In its adult status as reached in 1930, has been full of sound and fury, signifying a genuine grudge. Most irksome to Texas adherents has been the fact that Rice had the Longhorns distinctly outmanned only in '35, '37 and '39. Five times in il years Owl victories have come in the familiar guise of upsets, p.

21. (UP) Fullback Bob Brumley, key ball-handler in the Rice offense, apparently was recovering Tuesday from his shoulder injury and probably will play against Texas in Austin Saturday. Capt. Buck Sloan, center, was held out of practice because of a back injury suffered in the Louisiana State game, but he was expected to be in uniform Saturday. Harold Slockbridge and Dick Dwelle, backs, limped from minor ankle sprains.

Matty Bell Plans To Scout Longhorns DALLAS, Oct. 21. (UP) Free of injuries, the Southern Methodist university Mustangs Tuesday took advantage of their open date this week-end to work out only lightly. Coach Matty Bell plans to scout Texas personally this Saturday at Austin. The Longhorns are the first of S.

This sets an attractive stage (they aver) for the Steer-Bird festivities coming up here Saturday. That is all well and good, but we gray-beards around here can muster up other and earlier incriminating evidence against the Bayou Birds.

Is it so soon forgotten that Rice deprived Texas of an undefeated season in '30 by winning 6-0 at Houston an utterly surprising occurrence? Or that the following autumn, in Austin, just when the Longhorns were going to pluck out every Owl feather one at a time in blissful revenge, the Feathered Flock did it again, 7-0? This meaning that two of Texas' greatest backfield heroes, Harrison Stafford and Ernie Koy, and other famous operatives like Ox Blanton and Cheesy Cook had the pleasure of playing in only one winning game against Rice? It is sadly true that the Owls have won six of the last seven from Texas, but equally true and equally melancholy is the fact that they have won eight of the last 11. Here is another one to run over on your clavichord: Counting in the (last) championship year of 1930, Texas' 11-year percentages against its next two conference opponents, Rice and S.

R9, 89, Oklahoma DALLAS, Oct. 21. (AP) The University of Texas is a top team of the nation's football because it doesn't have to the percentages. Texas Christian university, Baylor and Rice can give you all the details. They're limping examples of what happens to a team when it has to build around one man.

T. C. hopes centered on Kyle Gillespie, the life blood of an offense Frog fans felt would go far. Baylor's fortunes revolved around Big Jack Wilson, probably the most versatile football player in its history. Rice followed the pounding feet of the mighty Bob Brumley, who did everything but sell peanuts in the stands.

Injuries Strike So what happened? The percentage finally ran out. Gillespie received a broken leg, the T. C. U. offense folded and Texas A.

M. defeated the Frogs 14-0 going away. Wilson suffered a head injury against Villanova and had to leave the game in the first quarter. The Bears lost 14-6. Brumley, who beat mighty Tulane almost single-handed, was unable to play for Rice Saturday against Louisiana State because of a shoulder hurt.

Dana Bible is prodding them in sore places about mistakes made last Saturday against Arkansas. They're remembering (and being reminded) of last year's desolate affair at Houston, when the Owls roundly whipped them 13-0. A victory would enable them to march up to the crucial S.

M. U. game undefeated for the first time in 12 years. (That's right, folks last time was '29.) If the boys are ever going to be ready for a football game, they ought to be ready Saturday. They should be in the mood io scatter Rice like a bunch of drunks at a wedding.

Capt. Peter John Layden was tossing a few easy ones Monday. It seems pretty definite that Mgr. Bible will start him on' the mound agairfet the Owls. Good Business Aftermath of Layden's trip to a Gonzales masseuse, Mrs.

THE TEXAS-RICE game is usually good for a good argument. Most serious of these followed the '37 contest here, which was decided for Rice, 14-7, on Frank Steen's "catch" of Ernie Lain's piiss in the end zone.

There was a wide and vigorous divergence of opinion as to whether Steen caught it on the fly or the first bounce. Holding to the latter theory were the Texas players and the Texas customers. Equally positive in favor of the former were the Rice players, the Rice fans and the officials. This last-named group cast the deciding ballot. But the aftermath was loud and long, and the discussion still is renewed at the slightest provocation.

The game before that was a great little fuss-maker, too. Texas was penalized 135 yards and almost directly lost the game thereby, 0-7. Houston papers bitterly assailed the Longhorns for "dirty play," naming names. Austin papers responded in kind. Out of this game and the '37 Texas-Rice quarrel came most of the impetus for a revised officiating setup in the Southwest conference a move that has improved the officiating at least 50 per cent and eliminated most of the controversial angles.

GOING BACK to '35, that 28-19 Rice victory here developed some of the roughest play ever seen in the Southwest. The fact that that game got out of hand perhaps helped bring on the rash of penalties that plagued Texas at Houston in '3fi, but that is neither here nor there. 0 Rice 86. il kl Yale 86. 2 Kentucky 86 I Penn State 86.

In the first game this year the team bowed to little Westminster and then to Muhlenberg. Next on schedule were the mighty Irish, who rolled over the Tartans last year 61-0, and gloom was so thick there were rumors of a student strike against such an uneven match. But after the visitors were held to 16-0 count the picture changed in a jiffy. Explained Charles Richardson, president of the student council: "The rally is intended not only to raise cash as an immediate indication that students are deeply interested in the success of their team but also to prod the alumni." PITTSBURGH, Oct. 21.

(AP) Tuesday was tag day at Carnegie Tech with the Tartan football team as beneficiary. The gallant stand of the weary Tartans last Saturday apparently the spark which stung undergraduates into sudden action, causing them to call out the famed student Kiltie band with glamorous cheer leaders and go to work for dear old Tech. The immediate goal is $1,000 cash to be taken from the campus starting with mass meeting Tuesday and four or five times that much to be raised later from alumni and friends. The students want the money to assure tuition for grid prospects, so, as one said, "we can have four or five good men who can just take awav time from work to play football." Only three years ago Tech was 79 Maryland 85, 80 Florida 85, 81 Xavier 85 Seventh at Congress And all this happened on one week-end, bringing death to T. C.

hopes of again basking in the Southwest conference sun and inflicting upon the conference more intersectional defeats than suffered in all three previous weeks combined. Texas didn't have to worry about percentages. Pete Layden, great fullback, was on the shelf with an injured elbow, but Texas still had Jack Crain. So Pete wasn't missed as the Longhorns crushed Arkansas 48-14. Southern Methodist is another one-man gang.

The Mustangs were particularly vulnerable to this brand of boot because of their unorthodox defensive formation, which was virtually an eight-three.

Although it stymied Austin's running game, it was rather easy to pass against as Mun-son demonstrated. Evidently the theory was to shoot seven men through after the passer and defend with four. It did work to this extent: Munson had to hurry a lot of his throws and did not have an impressive record of completions. But he' got enough of them off in Joe Bill Baumgardner's direction to make it a 33-7 breeze. It was a physical impossibility for one little Jefferson back to cover Baumgardner.

He caught passes that the Mustangs Knew were coming, right where they thought he'd be. The long-legged blond wing-back caught two passes for touchdowns, another on a one-yard line dive and still another that he carried over, only to have the play wiped out by a penalty. Throw in an 86-yard punt return, and it figured up to a big night for him. Coming Up Baumgardner has another year of eligibility; so do most of the other prominent Maroons excepting Munson, Jack Allison, Hugh Harkins and Ed Mc-Cabe. Terrell Allen, a vastly improved player, should be a real standout next year.

Young Bobby Lee has class stamped all over him. Johnny Keel is sending up a good batch of teamers, better than the that forms most of the present Maroon squad. Kids like Robin Forester at University high, Frank Rundell at Allan and Curtis Brownlee of the Freshmen may be ready for the big-time next autumn. In a recent game (San Marcos B) Forester carried the ball six times, made five touchdowns. In another game, we are told, he carried three times and made two touchdowns.

Wonder what was the matter those other two times? It looks good in the future for Austin high football, with four "feeder" teams sending up a steady flow of not-so-raw material. For that matter, what's wrong with the present team? It's between Austin and Brackenridge for the dis 11.. vn i ever the Texas favorite! Lovera's uniform mildness helps set you straight on any job.
