Gulden Gloves Tournament Is held here late in January DALLAS Nov 16 (UR) Arkansas University Cinderella team of the Southwest Football Conference will be host in the annual Cotton Bowl classic at Dallas next New Year's Day sources close to the Cotton Bowl Association said tonight Picked for the cellar at the start of the 1946 season Arkansas apparently cinched a Cotton Bowl berth today with its 13-to-0 win over Southern Methodist University The win assured Arkansas of at least a tie for the title Cotton Bowl sources pointed out tonight that chances were strong Arkansas would end the season in a tie for the Southwest title with Rice Institute and when that happens we must name Arkansas as host the Cotton Bowl source said two teams tied for the title and with one victor over the other this season the choice is Arkansas upset Rice last week 7 to 0 The Colton Bowl Association in event of a tie has sole authority to name the host team for the annual gridiron classic It thus appeared that by virtue of its victory over Rice Institute had fought its way literally from the conference cellar to the Colton Bowl in one game Rice the team that toppled Texas from the ranks of the nation's undefeated a month ago was expected to win a bid to either the Sugar Bowl Orange Bowl or the Oil Bowl in its home town Houston The Owls lost a season -opening heartbreaker 7 to 8 to Louisiana State in addition to their upset in the mud by Arkansas There was no indication tonight of the Razorbacks possible foe in the Cotton BowL Evans Leads Jayhawks to 34-0 Win MANHATTAN Kans Nov 16 Elusive Ray Evans breaking away for three touchdown runs of 12 21 and 57 yards led the University of Kansas to a 34-0 victory over Kansas State College today before 17000 persons and kept alive the Jayhawk hopes of sharing the big six title The sprinting back whose crazy-legged scampering has brought his team from early mediocrity to winning form was pulled from the game after his third scoring thrust just three and one-half minutes after the second half got under way to insure hie- safety from a bruising game which saw four men injured Thus the tall senior from Kansas City will be fit for the all-important Miss ouri game on Thanksgiving Day barring a practice mishap Kansas broke into the scoring column 14 minutes after the game started but i Texas Rodeo Association Clrnison Tigers Paste

skies and in chilly weather for the contest All-South Texas Squad To He Selected Down at Kingsville Jake (Old Flannelmouth) Trussell is again scratching his head as he prepares for the task of selecting his annual All-South Texas team or squad Jake has asked the Barker for a little assistance on the selection He asks our nomination on the six outstanding Buccaneers three outstanding Cavaliers twn or three of the best on the Laredo squad outstanding men on the Robstown Cotton Picker squad and other really fine athletes in this The All-South Texas selection has really captured the fan intercut in this section To Jake's credit he hay done- an excellent job in the past although it's often difficult to keep from overlooking a eeservmg boy He'll welcome suggestions from any football fan Of course not all rf them ran be followed but at least give him an opportunity to study records of the bejt boys And by best boys it does not necessarily mean for instance the trp running and offensive backs in this section A good blocking back stands as much chance of making the selection as some of the more publicized ball carriers For instance we consider Kirby the real key back in the Buccaneer backfield even though he seldom packs the mail But he docs teally mow the opposition down to allow his mates to go places with the balL Great Show in Store for Rodeo Fans Announcement
