That was the only game that i ht vears the pre season favored Panthers lost as Coach Ted Dawson bowec out with a 9-1 record.

By BUDDY BECK HARDIN-SIMMONS COULD almost qualify for membership in the Missouri Valley Conference in the first month of the coming football season. The Cowboys will take on three members of the MVC--Tulsa, Wichita and North Texas--on the first third and fourth Saturdays of the campaign.

Only the Pokes' Sept. 22 battle with McMurry breaks up their MVC schedule. Cowboys Face Three MVC Teams The fourth MVC school thai plays for the league's football championship, Cincinnati, hasn't scheduled the Cowboys since 1960. Wichita will be an exceptionally tough opponent for the victory-hungry Cowboys. The Shockers are (he reigning MVC cham pions and may be the best team in the Midwest outside the Big Eight and Big Ten conferences.

Hardin Simmons has beaten Wichita four of the five times the two schools have met. But the four Cowboy victories came between 1948 and 1958 when they were living in better times. Wich ita's long victory in the series was a 27-13 triumph the last time the two met in 1959. Wichita has won the MVC crown the past two seasons and is dominating the league like Tulsa did in the Forties and Houston in the Mid-fifties. Eighteen of Wichita's top 22 players that participated on the Shocker's MVC championship and Sun Bowl team last year will be around to meet the Cowboys Sept.

29. But, it's first things first for Hardin-Simmons. And that means the Tulsa Hurricane on Sept. 15. Tulsa will have 20 returning lettermen back and has added 17 junior college transfers.

Glenn Dobbs will try awful hard to open his second season as head coach with a victory. The Hurricane beat only H-SU and Cincinnati last year but held Arkansas (64), Wichita (9-7) and Houston (14-2) to narrow decisions. Dobbs will try out the pro-type single wing this year. Dobbs says his fellow coaches tell him his new offense is the Texas flip- flop. "All I know," Dobbs replies, is it's the same one I ran for Henry Frnka at Tulsa in 1942." The nearest H-SU has come to winning a game in its past 22 tries was against North Texas in Abilene last fall.

And when the Cowboys get their third and final try at a MVC school at Denton Oct. 6, they will probably have their best chance again. North Texas has lost nine of 11 1961 starters. The Eagles may not be able to duplicate or better their 1961 record of 5-4-1. The bright spot for the Eagles and veteran Coach Odus Mitchell is the presence of halfback Bobby Smith.

Smith, a 9.6 sprinter, was All-Conference as a sophomore last year. Twenty five of the 44 boys isted on the H-SU roster are from outside Texas. Mississippi leads out-of-state list with eight and seven come from Florida. New Mexico and Ohio are represented twice on the squad. Six states wiUi one player each are Alabama, Vermont, Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois and Massachusetts.

Big Buckeyes Have 3 Objective for 1962 Season COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) Ohio 1 State's big, bruising Bucks could make the experts look pretty good this fall.

Most of the crystal ball gazers figure Woody Hayes' powerhouse should dominate the Big Ten, grab the Rose Bowl invitation it declined last year, and put in a powerful bid for the national No. ranking. Favored by a flock of top talent and a schedule with not too many rough spots, the Bucks could do all three.

(AP) Billy Maxwell's straight shooting golf brought him first money in the $35,000 Dallas Open Monday and set his sights on a jackpot In the west--the $20,000 bonus tournaments at Denver, Seattle, Portland, Las Vegas and Bakersfield. Quite heartening was the red- haired Texan's first tournament victory in a year. He had been one of the most consistent money- winners, finishing in the cash 22 times in 27 tournaments. But that first place eluded him until he started his down the middle, sharp driving, excellent putting over the Oak Cliff Country Club course. Maxwell was leading by four strokes opening the final round.

He jumped out to a 1-under-par 32 on the front nine to beat off self in bad with television radio all challengers, then came in with and the press for refusing to be conservative, methodical play to post a 1-over-par 71 that gave him 277 for 72 holes.

Maxwell said he was pretty shaky at the start although he never gave that appearance.

"I was leading the i am Beach Open in 1956 by five strokes and blew it." Maxwell said. "I kept thinking about that. That's the reason 1 wouldn't come to the press room after finishing the third round here. I was afraid of a jinx if 1 talked about it with the press."

"We'll wish at times that we had Ferguson back," Hayes "for he's the best fullback the Big Ten has had in 20 years. But we have the best set of seniors we've ever had.

We're in great shape so far as eligibility is concerned, and as a rule we have fewer injuries than any team in league. I figure we'll be in first division." The schedule figures it that way, too.
