The final curtain on the year 1030's
football has been definitely rung down
and the game is now nothing more
than n stale subject for bnrbcrship
reflection.
As tho light wanes on colorful sea-
son's activities followers of the Cow-
boysand opponents can unhesi-
tnntly speak of the year as tho great-
est in Hnrdin-Simmons' history.
With an already highly acclaimed
record for 1035 written in tho an-
nals tho veteran Cowhands contin-
ued under the capable tutelage of
Prank Kimbrough its upward trek
ending as ono of tho top teams of the
nation and with an unprecedented list
of achievement.
Nine Games in Dag
Victories number nine while only
a duo of early season defeats mar
the final score card. Competition
embraced traditional rivals South-
west conference elevens intorscction-
nl foes and New Year's Bowl opposi-
tion. So great has been the success
of the Ranchers and so indicative of
their prowess that they now faco the
problem of securing reputable teams
for another year's schedule. Scoring
totaled 302 points to opponent's 41.
Several Individual members of the
103G machine were outstanding to the
extent of national recognition. Ed
Cherry fullback received honorable
mention on tho Associated Press nll-
American team. Pete Tyler back
was given tho same honor by Grant-
land Rice in his Collier's ail-American.
Odis Crowell giant tackle was
named for a berth on Jerry Mann's
all-state eleven. These personal hon-
ors wcro made possible through the
superb supporting roles played by
teammates.
Recounting each game on this sea-
son's card:
Daniel Baker bowed before the
wearers of tho Purple and Gold 20 to
0 in the opening game Sept. 18.
Lose in Mud
Playing in heavy mud tho follow-
ing week tho low-spirited Cowboys
suffered their most acute defeat of
tho year at tho hands of Baylor's
mighty Bears. The score was 14 to 0.
Most thrilling game ever fought
in recent years on western Texas
gridirons would bo n fitting descrip-
tion of tho Kimbroughmen's third
game. Five thousand people saw tho
Cowboys lose 3 to 0 in the last ten
seconds of play to Texas A. & M. at
Wichita Falls on Oct. 3.
Tho next game was tho first of
several that did much to run high to-
tal scoring for the Beason. On Oct.
10 Cowboy stadium assumed the as-
pect of a cinder part as touchdown
mad players raced up and down tho
field for a 52 point win over Okla-
homa Baptist university.
Crcichton Felled
Only intersectional fray of unusual
significance was played nt Omaha
Neb. with tho Crcighton university
Bluejnys October 24. Tho hard-
fighting Cowboys came from behind
and then repelled a threatening touch-
down drive in tho last minute to win
by a margin of 13 to 7. Crcighton
tho following week held Marquette to
a 7 to 0 score.
Kansas Wcslcyan required only tho
listless efforts of tho Cowboy re-
serves to bo beaten 20 to 0 in tho
third homo appearanco for the year.
Tho date was November 7
Tho traditional clash with Howard
Payno was augmented inspirit by a
record homo-coming crowd and tho
game Yellow Jackets succombed 31
to 0 before tho Cowboys' greatest on-
slaught in tho history of that game.
Four touchdowns wero mado in tho
. last period of play.
On Nov. 21 tho Javelinas of Texas
A. & I wero entertained nt Breckcn-
ridge and were added to tho long
lino of victims to the Cowboy scoring
machine. The final tabulation was
39 to 6.
Long Trckcrs Loso
"Twelve hundred miles to loso five
yards." This tells in part tho story
of Mornlngsido'a jaunt to Texas and
their melee with H.-S. U. Total scoro

season's biggest for tho Cowboys

Talk has been going the rounds
concerning the Cowboy's participation
in the national basketball tournament
held annually at Denver Colo. some-
time during March.
All of which strikes us as a very
good idea and one that should not
be chunked in the pigeon hole that so
many times finds itself the recipient
of pertinent and timely ideas. This
year of all years is the most logical
season for the Rancher basketball
team to try a hand in the big time.
Tho Tho squad is now made up of
veterans men that have become sea-
soned and who arc thoroughly school-
ed in the art of dropping the apple
through tho hoop. Two years ago
practically this same aggregation of
basketcers mushed their way to snow
clad Colorado only to bo eliminated
in the early stages of tho tournament.
No doubt they wero straining possi-
bilities just a trifflc but if the time
is not here it will never arrive.
Uncrowned champions of the South-
west conference by virtue of wins
over Baylor S. M. U. and T. C. U.
a chance in tho national tourney
would give the Wranglers opportun-
ity to prove their mettle in unques-
tionable terms. An adverse showing
by the undefeated locals however
would be something indeed that they
would not like to write home about.
And this risk is evident. But still
every ma nor group of men should
have their just rewards and we want
to sec the Cowboys in Denver city.
Seven men aro shooting goals for
their last time under H.-S. U. colors
this season while only five are un
dcrgrads. Tho seniors ore: Firman
Scroggins Robert Glover Bill Har
ris Benson Blackio Callaway Alton
Terry and Sam McCollum.
Sinco we last discussed tho
football schedule for the coming
fall tho Cowboy's much discussed
fot of 1936 Kansas Wesleyan
who was originally planning to
entertain H.-S. at Salina Knu.
next fall has been dropped from
the card. Tho game was to have
been played Oct. 9 and would
hnvo been looked on by next
year's squad only as the cause for
an extended rail journey to tho
mid-west a section they havo
visited twice in the same num-
ber of years already.
Last weok tho Brand revcnlcd to
somo extent tho plans for tho futuro
of graduating football men. Two of
that number have already started the
fulfillment of same story. Si Ad-

Inaugural plans wero made this
week for introduction of wrestling
nnd boxing nt Hardin-Simmons.
Sinco many Texas schools arc par-
ticipating in this sport and many of
the boys of this campus arc interested
in these forgotten sports n plan is
being devised whereby the Cowboys
will enter inter-collegiate meets it
was hoped.
If this plan is worked out satis-
factorily Otho Polk local phys-ed in-

ing with tho coaching nnd training.
Any student who is interested in
trying for the first two places in his

ular practice sessions until a squad
is selected.
Those that have expressed their de-
sire to participate arc: boxers Cun-

Murphy is icported to havo already

at probable matrimony when inter-

Papa (Tindall) Jones reports that
his fish basketball hopefuls are none
too promising. There is probably as
little incentive for this division of
the H.-S. U. athletic program as any
on the entire calendar and ery few
outside of athletes hardly know any
such thing exists. It is to be remem-
bered however that an extra big load
of timber is going to be required for
replacement of holes torn in the cage
structure by graduation this spring
and the opportunity is present for
goal shooting frosh.

Five years ago Francis Schmidt
T. C. U. basketball coach hit on a
plan that might prove to bo a help
to somo of tho moro modern aggrega-
tions. After dropping a decision to
Bnylor because of poor gratis toss-
ing Schmidt made each player take
200 shot3 from tho foul line. Adolph
Dieted looped 150 of his through only
to be surpassed by Doc Sumner with
159 counters.
Sam Baugh has been selected
on practically ever j one's all-
American except Alan Gould. He
was placed on an All-Jewish ag-
gregation but we'll wager that
his most prized possession came
when he was selected as the "Fa-
vorite Footballer" by the stu
dents of C. I. A. The girls of
this school are very good grid
fans and should be able to pick
a good man.
In tho first official all-players' all-
conference football team of the Alamo
conference the St. Mary's Rattlers
led the field by placing six men on
the fiist team. Texas A. and I. took
second place with four men and Sul
Ross brought up the other end with
one man.
Twenty-three College of Mines
footballers and student manager
James Hart were awarded Grucn
wrist watches in appreciation for
their services rendered in the Sun
Bowl game. The players had a choice
of watches or suits of clothing.
Threo outstanding sports figures
for 1930 were:
Max Schmclling for his unexpect-
ed knockout of Joe Louis the Blown
Bomber of Detroit.
Larry Kelley Yale end who play-
ed superb football this season.
Jesse Owens Negro Olympic star
won threo first places for tho Ameri-
can team.

none were injured.
Tho two games carded for East

mester. West Texns State Canyon

day nnd Tuesday but have deferred
these engagements.
Remaining matches already con-
tracted for the Cowboys include two
settoes in Abilene with the West
