FOR WINNING TEAM
r: if rr
Thirty football aspirants had re-
ported for the first two days of the
fall training camp, according .to
Coach W. W. Gibson, with many
more expected to make an appear-
ance on the field by the end of
the week. Suits and other parapher-,-
nalia were issued Monday morning
with the workouts beginning that
afternoon at four o'clock, _
Prospects for a ’ winning eleven
are much brighter fc>r ’the,,Tigers
than was at first anticipated, due
to several husky lads reporting that
were unthought of before the 'open-
ing of "the training* session. It was
at first feared that the mentor
would have the task of working
with a very few heavy boys in the
forward wall, but there is enough
huskies on hand now to supply t^hs,
needs of the line positions, with
several "of the lighter ones expected
to stage a real battle for a coveted
position on the regular line-up.
The newly appointed coach is well
pleased with the turn-out thus far,
and displayed real enthusiasm by
sending his proteges through a
streneous workout the initial after-
noon. 1 »
Hartwell Minderman, manager of
the Tigers for last season, was on.
hand Monday morning and assisted
Coach Gibson in issuing parapher-
nalia to the football candidates. He
will assume the the same role this
year, and is a diligent worker in
the interest of the squad.
Monday afternoon’s practice con-
sisted mostly of calisthenics and
passing, but Tuesday, blocking re-
ceived the major attention^ Mr. Gib-
son has » announced that one hour
will be devoted to blocking every
afternoon.
All seven of the lettermen ‘re-
ported for the Monday drill, and
got down to real business right
away, not showing any signs of
thinking themselves superior in any
way. With the* likely material ou
hand and others yet to report, there
remains plenty of worries for last
year’s sqaud over their “cinch”, of
their lettered position.

DISORDER AND CONFUSION
1. i -
• The instability, confusion and disorder which unrestrained truck trans-
portation has brought about is responsible in large measure for much of the
distress in which all business finds itself today., Texas has moved to fund
a remedy and* all concerned in the welfare of this state and its institutions
should cooperate in the effort to restore stability and order to our trans-
portation systems.
v
The Texas Railroads, in these advertisements, have endeavored’Fto
place before the people of this state sonie of the reasons why the existing
laws, regulating motor transportation, should be upheld and enforced.
-s/ . ,f-
I. The railroads are necessary.,for the rsuceessfuL marketing of the
enormous production of this state, which is used and consumed in every
other state in the union.

Uniform, published, non-discriminaiory transportation service rates
are essential to the orderly conduct and welfare of business.
"1 ;•
Unregulated truck transportation inevitably results in discriminatory
charges and practices, rebating, unfair and unbusinesslike competitive
methods, bringing about losses and commercial insecurity.
The wholesaler, jobber, retailer and local merchant suffer from the
unfair competition of truckers and peddlers who; for the most part, are
non-residents, pay no taxes and contribute nothing to the community
welfare.
The farmer and agricultural producer must have at his command
facilities adequate to transport crops and produce which move long dis-
tances in large volume, at low cost, by rail.
2. The railroads build and maintain their own roadways, pay heavy
taxes for the support of state and municipal governments and institutions,
and expend millions of dollars for payrolls, materials and supplies. Rail-
road workers are substantial citizens, home owners, and valued members
of their communities.
3. Rail transportation is the most efficient and economical in existence
for the movement of traffic in volume by land.
4. Texas highways belong to the people and are built and maintained
at heavy cost. Their use for commercial purposes is a privilege, not a
right. They should be kept safe for general use and not prematurely
desjjoyed by heavy trucks.
5. The stability, security and orderly conduct of business require
reasonable control and regulation of all transportation agencies.
