Coach Frank Klmhrouith's Cowboys hIH tannic next Saturday night with
the tuuRhcnl foes they havo met since S. M. U.'s Rose Howl team defeated
them hack in 1035.
The Centenary Gentlemen had a Rtrong team last your strong enough to
trounce the powerful T. C. U. Horned Frogs and the Southern Methodist
Mustangs but this year they arc being heralded even more potent than last
year's squad.

SIDELINE
By BILL AMO
The well known fedora ii off to
Uurtoti SheltMi Ilriinil editor last
year. Shelton is really pounding out
tho copy ns sports editor of the
Sweetwater Reporter. And he'll have
plenty of it on tho rapid rise of Lew
Jenkins in boxing circles and itlic
hard luck of Slingin' Sam Uaugh. At
present Daugh is on the shelf with
n severe leg injury.
Hardin - Simmons cnptuicd the
fancy of eastern newspapers during
the summer. Late in August Frank
"Buck" O'Neill sports columnist of
the New York American ievoted
three paragraphs to the Cowboys.
Talk centered nround n grid clash
with a metropolitan eleven. Meeting
the University of Maryland in a post-
season tilt was nlso mentioned.
Alex Parrisli state featherweight
boxing champion enrolled here as a
freshman lecontly. Parrish is a
Wichita Falls product and holds just
about every title available in his di-
vision. In addition to his AAU
crown ho is a Texas Golden Gloves
winner and TAAF king. As a side-
light to his rin gendcavors Parrish
will be an aspirant for tho Cowboy
tumbling team.
Speaking of boxing Daniel Baker
had a scrappy light heavyweight
playing left end Saturday night
ubrey Wilhelm needs no introduc-
tion to Abilene fight fans. Lust year
the Brownwood battler displayed his
aggressiveness several times before
Sportatorium crowds. In one bout
Wilhelm got up from the canvass on
three different occasions finally
slugging out a close decision.
Hardin - Simmons' lone national
track and field record went by the
boards the summer. Larry Bell of
Miami College Ohio eclipsed Alton
Terry's two-year-old javelin mnyk by
more than two feet. Terry who
placed fifth in the 193G Olympics
held the AAU standard at 229 feet
3-4 inch. The Ohio athlete tossed tho
spear 231 feet 2 1-2 inches. Terry
incidentally surpassed the present
record twice in unofficial exhibitions
before homecoming gatherings hit-
ting 237 feet on one try.
Something of a record lies in the
fact that Daniel Baker has not scored
on the Cowboys in the last seven
football games between tho schools.
Since 1920 H-SU hns encountered
tho Hill Billies sixteen times with
the Ranchers triumphant in twelve
of the rnys. Tho Brownwood col-
lege emerged victorious in n pair of
conflicts and two ended in a dead
lock. All in all Daniel Baker failed
to chalk up a single score in twelve
of the clashes.
Photo3 of tho Purplo and Gold
gridders in cowboy regalia aro rapid-
ly spreading tho name of Hnrdin-
Simmons fur and wide. A number
of mid-western and far-western news-
papers have carried five-column pic-
tures of the Ranchers. The most
recent publicity stunt puts tho foot-
ballers in tho movies. Leo Orr of
the Fox Movietone staff spent two
hours hero Monday afternoon getting
many unusual shots. If tho reel
comes out successfully the pictures
should bo released by next Friday in
New York.

crown has been a source of constant
fear in the Frogs' camp for the past
two wciks. A. T. C. U. scout who
witnessed Centenary drub Louisiana
Normal 1 1-0 last Saturday openly
stnlcd that lie was afraid the Frogs
could not win. And when any team
is a source of terror to one of the
strongest teams in the nation there
miiit be pome well founded reason.
The Centenaiy mentor Conch Cur
tis Parker has nineteen letter men
back this yenv and every one ti de
mon. In last Saturday's frny nine
of the starting eleven were two-let
ter men.' Only recruit was Banjo
Hollowny a 213-pound center whose
speed and viciousness classed him
right along with the veterans.
Gents' First Gome
In their opening game last week
the Gents did not take to the air
much as a means of offense. They
were not compelled to. Most ground
gaining was' done on power plays
through the line inside tackle. The
Gentlemen hnve an air-tight defense
and a vicious running game.
The Cowboys aio slated to have no
little bit of tiouble on checking these
powerful line drives. Conch Klm-
brough's scoring department ha3 al
ready shown its menacing ability but
the Cowboy line needs more experience.
But even ngninst such a brilliant
team as Centenary surely hard-hit
ting W. J. "Rocky" Ford hip-swinging
Owen Goodnight and fancy-
stepping Jack Hinrichs will mnko the
Gentlemen of tho ' swnmp country
fully aware of their presence. And
it will take real air-tight defense to
nrevent veterans Bud Reeves and
Neal Davis from snaring a few flot-
ing pigskins.
Heavy Tough
Everyono is'fully aware of the fact
that any team that leaves tho Cow-
boys' stomping grounds flying the
victory colors may rightfully boast
that they earned it.
One of the heaviest teams in Cen-
tenary history will roll into tho Cow-
boy stadium next Saturday night.
The lino will average approximately 'jjnnal(
200 pounus ironi enu 10 cnu aim mu
bnckficld will average between 180
and 186.
Curtis Jones tackle; Weenie Bynum
halfback and Ed Whitehurst full-
back will be the nucleus around
which the '38 team will bo built.
These thrco Centenary footballers
are all juniors and it is believed that
each of them will receive mention for
ull-Amcricnn honors.
Hackficld Ace
The man Tor the Cowboys' to watch
will be little Weenie Bynum Cente-
liavv's lG5-Dound triple threat back-
fiold ace. Bynum can kick pass and
run. He is excellent at hanilling
punts on the defense and plays
Kwell i?nme airainst passes. Ho

Tourney Planned
Intra-Mural Event
Begins October 3
Plans for the first annual all-university
tennis tournament ore pro-
gressing rapidly. The singles tour-
ney an innovation sponsored by the
intrn-mural athleitc council is sched-
uled to get under way on October 3.
Entries for the gala affair must be
filed at the physical education office
before next Wedneday September
28.
Tho entire student body is invited
to compete for tho court laurels.
With none of last year's varsity net-
men available no ono will be barred
from playing. Pairings for the first
round will be made on Thursday and
posted in the book store.
This tourney also will aid Coach
in selecting his Cowboy
raqueteers. Several boys are ex
pected to show promise nnd be re-
quested to come .out for the cquad.
An upper nad lower bracket will
mark the draw with no needed en
trants.
a
is
not classed as a speed demon but
is ono of tho fastest men on the
squad and very hard to knock off his
feet. His greatest asset when run-
ning with the ball is a chnngo of
pace and a deceptive motion with his
body which keeps would-be tncklers
wondering which way he is going to
cut.
Bvnum's running mate Ed hite-
hurst is touted to bo one of the hard
est hitting fullbacks in coiegiaie
competition. He will probably bo the
spearhead of tho Gents' offense. He
and 'Bynum will carry tho brunt of
the offensive- duties. Ld is n last
staiter gathers grcnt drive in at
least two steps.
The Cowboys will return from San
Firtncisco Sunday Slight and will
havo the following flvo days to prep
for tho Homecoming battle. And fivo
days is a short time for preparation
against such a team as tho Cento-
nnrv Gentlemch.
Voach Kimbrough Is hoping that
tho Cowboy hquadmen sustained no
serious injuries in last night's clash
with the Dons for a few injuries
could seriously Impnir the Punchers'
pigskin machine.
Jackets Are Mean
Despite Defeat
Cowboy fans are Jubilant aver the
fact that North Texas State upset
tho Howard Payne Yellow Jackets
during last week's play.
However it is not at all wise to
take the Jackets too lightly because
it is easy to remember that it was
this same Howard Payno crew that
ruined the Cowboy's untied record for
last season.
Charles Burton of The Dallas Morn
ing News says: "Don't count the
Jackets out of league race yet."
Even Coach Kcaton admits that tho
Jackets will improve in the future.
Their main weakness is in reserves
nnd they should bo whipped into
shnpo before many more days. North
Texas is considerably stronger than
usual and they by no means experien
ced a walkaway victory on last week.
Since the Jacket clash S. M. U.
Hillbillies Take Good
Licking From H-SU
Hardln-Simmons University Cow-
boys turned on the power Saturday
night in the Cowboy stadium to
polish off the Daniel Baker Hill
Billies 27 to 0 in the season's open-
er making a record of eighteen
starts without defeat for the Cowhands.
The Cowboys who were heralded
last year as razzle-dazzle passers dc
luxe took to tho air only twice and
both attempts missed receivers.
Replacing the deadly hurling by
last year's Little All American Burns
McKinncy and Eldon Mahuron -were
the powerhouse drives by W. J. "Big
Indian" Ford 190-pound Wheeler
sophomore from Henderson. Jack
Hinrichs a Brcckenridge dynamo
proved a good senior representative
in tho power-driving department as
he reeled off long drives accounting
for several of the Cowboys' 17 first
downs. Two more Purple and Gold
back fielders of the find-a-holc-and
scoot type who made the Hill Billies
aware of their ability are Bedford
Russell junior from Dallas and
Owen Goodnight Holland sophomore.
The Cowboys were slow to get
started but the second quarter found
a clicking combination. Combining
sprinting ability with his steam-
roller assaults Sophomore Ford
raced 50 yards for the first Cowboy
tally and then powered over for the
third after Mullins galloped 36
yards for the second. The Punchers'
final count camo when Neal Davis
right end from Shamrock recovered
the Billies' punt blocked by Bud
Reeves left end from Wichita Falls
in the end zone.

Cowboy freshman gridders have
their work cut out for them this
fall. Only three games have been
carded at present but tho trio of op-
ponents rank highly. Tho Wranglers
are scheduled to encounter tho most
powerful Junior college combines in
Texas New Mexico and Oklahoma.
Coach Mack Alexander's cohorts
inaugurated their campaign Inst
night traveling to Portalcs New
Mexico for a tilt with the Portales
Junior College eleven. Altus Okla-
homa Junior College Is the next
stop for the frosh. Altus is rated on
par with several crack college com
bines.
Altus Double Tough
Thursday night tho heralded Altus
team romped to a 52-0 win over Mc-
Murry College. Althugh the Indians
are short of material this season
the Oklahoma outfit displayed far
too much power for their varsity op
ponents. In 1937 the H-SU Wrang-
lers took Altus into camp by a 14-7
count.
Weatherford Junior College re
turns to the frcstiman slato again
this year. The Weatherford aggre-
gation overwhelmed the "Fish" of
last fall 39 to 14. Coach Alexander
is priming nis squad for this battle
with stiff scrimmages desiring
greatly to avenge the 1937 setback.
Wranglers Few
Candidates for thq Wranglers
proved to be scarce this year. Only
twenty-four boys reported to Alexan-
der. In last night's clash the start-
ers included H. C. Barrus and Ray
McCullough ends; Chet Smotherman
230-pound Amarillo product and I.
B. Heard tackles; Jim O'Dell and
Lloyd Flahey guards; and Bob
Thompson in the forward wall.
Jim Beam diminutive signal cal-
ler; Phil Pring and Bobby Graves
halfbacks; and Murray Evans husky
fullback formed the first team back-
field. Evalns distinguished himself
ns the big gun in the Wranglers' at-
tack time and again The blond Burk-
burnett back is a hard driving nee on
offense and an able linebacker.
Other players to see action were
