THE SOUTHWEST CONFERENCE
In all the furor that Dana Bible's Texas Longhorns have created with their marvelous early season record, many fans may have failed to realize what a strong set of teams the Southwest Conference has this fall. Rice, 10-9 up-setters of Tulane; Texas Christian, conquerors of Indiana 20-14; and Texas A. & M., 49-7 victors of New York U., rate highly. Then there's Matty Bell's defending co-champs, Southern Methodist, rated as the team to give Texas the most trouble. Bell's Mustangs lost a thriller to Fordham 16-10.
Matty Bell likes the play of Jack Wilson, Baylor's great star. Quoting Bell, "Wilson is the best all-around back the Southwest has had for a long time. He's a 200-pounder who can do anything." Speaking of good backs, Texas has a bumper crop. With Jack Wilson of Baylor; the 'ham & eggs' boys of Texas, Jack Crain and Pete Layden; Preston Johnson of S.M.U., the nation's best punter; Rice's smashing fullback, Bob Brumley; and T.C.U.'s triple threat star, Kyle Gillespie, the Lone Star state has its share of potential All-Americans.
MORE DOPE ON TEXAS
Oklahomaans say that Texas looks two touchdowns better than the Nebraskan Rose Bowl team of 1940. Bible has three of the best in backs Crain, Layden, and Harkins.
Notes on Pistol Pete Layden: He's the boy who beat the Texas Aggies and Kimbrough 7-0 last fall. He can do anything with a football, so they say—kick, pass, or run. Only weakness opposing scouts can detect is that Pete is slow in setting up the ball for Jack Crain on the conversion kicks after Texas touchdowns. Layden, a crack punter, didn't get to boot the ball once in the first two games.
SIDE-LINES
Andy Tomasic led Temple to a 17-7 triupmph over Georgetown. Tomasic went 68 yards on a punt return for one tally and then scored on a dash off-tackle 43 yards for the second Owl touchdown... Harvard's student paper branded Cornell for subsidization and paid the price. Cornell, aroused, turned back the Johnnies 7-0... How's this for a coach's name—Magnabosco.
Jack Jacobs of Oklahoma has a 60-yard punt to his credit against Texas. . . Harry Hopp, Cornhusker star a year ago, paced the Detroit Lions (pro team) to a 17-7 win over the Cleveland Rams. . . Johnny Martin, all-Big Six man like Hopp in '40, ran 17 yards for the only Chicago Cardinal score in their 53-7 loss to the Chicago Bears. . . Bill Hearne's 109-yard gallop for six points against Transylvania was last Saturday's outstanding individual feat. . .
Hôrace Mason, Kansas publicity man on sports and a good one too, made Whitney Martin's column a few days back. Martin commented on Mason's clever writing. . . . An interesting quote, "Someone will beat Texas this season, but I don't know who," says Matty Bell (S.M.U.) . . . Eight of Auburn's ten games are away from home. Coach Meagher's men will travel 4,374 miles by rail. . . .
Here's an amateur football player who received money for his efforts in the Yale Bowl and never had to forfeit his 'pure boy' status. In the 14-14 Yale-Brown tie of 1939, Bob Priestley, Brown end, picked up a fifty-cent piece and kept it. . . Bill Cunningham, the nation's highest paid sports dopester, devoted a column to the war situation the other day, heading it with this title. "There's a bigger game than football and we aren't ready."
Write down Spike Nelson-Yale, Red Blaik-Army, Paul Brown-Ohio State, Tuss McLaughry-Dartmouth, and Frank Leahy-Notre Dame as successful first-year headmen to date. . . No big team figures to go undefeated this autumn. Minnesota did in 40 but a twist of luck might have turned the Michigan, Northwestern, and Ohio State games into disastrous defeats.

Stidham's BoysReady!
Only previous meeting between the schools was in 1928, when Marquette downed the Jayhawkers 7-0. An intercepted pass returned to the K.U. 20-yard line in the fourth quarter set up the only touchdown of the game.
Coach Tom Stidham, in his first year at Marquette has given the Hill-toppers their best team in recent seasons. The opening game of the season found Marquette whipping Wisconsin by a decisive 28-7 score. Last
week, Stidham's team outdowned Michigan State, but was upset 13-7.
Evidence of the power of Marquette's offense is shown vividly in the fact that the Hilltoppers rolled up net gains of

Along the air lanes, Miller will have the assistance of two other first string backs, Ray Niblo and Ray Evans. The two sophomores have been throwing the ball better every week.

Miller goes into the game with a record of having completed more than half of the passes he has thrown this fall. A spectacular aerial duel should be on tap between Miller and Jimmy Richardson, Marquette ace, who has completed 16 out of 22 passes in his
two games.

Jay Kern, who did a fine job in Merkel's place against Nebraska, will start at right guard again Saturday. Bob Fluker will be at left guard and Bob Githens at center.
Tackles probably will be Steve Meade and Gene Long, with Hubert Ulrich at left end and either Paul Hardman or Bob Hagen at right end. In the backfield will be Miller, Niblo Evans and "Red" Ettinger.
In the season's most exciting volleyball game, the Thetas' nosed out the Chi Omegas' 25 to 22 last night. Halftime score favored the Chi Omegas 11-8. The score in the second half was deadlocked until Peg Davis served, and she piled up 6 consecutive points for the Thetas. Stars for the Chi Omegas in defeat were Anna Jane Hoffman, Zita Ann Lowry, and Dot Burdhead while Peggy Davis, Joanne Fronquier, and Jane Stites were standouts for the Thetas.
Kappa Kappa Gamma snowed under the Alpha Chis 52-13. It was the second straight triumph for the Kappas, defending division champions. Ace netsters for the Kappas were Margarette Parker, Mary Beth Dodge, and Lo Smith. The Alpha Chis lacked the power and organization necessary to cope with the fine Kappa team. Alpha Chis' Margaret Whitehead and Lucille Gillie turned in fine serving performances.
In another one-sided contest, Corbin hall walloped the A.D.Pis 56-16.
