9 Although only three lettermen
i are on the Yellow Jacket squad,
J reports from their camp indicate
i they have a strong first string and
an equally capable crew of reser-
ves.
The Jackets took San Marcos by
a score of 12 to 7 in their first
game of the season, and last week
they opened their conference play
with a 7 to 0 win over Trinity
College.
With all players in near-perfect
Condition, Coach Miller's Ram
quad will be ready for the start-
ing -whistle-vtomorrow night with
Co-capt. John Bray again starting
at fullback and John^Hosea, prom-
ising freshman, aMlie right flank.
The RamsNwW be banking heav-
ily on Co-capt. Monroe McCarty's
accurate leather-slinging should
they find going on the ground too
hard.

After "three and a half hours of
strenuous putting competition, Ver-
non Willoughby, T.W.C. golf cap-
tain for '.35, '36, and '37, won the
Forth Wor^h short-shot champion-
ship at Meadowbrook course Thurs-
day night. He defeated Bill North-

women's regalia final.
The tournament is sponsored by
Fort Worth Golf Association offic-
ials annually, Last year C. E. Not-
tingham, left-hander from Glen
Garden, won the award.
In winning Thursday night over
a flight of the city's best golfers,
the new champion has definitely
established himself in line for fu-
ture honors, it is generally believ-
ed.
Vernon won the weekly Meadow-

night, for a prize of three 75-cent
golf balls, in addition to taking
Thursday night's contest. »
During his summer of golfing, a
list of his winnings include 10

driving contest—the Southwest
Amateur and Glen Garden Invita-

substantial prizes.
Vernon will be eligible for play

RAM - BUFFALO PLAY BY PLAY
Q
(Editor's Note: While the Rams
and Buffs battled up and down the
field in Canyon last Friday night,
the Rambler's sports correspond-
ent, Dub King, was on hand with
pencil and" pad, dashing up and
down the sidelines, getting an ac-
curate and complete account of the
game which amazed 4,500 specta-
tors as T. W. C. downed the Buffs,
13-6. _ Here's -the .play-by-play
story—)

First Quarter
Co-captain Monroe McCarty took
the Buff kick-off on his own five
yard stripe and returned to the 20
where he was brought, down by
Hinger and Walling. Spiawn made
four over tfackle. Then he scooted
around end for a first down orv^he
Buff 42. Spiawn hit the line for
no gain, but McCarty knifed his
way over tackle on the next play
for six yards. Both teams were
off-side. .McCarty failed to gain.
Hosea killed John Bray's punt on
the Buffs' 26. Dow made two at
center, stopped by McCleskey and
Lem Bray. Hosea and Livingstone
piled into Dow after he had added
two more at. right end. John Bray
spilled Quarterback Watkins for a
yard loss. McCarty returned the
Buff punt to his own 33. John
Bray rammed over center five
yards. Spiawn took the ball from
Bray on a spinner play for three
more yards. Bray powerhoused
way across the Buff line for a new
try on the Buffaloes' 44. Spiawn
carried twice for nine yards. Bray
made six. Spiawn added two and
McCarty moved the leather to the
Buffs' 29... The surprised and some-
what scared Buffs qdickly called ]
time-out. McCarty's pass at Spiawn
fell incomplete when he dropped
the ball. McCarty, Bray and
Spiawn picked up nice yardage on
running plays to put the ball to
the West Texas 12 yard stripe.
Then big Chick Neilson, Buffalo
wingman, broke through and toss-
d Spiawn for a five yard loss to
ill an oarly rally. ^Spla^i was
nocked out efl the play and had
o be removed from the game. AI-
•in Reese replaced him. Rutledge
grabbed Thomas' punt on his own
25 and returned to the 39 where
he was hit hard by Harp, Dow
and Walling. A pass, McCarty to
Dan Rhome, was good for 12. Then
the Rams' clever triple-threat tail-
back, McCarty, found Rutledge
open in the flat and passed to him.1
Red zig-zagged and sped down the
Buffs' 15. It was first down and
fifteen to go for a touch. John
Bray hit the Buff line for three.
Then, with the West Texas defense
pulled in close to stop another line
play—McCarty found Hosea across
the Buff goal. With unerring skill,
McCarty shot a bullet pass to
Hosea who made the Rams' first
score of the evening "double-thrill-
ing" by reaching high Into the air
with Fullback Dow hanging on to
pull the leather down. John
Bray's try for point was almost
good—it hit the crossbar and
bounded back.
John Bray kicked off for the
Rams to Thomas who returned to
his own 28 where he was hit hard
by Rhome, Randolph, and Living-
stone. McCarty tore into Halfback
Slack to force him to lose three
yards. Reese hit Lyde after he had
gained "two yards at end. Living-
stone and Rhome spilled Lyde for
no gain. Rutledge ran Thomas'
punt back to his own 28. McCarty
got off a fine quick-kick to shove
the Buffs back to their own 14.
Score: Rams 6, Buffs 0.
Second Quarter
Livingstone hit Lyde for no gain.
Thomas punted out of bounds on
his own 40. Reese failed to gain
at end. Bray made 4 over editor.
Harp recovered a Ram fumble on
his own 40. Buffs drew a five yard
penalty for being offside. Dow was
hit by the Ram co-captains, Bray
and McCarty for no gain. West
Texas was penalized five yards for
too many time-outs. Rutledge ran
Thomas' punt back to his own 38
where he was tackled by Williams,
Harp, and Slack. McCarty failed
to gain. The Rams fumbled again
and Haip again recovered on
Rams' 36. On the next play, the
Ram line charged hard and recov-
ered a Buff fujjible. The Buffs
again got-.possession of the ball on
a punt and started down the field.
Dow hit the right side of the line
for seven. The ' Buffs pulled the
same play again for six more
yards. Then Thomas circled end
for four and Dowe added another
seven. Two more thrusts by Dow
gave Baggett's eleven,' the ball on
the T. W. C. 12 yard line. Here
they made the mistake of taking
to air. Their ground plays had
been clicking, but the Rams check-
ed their aerial game and took pos-
session of the ball on their own 12.
On the first play Alvin Reese sped
around left end for 49 yeards. For
a while it looked as if he might
run the distance of the field but
several members of the- Buff sec-
ondary pulled him down in mid-
field. McCarty hit the line twice
for two yards per try as the first
half ended. Score: Rams 6, Buffs 0.
Third Quarter
Rutledge found himself swarmed
by Buffs on the Wck-off and was
downed on his own ten yard line.
McCarty rammed over tackle for
six yards. Bray failed to gain and
then hit the same spot for two
yards. McCarty kicked to the 40
yard line where the ball was killed
by Rhome and Livingstone. Dow
made one. On the next play, Fos-
ter Miller, Ram tackle who had
replaced Homer Craig at tackle,
fell on a Buff fumble to give T.
W. C. the ball on the Buffs' 43.
Reese made one and McCarty add-
ed five by some neat running at
end. McCarty failed tc gain. Then
Mac punt the West Texans in a
hole by kicking to their 12 where
Dan Rhome killed the ball. John
Bray spilled Thomas for a four
yard loss. McCarty dashed back
to the Buffs' 48 with Thomas' kick.
Reese was downed by Capt. Red
Walling and Oscar Hinger for a
ten yard loss on an attempted end
run. McCarty passed .to Rutledge
over center who tossed a hip at
Dow and Slack before finally being
downed on the Buffs' 42. A pass
to Bray from McCarty moved it
five yards closer to the W. T. goal.
After three plays this drive bogged
down and the Buffs took the bail.
An exchange of punts gave T. W.
C. the ball on their own 44. Big
Red Walling was in fast to block
McCarty's attempted punt. The
ball rolled nearly 35 yards to the
Ram one-yard line. McCarty fell
oil,, the ball but it was now 'in the
Buffs' possession as the block kick
had taken place on fourth down
which was a tough break for the
Rams. Dow hit the line for a
touchdown, but several Ram line-
men were in on top of the at-
tempt place-kick to leave things
tied up.
Rutledge returned the Buff kick-
off to his own 16. Gracey had
previously replaced Bray. He
lunged his way across the Buff line
for eight yards. McCarty piled up
a first down on his own 27. T. W.
C. lost four on a fumble. McCarty
kicked to the Quff 35. Thomas
slipped around end for a first down
as the third quarter ended.
Score: Rams 6, Buffs 6.
Fourth Quurter
Randolph intercepted Thomas'
pass to give T. W. C. the, ball on
their, own 47. Rutledge gx-abbed
McCarty's pass in tj»e flat zone
for a 22 yard gain. Gracey made
three but Rams were offside on
play. McCarty then passed to Red
in the £lat. After taking a few
short strides, Rutledge decided to
toss a laterial back to McCarty.
The ball bounced out of Mac's
hands into Walling's. This was a
tough break for the scrapping
ping 1?ams.. Dow made three at
the line. Thomas added three. A
pass from Watkins to Dow was
good for 27 yards, but the Buffs
were offside on the play and drew
a five yard penalty. Dowe made
four. Watkins punted giving T.
W. C. the ball on thfir own 15.
McCarty fumbled and Walling re-
covered to give the Buffs the ball
Dow made eight at tackle. Dow
was stopped for no gain by Hosea.
Segars replaced McCleskey for T.
W. C. Three subs went in for the
Buffs. On fourth down, with
inches to go the Ram line held and
took the ball on their own four
yard stripe. McCarty punted to
Murry.
Ben Fowler and Rutledge spilled
Dow after a three-yard gain.
Slack made four and was stopped
by Hosea and Randolph. Living-
stone, Fowler, and Rutledge pulled
Dow to the ground after a six yard
gain. Thomas picked up four.
Dub King Speaks
of Sports.
My good friend and room-mate,
John Hosea. told me before we left
the room last Friday nigl^t in
Amarillo that he would make a
touchdown against the Buffs. He
also added that if things went
right—he would see to it that the
Buff's passer did not stay in the
game.
Your correspondent was a little
dizzy after that ball game, but if
we remember correctly—Hosea
caught a touchdown pass from Mc-
Carty and helped Dick Livingstone
to kayo a< Buff back. Now don't
get things wrong. Hosea is not
cocky. He's not a guy who likes
i to go around bragging. Hut lie" be-
lieves in himself and so far has
' been able to back up everything
! he says.
| Yale had an All-American end
1 last season who delighted in pop-
ping off and going out on the
field that afternoon and backing
his statements up by "treating
football opponents of Yale with the
utmost care." Unless we miss our
guess, this Hosea kid, one of the
most promising freshman students
ever to enroll here, will be heard
about plenty before he gets his de-
gree here in '41.
Howard Payne Next
Next^on the Rams' program will
be the tough, up-and-coming How-
ard Payne Yellowjackets. Last
year they defeated T. W. C. in
Cleburne by the 21-0 count. While
they have only three lettermen
back this season—their clever
coach.'McAdop Keaton, has mould-
ed a team togetotgr capable of giv-
ing any team^ in these parts their
money's worth. *
As bad as .we -hate to say, Mil-
ler's eleven again1 will be forced to
go into this game as the under-
dogs. The Jackets opened their
conference schedule last week by
downing Trinity, 7-0. That's some-
thing to think about. Eif&ene Sun-
derman and Halfback Wilson are
due to deal T. W. C. lots and lots
of punishment this week.
It now appears that Co-captain
Jolnr Bray may have to watch this*
week's game from "the sidelines
with injuries. He received injuries
to his left knee in the Buff game
which may prove mo|fc serious
thajuiirst expected.
Glen Lee's tip-top orchestra fur-
nished the musical entertainment
in Amarillo . . . you could have
knocked John Bray over with a
feather when Jerry Lane strolled
"flirtingly" to the microphone with
.a dedication to our co-captains Mc- j
Carty and Bray . . . Steve Scara- j
fiotti kept us laughing with some
weird tales . . . this department
wants to hand it to our good friend
Grover Lee for the swell way he
put the reception over . . .
. . . Jerry Malin, Amarillo Glode
News sports editor, had picked the
Buffs over our Rams by 19-6 . . .
♦ * * *
This week's picks. The Rams
over Howard Payne by 14-7., Mas-
onic Home over North Side, T.,C.
U. over Tulsa after a close battle,
Daniel Baker to knock off Austin
College, McMurray to win fr<$n
Trinity and Arkansas over Baylor.
Hosea and Livingston had kayoed
Murry, Buff passer, a few plays
previously. Murry retired to the
sidelines where he came back into
his ^enses a few plays before the
game ended. The Buffs agaift
marched within the very shadows
of the Ram goal posts but again
bogged down as—0" rtoTgh, tough,
never-give-up Ram line fought gal-
lantly. The Rams? with the ball
in their possession, went into a
huddle. Coming out of the huddle
McCarty dropped back behind the
goal with his hands outstreached
as if he would kick. But instead
he found Rutledge open in the flat
for a pass .-whi^h gave T. W. C.
the ball in mid-field. Then Mc«*
Carty passes to J. Bray who had
come back iiito the game for nine
yards, four correspondent will
never forget the next play.
(.Neither will the Buffs!) Spiawn
passed up the Buff halfback whi\e
going at full speed and grabbed
Mac's pass to give T. W. C. the
ball on the Buff five. After three
line plays had failed, Spiawn fol-
lowed good interference around
left end to make it 12-6 in favor
of the Rams. RuHedge's try for
point was perfect.
Acting cleverly, John Bray kick-
ed out of bounds on the next kick-
off. The Buffs took the ball on
their own 35. Bray charged in to
Intercept Thomas' pass and race
back to midfield. The final gun
sounded as the Rams came out of
the huddle.

Fall Before T. w.
Mrs. McCarty's little boy, Mon-
roe, began slinging leather out at
Canyon last Friday night and the
West Texas State College Buffaloes
were upset by Coach Gus Miller s
scrapping Red and Black huskies
to the tune of 13 to,6, before a
crowd of 4,500 spectators.
McCarty tossed 14 passes and 12
of them were good for a total of
210 yards. The two incomplete
heaves hit their marks but were
fumbled. <
The T. W. C. backfield quartet—
McCarty, Red Rutledge, Hall
Spiawn and John Bray—were also
dynamite on their ground plays,
picking up a total of 187 yards in
scrimmage.
Rams Doped To Loose
The proverbial dope bucket had
the Rams slated to lose their sec-
ond encounter of the season with
Coach A! Baggett's creW^jy several,
touchdowns, but T. W. C.£vj?nt to
work early in the game and before
5 minutes of the .first quarter had
elapsed, John Hosea, stellar frosh
flankman, had snagged one of Mc-
Carty's aerials over the Huffy]
line for the first score (,f t|1(. j
