These Southwest teams are rugged enough without going out and getting all inspired one game. The going has rocky for the Aggies many times. Take the Baylor game. Without its great fullback, Jack Wilson, Baylor A. and M played a cl. Ee me; its backs dug just a le harder. Then, late in the game the Baylors opened up with a violent pa: g spree. Poise Over Fire The Aggies, a senior team with three years’ experience, quietly went to work, not a sign of panic evident. They choked Baylor with pure poise, finally had them the nervous ones. The Aggies came through, 14-7. Little publicized, but the back- bone of the Cadet team, is a stout line. Through the first six games this wall had permitted only 201 yards by rushing. Marshall Foch Robnett. curly-thatched, 205- pound guard and the best line- man in the Southwest, is the leader of the rowdy seven. Behind it operates the best all- around offense in the Southwest. Dark, cuiet ion Pugh, the quarterback, > one of the na- tion’s best forward passers. And the Aggies are passing plenty this season. The man Pugh has led an aerial spree that has accounted for 741 vards on 54 completions out of 104 attempts. Many Cadet touchdowns have been born of this aerial warfare. Pugh h: thered more than 750 vards by his running and passing to top the team. When he tires of throwing there is a lad named Marland Jeffrey who can throw strikes with any of them— "™* just a shade behind Pugh. Kimbrough Is—Kimbrough Kimbrough? Perhaps not as sensational as last year, but defi- nitely as good. John Kimbrough is a team player, the most valu- able fullback the sector ha: known. He rips off his th four yards with consistency, has made several stunning runbacks with intercepted passes from 25 to 60 yards, is a great blocker and line-backer. Such a marked man, Kimbrough has been relieved of some running duties in lieu of Pugh, Derace Moser and Wild Bill Conatser, fleet tackle blast- ers. The balance of the team cen- ters around blond, rugged, good- natured Jim Thomason, whom Southwest Conference coaches bluntly describe as “the combination blocker and_line- backer in Southwest conference history”. Only this season did they let Sophomores Provide Punch For Top Teams By DILLON GRAHAM Sports Editor, AP Feature Service NEW YORK, Nov. 12.—Sopho- more stars are sparking many of the leading college football teams to victory these days. Perhaps the leading sopho- more roles have gone to Boston College’s Mike Holovak, 200- pound halfback, and Tennessee's fullback, Bill Nowling. Notre Dame's best end is Bob Dove Michigan and Minnesota have fine tackles in Al Wistert and Dick Wildung. Holovak, a star in every Bos- ton game, is fast in the open and possesses piledriver line-smash- ing power. Tennessee’s Coach Bob Neyland, who likes seasoned play- ers but figured that his veteran team might need the eager spirit | f a youngster, boosted Nowling into his first string backfield. Wildung At Minnesota Bernie Bierman at Minnesota finest s SO YOU THINK 13 IS UNLUCKY? (By Associated Press) SEATTLE, Nov. 12.—Thir- teen unlucky? Let C. W. Johnson tell you about it. Four years ago on Octo- ber 13, with 13 shells in his pockets, and carrying a hunt- ing license beginning with 13. Jchnson started out on his 13th hunting season. His automobile bore license A-1313. He got his buck and, yes—there were 13 points on the horns. That was four years ago. On October 13, 1940, John- son again went hunting. His hunting license ended with 13—A91213. His car still had the same license—A-1313. And he got his buck again— not with 13 points, however, but it was still ample proof the supposedly unlucky num- ber holds no jinx over him. Still not convinced? Well. his hunting dog’s license is No. 13. ‘SSSI IS SSS 4 SOFTBALLERS IN MEETING TONIGHT OUTCOME OF SPORT WILL REST UPON DECISION OF MANAGERS Due to a _ misunderstanding, the regular doubleheader of soft- heduled for last night at Bay w Park was called off by R.

A few dozen stars are sure on them gets heavier and heavier in the November games. Mid-western observers rate AL WISTERT of Michigan as one of finest tackles al- though this is only his first year of varsity ball. Here are other contenders: Princeton has had rough sled- ding this fall but the Tigers boast the best passer in the East in DAVE ALLERDICE. This husky the pigskin.

Wis- as the outstanding lineman ¢ e day on the afternoon that Michigan _ shattered Pennsyl- vania’s hopes. Dove came along so fast this fall that he ousted a flock of veteran wingmen that Elmer Layden had on deck at Notre Dame. Qnce-beaten Fordham has two sophomore sensations—a passing back in Steve Filipowicz and an aggressive end in Jim Lansing. Syracuse uncovered a crack youngster in 145-pound Leland (Bunky) Morris, who booted the field goal that gave Syracuse a 3-0 win over Columbia. The Lions also found a pair of first-year aces in Paul Governali and Ken Germann. Governali got away to a 75-yard touchdown run against Dartmouth. Bill Busik. crack runner and passer, and John McTigue and Al- lan Cameron are among the sophs that have made Navy a power in the East. Army’s Harry Mazur is one of the year’s best backs. His 40-yard touchdown Tun gave the Cadets a tie with Harvard and against Notre Dame he was the best back on the field. Weems Star At Rice T. A. Weems, Rice halfback, led the charge that beat Texas and has made the Owls a threat in the Southwest. Gene Pickett, with fine performances against Wash- ington and Washington State, and Jim Jurkovich, have been aces for California.

George- town’s veteran unbeaten team finds Jack Doolan a fine half- of the best at Tulane. Sid Besh- unsky of Temple booted the field goal that beat Bucknell Cliff Wise is Tom Harmon’s under- study at Michigan. Billy Yearout sparks Auburn. Jim Youel does the passing for Iowa, Dean Bag- ley is a TCU. whirlwind, and Ray Wolfe, who scored three times against Sewanee, is highly rated at Dartmouth.
