As ‘Jarrin’ John’ Leads Aggies Into Austin

By. TOM W. MILLER . United Press Staff Correspondent

AUSTIN, Tex., Nov. 27—0Of Texas’ 6,418,321 residents, only a handful of those who follow, football today gave Texas much chance of stopping the pile-driving Texas Aggies here tomorrow. But. there was one person whose conviction was firm that the onrushing Aggies, unbeaten in 19 straight games and hoping to play in the Rose Bowl, will be stopped in 24

hours before a crowd of 44,000 in|

Memorial Stadium. + That person was Dana Xenophon Bible, the “Old Fox” who coaches Texas. “I thing were going to win, »’ Bible asserted flatly today. “We're ready,” he said. “We play a fine football team—a great team-— but we want to be known as the Texas team that beat that great

4 frotball team, the 1940 Texas Ag-

gies.” Bible said that Jack Crain, his al-ways-dangerous rabbit runner, was in his best physical condition in more than a month, and that Big Pete Layden, the improving power back of the Longhorns, was “rarin’ to go. ”» The whole team is in shape, except for two or three minor hurts, Bible said, and “every last boy is dead center in the right frame of mind.” But how will Texas stop “Jarrin” John Kimbrough, the 222-pound human locomotive, Bible was asked. In the last 10 days of practice, unbroken by a scheduled game, has he beer preparing any Special “Kimbrough defense?” “I don’t know if anyone can’ prepare a special: defense for that boy,” Bible replied. “But we have been working hard; and we are READY.” Nevertheless the Aggies are heavy favorites to smash through Texas tomorrow as they have through each team they have faced for nearly two entire seasons. The Aggies never have beaten

South Central Cage Loop Will Be a Wide Open Affair

By BARTON CARTMEL Written for the United Fress RUSHVILLE, Ind., Nov. 27—Followers of South Central Ob erence basketball have in sight a wide-open scramble among the nine top-rank-ing quintets in the race for the 1940-41 championship. Lacking in reserye strength, Rushville’s .chances holding the top rung of the conference ladder appear none too bright. The titleholders of last season have three regulars back but Céach Robert Hinshaw is having a hard time finding replacements for the half ot his

:|squad that was lost by graduation.

Back this year are Pearsey, Sharpe and Young, three players with twp years’ experience, who are bound to play an important part in any success of the new season. Young, lanky -six-foot-two center, topped conference scorers as a sophomore two years ago. Columbus is labeled by many as the “team to beat” for conference honors. The Bulldogs, finishing second last season, had a 10-man squad intact to start the new, thus holding a big advantage over opposing loop schools. : Welch and Coleman are high scor-

ers of the Bulldogs while Stearman was an outstanding sophomore last year. Welch was third among ccnference point getters Quring the 1939-40 season.

Coach George Boots las his protegees off to a flying start with three victories tucked away. These three wins include one conference victory over Seymour,

Another strong team seems in the making at Franklin which enjoyed only a mediocre season last year after copping the conference title the year before and being runnerup for the state championship. The Vandivier-coached club is undefeated in four encounters and has disposed of Greensburg and Shelbyville in conference play. Jones and Campbell are two returning regulars and form the nucleus of the new Grizzly Cub machine. Crowe, a wmemper of the famous family of basketball players, has moved up from a reserve post. He is a brother of George Crowe, all-state center in 1939.

Material Is Plentiful

Shelbyville, with a new coach, is much stronger. Frank Barnes, formerly of Jeffersonville, who took over the Golden Bears this fall, is

f |expected to mold a serious contend-

er down Shelby County way. He has five veterans back and a wealth of material from last year’s second team, losers in only cne game. Page, Peck and McComas, the latter an outstanding sophomore last year, are the strong men of the Shelbyville club. Greencastle is a conference club which will bear watching and may be counted upon for many upsets. The Tiger Cubs have most of their old team back and experience may prove a big factor in their play. The competition is tough on Chester Elson’s squad with Crawford, Coffey, Hammond, York, Conklin, Houch and Agnew, all veterans, fighting for starting positions. Greensburg is seeking better for-

tunes in the net world under a new:

mentor. Tom Downey, formerly of Rossville, has taken over the Tree City reins. Norwald, Eineman and Stutz are regulars returning from last year, with Klene, Moller .and Demoss, substitutes.

Seymour May Surprise

Although hard hit by graduation, Seymour may be the surprise team of the conference. The Owls led the

loop for over half of last year's}

season only to loes three important tilts near the close and drop down the ladder. Seymour has the veteran Gwinnup back, along with Sparks and Mullencamp, substitutes last vear. Connersville is another South Central club suffering heavily ‘on the graduation rolls. Miller and Foreman were the only regulars left over on which Coach Mose Pruitt can build his new aggregation. Lost was Tressler, conference scoring champion in 1939-40.

No team has, but A. and M. needs only a tie with Texas to put away the pieces of that broken custom.
