud splashed faces. The conclusion was that Louis iana's heralded power attack failed, The soggy field had established the Tigers as slight favorites, but their running attack bogged down before the aggressiveness of the gridders from the Southwest conference.

Incidentally, field goals have play ed a major part in two of Texans victories over L.S.U. In 1931 the Frogs conquered Louisiana State 3-0, In 1932, a field goad gave them a 3-3 tie. And today a field goal gave them their most prized victory. Summary: T. C.

Though the reserve power does not measure up to the standards of the first string, in Willie Stone, Bonner, Pittman, Ward and Brumfield, Coach Carideo has a better-than-fair group to select from.

With the opening of the boxing schedule against Tennessee on January 17, no coach has been assigned to take the place of Russ Crane, last year's director. However, practically every letterman of the past season has returned for work, and with the addition of a number of sophomores, high hopes are held for a victorious series of engagements. "Moon" Mullens Is the leading contender for the heavy-weight division, and the light-heavy position will go to either of two experienced men, Siaa and Carl In-man. Reddoch, conference middleweight champion, will return for his second year of boxing, and the junior-middle division is being fought out between Sanders and Guyton, two lettermen of last year. Murray, sophomore, Is contender for the welter position and candidates for lower weights are Lowery, Woods, Downing, Rand and Oak ley.

The Maroon quintet Jumped to an excellent start before Christ mas, taking Impressive victories from Oglethorpe.

With only nine days in which to practice, they will open the conference series on home territory against the Florida Gators, January 11 and 12. Coach Frank Carideo has built his starting aggregation around five competent veterans who saw a great amount of service last sea son. From that number, Carideo picked Armstrong and Pillow to start at guards against Oglethorpe and indications point to similar choice in the coming tilt with the Miami boys. Walters ar Galloway have the upper hand a the two forward positions, wit "Honey" Stone first string center. Pillow Is playing his last seasor with the Maroon cagers, and was given high rating last year follow ing sterling performances against the best teams in the Southeastern conference.

He was also prominent on the football field, acting as cap tain of the 1934 squad, and spent much time on the baseball diamond under Coach Dudy Nobles. Armstrong and Walters are also three-letter men and Carideo is re lying upon them to carry much of the load during the heavy schedule. Galloway, although not participat ing in other sports Is rated as one of the best basketeers seen on the State campus in many years.
