One was to Villarreal for 17 yards and a touchdown in the second quarter. Ford's second touchdown toss was to Doke for 19 yards which gave H-SU a 21 to 7 lead in the final quarter. Between Ford's two touchdown passes K. Y. Owens bucked across from one yard out in the third quarter. Tulsa's scores came in the latter part of the second and fourth periods. 27 - H-SU vs. NEW MEXICO A. M. — 0 Joel Combs churned five yards for the first touchdown after the Cowboys covered a fumble on the Aggie 11. Quarterback Gene Saur passed 38 yards to End Bob Womack for the second TD to give H-SU a 13-0 halftime lead. The Cowboys tallied third-period markers on a 32 yard pass from Freshman Quar- terback Kenneth Ford to Jim Flaming and a five-yard smash by Rodney Williams after Flaming set it up with a 57 yard romp through the Aggies. JOE PAT McHANEY 0 — H-SU vs. TRINITY —14 Trinity scored their first touchdown in the first stanza when quarterback Alvin Beal hit end Roger Douglas in the end zone with a flat pass. The second touchdown came early in the second quarter. The remainder of the game was played with outstanding defensive play by both teams. I. C. COLLINS ART CUNNINGHAM Fifteen Rahs for the Cowboy Team! 7 — H-SU vs. NORTH TEXAS STATE COLLEGE — 20 The Cowboys put on a dazzling offensive show in the second half after being be- wildered by the sudden flourish of Eagle TD's in the first period. The Cowboys racked up 15 first downs to North Texas 10, and out passed the victors 121-85, but NT ground out 180 yards to H-SU's 92. Get one! Just any ot them! 13 — H-SU vs. CINCINNATI — 27 Hardin-Simmons University Cowboys, four touchdown underdogs, scared the mighty University of Cincinnati Bearcats, but finally fell to the undefeated Ohioans, 27-13. Wingback T. R. Baack and Halfback Charles Massegee led the Cow- boys offensively. Baack scored both C swboy touchdowns on air passes, one each from quarterbacks John Henry Lyle and Kenneth (Model-A) Ford. DAVID NELSON 13 — H-SU vs. OKLAHOMA A. M. — 7 Kenneth Ford's brilliant passing gave the Cowboys both of their touch- downs. Ford hit end Gerald Sealey with an 11-yard scoring pitch in the sec- ond quarter to put H-SU out front, sacking the game with a 5-yard payoff pitch to end Connie Baird in the final period. 13 — H-SU vs. ARIZONA STATE — 14 Hardin-Simmons scored in the second period when center Sammy Wal- ker picked up a blocked punt and scatted 20 yards for a touchdown but Charles Massegee missed the conversion. K. Y. Owens made the second Hardin-Simmons touchdown in the period with a 4-yard plunge and Carlos Berry converted. Other attempts were made, and in the closing seconds, the Pokes died on the one-foot line. DONAL GILSTRAP 7 — H-SU vs. TEXAS WESTERN MINERS — 20 Texas Western Miners capitalizing on all three breaks, clipped the Har- din-Simmons Cowboys 20-7 in one of the most successful homecoming games in years at Kidd Field in El Paso. With 35 seconds remaining in the game, the Cowboys scored on a des- peration pass from Gene Saur to Jim Vaughn which covered 51 yards. 33 — H-SU vs. WEST TEXAS STATE COLLEGE — 27 The game's first score came after three minutes. This score was made by West Texas halfback Bob Covington. This was the only score made during the first quarter. In the second quarter, the first Cowboy score came when Saur passed to Vaughn. By half time, the Buffaloes managed to rack up 20 points to the Cowboys' lone touch- down. However, during the second half, the Pokes allowed the Buffaloes only one touch- down, somewhat reversing the picture. The Cowboys started their comeback late in round three. Rod Williams started the rally by making two hard-fought victory drives. With five minutes remaining in the last period, K. Y. Owens scored, making the Cow- boys trail by only one point, 26-27. In their attempt to push ahead for ultimate victory, the Ranchers tried an onside kick that worked beautifully. In a matter of seconds, the H-SU eleven scored the final touchdown, which marked them as the paydirt kids, to the tune of 33 to 27. 19 — H-SU vs. TEXAS TECH — 61 Aside from a startling and momentarily disconcerting 80-yard pass that gave the Cowboys a 7-0 lead after 70 seconds of play, Tech was in com- mand completely. Halfbacks Jojo Bryan and Ronnie Herr each scored twice for Tech, with halfbacks M. C. Northam and Rick Spinks going over once, quarterbacks Johnson and Jack Kirkpatrick scoring once and end Don Waygood crossing on Tech's only touchdown pass. Charles Massegee, brilliant freshman half- back, tallied twice for the Cowboys, with halfback Rod Williams going over for the other. 954 DooAaU eaAon Hardin-Simmons University 21 Hardin-Simmons University 27 Hardin-Simmons University 0 Hardin-Simmons University 7 Hardin-Simmons University 13 Hardin-Simmons University 13 Hardin-Simmons University 13 Hardin-Simmons University 7 Hardin-Simmons University 33 Hardin-Simmons University 19 Tulsa University 14 New Mexico A.

They got off to a bad start on the road by falling to Texas and Baylor but opened their home stands with a victory over Camp Carson Air Force Base. The entire season saw only 10 wins out of 25 efforts. The Cowboys finished fifth in Border Con- ference competition. Bob Tremaine, center and co-captain, earned a berth in the All-Border Conference Team. As a consolation and compensation for the sea- son, the 1955 Bronco can only repeat the sentiments of the 1954 Bronco: Wait till next year. All the boys will be back from this year's Junior-Sophomore lineup. The Pokes boasted no seniors this year. At least, we can hope for a brighter day tomorrow.

As never before in this student generation, and probably in Hardin- Simmons history, the intramural program has been kept before the student body. Through a full year of football, basketball, volleyball, ping pong, horse shoes, ten- nis, and other events, Mr. Longgrear has promoted the various games in a manner worthy of note. 9n tra m u ra id Will He Make It?
