You might as well save (he bus fare and other expenses connected with the trip to San Marcos Baiui i You don't stand a chance of winning. We know whereof we speak for the latest dispatch from NIB Southwest Texas State citadel lists 10 Bobcats, including four starters, among the boys who are txpecteu to miss all or most of the contest with injuries. All That's injured Is Not Disabled Of course, we need only to look far back as last Saturday, wlwn East Texas' Sam McCord from his "tench of pain," threw off the effects of a torn shoulder muscle and pinched nerve snatched victory from almost tertain defeat for the Lions. Rut the examples arc numerous.

Coach Sam Baugh and his Hardin-Simmons Cowboys never want to play West Texas State: again when the Buffaloes have the flu. Last year, the mid-week releases had 21 Buffaloes laid low, by the flu. Perhaps Sammy should have! given some flu germs to his Cowboys, for while West Texas Coach Frank Kimbrough spent the afternoon in the hospital himself, his flu-billen Buffs Pokes, 39-13. walloped the But perhaps it was only poetic juslice. For back in 1955, Spoils Editor Don Oliver had to bow profusely low to H-SU Publicity Directcn George Hine for insinuating Mr.

Hine was taking advantage cfj the press to make the Pokes underdogs that ivcrii. On Monday! no less than 13 of the Pokes were on the injured list, 5'et that Saturday night at 1 Canyon, Kep Ford threw a touch-: down toss to halfback Joel Honeycult with less; than three minutes 1 remaining and the Cowboys de-i feated the-Buffs, 19-18. Even as veteran a coach as Dana X. Bible of lh Texas Longhoins has reason to shudder when talk reverts to "injured players." In 1946, the Unghorns had romped through lhe season undefeated and faced the Rice game ivilli no fears, especially after it became known that Wendell Williams (not to be confused with f'roggie, who was a freshman that year), the Owls' great pass catcher of the day, was injured and there was no hope of his he- ing ready for the Steers that Saturday. Maybe a new formation called the which Jess N'eely installed that year had something to do with the Unghorns losing an 1813 decision, but lhat didn't make Bible and his Austin crew forget lhat Wendell Williams caught the winning touchdown pass.

Nor is Blair Cherry likely to forget the "injured" Doak Walker who came off the bench in 1949 to boot (he extra point (hat gave SMU a 7-6 victory over Texas.
