Kimbrough who came back to his
alma mater two years ago to put
Hardin-Simmons on the football map
in the Southwest in a masterly way
will continue to keep .it there in his
third season as head coach.
In 1936 the Purple and Gold record
of nine victories in eleven games as
the Cowhands scored 302 points to
41 for. all opponents placed Hardin-
Simmons nationally nhcd of such
schools as Army Yale and many in
the Southwest. On this showing
crowds' at Cowboy stadium are ex-
pected to be Larger this year.

and scrimmages looms strong with a
keen competition under way for po-
sitions and two backs Ed Cherry

as sports scribes and national syndi-
cates as "men to watch" for All-
America berths or mention in 1937.

Texas Tech's J. W. West.
Quoting Wilton Hazzard in his ar-
ticle The Stars of '37:.
"Ed Cherry 190-pound back at
Hurdin-Simmons is one of the gold
en-haired comers of southwestern
football. Last year he got All-Amer
ican mention and this fall he bids
for a place on the All-American first
string. He's one of "those tripple
threaters who helped the Abilene
Cowboys run through .much tall op-
position in '36.
"In Burns McKinney who scored
ten touchdowns six of them on runs
ranging from 60 to 96 yards the
West Texans have still another back
who would be a star on anybody's
team. Around this pair Coach Frank
Kimbrough is building a potent grid-
iron machine for his drive for great-
er recognition."
George W. White's article on the
Southwest also gives the Cowboys a
big boost. Said the Dallas News
sports editor:
"Here's another West Texas foot-
ball giant more powerful than Tech
just sitting around in the sun sob
bing for a little action The Cow-
boys were one of the finest teams in
the south a year ago and this season
they should be every bit as good.
Sport fans claim to see in this the
reason why they've had difficulty ar
ranging the kind of schedule they
would like. The big boys make no
mistake in sidestepping this tough
outfit.
"Frank Kimbrough lost only two
of his veteran backs. In Ed Cherry
and Burns McKinney he has a pair
that would make any coach forget to
complain at least for awhile. Rar-
in' to go is Veteran Mahuron who
was on the Injured list most of last
fail. Early indications point to young
Jack Henrlcks of Breckenridge an
elegant punter as the man to fill the
fourth chair in the pigskin-pushing
department.
"The ends and guards are on a
par with the best but center looks
like a danger spot. If Turner a big
likely - looking youngster comes
through at center -the Cowboy first
string 'line wi leave little to be de-
sired. Topno'tch reserves aren't as
plentiful as they were in '36 and the
success of this year's Abilene team
hinges largely on its ability to side-
step an epidemic of injuries. With
anv luck in this raaneet. Cowboy de-
