Johnnie Conncl looked more

against the freshmen. That was

seen him look any thing near

ricrs. Carruthcrs is a very smart
defensive center. He watches the
backficld for every little tip thut
they may unconsciously give as to
which direction they arc going
and he usually is there to meet the
ball carrier with a head on tackle.
Three of the regulars on the
varsity were out of the scrimmage
because of injuries received in the
battle will the Hillbillies. Baldwin
has a bad looking knee that is
swollen to the size of two. Horde-
grcc's shoulder was giving him a
little trouble. The third party is
Little Flash Bill Maxwell. Bill's
grievienccs were not known.
The cross country team had
hoped that they would get to at-

of the game. But word was re-

they arc not ready for them yet.
Coach Weems has written to TCU
for a meet with them for the 20th

men. Looks like that half posi-
tion can be filled by a very capa-1
hie man in cither of the two men
if they showed the same brand of
stuff in the game against the Ea-
gles as they did in scrimmage.
Sammy Bryan did some very
good blocking. That is the de-
partment most lacking of the
Wildcat team. And one man can-
not do all of it.
Don Nelson deserves honorable
mention for his service against
the Hillbillies last Friday night.
All Don needs is a little experi-
ence and he will be hard to keep
off the starting line-up. And from
the fight he showed against Daniel
Baker he is gaining experience
fast.

The freshman football squad
will journey to Wcatherford Sat-
urday to play the strong Weather-
ford tollcgc team.
Weatherford boasts of victories
over Trinity university dndNTAC.
Trinity is strong and NTAC re-
cently ran up a 20-6 score over
the Simmons freshman team.
The freshmen are improving
daily and will give Wcathcrfora
plenty of trouble. The line-up
will be strengthened by the re-
turn of Parker who has had a bad
shoulder and Carruthcrs who has
been out of daily practice because
of an operation.
The trip will probably be made
in private cars and eighteen men
arc expected to make the sched-
uled trip. Although it is not

North Texas has been whetting
up to dive into the Lone Star con-
ferente swim in which they are
favored to be plenty swift. They
expect to continue the whetting
with the Wildcats as their tool
but the Morrismen intend that
plenty Eagle feathers shall be

As for the Cats' prospects Fri
day night let it be observed that
they are working out daily on a

dexterity ot any man s team. And
whnts more they can do these
plays having made them the chief
subject of each rehearsal. Wheth-

The list of players with minor
injuries has grown since last week
but no one is expected to be ex-
cluded from Friday night's scrim

derson fleet Cat back stayed in
the Daniel Baker fray about five

scrimmage with the frosh last
Tuesday the Wildcats showed the
best practice trim of the year.
Probable starters in the line are
as follows. Hardegree and Holm-

field is due to be picked from this
list: Bryan Connel Maxwell

Spec Smith's Long Trip
To Goal Is Merely
Lost Energy
Two hundred Wildcat backers
from Abilene saw the Christian's
conference opener with the Hill
Billies which ended in a scoreless
tie.
The thrill of the night came
when Spec Smith ran 92 yards on
a returned punt for a touchdown.
But this was all lost motion as
one of his squadsmen was off side
and the Wildcat team refrained
from any attempt at halting
Smith on his trip to the goal line.
The run was consequently thrill-
ing and sensational.
The two teams were very evenly
matthed in both offense and de-
fense. In thirty-seven plays the
Wildcats picked up fifty-four
yards as compared to ninety-two
for the Hill Billies in fifty-five
pluvs.
John McKcnzic ACC star kick-
er was out of the game and the
kicking H.i done by Bulord Bai-i
win. The Wildcat fullback did
same very nice punting. He aver-
aged thirty-three yards for fifteen
trials. Baldwin got off one fifty-
eight yard punt which was very
nice. He also got off a very good
quick punt which caught Smith
the Billic safety man asleep. Bald-
win made another attempt at a
quick kick but1 it was blocked by
one of his own men.
The Wildcats played a very
nice game the first half but let
down a bit in he second. They
made thirty-seven yards from
scrimmage in the first half as
compared to fifteen in the last
half. The same is true of the
Billies as they napped in the last
chukkcr. It was more than some-
what like a kicking duel.
Aside from the run that Smith
made one other threat was made
o score and tiint was just before
the ending of the first half. The
Billies got a far as the Chris-
tian's twelve-yard stupe but was
stopped there by the &un for the
half.
The Wildcat got to the thirty
seven yard marker but because of
poor blocking thity cui Id not ad-
vurcr the ball any rener the goal
lino.
The Cat's only tl'cals were
made by Bill Maxwell u the re-
nin of punts. Maxwell uid a neat
iob of taking the roll back on
kirks. He outclassed thu Presby
terians in his tl'.'ft;. rurning
gaining sity-six jarrf- iluough his
return i.r. kick?. fci u.c of these
were threat) towti. i' "it score.
The Christians made two first
downs while the Billies made
four but three of these were given
by penalties. One of the Wild-
cats received a penalty also.
The game was slowed down
considerable by penalties. ACC
was penalized seven times for sixty-five
yards and the Hill Billies
received ap equal amount of pen-
alties for forty-five yard loss.
Whereas the Billies suffered
sixteen yards for loss the Chris-
tpians lost but one yard. Maxwell
completed the only pass for the
home team for a total of five
yards tlie Cats trying but four
passes
A Wildcat line more powerful
than any in late years was dis-
played igainst the Billies but a
knack at passing and blocking
was absent. Captain Jake Gray
again starred at center stopping
threatening plays at the line of
scrimmage.
Other line men to star were
Campbell and Pyeatt at tackle.
They were in every ploy for dam-
aging results to the opposition
and stopped many before they
materialized
