i LONGHORN Pete Layden, Texas halfback. I^ayden is a member of the Long horn herd that ravaged the South west for weeks before an under dog Baylor rose to tie them and Texas Christian bowled them over. Layden is a hard-running, accurate passer, and better than par punter. He’ll be trying plenty of bull-dozing tackles against Tex’s wandering Webfoots come Saturday. • Cutler Sweeps Handball: Wins Singles Crown Chuck Cutler made it a clean sweep in all-campus handball yesterday when he beat Jim Rathbun, 21 to 17, 21 to 13, to win the singles crown. Cutler had previously teamed with Bobby Blair to cop the doubles title. Yesterday’s match was the toughest Cutler had played to date. He had marched through the earlier without meeting much competition, and with out dropping a game. Play in the golf and tennis competition has been stymied for the last week by rain but has reached the finals and is ex pected to be finished as soon as weather permits. Ping-pong Singles The ping-pong doubles is com pleted with Norm Wiener and Bob Whitely the champs. Whitely will be out for a double killing in the sport when he tangles with Irvin Mann in the singles finals. D Us, ATOs Cep ‘B’ League Tilts Intramural volleyball hit the playoffs yesterday with a banrr, and sparks were still flying when the play was over. The “A” teams from the Phi Delts, ATOs, and Sigma Chis advanced over the first rung of the playoffs with well earned victories, while the “B” teams of the DUs and the ATOs were also hanging up wins. Phi Delts Win The Phi Delts, defending "*schamps, won a classic from a de termined DU team. Led by Ed Niklas and Jack White, the DLJ team swept through a hapless Phi Dolt team in the first game, 35 to S. They grabbed a lead in the second game and seemed on the way to a win when the Phi Delts came to. Behind the sparkling play of Gabby Galbreaith, the Phi Delts evened lip the score and then moved ahead to win the sec ond one, 15 to 13, The last game was a nip and tuck af fair with the defending champs finally grabbing the decision, 15 to 11. Galbreaith played marvelous ball, blocking shots perfectly and flamming unstoppable spike shots. Sweethearts Victorious The Sigma Chi combination of Chuck Thompson and Dick Burns was a little too much for Ossie Rejfield and his SAEs, as the ‘Sweetheart” boys walked off with the decision, 15 to 12, 15 15 to 9. The ATOs eliminated the Theta Chis from the playoffs with a convincing 15 to 4, 15 to 8 win. Bill Huggin and Ox Wil son took over the offensive task f«* the ATOs and were more than enough to beat the Theta Chis. In 4B’ Play In the “B” play, the DUs won a MNNUin See This Fine Entertain ment!

MOVED OVER BETTY DAVIS and HERBERT MARSHALL in 'LITTLE FOXES' Two Fine Shows The Dead End Kids in 'Hit the Road' — also — 'Jungle Girl' with Francis Gifford Crain, Layden Spearheads Of Vaunted Texan Attack By WALLY HUNTER University of Oregon’s Texas-bound Webfoots stopped off in Tucson Arizona last night long enough for the University of Arizona to fete the Ducks and their mentor, Tex Oliver. Today the Austin-conscious Oregons will whip off in the direction of El Paso, Texas, and from there to the home of the fearsome Uni versity of Texas Longhorns. The Ducks are expected to come to rest in Austin Friday. Biggest questions about the Webfoot squad is the condition of Halfback Tommy Roblin, Oliver’s breakaway specialist. The shoul der that “Terrible” Tommy in jured in the Oregon State game is still in the questionable state. It is doubtful if he will be able to participate in the festivities. Texas Star-Studded When the Ducks hit the trail in pursuit of the wild and woolly Longhorn it would help no end if every man on the squad were in good physical condition. Coach Dana Bible has under his wing one of the most star-studded ag gregations that has ever lugged the colors of the University of Texas into battle. Burnished spearpoint of the Steer attack is a chubby whip pet named Cowboy Jack Crain. The Cowboy’s amazing ability to change his pace in the flicker of an eyelash has had would-be tacklers groveling in the turf all season. His free - wheeling victory sprints have been an earmark of f nearly every Longhorn victory this season. Crain besides being one of the most feared runners in the nation also quick kicks and passes with the cream of the crop. Layden Triple-Threater After Crain loosens up the de fense with his defense-blinding runs, in steps John Peter Layden, Steer captain. Big Pete clutches the ball firmly in both hands and then proceeds to make gaping holes in the defense. Layden be sides being a line shredder de luxe possesses the finer qualities of a triple threat back. His picking and long passes have been one of the outstanding features of football played the Texas way. In the line—but not hidden even a little by the lustrous backs, Crain and Layden — is chunky Chal Daniels. Daniels has a “sitting room only” sign tacked on the front of his hel met, and that is where the op posing linemen usually finds himself at the end of a play— sitting.
