Resurging Cowboys Clout Arizona Wildcats, 3 5-7 By JACK DURHAM REPORTER-NEWS SPORTS EDITOR A big and vicious Hardin-Simmons Cowboy eleven, strik ing with the speed and fury.of a Fatten Third Army tank corps, i roared back into the victory column at Fair Park stadium last night in vanquishing University of Arizona's Wildcats by 35 to 7 before a crowd of 6,500 home towners who gaped with awe at this new Cowboy power machine in its first appearance on home soil. The impressive Cowboy victory left little doubt but that the 1947 Cowboy possesses even greater qualities than Coach Warren Woodson's Alamo Bowl champions of last year, de spite a 19 to 12 loss to San Jose's Spartans in an intersectional clash last week that ended a Rancher victory string of 22 i.y'e games. The Cowboys shook loose two in their slashing ground attack that had Arizona tacklers grabbing in thin air. Wilton Davis, STORY IN FIGURES H-SU Al I( First Downs 365 Yds. Gained Rushing 31 Yds.

"That both may prove equally as dangerous to Hardin-Simmons' foes as the memorable Rudolph "Little Doc" Mobley was of little doubt in the minds of the 6,500 who gathered in the warm, October night air, expecting to witness a battle royal that turned into a near rout.

Virgil "Dugie" Turner, the Sweetwater law who claims the bruising all-professional Bulldog Turner, as his brother, let it be known that he is nearly equally as dangerous a runner as he rushed tpV the opening touchdown on the fourth play from scrimmage to the Cowboys out in front. Power and speed were the Cowboy trademarks employed to stun the fighting Wildcats from start to- finish. Wildcats, fearing Davis would pull one of Ms kickoff re; turn touchdown jaunts for which he is already known, kicked off to the side and End Bob McChesney was downed on the Cowboy 33. Harvey broke around right end for 12--yards to the 45 and. Davis, taking one the deadly shovel laterals from Johnson, raced for 19.

yards to the Arizona 36. Dugie Turner broke thru right guard and traveled 36-yards to pay dirt before somewhat amazed Wildcats Joiew what was happening. CATS STORM BACK (Arizona stormed back with offensive flash which appeared wpuld end only with a score as Hall got 15 yards on the first play frjbm scrimmage after the kickoff and Art Pollard picked up 14 more at right end, giving the visitors a first down on the Cowboy 24. But the Ranchers rared back on thj-ir haunches and dug in taking the ball on downs four plays later on their own 16. Johnson punted cm third down to Arizona's 34 and Pollard quick kicked over the HSU goal.

Late in the first quarter Arizona's Shanty Hogan fumbled the white leather on his 25 stripe but scramble the ball was knock 1 ed back to the Arizona 12 where the alert Davis pounced on it. In just four plays, after Davis, Turner and J6hnson got to the 3-yard stripe, Davis took a wide lateral from Johnson and flashed around left end for the touchdown. This same lateral, with Johnson flipping the ball wide to the runner, proved good for yardage against the visitors whenever it appeared. Coach Mike Casteel fired in an entire new eleven at this stage- but they too felt the sting of the Rancher attack early in the second stanza. After the Wildcats' Art Pollard had booted to midfield and a roughing penalty set the 'Pokes back another 15, the Hickory Street boys began to move again.

Turner, in; two tries, had a first on the 45 arid Davis, wiggling and squirming loose from tackier after tackier, picked up, 14 and a first down on the Arizona as the period ended. SCORE A A I Turner smashed for 10 as the second round opened, but another IScyard penalty set them back to the Arizona 46. Quarterback Al Johnson, the old reliable around whom, the Rancher attack functions, dropped back and lossed a pass to Bob McChesney, whose catch was of Ihe sensational nature, and Harvey, who was rushed in from the bench, put his heels to work for 10 at. left end, going to the 12. and big for the marker.

Moments later after the Cowboy: had recovered another Arizona fumble they were on the Wildca 8 stripe, but another holding penalty put a crimp in their touch down drive. The Arizonans surged back in the third frame to tally on a drive beginning on their own 47. Fre( Enke a substitute left hal who came in to share what Arizona offensive brilliancy there was with Fullback Charlie Hall, sparked the Wildcat scoring drive. He tossed one 17 yard pass, to Hall then hit End John Smith with a 11-yard toss, while lugging the hall for 5 himself on one try.2 Quarterback Shanty Hogan used the quarterback sneak-to go over from the two and Joe Goff added the point from placement. It was enough to arouse the Cowboy ire--already aflame over the San Jose loss.

The Cowpokes struck back after taking the short kickoff to the Wildcat 44. Davis squirmed for 12 at left end and Turner Troke loose at tackle again for 17 yards. Davis and Turner alternated in going to the 4, and the Austin freshman plugged over from there. The final Cowboy tally was the one that stole the show as it brought out beautiful blocking and teamwork with Harvey doing a brilliant piece of running. A GETS LOOSE Hardin-Simmons had stopped another Arizona threat on the nine yard line and iri an exchange of possession of the ball on the Arizona 45.

Ray Troutman lost a at tackle, then Harvey streaked around back beautifully right end, to his left with his mates surging in front of him in a blocking exhibition led by Co-Captain Bullet Cook, whizzed 46 yards'to the final stripe. Harvey shook off several tackier on his run, which had the pres box scouts scratching their'head after seeing Davis explode wit his speed earlier. "End Bob McChesney displaye one other great pass snagging ex hibition back in that second peripc a 22-yard heave from Johnson. Th big gold shirted eleven put it forward passing secrets on th shelf after the first two periods however, and did not take to th airways a-single time in the tjvo quarters. Big Tommy Proctor's toe ac counted for each and every on of the extra points in this conteS that saw the Cowboys make bu few mistakes and emerge as big ger threats than ever to marcl hack to that coveted Border Con ference crown.

The Maroons from the Old South ran the bulkier Dons dizzy with a devastating ground attack.

Graveley sped down the sidelines 23 yards after the catch to the McMurry 32 to set up Hardin's first half score. Jack Barry passed to Graeley for 20 yards to the 12 and after two plays lost two with Truman Nix slipping through to nail Williams for a loss on second down, Hardin's Jimmy Williams dropped back with beautiful protection to toss a 14-yard touchdown pass to Graeyley, who made a diving catch as he fell across the goal line.

Bobby Rogers' extra point try was blocked, and the clubs went to the showers five plays later for half time intermission. Hardin came back strong in the third period, driving 64. yards in 14 plays, including two important passes for 7 and one thirty yards to score the first time it got the ball. Joe Dean Tidwell, Hardin's powerful line-plunger drove over from the 2-yard line for the first of his two scores of the night. Rogers kicked the-first of his successful extra point attempts put Hardin into a 13-0 lead.

While the Cats were demobilizing the Buccaneers' offense the visitors accounted for tallies in the first and second halves. The clinching touchdown came in Ihe fourth quarter on Bill Carter's 5-yard run over left guard, the longest and most sensational play if the hard-fought Texas conference that saw nine penalties assessed.

Carter went over his own left guard on a quick opening play, sicked up three blockers, and using worked past mid-field where le found the sidelines and followed it to the goal.
