DISTRICT 22-A BASKETBALL BEGINS TUE. NIGHT
Camp Hulen Grid Team Stays In Sugar
Bowl Running By Beating Fort Clark
Camp Hulen’s 33rd Brigade Coast
Artillery football team defeated the
50th Cavalry of Fort Clark Friday
night in a tilt at Wharton, 12 to 6,
and remained in the running for the
Sugar Bowl game at New Orleans
Gray of Fort Clark was credited
wilh a 76-J’ard dash in the first
quarter. The 33rd came back with
40-yard scoring drive which ended
with Brady plunging over from the
2. Thompson also showed up well
in lugging the leather.
Camp Hulen did not break the
deadlock until the last quarter when
Rubenficld intercepted a Fort Clark
pass on his 30 nnd the Huleners
staged a 70-yard touchdown drive
Rubinfield plunged across for the
marker.
This game was one of the climi
nation contests between Army bri-
gades over the country with the
finalists slated to play in the Sugar
Bowl at New Orleans.
What a wonderful time of year Christ-
mas is. What a wonderful thing good

SPEAKING OF
CHESS . . .
By MORRIS BAKER
4
Around the concuvc side of u
great “U”-shaped arrangement of
game tables moved u short, stocky,
mild mannered man of middle age.
On the convex, nnd at each table,
sat some thirty-odd persons intent-
ly scrutinizing the chessmen on the
boards before them. The exhibition
room at the Houston Recreation
Center hud an atmosphere of pleas-
ant tenseness. George Koltonowski,
the Belgian master, was giving an
exhibition.
As Mr. Koltonowski came to each
table the player moved a piece. The
master quickly appraised, moved,
and passed to the next table. For
two and a half hours play continu-
When it stopped Mr. Koltonow-
ski had justified the tenseness, and
verified his renown as one of the
best chess players on this continent.
He lost only one game, and that to
Franz David, brilliant young Aus-
trian.
James R. Selkirk and your cor-
respondent, representing the local
club, made the trip to Houston ac
companied by our ladies. The master
played Jimmy a Queen’s Pawn
Opening for mate In 39 moves, and
the writer resigned an Evans' Gam-
bit on the 30th move. The entire
evening was a gem in my chess ex-
periences.
The only woman in the lists was
Mrs. Frank Alien of Houston. Mrs.
Allen will be remembered as Miss
Helen Livengood, daughter of Dr.
and Mrs. B. L. Livengood of this
city. At the finish of their contest
the master personally congratulated
Mrs. Allen on the skill and coolness
with which she conducted her game.
Bay City chessdom doffs its re-
spective hats to Richard Mallard,
winner of the 1941 Matagorda Con-
gress Tournament. Of 5 series, 3
games each, Richard won 4% series,
total of 1114 games, played for
some 26% hours of arduous chess.
remarkable feature of this
achievement is that Richard played
his first game of chess last Feb-
ruary.
By_ defeating Pat Kristenik
Thursday evening last, Richard
gained the top. Pat lost the first
clash in a stunning defeat. Rising
to superlative heights Pat literally
played M “off his feet” to take the
second. In the. third Pat made an

Eagle Lake Tangles With Brahmas
While El Campo Meets Wharton
May God Speed The Day When Battles
Will Be Fought On Athletic Fields
Sports took it back seat this week as war clouds quickly
gathered and exploded in the Pacific.
Texas’ smashing victory over Oregon and Texas A. &
M.’s conquest of Washington State, important as they were
and are in our sporting world, seem insignificant indeed to
the really great battle that got under way Sunday morning.
This battle, unlike our athletic contests, knows no rules
and has no time limit. Unlike our contests, it was promulgated
by a treacherous enemy. Unlike our contests, we must shed
blood, take blood, and make extreme sacrifices to win.
The Japs started it . . . and by all that stands for
decency and righteousness in this world, the United States
will finish it!
Then, and only then, battles will not be spoken in the
harsh sense of the word. Again they will be friendly contests;
they will be fought on the athletic field, as they should be.
May God speed the day!

Basketball gets under way in Dis-
trict 22-A, of which Bay City and
Boling are members, Tuesday night,
according to a schedule released to
this corner by Harroll Stevens, sec-
retary of the district athletic com-
mittee.
From what we can gather, Rosen-
berg, Wharton, and El Campo will
be strong. The Wharton attack will
star the irresistible Frank Guess,
who was ineligible for footbal this
year.

Because of the new set-up,
basketball attendance and interest
in this section is due to increase.
Through last year, Bay City, for
instance, played other teams in Mat-
agorda County for the county
championship; now, Bay City is in
a league of schools of equal size
and of a larger area.
Thus a new era in winter sports
has begun, in the opinion of many
sports, including Coach Meyers.
