WAVES OVER GRIDIRON Orange And White Beata Aggiei Before 45000 To Win Conference Title Gridiron guns that hare wrecked the peace of the southwest for three months were stilled today and the battle flag of the Texas University Longhorns floated over the citadel For the first time to eight years the orange and white found tiseil to posset sum of the conference football title A smashing 19 to 0 victory over their dearest rivals the Texas Aggies before 43000 fans boosted the men of Littlefield into undisputed possession of first place For the first time since the season opened the orange machine came Into full possession of its powers yesterday For two quarters it was frustrated by the fighting farmers Then os if realising its strength it crashed its way to three touchdowns The Arkansas Razor backs who finished second were soundly trounced by the Longhorns early to the season Any hopes the Southern Methodist University Mustangs might have entertained of establishing a claim on the crown were obliterated by their unexpected but thorough rout by the Texas Christian University Horned Frogs 15 to 6 By upsetting the Mustangs the Frogs finished in a tie with Baylor University for third place Baylor's youthful team closed its campaign with a 25 to 14 win over the Rice Institute Owls whose record of five straight conference losses stands unrivalled Outside of the courageous up-hill battle waged by the Longhorns to Coach Clyde Littlefield a title in his second year as head coach at the capital city the outstanding development of the season was the demoralization of the splendid Southern Methodist University team to the closing weeks of the marathon The Mustangs apparently shot their bolt when they licked the Longhorns 6 to 2 the only defeat administered the champions by a conference team The best they could do after that was a 19-19 tie with the Aggies Then they caught suceesMve thumnings from Bavlor and The fact that their ace Redman Hume ns on the sideline was generally regarded as the reason for their puny display against the Aegies and Baylor but they didn't' do much better with Hume in the llne-uo yesterday Ctach Matty Bell's Christians electrified the stands by throwing a touchdown into the Ponies in the onenlng minutes of pity and from then on the outcome was more or lees obvious Instead of plavlng the defensive game thev were

afire then let up If those boys would maintain their speed through me full game be unbeatable And that is Just exactly what got to do If they beat Amarillo Abilene folks have been belittling the Golden Sandstorm to the face of the huge score they've amassed We do not think the Pan' handle eleven is nearly as good as it thinks it it or at least as good as its backers declare It to be but its a lot better than Amarillo has ever had before and it will take all illpne's Abilene's got to defeat while was not doing so well The Cowboys rode off to spend their Thanksgiving Day to El Paso and lost 13 to 7 to the Texas College of Mines It was a fine gesture by the Miners toward their coach Doleful Doc Stewart who to that game wss bringing to on end a coaching career of thirty years The Miners scored twice In the first half Worthington sprinting fifty yards for the first end going over again after a long dash by Emmett Sanders end Clerk carried the burden of a Simmons drive Henry One Smocking Rad New York University which has one of the very finest football teims to the country will have to suffer to its national rating for the defeat that was administered by Georgetown That is unless Georgia Tech should happen to be flattened by Georgia on Dec The injustice of being penalized for the loss of one game is manifest particularly in tjie esse of New York University Here is a truly greet teem that wss beaten on a field of mud by a touchdown resulting from a recovered fumble go Into a championship game keyed up too high The Wildcats were too so anxious were the ball carriers to gain ground that they grabbed the bsU and (dunged aimlessly a lot of times hurled passes where there was nobody and fumbled the ball nine times to their anxiety to run with it They fought all right They lost to a better team but a little more collected thought might have reaped a tie and that would have been sufficient to cinch the A A title get so hurt abcut the Hp-uuaim loss as we might have For at the opening of the season it like Morris Just develop a A A contender But he did finished to a tie for second place and beat Texts Tech to boot which is not a bad season at all Bugs is one of ths best coaches to Texas Daniel Baker loses two-thirds of a three-and-four year team A loses practically nothing out of a squad of 40 promising men Next fan Morris will have no less than 20 sophomores all of whom will be good enough to go to there and play real football Therefore It is our prediction that on next Turkey Day the Billies and not the Wildcats will be the underdogs You can always leave It to Medley's Indians os said before to grab a game out of the fire when necessary and that they did at Alpine Thursday Even after their captain had been put out with a broken leg on their first offensive play the Indians did not let down After fumbled a punt and let Sul Ross score six points they retaliated at once for 7 points That's the kind of stuff that makes real football players Barry the Simmons club took a lickin' If a coach was ever cursed by too much material Us Bridges The strength appears so distributed among his many men that its difficult to arrive at the strongest combination of 11 men However to face of the humiliations inflicted by Austin college SL Edwards and the Miners the Cowboys could finish the season in glory if by some method they could defeat Howard Payne Friday You con find plenty of guys who think Howard Payne will run over the Cowhands But we do not think so We view Simmons as distinctly the under dog and that's the way the Cowboys ought to feel They been to the habit of letting themselves feel like they ever are under dogs and maybe that's one reason they Ye dropped some gomes Its equally dangerous to under-estimate your opponent and to overestimate yourself Simmons must do neither against Howard Payne If Bill Sanders ore with their punting and the Simmons line will really and It has appeared at times It has not put out an it then It will be very difficult for Howard Payne to score INDIAN A POLES Chuck Wiggins Indianapolis stopped Tom Sayers Detroit (6) Etonian Clark II-dlanapolls outpointed Eddie Walsh

after Tech had given a fine plastering to Georgetown We are not defending New York particularly or offering on alibi for one team to a favored section We are speaking for a lot of good teams that lost one game and were defiled for it It la becoming more and more apparent that It is humanly impossible for a team to go through a season undefeated Schedule makers are looking to the big gates and Imposing a burden uoon without two complete first-class varsity teams Knute Rockne Tad Jones Pop Warner Judge Steffen Biff Jones and all the rark'ng coaches of the country insist that it is Impossible
