...Willie Pep was the old master, a crafty, shifty infighter who could stand on an opponent's insteps while he cuffed, punched and elbowed him to defeat.

Moreover, on the record, the only man of modern times who could beat Willie was the man who took away Willie's title of Featherweight (126 Ibs.) Champion of the World three years ago, Sandy Saddler.

After the usual locomotives and siss-boom-bahs, a speaker took the floor -the grey-thatched chairman of the board of regents, 72-year-old Houston Oil Tycoon Hugh Roy Cullen. A onetime $3-a-week candy salesman who wildcatted his way to one of Texas' biggest fortunes, Cullen never went to college, but he takes great pride in his adopted university. The week before, Houston had defeated Baylor 37-7, and Cullen was still aglow with the triumph...
