SUNDAY AMERICAN-STATESMAN. AUSTIN, TEXAS. SEPTEMBER 25. 1938. For Delivery Service Telephone 4391 STEERS COUNT TWICE IN LAST QUARTER 10 TOP O' MORN- Dave O'Brien Hurls Frogs To 13 to 0 Victory Texas Discovers Good Short Pass Football Comes To Austin By WILBUR EVANS Faces Steers Saturday JTOOTBALL SEASON has been officially underway for several days now, but it hits Austin in full swing for the first time this coming week-end, when all three of Austin's leading football teams perform before the home folk.

We beg your pardon, Yearlings, in not including you in the list cf leading teams, for before the L.S.U. Upset 20-7 By Alert Ole Miss Squad By International News Service TIGER STADIUM, BATOX ROUGE, Sept. 24. In an amai-ing reversal of form, the Louisiana State Tigers, rated to have cn of the greatest gridiron aggregations in its history, fell 20 to 7 before an alert Ole Miss squad here Saturday night. Seemingly possessed with gfridiron talent by th score, the Tigers presented a disorganized unit, a Centenary Falls Victim to Aerial Genius of Mite Looney and Hall Take Passes for Gains Of 67 and 45 Yards aaanwanir- season ends you may be the lone' clib to which the locals will point with considerable pride.

Local football fanatics will see for tha first time Texas and St. Edward's elevens in action. They are undoubtedly bubbling over with curiosity to have a look at the Long-horn eleven which came within one point of erasing a 19-point half-time deficit in the opening game of the season Saturday with Kansas. Texas opponents for Austin's first collegiate game of the season will be L.S.C., a team that has two victories and one tie to show for its recent three-year campaigning with Texas. Bernie Moore has for the past few seasons produced one of the leading elevens in the nation, and TCU Cent.

Timers To Be Best Since '33 Club unit that never was awe to cope with the baffling aerial and run ning game displayed by the rebels, coached this year by Harry Meh-re, former mentor at Georgia. More than 25,000 fans were hardly adjusted to the battle when the Rebels uncorked an aerial that was good for a total of 51 yards with "Ham" Murphy taking in a heave from Parker Hall and racing tha remaining distance for score. At fighting pitch the Tigers struck back and then bogged down in the" very, shadow of the Ole Miss goal line. In the opening of the third quarter the Rebels struck again, this time when Hall received Bussey's punt on his own 48, reversed his field and streaked to the one-foot line.

In one play Hall plunged over with Whittington converting. A few minutes later an LSU fumble that was caught in midair by Bisbing resulted in the third Ole Miss touchdown. The Tigers were definitely aroused now and after an inter-ceptd pass gav them the ball on their 35 they mixed aerials with a strong running game to score, with Bussey going over from the one-yard line.

line, will make his first appearance against a Longhorn team here at Memorial stadium Saturday afternoon. Mancuso is a sophomore from Lake Offense at End Peterson, Lawson And Moers Account For Longhorn Points (Continued from page 1) pulled it in on the 15 and shot across the goal to leave Texas trail lng one point Sophomore Bob Evans went in to try for the all-important extra point but his kick was wide and the Longhorns had lost their first 1938 game lost it, however, in such a fashion to indicate they may not lose all their games this year. Bad Mistakes Costly, Several bad mistakes in the first half cost them touchdowns. In the second they uncovered the niftiest short-passing game a Texas team has boasted in several years. They passed the Jawhawkers jittery with a variety of shots, including a particularly effective shovel pass from Lawson or Gray to the halfbacks behind the line of scrimmage.

Acting Capt. Peterson topped off a 77-yard drive in the third quarter by nabbing Bryan's toss for 20 yards and the first Texas touchdown. More passes set up another touchdown in the fourth, with Lawson plowing center for the score, and passes swept the Longhorns down the field for Moers' sensational touchdown at the finish, Texas Completes 27 Passes Texas completed 27 of 46 passes for 241 yards, made 17 first downs to Kansas' nine and was fairly close in scrimmage gains, 174 to 215. But in the final analysis it was Texas pass that boomeranged and licked Dana Bible's Longhorns. It was a wild, wobbly pass heaved by Lawson in a moment of desperation late in the first period.

Trapped near midfield on a pass attempt. Lawson committed the error of throwing the ball instead of taking his loss. It carried to the Kansas 10 into the hands of Ralph Miller, the Chanute cyclone, and that brilliant Kansas sophomore galloped 90 yards for a touchdown that eventually was the difference. Kansas already had scored once on Miller's passes and runs, traveling 52 yards in all. The Jayhawkers scored again in the second period, mostly on Max Replogle's 42-yard blast to the one-yard line on whicn the entire Kansas student body appeared to be running interference for him.

Steers Look Lost The Longhorns, after a brief opening spurt which penetrated to the Kansas 10, looked lost in the first half. The Jayhawkers out- passed, out-ran, out-tackled, out-blocked them. The second half was an entirely different story. Stalwart defense that stopped the Kansas attack and enabled the Steers to keep the ball had much to do with Texas' last half success. Little Johnny Gill, a 160-pound line backer who hit big Kansas ball carriers like a sack of rocks, was one of the game's stars.

He was in there during most of that last quarter rally. Big Park Meyers, Don Williams, John Peterson and Ned McDonald, Mike Sweeney, Ted Dawson, Charley Naiser the Longhorn linemen rose up in wrath after their first half licking and badly outplayed the Jayhawkers. Miller Tough Customer Their good work, however, could not wipe out entirely the memory of Blipsljpd play in the first half. Their tackling waahigh and weak, their -blocking poor after theiirst 10 minutes. It must be admitted that Miller was a tough customer to down.

The hip-swinging, sharp-shooting sophomore, according to seasoned Kan-sans. is the best looking bit of baekfield machinery seen hereabout in many monns. The Longhorns won't doubt it Miller backed them up with passes and fooled them with fakes, and once started he ran like that other famous Kansan, Mr. O'Daniel. Bill Bunsen, an ox-like sophomore with great forward drive, was one of Miller's helpmates.

The Kansas tackles, Fred Bosilevac and Mike Siplanick, as well as the steady 200-pound guard Ferrel Anderson and the smashing center Charley Warren, were bad news throughout for the Texans. Texas started the game with a tremendous touchdownward drive that sent Lawson plunging and ripping through the dark blue Kansas line for consistent yardage. It began after an exchange of punts; on the Longhorn 40 Lawson was running low nnd hard through the holes Texas blockers tore out for him. He whirled 15 yards around right end on a fake kick, he alternated with Boyer and Bryan for another first down and with fourth down, and feet to go, he smashed to a first down on the Kansas 14. Texas Takes to Air Coach Lindsey rushed in some line substitutes who soldered the leaks and Texas took to the air.

Two passes to Peterson were complete but short and Miller toed the ball to midfield, Bryan took a nice gain when Amerine snatched the ball from him and Kansas started from there as a sprinter starts when, the gun pops. It was Miller to Hall, Miller to Amerine and Miller faking a pass and shooting off tackle for damaging yardage. The Longhorns stopped him on the 19, Peterson was giving Amerine and Miller plenty of trouble. It was fourth down, and Miller faded back. Big Park Myers rushed him, but came in high, intent on blocking Miller's pitch.

Fumbles Punt As he hit Miller slid away, shot straight through the middle, danced among the white jersies and was dragged down on the five. Thence he Hipped a pretty one to Dave this year Is not due to be an ex ception. The Longlforns will be a decided underdog, but that will cut little or no figure in the fans' interest. The Tigers have lost only five games of the 33 played during the past three seasons, and three of these losses were suffered in the Sugar Bowl. Their only regular season losses were at the hands of Rice and Vanderbilt, the one to the Owls in 1935 by a field goal margin and the other to Vanderbilt by the narrowest of margins, the failure to convert after touchdowns.

They were held to a tic once, and it was Texas that accomplished this feat here in 1936. As you re call, an attacic of fumbleitis cost the Tigers heavily on that occasion. and this season is not likely to be an exception, p.Hhough the Purple will be heavily favored because of a superior defense and decidedly more experiencis. The title-defending Rice Owls swing into action for the first time, acting as host to the O.U. team which upset the Owls by a 6-0 score last year, Ernie Lain was on the sideline when that happened, however.

But he'll be in there this season and therein lies the difference. The schedule for the remainder of the Southwest conference teams pits M. against Tulsa at Tyler, S. M. U.

against Arizona at Dallas, and Baylor against Oklahoma A. at Wichita Falls on Friday. As it looks now, none of these three conference teams should have much difficulty in winning; however, S. M. may need her injured men to turn back Arizona which finished strong last season.

Come Here Friday day to the title-defending Long-view team by a one touchdown margin. HERE'S A WARNING to the Austin Maroons: Friday night in Temple you were given a licking mainly through the efforts of Tom Pickett, a back who had been converted from a wingman. A few weeks hence you will be' meeting another such individual in Milton Grain, the star end of the 1937 Brackenridge team. Johnny Janes of the San Antonio Light tejls us that Crain has been a holy terror thus far. Tony Burger's Austin high team still has a few open dates that need filling.

Class and teams needing tgames are asked to contact Burger. Our apologies to William Comp-ton of Bastrop for giving another player credit for the good runs he turned in against Flatonia. Our correspondent regrets his error very much. Aggies Tromp On A. and 54- 0 Morton Uses 4 Teams In Game By the Associated Tress COLLEGE STATION, Sept.

Coach Homer Norton's Texas Ag gies were supplied with what it took Saturday to give the Texas A. Javelinas a lesson in offense on Kyle field here. The score was 52 to 0. Throwing no fewer than four complete teams into the fray. Nor-ton gave Southwest conference teams a warning he is supplied with sparkling reserve strength.

Aggie scoring was touched off in the first quarter when Dandy Dick Todd, the Aggies' candidate for all-American honors this year, swivel-hipped his way to a touchdown standing up. Todd received excellent blocking from James Thomason, Brownwood sophomore naitDacK. Walemon Cotton Price hurled snappy bullet and long accurate passes throughout the afternoon, accounting for the second Aggie touchdown by a heave to Britt in the second quarter. The Aggie line was charging so fiercely in the second quarter that Duncan and Dawson broke through to block a kick and Duncan covered for the score. Three tallies were counted in the third quarter, Capt.

Slick Rogers making two and Marion Pugh plunging for the other. Pittman and Pugh tallied on plunges in the fourth quarter. Points after touchdown were kicked by Todd, two, Herman and Wood. Starting lineups: Texas Aggies! Britt, I. Boyd.

A high-stepping sophomore baekfield paced by Roy Holbrook of Kerrville gave Southern Methodist an easy 34 to 7 victory Saturday over North Texas Teachers college of Denton.

A listless first half played under a blazing sun produced nothing but reliable line-play by a veteran forward wall bulwarked by another sophomore, towering Fred Harris of Garland. A new back-field, Sophomores Muellenwig, Gei-se, and Holbrook and Everheart, from last year's team, took less than three minutes to score in the third period. Dewell Scores Geise, fleet halfback, and Holbrook took the ball to the North Texas 10-yard line, whence Billy Dewell carried it across on an end-around play. George Sanders place-kicked extra point. A pass from Holbrook to Geise soon after put the ball on the Teachers' three and Geise scampered across on reverse.

Sanders' attempt to convert failed. At this point another highly-advertised sophomore, Ray Mallouf, went in for Everheart and promptly picked up 20 yards on two sweeping end plays. The ball was on the Teachers' three at the end of the third quarter. Pass Paves Way Southern Methodist failed to score on this threat but Johnny Clements soon passed 30 yards to Collins on the Denton four. Clements scored the touchdown on a line play and Belville converted.

Another pass, Clements to Bacus, brought the Mustangs' fourth touchdown and Belville's toe again was good. Everheart scored the final tally, racing 35 yards through a broken field, and Jackson converted. The Eagles came to life briefly in the last few minutes of play and scored on a pass from Riola to Payne from the Mustang 40. Ochea converted.

Arkansas university recoverea from their first-half jitters to score 27 points in the final half and defeated Oklahoma A. and M. here Saturday afternoon, 27 to 7.

Veteran Kay Eakin, leading the Razorback oflense, punted, passed and ran with the ball for the greater part of the ground gaining. A pass over the goal line from Cowling to Hancock produced the Aggie touchdown in the first half. Arkansas sophomores appeared nervous during the first half and dropped pass after pass which Eakin laid in their hands. Passes Click Passes began to click in the second half and Arkansas held possession of the ball practically all of the time. Hamberg, little junior quarterback, paced the drive for the first touchdown and personally took it over from the 2-yard line.

Coming back down the field to the 26-yard line, Eakin shot a pass to Hickey in the end zone for a second touchdown. This time the "point was made by Miller. Defense Cracks The rest of the ttyird period and the first of the last quarter found Arkansas making several unsuccessful forays deep into Aggie terri tory, finally the Cowboy defense cracked and Arkansas put over two more scores shortly before the game ended. Martin and Mosley aided Eakin in these drives spotted by the bullet passes of Eakin. Mosley scored from the six yard line and Eakin made the final marker from the one foot line.

An alert and powerful Minnesota team Saturday opened the 1938 football season with a rousing 15 to 0 victory over the highly-touted Washington Huskies. Playing heads-up football and capitalizing on every break, the Golden Gophers continued in their tradition of great Minnesota teams, scoring two touchdowns and a field goal to win going away.

Gophers Gain 245 Yards Minnesota made 11 first downs to eight for the Huskies, but those figures tell only a portion of the story.

McKNIGHT 1 Associated Press Sports Writer FORT WORTH, Sept. 24. Wee Davey O'Brien, Texas Christian's 150-pound thunderbolt, pitched a couple of poisonous passes one for 65 yards, the other for 47 that buried Centenary Gents, 13-0, in the Southwest's top grid curtain- raiser Saturday. Handcuffed by a strapping Centenary line that wouldn't budge in the clinches, it took O'Brien's aerial wizardry to "hit pay dirt. The little fellow started his barrage 10 minutes after a kick-off in heat that had lO.ono coat- less, uroppea aeep into ineir own territory by successive 15-yard penalties for holding and clipping, the Christians scored on a third down heave that O'Brien sailed 32 yards before rangy Don Looney, end, speared it on the Centenary Zi.

Only Weenie Bynum, the Gents' courageous halfback, stood between Looney and a touchdown and he sidesteDDed the Gent with a dean stop and shuffle tliat left him in the clear. O'Brien booted the extra point Sparks Rams Over Rested a few minutes while sec ond stringers worked the same pass magic but failed of a score from the 7 yard line after completing a 32 yard heave from Jack Odle, sophomore star, to Logan Ware, sophomore halfback, the regulars rumbled back into the game midway of the second period and scored again. Soon after a kick exchange O'Brien found himself at midfield and, waiting for his spot while the massive 210-pound line held out Gent interference, sent a "clothesline" heave to Johnny Hall that the halfback bagged 47 yards away on the Centenary 3 yard line. On the second try Connie Sparks, 200-pound sophomore fullback, burrowed through the middle for the score. O'Brien's attempt at conversion failed.

No farther than Texas Christian's 40-yard line did Centenary travel against the invincible Horned Frog line led by the roving Ki Aldrich, a defensive marvel at Center. It was almost useless trying to punch through Aldrich, Forrest Kline, I. B. Hale, the 250-pound tackle, and the rest of the wall. Gent Line Tough The Christians found the going tough through the Gent line and had to complete 13 of 26 passes for 259 yards to move around.

Only 91 yards was picked up on the ground, Johnny Hall, left half, and O'Brien, gaining most of it. The Gents tried repeatedly with Bynum as their spearhead to puncji the Christian line but gained only 121 yards and three first downs on combined aerial and ground plays. The Christians missed many passes mainly because Ouzts, a raging Gent end, was smothering O'Brien into hurried throws. Hot weather slowed down both clubs. Fumbling marred advances in tight spots on several occasions.

O'Brien uncurled another long pass a 34 yarder to Spud Taylor, that carried to the Centenary 9 yard line as the game ended.

Second Stringers Go In The second quarter was played largely by second stripg teams and was without event until late when Max Replogle broke away from midfield, got behind a phlanx of Kansas blockers and hoofed it for the red flag in the southwest cor ner. Bryan barely nipped him on the one yard line. The Longhorn first string rushed back in on the second play but Hall busted over center for Kansas third touchdown. Little Chester Gibbens, Jayhawkers drop-kicked specialist, kicked the extra point and Kansas led 19-0 as the half ended. 10,000 Turn Out And that was the situation when the Longhorns stampeded back via the air lanes for as courageous and thrilling a finish as a Texas team ever made a finish whose ultimate failure marred but did not obscure its sensationalism.

The 10,000 fans who were out this hot Kansas day went home happy but still for their team was away to a fine start by the narrow margin of an extra point booted by a little sophomore substitute. For the Longhorns, it was the beginning of a long, rather gloomv trip over the rolling hills of Kansas and Oklahoma to Austin, where they will meet Louisiana State's great team next Saturday.
