Lloyd Gregory
Writes About
Frank Guess
Frank Guess, brilliant, versatile
Wharton athlete, is reported bound
for The University of Texas, Lloyd
Gregory writes in his Post column,
“Looking ’Em Over.”
Here is what Gregory has to say:
Many things can happen between
now and next September, but Guess
just now favors the Longhorns.
Another Wharton product, Hnr-
rison Stafford, great blocking and
defensive back, is an ali-timb orange
and white performer. Guess may
rival Stafford’s accomplishments.
Guess certainly is one of the
most versatile performers the Lone
Star state, cradle of great athletes,
has produced:
Frank plays tailback, and is a
fine kicker and passer. He weighs
170, is fast and sturdy.
Frank excels in basket ball, and
can turn in a fair job in every
event in track and field. He was
credited with a high jump of 6 feet,
4M inches at the recent district
meet at Victoria.
Frank also is an outstanding
baseball and tennis player.
Guess, apparently, has the stuff
to become the first four-letter ath-
lete of Longhorn history, although
major schools nowadays are in-
clined to limit an athlete to two
«ports, on the theory he ought oc-
casionally to look at his books.
• » *
In high school, Guess w-as a big
rival of Virgil Eikenberg, former
Holing high flash, who will carry
. the mail next fall for Jess Neely’s
Rice Institute Owls. Some observers
■figure Eikenberg next fall will
prove one of the most sensational
sophomores of Southwest confer-
ence history.
