RANCHERS TACKLE OUACHITA TIGERS NEXT FRIDAY
Cowboys To Meet
Arkadelphia Squad
In Home Stadium
Hardin Simmons Gridders
To Encounter Loyola
October 8
The inaugural game with tho in-
vading Murray State Thoroughbreds
from Kentucky is history and the
Cowboys looked ahead today to next
Friday night's opponents Ouachita
College from Arkadelphia.
Tho following vreeH tho Ranchers
take to tho trail to ride herd against
the Itoaring Lions of Loyola univer-
sity in Gilmoro stadium in Los An-
geles on October 8. This will bo the
first of two California trips this fall
and stacks up to be one of the fca-
turo week-ends of tho 1037 grid sea-
son. Impressive Record
The Ouachita Tigers who won six
of eightgamcs with ono tie and ono
defeat for Coach Bill Walton in
1930 open tho season today against
the Oklahoma Baptists away from
home in a night game.
Next week they como to Abilene
to tangle with the Cowboys.
Then on October 5 Hardin-Sim-mons'
two first opponents of the year
Murray State and Ouachita will
meet at Arkudclphia.
A year ago CoacH Hoy Stewart
and his Murray Staters handed Oua-
chita their only drubbing of the year
21 to 0.
Coaches as a rule are pessimistic
at this time of the year but Coach
Walton of next Friday night's in-
vaders is on record with the surpris-
ing statement that his Tigers will be
better than they were last fall.
At this point however the pessi-
mism begins to crop out and Coach
Walton goes on to predict that the
Tigers will not get through their
1037 season as successfully as far as
wins and losses arc concerned. The
reason he says is a heavier schedule.
Jennings Protege
Walton is an alumnus of Ouachita
and a former footballer under Morley
Jennings who was coach at Ouachita
for 14 years before going to Baylor
university in the Southwest confer-
ence. Under Jennings Ouachita used to
meet Southwest and Southern con-
ference teams and do right well by
them. The Tigers have defeated
Arkansas Mississippi Mississippi A.
and M. and other ranking teams in
recent years.
This year the Bengals play Olo
Miss St. Mary's of San Antonio Har-din-Simmons
Murray State the Ok-
lahoma Baptists Durant Teachers
and some other tough ones.
The team itself is well staffed with
veterans at every position and Coach
Frank Kimbrough and the Cowboys
aro apparently in for a lively evening
before 'they tighten the lariat to quiet
the Tigers.
Backfield
Coach Walton has eight experienc-
ed backs and his only complajnt is
their weight deficiency.
Bob Smith nt quarter has help
from Morton Rankin John Lucken
Tommy Mann Willard Bratton Frank
Tilley Clyde Slater and Joe Reintano
in the triple threat run pass or
punt department.
In tho forward wall there is a
veteran lineman for every position.
Joe Arnett and Ray Richards come
heralded as a "pair of tall fast ends."
Sody Matlock and Lloyd Moore are
100-pound tackles
Billy DeShong Chinn Langston
and Payne arc the ranking guards.
Fred Strickland and Jimmy Klncan-
non hold down tho pivot spot. Cap-
able reserves for tacklo and end are
Coach Walton's need.
Tho visitors go strong for pass-
ing both forwards and laterals und
last year had exceptional success in
"knifing tho line." Tho punting is
A-l.
The Cowboys aro taking on fast
company in entertaining next week's
.visitors and need tho support and
loyal backing of all true sons and
daughters of the Purple and Gold
in their bid for a ranking place in
the football sun of the Southwest this
fall.
Do you know what "El Casidor"
means? It mean another new Cats
line sweater for college men. El
Cazidor and the AU-American are out
standing for style. See them at
MINTER'S 242 Pine street.

uled for the last of October will open

sical education instructor and faculty

camped out ate in many different
kinds of cafes saw friends who had
not seen them in years and learned
a great deal about tho United States.
When they saw tho cotton fields
of the South for tho first time they
thought the cotton plants were soy
bean stalks similar to tho kind grown
in their part of tho country. Cyclone
is in an agriculutral area where
wheat oats corn hay soy beans and
tomatoes arc the principal crops.
When they reached Wichita Falls
Texas R. H. who attended the Uni-
versity of Indianapolis had a job
waiting for him. Keith came to Abi-
lene with his cousin Kathleen Cor-
bin of Wichita not however in the
famous Ford. The boys were induced
to part with "Henry" whoso only
fault was four "slightly worn tires"
for ten dollars. They mado one hun-
dred per cent profit on their original
investment plus the trip to Texas.
Keith mado tho freshman football
team but In view of his five dollar
profit on "Henry" ho decided he
should be a business man. He is now
working at Stovall's City Service sta-
tion. When Stovall wanted to know
if Keith had any experience fixing
flats ho smiled and started to work.

Those football lads sporting the
nifty (?) hair dresses (peroxido
blonds to you) are causing quite a bit
of comment around the campus. It
seems to be quite a popular pastime
changing the color of one's hair to
a golden hue.
No one seems to know just how or
why it happened. Mildred King
thought maybe they wanted to bo a
guiding light in some one's life. They
might have wanted recognition but
then they get plenty of that on the
gridiron.
' "They look like tho rising sun"
(pardon the pun) another student an-
swered. One campusite thought they
looked more like the setting sun.
Several students thought it was n
looney idea anyway.
Perhaps they're re-setting them-
selves up as a shining example for
the students to follow. Let's hope
not too many of them take up the
idea. The campus would probably re-
semble a gold mine; that is if you
could only see the top of the student's
heads. Can't you just see Hardin-
Simmons ns an all blond school?
It's an idea anyway; though it may
not be such a good one.
The football boys themselves when
asked why they switched colors
couldn't think of a suitable answer
but said "We had to have something
to do."
Varsity Exes Plan
Dutch Breakfast
Varsity football members and ex-
players for Hardin-Simmons univer-
sity will inaugurate a new weekly
program next Tuesday morning with
a Dutch breakfast and round-table
discussion of last night's game.
Present plans are to hold similar
conferences each Tuesday morning
following a game during the entire
football season. At the meeting
players will give their version of the
game Coach Kimbrough will discuss
his angles and friends and exes will
have an opportunity to tell how they
would have played the game ask
questions and make suggestions.
Exes will be permitted to leave the
conference early if necessary. Fur-
ther information may be obtained
from Lucy Howerton or J. B. Ncely.
Season passes to Hardin-Simmons
game are being mailed out to all H.-
S. ex-lettermen both in and out of
