winds it up at the Eagle After eight and one half years as sports editor here' truly is enter ing another field I plan to continue in a form of newspa per work but it will not be sports reporting Sports writing kinda gets in your blood after that long and you watch the youngsters grow and improve In fact a member of the Bryan Broncos said riday night be fore the game with the University Trojans of Waco one is for you That brought a big luipp in my throat and 1 just had to get out of the dressing room It makes you feel pretty good to know the boys really do think that much of you rom the financial viewpoint way at 2:30 Many out of town though this other deal is much better To my successor goes the best drivers as well as the local crew will be competing for top money luck in the world Aggies Easily Combine Timely Passes Bruising Ground Game LINCOLN Neb Oct 8 in Texas mixed a sprinkling of timely passes with a bruising ground game today to smother Nebraska 27 0 in an intersec tional football game played be fore a stadium bulging crowd of nearly 40000 After a couple of false starts early in the contest the Texas Aggies poured on the heat in a three touchdown second quar ter then added a good measure tally with 15 seconds of game time remaining The win gave the Aggies of the Southw'est Conference a three won one lost record for the season and avenged a 13 0 loss the Aggies suffered in their only prior meeting with Ne braska 5 years Nebraska now holds a 1 3 record for the year A recovered fumble and an intercepted pass set up the first two of three Aggie touchdowns after their attack had bogged down twice in the first quarter Tackle Bob Clennenden grab bed a Nebraska fumble late the first quarter on 31 and quarterback Donald Grant made the 69 yard drive good with a one yard plunge ullback George Gillar made As a final prediction I say Jim Tatum successful coach at Maryland will be the next head coach of the University of Texas Longhorns and will take over shortly after the end of this sea son no disgrace to lose to Ponies inally Win One Irish Blank Out Miami a one man show of the second Aggie tally by intercepting a Nebraska pass One Tirst down later he found a hole in the left side of the line and raced 26 yards to score standing up An 87 yard drive went into touchdown No 3 scored with Coach Bud Soon ers but the University of Texas exes are tired of losing after having enjoyed so many suc cessful seasons and the fourth straight loss to Oklahoma Sat urday means there will be some changes made at orty Acres As most of you know Coach Ed Price of the Longhorns was almost replaced last year and the win oVer Texas Thanksgiving Day is probably the only thing that saved him He was expected to come up with a top notch ball club this season however and was given another chance But the Steers lost their op ener to Texas Tech the team TCU slaughtered 26 0 edged Tulane but look too good in doing so and have now lost to Southern Cal and Oklahoma in tnetr last two outings bong horn exes say time for a change In fact it is understood that Longhorn exes wanted eitherRed Sanders of UCLA Wilkin 'sorot Oklahoma or Tatunr and both Sanders and Wilkinson have turned down the offer Tatum reportedly is very in terested and is ready to sign a contract as soon as the scason is over The Longhorns of course will not begin conference play until next week and some may change their mind if Texas fin ishes high in the championship race but we believe they will finish close to the top and even if they do we still believe Trice is out and Tatum is in truly was the first to break the story on Bear Bryant meeting with members of the A A board of dir ec tors in Dal las and accepting the job at Aggieland This is also believed to be the first leak on the Ta tum story at Texas Mark it down and you shall see According to an Associated Press release the Texas Tech situation will come up again at the winter meeting of the Southwest Conference and the Red Raiders may be voted in this time The same story said the University of Houston and Oklahoma would not be voted on however Houston 'hurt itself consider ably last week at Kyle' ield against the Aggies with its type oi playing and poor sportsman rhip Unless this is changed they will never be admitted to the SWC The Bryan Broncos showed an improvement in their offense riday night and may make it rough on District 5 AAA oppo bents The defense has sparkled all season but the offense left much to be desired If they con tinue to improve the offensive attack could very easily remain undefeated nt i throughout the season Stock egr races will be st Bryan Speedway again this rfternoon and will get under DALLAS Southern Meth odist which wallowed in de spair after two straight lickings turned loose Charley Jackson a hurrying sophomore on the Missouri Tigers riday night and hit the victory trail 13 6 The young man from Paris Tex had quite an evening catching a 39 yard touchdown pass to shove SMU ahead and then putting on the clincher with a 40 yard scoring sprint He also had 55 yards rushing and that made him the game's leading ground gainer Southern Methodist found Missouri a three time loser more than troublesome and its Dave Doane had the Methodists backed against the ropes re peatedly with his mighty pass ing Doane threw 22 and com pleted 14 for a tremendous 170 yards The combination of Doane to Lanky Harold Burnine was one of the most dangerous passing attacks the Methodists ever ran up against Burnine took eight throws for 114 yards but never did score Instead it was a pass from the Methodist one to big Carl Wynn that brought the Missouri touchdown and gave the Tigers a brief 6 0 lead in the second period SMU cashed in on a break for its first score Doane had thrown a strike to Wynn on the SMU 40 yard line but the ball squirt ed out of the hands Tommy Beal Southern Method ist tackle caught it in the air and rumbled down to the Mis souri 40 John Roach the clever SMU quarterback who was the best around player field passed tp end Boyd Waggoner on the Tiger 30 A clipping pen alty set SMU back but Roach picked up six with an end run then flipped into the end zone where Jackson had sped Beal kicked the extra point and SMU was ahead to stay Missouri wasn't how ever and with Doane doing the throwing and Burnine the re ceiving twice marched deep into Methodist territory But the tide turned in the last period as the well condi tioned Methodists began to wear the Tigers down Roach ran a Missouri punt back to the Tiger 40 and that set the stage for Jackson to storm over tackle and hang up the second Meth odist touchdown Roach piloting SMU with astuteness also almost equalled Doane in passing The tall Methodist quarterback connect ed on eight out of 17 for 159 yards i A crowd of 25000 well under expectations turned out for home opener TENNESSEE WINS 13 0 KNOXVILLE Tenn Oct 8 once mighty wqtball forces downed Chatta nooga 13 0 today to snap a six Igame losing streak MIAMI la was a typical Notre Dame team They scored twice on fourth down passes what I call com ing through in the clutch" This was the comment of Miami's downhearted football coach Andy Gustafson after his Huricarnes had fallen before the fighting Irish riday night 14 0 It was a game for which Gustafson had pointed his forces for two years When Notre Dame get the job done on the ground the Irish took to the air for the first time this season and big Paul Hornung got them their 11th straight victory with touch down throws of 11 yards to Eu gene Kapish and 32 yards at Aubrey Lewis An alert defense stifled every threat by hard pressing attackers who drove inside the Irish 15 yard line on four occa sions and once fell just two yards short of storing the first touchdown against Notre Dame MIAMI BEACH GROUP GOING ATER TIGERS MIAMI BEACH la Oct 8 Ifl Harry Levy an insurance man here said today he and a group of associates are ready
