State Executive Committee reclass-
ify League conference, making
such charges as might be necessary
to insure equal competition In all
conferences.
The question of spring training
for Conference A was also brought
up, but the action was limited to the
recommendations that the spring
training question be submitted to
all conferences for vote if reclass-
ification of schools and conferen-
ces is voted by the Executive Com-
mittee. A majority vote of aH
schools would determine the spring
training question for all conferen-
ces. A majority vote could, under
the terms of this recommendation,
result in the abandonment of
spring training in all conferences,
or its authorization for all.
In the Sundty session, the Coun-
cil recommended to the Executive
Committee and to member schools
(who will have to vote in a
ferendum if the committee appro-
ves the Council’s recommendation)
that high school persennel and fac-
ilities not be used directly or in-
directly in the coaching, managing
or presenting of any all-star game
except those sponsored by the an-
nual coaching school of the Texas
High School Coaches Association
The Monday session was also
marked by the recommendation by
the Council that awards rules be
revised. Under the proposal by the
Council, the limit on awards for
students would be raised to meet
rising costs of sweaters and other
awards, from $10 for non-senior
competitors and $15 for seniors,
to $15 for all competitors receiv-
ing major awards. The schools
would also be permitted to give
competitors minor symbolic awards
(chenille letters, monogramed let-
ters or emblems) not to exceed $2
in value, for each additional In-
tersrholastic league, activity in
which the student "letters.”

Texarkana Wins District with
Unbeaten and Untied Record
Br UNITED PRESS
Texarkana wiped out the last
vestige of doubt anyone might
have had about its District 9-AA
championship last night, while
Dallas Sunset moved a step closer
to the City Conference district
title it is favored to win.
By beating Kilgore 27-0, Tex-
arkana closed out its district
schedule as one of the state’s un-
defeated-untiod powers and now
has only its annual cross-town
grudge battle with Texarkana,
Ark., before moving into the A A
playoffs.
Sunset Dallas Winner
Sunset’s 27-13 win over Crosier
Tech left the Bisons needing only
a win or tie over Woodrow Wilson
Nov. 23 to repeat as Dallas champ-
ion and move into the CC playoffs
against Fort Worth Arlington
Heights.
Atlanta In District 16-A put
the pressure on Dekalb, with which
It has been tied for the lead, by
downing Linden 30-13. Dekalb now
most beat New Boston tonight or
Atlanta will win the title and a
playoff berth. If Dekalb wins, the
two clubs will be tied, but Dekalb
will get the playoff spot by virtue
of penetrations in a 13-13 tie be-
tween them.
Houston Lamar kept its hopes
alive for a tie in the Bayou City
district with a 62-0 romp over
S. F. Austin, and now will be
rooting for San Jacinto to defeat
Reagan tomorrow night to leave
I-amar, Reagan and San Jacinto
in a deadlock.
San Antonio Brackenridge sound-
ed a loud warning to defending
state champion Jefferson in the
Alamo City district with a 66-14
w i n over San Antonio Tech.
Brackenridge and Jefferson meet
next Thursday for the title.
In non-title games last night the
Austin Maroons traveled 600 miles
to El Paso to defeat El Paso High
60-12 and the Temple B team noscu
out Belton 18-12.
8ixteen Class A titles hang in
the balance in games scheduled
today and tonight, while Class
A A and City Conference divisions
also have crucial games on tap.

were heck in that old, familiar
role today—the underdogs in their
third 6*>AA clash. This time the
Jackets will meet Wentherfeid’s
Kangaroos on Memorial FUld.
The game will begin et 8 p. m. to-
night.
No conference title hlngee on
the title. For the Jackets, it wiH
determine Whether or not they will
end up 6th ,ln a 6 team race—or
third—possibly second.
Weatherford, the team that al-
most knocked off the powerful
Cleburne Yellow Jackets leat Fri-
day night, has lost te both Cle-
burne end Brackenridge, but hold
an 1$ te 0 win over Graham. The
Jackets have lost to Mineral Wells
and Brackenridge, and have yet
to win a conference tilt. The Kan
garoos dropped a 41-0 game to
Breckenridge, while Step henville
led the Bucks at half time and
remain the only team in the state
to score more than once against
the Buck*. In fact, only Crozier
and 8tdf>henville have erossed the
Buck goal Hue. Abilene couldn’t
do it, Wichita Fallz couldn't do it.
Mineral Wells, Weatherford, Riv-
erside and Brownwood couldn’t do
it.
The Kengsroa, coached by W. W.
Emmons and Georgie Brownlee,
have defeated Ranger, Ennis, Croz-
ier Tech, Waxnhaehie, Graham.
They have lost only to Brecken-
ridge (0-41) and Cleburne (6-18)
in conference play, but dropped a
tilt to Adamson (6-7) in early sea
•on play. Their schedule has not
been impressive, but their deter-
mined fight abainst Cleburne was
impressive. Only a last-gasp aer-
ial pulled the game out of the
fire for the Cleburne Yellow Jac-
kets.
Stephenville, on the other hand
dropped one conference tilt they
should heve won. That was to
Mineral Wells, 7 to 13, in the last
minutes of play. The Jackets were
“down” after being “up” against
Breckenridge the previous week.
They played Breckenridge off their
twics, let down
•Bow the Bucks to run wild, then
lightened up in the fourth to play
on even terms. They dopped a
tilt to Arlington Heights and
Sweetwater, but defeated Brown-
wood. The Brownwood team later
defeated Midland.
AU year long the fans have ex-
pected te see the Jackets catch
fire. Inexperienced, light and in
ury-riddled, the little team has
shown sparks of greatness at
times, but has not been able te
play consistent football. They may
be “up” tonight', as is natural for
a team that was “down” the weak
before—and they may eatch fire.
But, still they are the under-
dogs.
Robert Langley, injured fullback,
and Jimmy Howell, will be lucky
to see much action the remainder
of the season,' Stick Morris, de-
fensive half, is out for the season.

and tackles at each other Sat-

Owls tangle with the rugged
Texas A and M Aggies at Col-
lege Station Saturday afternoon.
• The Owls’ regular offensive

lot of ball opposite his younger
brother, Jack, the Aggies’ de-
fensive right tackle.
Rice’s Little, who is 21, is
six feet tall and weighs a solid

19, is six-foot, four inches tall
and tips the scales at 226. Both
are sophomores, Gene having
lost a year when he transferred
to Rice from another school.
Both played two years to-
gether in high school, but sep-
arated when they started to col-
lege.

Austin, Nov. fl.—rn—Univer-
atty of Texas Athletic Director
Dana X. Bible said today that
Cotton Bowl officials have been
given a "free rain”- in lining up a
prospective opponent fer the New
Yearns Day gridiron battle from
a list submitted by Texas.
Bible pointed out that Texas,
favored to win the Southwest Con-
ference crown, submitted it* list
lit line with a conference rule re-
quiring the Cotton Bowl to sound
out on Nov. 16 all schools having
a mathematical chance at the title.
He said Texas Sent the Cotton
Bowl a list of “a whole lot of
•ehoole.” Bible would not name
any of them.
However, he left no doubt that
the list included the top-ranking
teams in the nation.
“Thera are 16 or 29 teams that
would be desirable,’' be aaid.
“You coud pick them,” Bible
said “ Anybody on the Street could
pick them by raiding the paper."
.“We gave • the Cotton Bowl a

TODAT’S SPORTS PARADE
By OSCAR FRALEY, United Preu Sporti Writer
New York, Nov. 17, —Jack
Dempsey, who twice made ,the trip
from rags to riches, blamed his
five famed million dollar gates
today for the evil days which have
fallen on boxing.
The former heavyweight champ-
ion earned more than $5,000,000
as the greatest puncher the ring
ever has known. He blew most of
it, but now has made a financial
comeback through oi) and real
estate to where once again he is
a millionaire.
But it Is thofce long-gone millions
*1 whieh the Manassa Mauler con-
demns as the reason for boxing’s
current ailments, with its racket
domination and “futile elub fight-
ers and Fancy Dane.”
“My big gates did more to com-
mercialise boxing than anything
else in pugilistic history," Demp-
sey asserts in ’ "Championship
Fighting,” his new book on the
“lost” art of self defense, edited
by Jaek Cuddy, noted boxing auth-
ority. “They transformed boxing
into a big-time business. As a com-
mercial enterprise, the fight game
attracted people who knew little
or nothing about self defense.
“They came -as promoters, man-
agers, trainers and even instruc-
tors,” he adds. “They joined the
gold rush in draves—professional
men, clothing manufacturers,
butchers, bookies, racket gufys and
pool hall hangers-on.”
Dempsey’s theory is that the
knowing old-timers were crowded
out by “glib-talking huatlers” who
miataught the youngsters.
“The tide ef Palooka experts
swept into the amateurs, where
lack of knowledge among instruc-
tors today is as pathetic as among
professional handlers,” he charges.
Passes to Fly
In Oklahoma,
Missouri Tilt
Norman, Okla., Nov. 17, (W—One
of the biggest aerial battles in the
Midwest is expected tomorrow
when Oklahoma, in quest of its
29th consecutive victory, tak.es on
Missouri.
Some 45,000 fans are expected
to flock to Norman for the annual
game* between the teams of
“Teacher” Don Faurot of Missouri
and his most apt student, Bud
Wilkinson.
Faurot taught Wilkinson the
famous “split-T” formation while
the two were coaching at Iowa
Naval Pre-Flight in 1943. Wilkin-
son liked the "split-T” so well he’s
used it ever since.
In the three times since 1947
that Oklahoma and Missouri have
met, “Student” Wilkinson’s "«plit-
T” has always won. But both are
expected to drop the ground-gain-
ing tactics of the “spHt-T” to-
morrow and resort to the airways.

‘Crucial’ This
Possibilities
By ED FITE
UalM Pran Sparta Writer.
This is the crucial week-end ia
the oouthwest Conference. If,you
don’t believe it, ei .wider that, af-
ter tomorrow’s three games, Tex*
as coula, —or could hot— have
clinched the title and a Cotton
Bowl hid. ■
Or thft six »=ams could—of
could not—still have a mathemati-
cal, theoretical shot at the' con-
ference championship.
Confusing ' but true'. Tho foi »i
sheet soys that neither extreme is
likely to come about.

Texas is favored by 18)4 points
over Texas Christian at Fort
Worth; Texas AAM by 14V4 over
Rice at College Station, and South-

em Methodist by 18H over Ark-
ansas at Little Rock.
But, just let your imagimtioa
wander a bit.
If Texas Wins and Texas AAM
loses, Coech Blair Cherry’s Long*
horns could pack up their first
conference title to five years end
the pressure would be off when
they met the Aggies at Austin
Nov. 30. Of course, Texas would
get the Cotton Bowl host team
bid.
U Texas wins and AAM wins,
Texas will have clinched e co-
championship, but the Aggies stQl
could tie for the title end win
the Cotton Bowl bid for them-
selves by beating Texes Nov. 30.
If Texes loses, end AAM wins,
the traditional Longhorn - Aggie
’fracas would be for the title with
the bowl bid to the winner.
CoaM Get Complicated
If Texes loses end AAM loses,
TCU and Baylor could share
it with the Longhorns sad Aggies,
or either of them could do it.
Seme Combination Out *■'.
But, there could be no combina-
tion of SMU and either TCU of
Baylor, or Rice end either TCU
or Baylor—fer they still must
play eeeh other and would, to
effect, wage an elimination among
themselves.
Or, SMU, Baylor, Rice and TCU
could win one and lose ene. That
would leave Texas and the Aggiea
tied for the title with the Aggiea
going to the Cotton Bowl.
Now, If one or both ef tomor-
row's games involving Texas and
Texas 4AM should end to n tto—
Pass the aspirin, and on that
note we’ll guess that this week’s
games will endi
Texas 21,’TCU 13.
Texas AAM 27, Rice 7.
SMU 33, Arkansas 13.
“To a menacing extent the major
purpose of fistic instruction has
been bypassed by amateur tutors
who try to benefit themselves-fi-
nancially by producing punchless
performers who can win on points.”
Dempsey, who shatters all box-
ing precepts with the theory that
fighters are made, not born, also
insists that:
L Gene Tunney was a good
puncher.
2. He felt “like a baby” the day
he talked into the ring at Toledo,
O., and got his first look at the
245-pound giant named Jess Will-
ard.
“Many fight fans have the
wrong impression, but don’t ever
let anyone toll you Tunney couldn’t
punch,” Dempsey writes of his
two-time conqueror.
"In our first bout at Philadel-
phia, where Gene wrested the title
from me, he landed a counter right
to the bead that staggered me
early in the first round," Demp-
sey recalls. “I didn’t recover fully
from that punch during the rest of
the fight.
“At Chicago, in our second
fight,” the former champion adds,
"Gene drove me to one knee with
a head blow in the eighth round.
Mind you, that was after I’d floor-
ed him for the ‘long count’ to the
seventh. Indeed, I found Gentle-
man Gene surprisingly explosive.”
Of the Willard fight, to Which
he knocked out the giant Jets to
win the heavyweight crown,
Dempsey reveals that while his
weight was announced at 187 he
actually weighed 180 — spotting
Willard 65 pounds.
"I won’t say I was scared aa I
gated at Willard,” he confesses,
“but I’ll admit I .began to wonder
if I packed enough dynamite to
blast down that man mountain.”
That he did is boxing history.
And now the man regarded by
many as the greatest champion of
all time is writing another chapter
with a book which flays the cur-
rent crop of "Fancy Dans” and
gives minute instruction to the
kids who would tike to resurrect
the ancient ways and punch with
powar.
