Baylor wilver-sity Bears took a slow game from the Simmons university Cowboys here Saturday, 21 to 0, making their rcores on two long passes and a 41-yard run by Thornton-Baylor scored early in the first quarter on a long heave from Joe Jack Pearce to Jim Tom Petty who stepped across the goal. Stringer made the extra point from placement. The same combination accounted for the second touchdown a few minutes later after Carl Pee, Simmon backfield ace, fumbled on his 31-yard line. In the second, the Cowboys suffered a bad break. Carl Pee tossed a beautiful pass to Winter who ran 30 yards across the last line, but the Simmons team was offside and the play was called back.

Rosner Girls Schedule Game With San Antonio Rosner glrlfl. lat year's state playground champions, will meet the Red A White girls of San Antonio at Rlvarside Psrk Pundiv at 3 p. m. The Red and White girls team is composed of former Joske players, who won the state girls' playground baseball crown this year.

An admission fee sf 15 cent will be charged. Miss May jShernwn, manaser of the Runner girls said. Among the outstanding piavers nn thp Atlctfn fpan-i oris Lucille Miller. Velma Harrell. Phne- I Moore snd May Sherman.

Miss I. Tlarrell probably will gain the pitch- ii ing nod, cMCl squad to be on edge Saturday risht. Some loyal St. Edward's supporters, howevor, began putting the cross-word puzzle together, piece by piece. First, their minds reveted to the previous week-end.

They recalled that Daniel Baker and Austin college were scheduled to meet at BrOwr.wood Friday niaht -the same night the Tigers were scheduled to meet the Southwestern Pirates Georgetown but instead postponed the game and attended the Pirate-Tiger game. Naturally, when the Tiger adherents learned of the sudden switch of dates by the Daniel Baker ag- nMaHnn tVaV ViACftTYl. SlIKnl loilfl. Could it be possible there was a conspiracy aroot to "sup up on the championship-bound Tigers? they mused. Certainly there hid been strange goings-on, they concluded.

they nearly lost their sense of direction. A couple of these penalties deprived the Tigers of as many touchdowns. Never before have we heard of a head ecach officiating in a conference game in which his foremost rival team was a participant. Now it sems there's only one other -vav the other Texas conference elevens can stop the Tiger. That is with the aid of a couple armored tanks and a steam roller for good measure.

Next for Steers the critics shift their eyebrows somewhat by extending the Methodists to the veT limit. In the game It was discovered the Owls had one of the best lines in the conference, featuring Lagow and Lauterbach, twe of the greatest linemen in the loon. While the Rice offeree was nothing to be excited about, it did flash a danqerous passing attack that sent the cold creeps up and down the Mustangs' spines. to Take Owls The Tigers have won their first three conference starts, defeatinp Simmons, 13-0; Southwestern, 18-0, and Daniel Baker. 31-0.

Unless the St. Edward's flashy crew lets down, It is doped to take the Kangaroos to a neat licking. Any football team, however, which has been traveling at the pace the TUA a 1 .1 Itlrtrn thS Sea- i(rio no'o son onened sooner or later mav be expected to have a "jet down. Ana we wouldn't be surprised to see the Tigers experience such a night hert Irtdav. Eut even at tnat, ve Denevo the Tigers can be off color considerably and still take the Kangaroos.

District Chase Reports from San Antonio hi ThAmi, has i veungr and inexperienced team on order of the Marons. The Brackenridge Eagles, doped be the district's best team will meet the Maroons here Nov. 10. This contest may determine! the district championship. Cantwell Is quoted as saying In his argument to explode the theory that Camera's 285 pounds will prove too much for Baer'a mere 210.

"Baer Is fast so fast Camera never will land one of those slow blows of his, and it has been proved that he has a fighting heart. "History will repeat Itself In the Baer-Oarnera fight Just as It did when Jack Blackburn, 135 pounder, licked the great Sam Langford, who outweighed him 20 pounds; when Corbett licked John L. Sullivan) when Tommy Rryan, 148, beat men weighing 160, 170 and 180 pounds. tion of a second faster than that of Primo. That means more blows ar.d more damage particularly In close.

"There never haa been a case in fighting where a very fast, smaller man couldn't lick a bigger, slower fighter." Incidentally, Jack Dempsey promised to bring Baer down this way during the winter to meet the best heavyweight available in this section. This would be a aood chance for either The Austin Arena, new local promoters, who will erect modern arena here In November at 2nd and Colorado streets, or Jesse Wilson to bring Baer and say Babe Hunt of Oklahoma together That pair would probably put on a great show, which would be sure to attract a large house. May Sherman, won the girls' state playground championship In 1932. The Red and White girls are the former Josks team which captured the stste prize this year. Thus local baseball fan will have the opportunity of watching the best feminine talent in the state in action.

And the ao'mission will be only 15 cents. squad out of town for good workouts. In fact, all he has to Co Is to Iad 'em out to St. Edward's, where Coach Jock Chevigny has the like-liesf-looking bunch of newcomers you ever laid your optics on. We understand the Texas freshmen tangled with the baby Tigers a few weeks ago, the Shorthorns winning by one point.

This would indicate that the Lbnghorn varsity is in for a stiff season opener next year, when they are scheduled to make their debut against what many critics believe will be the greatest Tiger eleven to appear to represent the Hilltop school. Fumbles Mar Game; Pass Interceptions Stop Drives (Continued from page 1) Capt. Manning Smith, Harold Os-lin and Paul Geisler easily captured offensive honors for Centenary. Phil Sanger, end, for the second consecutive week-end played a spectacular defensive game for Texas, to gain the lion's share of the honors in that department. The sturdy, dark haired lad was all over the field, recovering fumbles and Intercepting passes.

He gained the plaudits of a crowd of 10,000, probably the largest ever to witness a football game in San Antonio. Jack Gray, end, Charles Coates, at tackle, and Capt. Bill Smith were the other scintillating defensive stars for the Longhorns. Geisler, Morgan and Waters starred on the defense for Centenary.

After Prebisch had hit center for seven, Fagan fumbled a bad pass from center and Morgan recovered for Centenary in midfield. Capt. Manning Smith then hit center for 20. After the Texas line held Oslln hit the line for a first down and Smith faked a pass to plunge through center for 12. Smith then tossed a along pass that trickled off the ends of Geisler's fingers across the Texas goal line, and the ball went over to Texas as the period ended.

After an exchange of punts, Manning Smith went off right tackle for 20 and Smith passed' to Geisler for 35, placing the ball on Texas' 16. Smith passed again to Geisler, who was downed on the Texas one-yard line. An off-side penalty set the ball back and then Oslin fumbled, Sanger recovering for Texas on the seven-yard stripe. Near the end of the second period, Sanger blocked Manning Smith's kick and recovered for Texas on Centenary's 18-yard line. Sanger ten attempted to kick a field goal but the ball went wide as the half ended.

The Longhorns took command at the start of the second half, Hadlock returned Smith's punt 82 yards placing the ball on Centenary's 27 yard line. But Waters Intercepted Hadlock' pass on the Gents 25 yard line. After an exchange of punts, Johnston opened a passing attack which advanced the ball to the Gents' S3-yard line. Hadlock then went off center for 12 yards and Johnson on a cut back, reversed his field and raced around right end for 17 yards, placing the ball one yard from the Centenary goal. After Laurence Hadlock and Johnson had failed at the line, Texas was penalized 15 yards for holding and lost another glorious chance to acore.

Fagan's pass was Incomplete on the fourth down. The Steers Increased the pressure in the fourth when Johnson's aerial heaves, together with Hadlock's and Jurecka's running plays on the Gents' 85 yard line. Then Fagan went In for Johnston. A beautiful forward pass behind the line of scrimmage, Fagan to Jurecka, good for JO yards, placed the ball on Centenary's 24 yard line. Another pass, Fagan to Sanger, placed the ball on the 12 yard stripe and Jurecka went off right tackle for six yards.
