But if one had to cram it all in, the one word would be "tops". Their game record was certainly one of the best in the history of Texas Mines, an eight- wen, one-tied, and one-lost record that will be hard to beat for the future Mines teams. The Miners came in second in the Border Conference, very near the top, and played in the Sun Bowl for ·the first time since 1937. Besides all this, the team as a whole topped the nation's grid elevens in rushing and scoring, and Mines full- back Fred Wendt set new national records in rushing, and scoring-all quite an accomplishment for a "minor" Standings Standings Game Record Border Conference All Games Mines Opponent w L T W L T 33 McMurry 14 Texas Tech 5 o o Texas Mines 8 1 1 35 Houston 7 Texas Mines 4 1 1 Texas Tech 7 3 o 21 West Texas 7 Arizona 3 2 o Hardin-Simmons 4 2 3 34 Brigham Young 20 Tempe 3 2 o Arizona 6 4 o 27 New Mexico 13 Hardin-Simmons 3 2 1 West Texas 6 5 o 27 Hardin-Simmons 27 West Texas 2 3 o Tempe 5 5 o 6 Texas Tech 46 Arizona 14 Flagstaff 1 2 o Flagstaff 4 5 o 25 New Mexico 1 6 o N.
