nt least one thousnnd nine hundred
and ninety-two collegians nnkled over
to' the A. C. C. knole nnd to make
everything still more like a barten-
ders nightmnrc the whole congrega-
tion stormed the door nt one time.
Ilig Hill and his cohorts gave the
people an excellent show. In fact
the show was so good and the contest
so conscientiously waged thiit time
had to he. called before a deciding set
could he played. If this third mntch
had been started probably they would
he smashing driving nnd lobing un-
til this hour. (Friday morning .3:30).
The "Old Master" proved beyond
all reasonable doubt that he is still
among the foremost in the net game
and by far the most capable of the
cosmopolitan crew touring with him.
Later this month Tilden will have his
chnucc to really prove his supremacy
on the courts when he encounters his
most nrdent challenger Fred Perry
in a scries of five matches. These
matches said Tildcn will be placd
In Madison Square Garden Chicago

Your correspondent was fayoied
with the opportunity to see Big Bill
in several "off stage" moments when
his car wasn't ready for him when
he discovered thnt the bearings wcro
burned out of one of his autos count-
ing tickets inspecting the gym nnd
he presented himself ns an all-right
guy. With the lesponsibility of the
financial management of the tour in
nddition to plnying on his shoulders
the nco wns very nervous; never
stnnding still for more thnn a few
seconds and smoking one cigniette
light after another.
The old trouper hns some defi-
nite ideas concerning tennis nnd
readily expressed them Thursday
afternoon:
Modern women's tennis cannot
compare with men's tennis of to-
day. There are at least 100 men
says Tilden who could defeat the
national woman champion Alice
Marble by any score they should
desire.
Bitsy Grant should be ranked
above Frankle Parker that is
second instead of third place by
the United States Luwn Tennis
association. -
The professional gnme in the
opinion of Big BUI Is much fas-
ter than modern nmateur racquet
swinging. He says the hos that
play holely for the fun cannot
even compete with the salaried
exponents of the game..

Shifting over to the basketball side
of the ledger . . . the national A A. U.
tournnment will be getting underway
at Denver tomorrow and without the
presence of the highly touted Cow-
boys. It took n long time to defeat Kim-
brough's 1937 edition of cage artists
and it took a former Cowhand to ex-
pedite this man-sized task. Jimmy
Neely former Cowboy hot-shot and
present coach at Slaton wns given
credit for his team's victory. Ncely

Tables Turned When Cage Fiend Hits College
Becomes Power on Grid.... That's Callaway
Blnckie enme to H.-S. U. boasting
an enviable basketball record but
only n mediocre football background.
But the tables were soon turned in
college nnd football became his first
ranking sport. As a high school ath-
lete Callaway earned only two foot-
ball letters and fniled to win n berth
on tho nil-district Oil Bolt elevcpi
while representing the Snn Angelo
grid tenm. In basketball however
he was one of the best performeis
in tho history of the "Concho" coun-
try. His accomplishments on the
maple court include three years of
first string participation with the
honor of enptnining the quintet in his
lnst year. He was also nil-district
gunrd duiing his lnst two years. His
other "home town" honors extend to
tho winning of the position of short
stop on the nll-stnto soft ball team
in the stnte tournnment played at
Snn Antonio in 1934.
Duo to this quiet conservative dis-
position Blnckie hns not tnken pnit
in many of the social functions on the
Hnrdin-Simmons cam pus; neveitho-
less the consistency in which ho ac-
complishes things has won for him
ninny friends both in and out of
school. During tho three years he has
been a member of the H-S club
Blackie. hns tnken an active part in
tho Cowboy lettermen's organizntion.
Callaway with his uniform Her-
culean build has been an important
cog in tho H.-S. U. grid machinery
over tho past four years. Ever alert
his "hustling" nnd qualities havo la-
beled him as one of tho most rugged
guards in the Southwest. Since en
teiing H.-S. U. as a freshman in
1933 ho hns been n regular right guard
on tho Cowboy elevens plnying prnc-
tlcnlly nil of every game during his
varsity enreer.
Blnckie has bco none of tho "hust-
lingcst" bnsketbnll players seen on
tho Cowhand court in several yeais
but duo to his lack of height five feet
and eleven inches he has failed to
SPORTS IN OTHER CAMPS
By S. J. WHITE
From the Cicighton university
weekly:
"Tho father of your correspondent
was recently nt Lubbock Texns. I
wrote him a letter asking for infor-
mation concerning Texas Tech
Crclghton's Thanksgiving Day (1937)
foe.
"Tho nnswer wasn't particularly
heartening. The nntives expect a
gieat team at Lubbock next year.
Much better they soy than last
year's eleven that took the measure
of Texas Christian 7-0.
"Furthermore it seems thnt the
Matadors (Texns Tech) are a lusty
lot alongside of whom our Hardin-
Simmons friends seem about ns hnrdy
ns the ciocheting team nt Miss Hildc-
garde Potts School for Girls."
Texas Christian scored a lone
touchdown in the closing minutes
of the game to beat Howard
Payne college T'-O and the Cow-
hoys routed the same Howard
Payne tenm over the 31-0 path.
Wo have no record of Miss Hlldc-
garde Potts' school for girls and
the school docs not sponsor a
crocheting team therefore we
cannot make on accurate compar-
ison of the two institutions.
Among the heralded many small
but enviable records are remembered
such ns the bnskctbnll foul score 04
cnllcd in Rhode Island Freshmen vs.
Northwestern Freshmen Boston Feb-
ruary 25 1934.
Bobby Thompson Pnssinc high
school star in 1921-27 perhaps es-
tablished n world's record for points
scoted in n season by making 1000
points.
Flushing High Queens N. Y. won
five bnsketbnll games in one day in
n tournament nt Madison Squnrc Gar-
den New York in 1904.
Kearney Egerton sports editor of
the Hound-Up New Mexico State

schedule problem simply dubbed the

Excerpts from Cnllaway's resume
of college accomplishments outstand-
ing athletic opponets etc.:
"I decided to attend Hnrdin-Simmons
becnuse it seemed to offer more
oppoi (unities for nn nthlcte.
"I played tho test football game
of my college caieer against South-
ern .Methodist in 1935.
"I took more punishment in the
Creighton game.
"Wetzel of S. M. U. was the best
lineman I ever played against.
"The best bnckfield man I ever
played against was Lloyd Russell of
Baylor.
"The best basketball opponent I
have met wns Jack Gray of Texas

"Although participation in the two
major sports has lasted nearly the
year round I consider that college
life has been a pleasure to me dur-
ing tho four years I havo spent in

Fulcher Launches
Track Come-Back
Truett Fulcher has not represented
Hnrdin-Simmons on the cinders since
the Cowboys withdrew from the Tex-
ns conference but will start n come-
back campaign. It is the desire of the
Cowhand hurdler nnd discus tosser
to provide a traveling mate for tho
famed Terry to the larger meets of
the country.
Fulcher now plans to enter the Fat
Stock Show of Fort Worth March 18-
19 nnd the Texas relays early in
April.
Although Fulcher has not been ac-
tive in college competition for the
past two years he has been clocked
nt 15.1 seconds for the 120 yard high
hurdles and under 25 seconds for the
220 yard low hurdles. He Is con-
sistent at throwing the discus 135
feet which equals the stock show rec-
ord and gives the 144 foot mark as
his best throw in practice this year.
During tho two years that Fulcher
wns eligible for Texas conference
competition he won plnces in these
events and neared the six foot mark
in the high jump.
Should Fulcher show tho doubters

Fourteen of last season's squad were

"I do not enre to piny professionnl

education minor by securing a coach-
ing and teaching position in some
nearby high school.
