Southern Methodist Attack Centers
On Sophomore Tailback Doak Walker
By Tom Morgan
Spearheaded by pass-slinging
Doak Walker, Southern Metho
dist's Mustangs will charge into
a staunch Penn State grid eleven
on New Year's with the razzle
dazzle brand of football typical
of the Southwest's cow country.
As with the Nittany Lions, it
will be the Ponies' initial appear
ance in the Cotton Bowl classic
(worth $40,000 to the host school)
even though the Bowl is located
in their Dallas back yard.
Mustang fans and Coach Matty
Bell have waited impatiently for
the return of their topflight tail
back, Walker, who, as a freshman
fireball in 1945, entered the SMU
lineup in the last four games and
made the all-Southwest Confer
ence team.
Returning this year to Mentor
Bell's fold after missing the 1946
season, Walker has paced the
Mustangs to an undefeated rec
ord and has crashed a flock of
All-American teams in the proc
ess. Associated Press, Interna
tional News Service and News
pap e r Enterprise Association
awarded him a first team berth
in their selections.
PASSES, TOO
Walker's passing ability has
spearheaded the Mustang attack
throughout the 1947 campaign.
At 175 pounds, the sophomore
tailback is the lightest man in
SMU's starting backfield, which
also includes Dick McKissack,
195 pounds, at fullback; Paul
Page, 180 pounds, at right half;
and Bob Ramsey, 195 pounds, at
quarterback.
On the line, veteran coach Bell
has four stalwarts who hit the
scales beyond the two-century
mark. Right tackle John Ham
berger tops the forwards at 220
pounds, while right guard Earl
Cook, at 217; left tackle Joe Eth
ridge, at 210, and left guard Floyd
Lewis, at 202, follow. Bracketed
at 195 pounds is right end Sid
Halliday, while left end Dick
Reinking scales 180 pounds and
center Cecil Sutphin 175.
The Nittany Lions will hold
only a 3-p9und edge in average
weight per man when the two
teams clash in Dallas. State's
powerhouse averages 203 pounds,
compared with SMU's mark of an
even 200 pounds.

MILT SIMON
Although pre-season dopesters
predicted Rice to cop the South
west Conferehce and become host
club in the Cotton Bowl, it was
Southern Methodist which blast
ed the Owls, 14-0, in its fourth
tilt of the year to assume the con
ference co-leadership with the
Texas Longhorns.
Then Walker sparked his grid
cohorts to a 14-13 win over Texas
to ice the title. It was a great
victory for Walker, who bested
Texas' Bobby Layne, his high
school chum, in a sterling per
formance.
Other Mustang victims this
year were Santa Clara, 22-6; Mis
souri, 35-19; Oklahoma A&M,
21-14; UCLA, 7-0; Texas A&M,
13-0; Arkansas, ,14-6, and Baylor,
10-0. In the final encounter,
SMU'S gridmen received a jolt
when Texas Christian held them
to a 19-19 tie.
Another harrier came into the
spotlight recently when Gil
Dodds, famous miler, named
Jerry Karver as one of the three
best runners in the Upifed State..
The other two are Jack Dianetti
of Michigan State . and Quentir
Brelsford of Ohio Wesleyan.

Diminutive Milton Simon
Cuts 'Giants'
By Elliot Krane
When the basketball team makes
Its debut Saturday night against
.Vashington and Jefferson, many
of the "soph-freshmen" students
will say, "What's that little blond
haired kid doing on the floor with
all of those tall basketball play
ers?" But right after the opening
whistle when the "little kid" ex
plodes into a jumping, racing,
play-making forward, the fans
will understand why Milton
Simon deserves a place on the
?enn State squad.
Ever since his grade school
days, Milt was plagued by jeers
and taunts whenever he wanted
t o play in a neighborhood game.
Once he started to play, the jeers
changed to cheers as he out
jumped even the tallest of the
opponents.
Starting on the courts when he
was ten, Simon and Wally Hatke
vich, who transferred t o Temple
last year, swept the 90 to 140
pound league championship and
later played on a winning inter
club team in Erie.
WINS HIS LETTER
When he found that he couldn't
make the high school team, Milt
played with an Erie city league
team that took the city champion_
ship in 1042. Trying to earn a high
school letter, Milt signed up for
the football team, but when the
coach saw the 102-pound candi
date he just laughed and wouldn't
give the flyweight athlete a uni-

form. The lake city boy finally
earned a letter, but it was award
ed to him for being manager of
the basketball team.
After finishing high school,
Milt, un-Jer the guiding hand of
Uncle Sam, decided that a sailor
suit was in the vogue, so he join
ed the Navy and was sent to Sel
fidge Field in Detroit. Even' while
in the service the electrician's
mate third class played basket
ball. When he was moved to the
Pacific area, Simon played in the
Central Pacific League against
such top performers as Dale Closs,
All-American from Rice; Jim
Pollard, now a professional eager,
and Dan Krauss, of Georgetown,
who played with the winning
team in this league.
Just three months after his dis
charge he enrolled at the Col
lege, and when his running mate,
Hatkevich, was discharged, Milt
persuaded Wally to enroll with
him.
Both Milt and Wally made +Jhe
squad in their freshman year, but
the following winter Temple U.
lured Hatkevich to Philadelphia
while Simon stayed with the Blue
and White team to score 146
points.
TEMPLE GAME
"Which game do I remember
most vividly?" said the College
junior. "Why, last year's Temple
game when they were heavy fa
vorites and we beat them by more
than 15 points.
"Although I scored only four

points in the entire game, I feel
that I never played such an all
around floor game in my life.. In
fact," he continued, "after that
game I was so keyed up that I
couldn't sleep for two nights."
"Mimi" (pronounced Mim), as
he is called by the folks in Erie,
scored his highest college mark,
17 points, in the Pittsburgh game
last year. The cries of "Banzai"
and "Chop-Chop" that he picked
up in the Pacific keep the team
on its toes throughout the game,
and whenever there is a fight for
the ball, Milt Simon, the sawed
off sparkplug, is sure t o be in the
center of it.
