PACK TWELVE Tune In on KRBC THE ABILENE REPORTER-NEWS North Texas Rallies to Whip Hardin-Simmons 1-3 VERDICT GAINED ON DRIVE By HOWARD GREEN With Eugene Wood, a 181 pound triple threater from Marshall, supplying the wings, the North Texas Eagles swooped down on Parramore field last night to snatch a 7-3 decision from Hardin-Simmons and slap defeat on the Cowboys at home for the first time since the Centenary game of 1938. The setback spoiled the local debut for Warren Woodson, H-SU's new coach, who was presenting the Ranchers and their T-formation to the homefolks for the first time. If the defeat can be summed up in a nutshell, it would be like this: North Texas simply smothered the Cowboys' passing attack, blanketing H. C. Burrus.

But the memory that was printed indelibly in the minds of the 33,100 sweltering fans who jammed this' little park for Brooklyn's first series show in 21 years was the gallant fight of old Fred Fitzsimmons until line drive struck him on the left leg in the seventh inning and knocked him out of the ball game. The fat, 40-year-old knuckle ball expert who in his younger days as a star of the New York Giants was bealcn three times in world series contests, battled beautifully in a scoreless burling duel that Sam Houston had nothing In HIE way of the Owls and much of iLs trouble resulted from its habit of passing deep within its own territory.

State Yankees. XKW lh Xlj (usr.ir A rl Jl. Krhrr ir I rrnrh TOTALS lief pitcher Hugh Casey, Red Rolfc. I Tom Heurich, Joe DJMaggio and Charley Keller blasted four consecutive singles for two runs. Larry French, Brooklyn's only lefthander, then came in to make Bill Dickey ground into a double play and Johnny Allen pitched hitless ball in the final frame.

The Dodgers tried to recover the lost ground in their half of the eighth when Dixie Walker led off with a double in right center. Russo put his thumb down on the nest two batters, throwing out Mickey Owen and striking out pinchhitter Augie Galan, but Reese shot a sizzling single into the rightfield corner to score Walker. Then Russo made Pete Coscarart pop up in the Infield and the Dodgers' chance expired. Tne 27-year old southpaw star, who up on the streets of Brooklyn a became a great athlete for Long Island university, pitched magnificently all the way i i and allowed only four hits. He was a trifle wild at the start, but got steadier as he went along.

After walking one man in each of the first two innings he didn't give another pass during the rest of the game. COMIC HIT The only hit off him In the first six innings was comic. Joe Mtd- wick, a slugger of good repute, topped a curve and the ball rolled tantalitingly along the third base line while the Yankees hovered over it and watted for it to go foul. Instead ball stopped dead just inside fair territory about half way to third base and Med- wlck received credit lor a single. Tne other safety, in addition to the two that made the run in "the eighth, was a tremendous double by two-gun Pete Reiser against the centerfield wall at the start of the seventh.

But Russo was supreme, striking out Medwick and Dolph Camilli, the latter for the second ttme during the same. He also fanned Raiser to open the ninth and make a total of five strikeouts during the game, Fitzsimmons matched him in effectiveness as long as he was on the mound, although he gave up four hits during his term. HERMAN' IS HURT The toss of Fitzsimmons was not the only body blow suffered by the Dodgers, however, and possibly In the long run not even the most important.
