TCU Readying for SWC Opener With PorkersFort Worth, Oct. 4—Special—
More poise and more purpose.Those were the twin objectives
on the TCU practice field this week as the Horned Frogs made ready for that make-or-break game— the Southwest Conference opener against the Arkansas Razorbacks. The old rivals roar together Saturday night in TCU Stadium at 8 o’clock.
Coach L. R. (Dutch) Meyer of the Christians, who rated the Arkansas game as “crucial” for his team at season’s start, has some definite ideas on what his Frogs must accomplish to have any rhance against the well-manned Ozark club.
“In beating Kansas and losing k) Oklahoma A&M,” he pointed out, “several things were evident. One was our greeness that resulted in costly mistakes. Those five

fumbles were decisive at Stillwater. We seem to have good offensive power but we’ll have to have more poise and determination to stay on the field with Arkansas.”
Evenly Matched On Paper On papbr, the Frogs and Pork
ers seem nvell matched. Both lost to the amazing Oklahoma A&M Aggies in almost identical ways. Arkansas lost 7-12 and the Frogs 7-13. Both roundly outplayed the Cowpokes in the- statistics but couldn’t score enough. Arkansas was impressive last week, however, in routing a good North Texas State team, 50-6.
Playing at home for the first time and with some of their cripples back in the lineup, the Christians may play their best game. Max Eubank, senior center who has yet to play a down, will see some duty. Capt. Clarence (Red) Marable, also yet to see his first action, may take the field.
And there is hope that one or both of the top right half-backs hurt at Kansas will be fit for duty. They are Johnny Medanich and Malvin Fowler. Medanich appears to have the best chance this week.
Morton—Fullback, Again Just to play it safe, Meyer plans
to continue running big John Morton at the spot. The 210-pound fullback did very well against Oklahoma A&M although he too made a few mistakes at the new position.

Bruisin ’Bob LeadsSWC Scorers Again
BASED ON AP REPORTSBruisin’ Bob Smith is still the
leading scorer in the Southwest Conference as he scored three more touchdowns against T'ech, bringing his total to 36 points.
Aggie End Andy Hillhouse is continuing to snag ground-gaining aerials, making two of these pay off for 12 points and a rating of third place among the SWC leading scorers. Hillhouse is tied with seven others.
Darrow Hooper’s educated toe has won a spot for him among the 12 SWC stars who have scored six points or more in the season. Having converted 10 of 12 attempts for point after touchdown scores, Hooper shows an efficiency rating of .833 and is fast becoming an expert in his own right.
A&M, Texas, and SMU have three members of their respective elevens in the top 12 scorers, while Arkansas, Rice and Baylor have only one each.
Gib Dawson, fleet Texas halfback, and H. N. “Rusty” Russell, SMU triple-threat, are tied for second place among the scorers, each crossing pay dirt three times.
Tied with Hillhouse for third place with a total of 12 points are Kyle Rote and Ben White, SMU; Byron Townsend and Ben Proctor, Texas; Bill Jutney, Arkansas; Billy Burkhalter, Rice; and Buddy Parker, Baylor.

New York' Oct. 4—UP)—Notre Dame still is the No. 1 college football team in the nation but it looks as if the Irish are going to have to do a lot more fighting to hold on to their cherished laurels this year.
The first Associated Press poll of the season found Frank Leahy’s lads at the top again—just where they left off last November.
But four other collegiate aggregations—Michigan State, Southern Methodist, Army and Oklahoma— are bunched righed behind the Irish, ready, and apparently able, to move up if Notre Dame should falter.
The South Benders barely nosed out North Carolina, 14-7, Saturday.
A total of 190 sports writers and broadcasters, representing a coast to coast panel, voted the Irish No. 1, with 1,500 points and 63 first place nominations.
Only eight points separated the next three elevens. Michigan State, surging to the fore in the strength of its Upset 14-7 triumph over mighty Michigan’ gained the No. 2 position with 1,298 points.
Two points behind came Southern Methodist whose passing cir cus accounted for a 32-27 triumph over Ohio State’s Rose Bbwl kings.
Army’s Black Knights, who struck like lightening against Colgate for a 28-0 victory, were Voted fourth place with 1,290 points. Oklahoma’s rebuilt Sooners gained the fifth ranking with 1,025 points.
Points were tabulated on a 10- 9-8-7, etc. basis with ten points for the No. 1 vote.
Of the first ten, only Washington failed to get a first place nomination. In all, 14 teams received at least one ballot for the No. 1 spot.The Top Ten (Number in Brackets

... and NEWSPAPERS Guard TrutliTruth, the mainstay of democracy, is constantly under fire from those within and without the strongholds of freedom, who would willingly destroy it. These people attack the truth as being false, or twist the truth to suit their own ends.
The newspaper is the main enemy of these democracy- killers. Without the newspaper’s integrity and strict attention to the facts and their meaning, freedom would probably be only a memory to Americans.
It is the duty of a newspaper to report truthfully and accurately the news about the world in which we live. In its editorial columns, the newspaper points out errors in the statements of those who would hide truth. The newspaper protects the American people from their enemies by awakening the people to the truth. Support your newspaper. It’s on YOUR side!
