Dallas Bound Lions Leave
Sunday for Cotton Bowl
With scarce Cotton Bowl ducats feverishly changing hands now
at several times face value, Penn State's celebrated 1947 gridmen
will board Pullmans Sunday night to begin their long junket to the
tap thing in football in many Nittany moons—the New Year's Cotton
Bowl fracas with Southern Methodist, naw less than two weeks off.
Billed in some circles as the "Democracy Bowl," this season's
Cotton contest pits the first
Eastern college against a South
western foe since Fordham faced
Texas A&M in the 1941 Bowl.
The Nittany eleven will also be
the first team with Negro mem
bers ever to play against whites
in Texas. Included in the Lion
entourage will be two Negro
players, wingback Wally Trip
lett and end Dennis Hoggard.
MIAMI
Last year State cancelled a
scheduled game in Miami with
Miami University because of a
ban against participation by
Negro players. Lion Coach Bob
Higgins, college officials, and
many nationally-prominent per
sons have indicated that they
are acutely conscious of the pre
cedent that will be set in the
Cotton Bowl.
Ike Gilbert, graduate manager
of athletics, revealed yesterday
that accommodations for the Nit
tany squad have now been se
cured at the Dallas Air Naval
Training base; this has a football
field which the Lions will use in
their final week of preparation.

By Tom Morgan
toast of the Southwestern Con
ference, several SMU Mustangs
are:
1 Tailback Doak Walker—lead
ing scorer on the team and in
the Conference (87 points), and
a mainstay on virtually every
major All-American team. Walk
er is hailed as an outstanding
signal caller, runner, passer,
punter, blocker, tackle and team
leader, all rolled into one.
Tailback Gilbert Johns on—
Walker's understudy whose forte
is accurate passing. He com
pleted 43 out of 78 passing at
tempts for a net gain of 565
yards and a completion record
of 55 percent during the past
season.
HALLIDAY
Sid Halliday—stalwart Mus
tang end who tips the scales at
195 and is the oldest man, at 25,
in the starting lineup. He caught
the touchdown pass in the last
20 seconds of the Texas Chris
tian game that enabled SMU to
tie the Frogs and remain unde
feated for the season.
Earl Cook—rugged 217-pound
guard who is playing his fourth
grid campaign with the Mus
tangs. He was a regular for the
past three seasons and gained
All-Amercian honorable mention
this year.
