By BOB WILKINSON
There’ll Still Be That Brother
Rivalry At Bay City-St. Thomas Tilt
The St. Thomas-Bay City came Friday night is the result of two
brothers—twins—wanting their teams to play each other.
We are all familiar with Tom and Vie Driscoll and the fact that
Tom was supposed to coach St. Thomas and Vic was supposed to coach
Bay City this fall. Vic succeeded Tom as head coach here several
years ago when the latter went to Greenville, where he guided the
destinies of the Class A A Lions for a couple of seasons.
Tom was named coach of the Toms last winter and took charge of
spring practice. Then, Tom and Vic got their heads together and
scheduled this tilt for Friday night, despite the fact that it's prettj
early in the season to play football.
“It will be a natural,” fans ejaculated. “Brother against brother!'
Really, the set-up looked perfect, although Vic, using his crying towe'
as usual, woefully predicted that we wouldn’t have much chance beatinj
the highly-regarded Toms.
* Maybe we wouldn’t have and maybe re won’t, but you could have
'bet your last bottom dollar that Vic would have pulled every trick out
of his years of football experience to beat his brother’s team. Fans like
good, clean, hard-fought rivalry, and they would have loved this contest.
Well, we’ve been speaking of what would have happened. As you
know, Tom and Vic both got leaves of absence from their respective
schools to work in a war production plant for the duration. Father
Allnoch, who has coached the Houston school for years, took back over
his old job, and E. J. Myers, Vic’s assistant, assumed the top spot here.
Now here’s the payoff: There’s still going to be that rivalry,
that brother against brother angle, in Friday night’s game. From
many reliable sources we've heard that Vic has been supplying
Myers with figures and charts in endeavoring to aid his assistant in
beating the St. Thomas eleven. Likewise, Tom has been dropping a
hint here and there to Father Allnoch.
And to cap it off, don’t be surprised if you see Tom and Vic at the
game, acting as able advisors to their successors when the going gets
tough. If their war work will permit, they’ll be here—don’t you worry.
El Campo Team Picked
By Many Railbirds To Be
One Of Best In District

Baylor vs. Army Flying Field at Waco.

Local Men Will
Officiate Ball
Game Tomorrow
Superintendent E. 0. Hutcheson
and Coach E. J. Myers announced
that local men would be used to
officiate in the Bay City-St. Thomas
football game here tomorrow night.
The officials probably will be
picked from this group: Mickey
Hart, Doc Parker, Earl Meharg,
Cuz Lee, and Brooksy Smith.
rees at El Campo.
Although the Birds have only
five lettermen, Jimmy Williams and
Silvan Dluhas, backs, and Victor
Vasicek, William Schulla, and
Johnnie Bowen, linemen, sports ob-
servers point out that Mitchell’s
men are in better condition and
spirit than any team in the loop.
Other prospects showing up well
in scrimmage include William
Schulla and Sidney Schutte, rangy
ends; Raymond Buckler and Olaf
Larsen, guards; Kenneth Goctsch,
center; Robert Meek and Wilbur
Raasch, backs.
Seven Starters On
Last Year’s Team
Will Be Absent
BLESSING SCHOOL OPENS
The Blessing school opens Mon-
day, it was announced by Super-
intendent George K. Nelson.
When the Bay City football team
steps out on the local gridiron Fri-
day night to meet the St. Thomas
Toms, fans will find out that seven
-tarters on last year's fine team
will be absent.
Gone via the graduation route
are Mac Johnson, big fullback who
has enrolled at Rice; Pint Carroll,
co-captain along with Johnson and
himself a backfield performer; A.
J. Ehlert, husky end who is now
battling far Uncle Sant’s Navy; Joe
Birkner, flashy guard now at Tex-
as A. & M.; Bobby Baker, one of
Bay City’s best all-time centers;
Dan O’Rear, whom, we hear, is in
an armed force; and Frank Swin-
ford, who has been lost to this
year’s team because of ineligibility.
Starters on last year’s team who
will hold down positions Friday
night are Earl Johnson, who has
been converted front end to full-
back; Middleton, who has been
switched from tackle to end; Spud
Shearer, who is holding down his
old job of blocking back, and Randy
Cox, who was a right half last year
but may see action at the tailback
slot.

"T\U PONT House Paint keeps
■*-' white houses white, because
this brilliantly white paint is
“self-cleaning. ” It forms a tough,
durable film which protects the
surface from rust, rot, or decay.
Like all paints, it collects dirt on
exposure to the elements. As time
goes on, however, a fine white
powder forms on the surface of
this new paint. This powder is
washed away by heavy rains,
carrying the dirt with it and
exposing a fresh white surface.
This self-cleaning process starts
after a few months of exposure
under normal conditions of wea-
ther, but may be delayed under
unusual dirt-collecting condi-
tions such as found in sooty in-
dustrial areas. Because the “self-
cleaning’’ process is gradual, tKe
wearing qualities of the paint
film are not abnormally affected.
