PREVIEW I Sunday, September 11, IKS Still Hunting 1st Win Over Mississippi University FULLBACK POWER Charlie Shepard, three-year letterman at. NTSC, will be playing his final season this year. Shepard will probably he one of the starters when NTSC tackles Ole Miss Oct. 1.. He hails from Dallas and starts the season this year as the Eagles' No.

i fullback. Eagles End Home Slate With Emporia North Texas Slalc will wind a Omaha's Indians were untle- ils home season Nov. 19 wilh I Kansas Stale-Teachers College of Emporia. Tliis will bo Ihe first meeting of the two schools on the gridiron, although they have been "close-matched rivals at many of the spring track carnivals in recent years. Emporia lias entered some outstanding (rack men in the annual North Texas Relays here.

FINAL GAME The Eagle game will wind up the nine-game season tor the Hornets. Omaha University's Indians, 7-6 winners over East Kentuckv Stale in Ihe Tangerine Bowl at Orlando, New Year's Day, are slated to be (he first opponents lor the Hornets, who will be playing (heir first season under their new head eoach, Keith Caywood. The season's opener for bolh ball clubs will be Sept. 17 at Onia- fcatcd in 1954 and are expected to be tough in 1955. FEATUKE DAY Highlighting Ihe Hornet r.chedule will be the University of Minnesota (Duluth.

Branch) contest, which will be a fealufe of the annual Emporia Veterans Day festivities on Nov. 11. The Hornets will be after revenge from the Bulldogs, who eap- lured a 20-7 at Duluth last fall. The fact that Emporia Stale's President, Dr. John E.

King, was formerly provost of the Minnesota school gives added interest (o this clash. Members of the Central Intercollegiate Conference, the Emporia State gridders run off the wing-T formation. Caywood lost seven let- lermen from the squad that won two and lost seven lasl fall, but will have 17 returning. Emporia State Schedule The Eagles make Ihe first of Ihrcc jaunts into the Magnolia State Oct. to take on the remorseless Rebels of the University of Mississipppi at Oxford.

Two previous North Texas attempts to subdue Ole Miss have proved fruitless, but the Denlon lads found a somewhat dubious moral victory in being the only 1954 opponent capable of scoring more than one touchdown against Ihe nebs. That was last year's season opener in Memphis, with NTSC an the short end of a 35-12 score. This year Ihe slate university gridders will have to test ineir strength against Georgia and Ken- lucky before welcoming North Texas, to their campus for one of only two home games of the season. Coach John Vaught enters his ninth year as head coach wilh 20 of 36 lettermen from his Sus- ar Bowl team remaining. Of Shose 1C who moved on, 10 were listc.l as starters in New Orleans iasi January 1.

14 VETERANS And of the 20 initial winners coming only 14 are seasoned veterans. Thus experience in depth will be a key factor in early season combal. Eagle Coach Odus Mitchell can find little consolation in that problem, though, for Georgia and Ken- lucky ought to give'Vaught plenty of opportunity to bolster his weak spots. In (he words of Walter Stewart, Memphis Commercial Ap a 1 sports editor: "The nucleus is a healthy one and Ole Miss will present a tough chin to any barber. Defensively, the Rebs should, be several thick slabs better than adequate.

The balance, between the passing and running attacks is a comforlinj one, but the vital need is at ecu- and quarterback where Miss- ssippi needs Ihe typo which can set the team on fire." HARD TO CRACK Thai defense will be a one for North Texas to Last season Ihe Hebs ranked firs nationally in total defense--1723 yards per game, 90.1 by land an 82.2 by air. Only 47 points were given up in 10 games, of them being slml-outs, Ole Miss will field a veteran lineup at 10 of 11 positions. Pas that teahvVaught will lean just as heavily on five sophomores, all them in the line, and six letter men as members of the seconc club and a third-team array car rying the names of seven soplis That makes it a dozen sopho mores who must measure to South eastern Conference combat quaii fications if the ficbels are tc make substantial headway Ihi season. Vaught says "We must have 33 men ready and anxious lo play winning football, and mosl of ou second and third team position will be filled by inexperienced plaj ers. The successes we achieve thi.

seasoa will depend in large mea sure on the rapidity with whic the sophomores adjust themselve to SEC competition." SUMMARY In summary: Proven firstlin DATE Scpi. 17 Sept. 24 Oct. 8 Oct. Oct.
