Danas, Nov. 1§ «B—Phillip Evans,
a self-styled wanderer, will wear
the (dive drab uniform of an Aas-
ertaaa soldier instead of the striped
clothes of a convict—J«*t because
he chanced his mind.
Evans, who "believed” he was
about 22, eras charged with draft
evasion in Port Worth last month
when he could not show authorities
a Selective Service card.
The story he told was an odd one.
Corsicana, one of the state’s six
unbeaten and untied powers, was
lusyoed by twice beaten Temple
20-12 last night in a game that
set Temple up as the favorite to
take the 13-A A bunting.
Lubbock was outecered in a
thrilling offensive duel by Mid-
land. 38-38, to leave Odessa, 64-0
winner over Big Spring, as the
undisputed leader in S-AA.
Conroe knocked over Lufkin 19-
14 to take the 10-A playoff spot
although the two teams finished
in a tie for the district title.
Coyotes Still Most Beat Lions
Wichita Falls clinched a tie for
the 2-AA title by beating Chil-
dress, 38-0, but must win or tie
against Vernon next week to be
sure of a playoff berth. Vernon
defeated Quanah 20-7.
Highland Park all but sacked up
the 8-AA bunting with a 21-13 win
over Grand Prairie, but still must
get by McKinney, which beat Den-
ton 28-14.
Texarkana wound up its 9-A A
schedule unbeaten Thursday night,
while Baytown finished its sche-
dule untarnished last night with a
54-6 blast at Galveston.
Laredo and Alice moved into
their next week's 15-AA title game
with perfect district records, La-
redo downing Victoria 33-7 and
Aluke trimming Kingsville 19-7
last night.
Kerrville set the stage for a 14-
AA title game against Austin next
week by rolling up a 40-6 win over
Corpus Christi Ray.
Arlington Heights Through
In City Conference play. Arling-
ton Heights wound up its Fort
Worth schedule unbeaten with a
51-12 win over Tech and will mark
time until the Dallas district set-
tles its title race, now led by
Sunset.
Defending State Champion San
Antonio Jefferson rolled on unbeat-
en in district play with a 42-0
win over Alamo Heights to set
the stage for a showdown battle
with Bfeckenridge next week.
Reagan can win the Houston
playoff spot by beating San Jacin-
to tonight, but a San Jacinto vic-
tory would precipitate a likely
three-way tie involving those two
clubs and Lamar, which must still
meet Milby next week.
Port Arthur, Cleburne, Brecken-
ridge and Pampa among the un-
beaten and untied teams were idle
this week.

| CARD OP THANK B
* W* wish to thank tho fire de-
partment, neighbor* and frtonds
who so gallantly fought a mrlous
grass fir* Thursday aftamoon
around oar home and probably
saved us from a RMl la**.—Mr.
see a preponderonro of Southwest
victories.
Of. course, wo wouldn’t go so
far n* to call the Southwest Con-
ference teams the finest in the
world.
They’re Ju*t the finest in the
United States,
' Comes now an article by Stan
Opotowsky, United Press Sports
Writer, who must have played an
Michigan football team during hie
collage days—if ha want to callage.
This scribe claims that Michigan
plays the toughest football schedule
in the nation. Minnesota, says Opt.
owsky, is not far behind. As a lea-
gue. says the misinformed scribe,
the Big 10 is the country's tough-
est.
To which we answer:
Phooey.
Michigan plays nine games this
season. Five of the teams are ran-
ked nationally (conquerer of New
Mexico is first; Ohio State, de-
feated by Southern Methodist, is
third; Illinois, (where’s that?) is
eighth; Michigan State (they beat
Notre Dame but Notre Dame lost
to Purdue and Texas spanked Pur-
due with the greatest of ease—
as who hasn't besides Notrs
Dame?) is tenth.
Michigan’s average opponent
ranks 15th in the nation.
The one conclusion that we can
draw is that there’s something
screwey about the rankings.
There are too many sports wri-
t«<s east of the Mississippi, who
thintc the teams of the east are
better than the teams of the west,
and too few sports writers west of
of the Mississippi. When it's time
of the west arc better than the
teams of the cast.
Let’s run over that again.
There are more sports writers
east of the Mississippi than west
of the Mississippi. When it comet
to vote for the -number one team,
those Yanks just naturally gang
up on the Rebs.
At times, the Yanks are forced
to notice the Southwest Conference
teams. Not long ago they rated
SMU as the top team in the nation.
The Southern Methodist team had
a great passing attack, but South-
westerners—and even the SMU
coach—knew that Texas and Texas
A4M had too much power and too
much depth. So, SMU lost to both
j the power-house teams,
j The Southwest Conference is the
j toughest conference in the nation.
Look at what happened last Dec-
ember 3rd. Notre Dame, national
champions, picked on an SMU team
that finished 5th in its own confer,
once. Notre Dame was almost
knocked off.

He couldn’t reeall eventa of his
childhood and didn’t know who or
where his parents might be.
Evans explained he did not have
n draft card "because I never stay-
ad one place long enough to sign
up.”
Let's look at the Jackets for
a bit.
'Before the W set kerf ord game,
the Jackets had completed 18 of 48
pais** for 23* yard*. This gives
them an averaga of almost & yards
per toss, but a completion percen-
tage of approximately 41 per cent.
Completed peases have avereged
approximately 12-4 yards per com-
pletion. ’
The Jackets have gained 1,389
yards on the ground and allowed
foes to pick up 1,606 yards rush-
ing.

the Army or prison, he said 6alm-
ly: “It makes no difference."

soldier might be better than that of

. Falfurriaa, Nov. 18. HB—An offic-
ial canvass by eounty commission-
ers yesterday revealed that 282
Brooks county voters scratched the
name of District Judge Sam Reams
but did not substitutes write-in.
Brooks county official returns
gave Reams, the incumbent in the
79th District Judge’s r^ce, 688
votes, and State Representative A.
J. Vale 321. One write-in vote each
was cast for A. M. Bale, J. M. Vale,
A. L. Vale, A. J. Vale and Homer
E. Dean Jr.
Vale, a Duval county sponsored
write-in candidate, defeated Reams,
6,661 to 6,347. Returns counted
Monday in Duval eounty alone gave
him 4,737 to 47 for Reams.
The election of Vale, of Rio
Grande City, caused Gov. Allan
Shivers to ask the attorney gen-
eral’s office if either he or it coaid
investigate the balloting.
Reams said yesterday, oa return-
ing from a hunting trip, that he
I “bad a good hunt and did a lot of
thinking.” But he would not discuss
a possible election contest suit.
Some 40 • attorneys met in Mc-
Allen Thursday night and agreed
to aid Reams legally and financial-
ly. They prepared to draft protest
resolutions to the govrenor, attor-
ney general and State Bar Associ-
ation and to choose a finance com-
mittee to raise funds for a possible
election suit.

Clovis.
"The implications,” Sellards said,
“Are that these earliest-known
people of the Plains obtained a
part, at least, of their food from
seeds anil tubers and were not
wholly a hunting people.”
Deposits in the lake bed, the sci-
entist said, accumulated intermit-
tently, resulting in four distinet
layers of earth. Three contained
human relics and fossil animal re-
mains. Sellards estimated the bot-
tom layer to he more than 10,000
years old.
San Antonio, Nov. 18, HP—About
6,000 gallons of motor oil went up

The Ott Oil Co.'s small refindry,
located on the new Laredo highway
south of the Alamo City, was de-

Company officials said oil from
the broken line sprayed into a boil-

Three firemen were injured bat-
