So far as is known, all Class A games are to be played on a 50-50 basis, so far as gate receipts are concerned. That means, when you attend a A game you are helping the athletic fund of two schools, not the home team. Fur instance, if you live in Weslaco, and Weslaco is playing at McAllen, your attendance at the game will give the Weslaco school tin1 same amount ol money as is retained at McAllen. Whether this same system applies to Class schools, we do not know. We hope it does for it is a fine idea, even if it doesn't, support the game anyway.

Gophers Defeat Huskies 14 To 7 SEATTLE. University of Minnesota opened its 1936 football season Saturday by smashing the touted University of Washington huskies 14 to 7. The triumph started on their way toward tional championship, protected their undefeated record of three successive years. The big intersectional battle Saturday was a toss-up until the final period when, the Minnesota warriors. making their own breaks, and taking advantage of them, put over the winning touchdown on a perfectly executed pass.

BATON ROUGE. Displaying an alert, hard charging team, Louisiana State University got off to a flying season start Sat- urda ynight by whipping the Rice Owls 20 to 7 before a crowd of 25.000. The victory eased the memory of the 10 to 7 setback the Owls handed the Louisianians in the, opening game last year, the only defeat State suffered in the 1935 regular season. Rice, up against a heavier and more powerful team, made a spirited showing, but was backed up in its territory most of the time and rarely threatened. Both teams scored in the initial period.

Louisiana State broke the ce first when Reed raced 65 yards for a touchdown. Crass converted from placement. Two minutes later Rohm fumbled on the L. S. U.

Three fleet little backs, Manning, Bob Nesrsta and Dick Todd reeled off long gains to dem- I onstrate the Aggies' superiority without a doubt. Nesrsta returned the opening kick-off in the second half 78 yards for a touchdown; Manning sped 33 and 36 yards for two touchdowns and Todd galloped 29 for another. I The Bearkats were virtually powerless until the last minute of the game when an Aggie defensive played tipped Bob Quinn's 26-yard pass into the hands of halfback Stockton in midfield. He raced 50 yards for a touchdown. Joe Routt, Walt Phythian and Virgil Jones, guards, stood out in the most consistent per- the eBarkats most consistent per: former.

The Aggies made 16 first downs to the Bearkat's two and gained a net of 359 yards from scrimmage to Sam 94. Nearly four complete Aggie teams saw action. Manning's long touchdown sprints in the first quarter opened the scoring. In the second. Todd sliced through center and cut to the left for his 29 yard pay-off jaunt.

Morrow converted for the first time in three trials. 78 yard kickoff return, with Pitner converting, opened the third and later in the same period Todd started another drive with a 26 yard gallop around left end and ended it with a six yard drive for a tally. Stages converted. Manning started the final scoring drive late in the fourth with a 42 yard punt return to Sam ten. A little later, rsta plunged over five for the count.

70 yards in the third period to score a touchdown and chalk up a stunning, 7 to 0, upset over the Horned Frogs of Texas Christian University of Fort Worth. En Neill, whose punting and passing, kept the Frogs in a constant turmoil, knifed his seven yards to cross the goal line and climax a spirited march from 30-yard marker. Tech earned her victory on a soggy field made slippery by an all-dav drizzle, however, no rain fell during the game and over 12,000 wildly cheering fans whooped it up generally as the Raiders carried the fight to the Frogs and won the game with a daring display of sheer nerve and determination. Hemsel, a sub, was rushed into the game following the Tech score for the sole purpose of kicking the extra noint. Hemsel did his appointed task well, the ball sailing squarely behind the uprights.

With the wind to their backs in the fourth period, the Frogs leased a desperate passing attack, but it failed when an alert defense played heads up ball all the way. Sammy Baugh, all-American quarterback, Saturday night was just another player covered with mud, his heaves generally falling with a thud to the ground or being slapped down by secondary. Too, Neill consistently out-punted Baugh. Tech made nine first downs to T. C.

3. The Raiders also out- gained the Frogs, piling up 132 yards from scrimmage to the 51. yard on a line smash, McCalpin passed to Yost for the Ho.unds second touchdown. A fumble prevented Reeves from kicking extra point. The Greyhounds other points came about when Kuhn was way led behind his own goal-line on Frog attempted kicks, for safeties.

A strong Greyhound line continually opened wide gaps in the Bobcat forward wall for their backs tc plunge through for several long gains. The Bobcats were outplayed and were never in scoring position. Kuhn played a hangup game and did almost all the kicking and passing, and was away for several long gains.

Outstanding in the Methodist attack. as it was, were Finley, Jack Morrison, son of Ray Morrison, once ringmaster of the Methodist aerial troupe, and Johnny Harlow. They slithered around the ends and accounted for most of the seven first downs the Methodists tallied.

The Methodists tried 14 passes with the muddy ball and completed five for a total gain of 104 yards. Morrison, starting from his safety position, hustled back several punts and passed unerringly under almost impossible conditions.

Bob Masters, veteran halfback from Comanche, led the bruin attack. Baylor scored both touchdowns in the first period and more or less toyed with their opponents the rest of the way. The game was played on a slick but fairly firm turf. Simmons suf- fered a severe epidemic of fumbling at the start of the game which was lost almost before it had i begun.

Hinriehs, after losing 12 yards i on a running play, fumbled and Clark of Baylor recovered on the three yard line. Masters swept around end on the first play for the first score.

After Baylor had been stopped at the goal line for the fourth time, Jennings ordered his team to get some defensive practice. Baylor kicked on early downs throughout the remainder of the contest. Simmons tried passes, but never got within the Baylor 35 yard line.
