Texas-O. U. Game Does Not
Worry Sooner Head Mentor
Bud Wilkinson, big and hand-
some gridiron coach who as-
sumed the reins this year at Ok-
lahoma University, was luncheon
guest Tuesday of E. H. Doc Wil-
. kins, along with H. E. Chiles of
Midland, an O. U. alumnus; W.
M. Osburn of Midland; and Har-
old Worley.
Wilkinson is making a tour
of this section appraising foot-
ball talent for future reference.
‘Chiles, who is president of the
Western Acidizing company, is
making the rounds with the O.
V. mentor.
Sooner prospects for the com-
ing reason are very bright. The
*X was inaugurated at Norman
last year, and with the experience
gained, plus knowing ability of
all the lads, Wilkinson expects I
liis 1947 edition to be a smooth-
working outfit.
Wilkinson says he expects a
lot of trouble with Texas in his
team’s third game of the fall.
He praises the speed and foot-
ball ability of the Texans but
gives the impression that he will
not lose much sleep over out-
come of the game
Wilkinson is well over six feet
tall, genial, and possesses a
smile that would toss any girl
for a couple of swoons. The
former Minnesota grid star wac
assistant last year to Charley
Tatum at O. U., and was elevated
to the head coaching position
When the latter resigned. He
■was also a big gun on the Goph
ers jee hockey teams before the
■war. He coached at Navy pre-
Hight school where he “played
around” with the T, and adopted
it as his favorite formation.
It’s a good bet that the blond
Wilkinson and pleasant-talking,
jovial Chiles will not make many
enemies among the high school
lootbailers in this or any other
area.

The production of synthetic
fibers, as opposed to the “natur
al” fibefs—cotton, wool, mohair,
silk, and flax—is showing a big
increase.
Up until around 1935, accord-
ing to the USDA Southern Re-
gional Research Laboratory at
New Orleans, rayon was the only
manufactured fiber in commer-
cial production in the United
States. It is made of cellulose.
After a couple of false starts
rayon production got underway
in 1911 and has increased so
rapidly that today it runs second
only to cotton as a textile fiber.
Production is still climbing: 482
million pounds in 1940 td 875 mil-
lion in 1946.
Before 1940 the consumption
of synthetic fibers other than
rayon was very small, and even
in 1940 totaled only 4.5 million
pounds; by 1946 the figure had
increased to 53.3 million pounds
ahd outranked silk and flax.
Some of the man-made fibers
that are coming up fast in the
synthetic field are:
Glass fiber; commercial pro-
duction began in 1936 but the
output was very limited during
the first three or four ytars.
Vinyon, a fiber made of syn-
thetic resin, first made in 1938.
Production is still small.
Nylon; commercial production
began in 1939, after a short pe-
riod of experimental operations.
Aralac and saran, casein fi-
bers, were introduced commer-
cia ly around 1940
Refiners Will Defend League Lead With

Avoid Accidents
For A Happy And
Safe Vacation
Summer time makes us think of
swimming, hiking, fishing and
camping—all adventures which
take us into the outdoors and
away from the well-established
patterns ol life at home. A va-
cation should be a happy, care-
free time that “recreates” us for
the winter months ahead.
But many a long-planned vaca-
tion has been spoiled by a care-
less accident. When accidents do
happen, 4t is essential to know
and apply the appropriate "first
aid’” measures. Many boys and
girls learn first aid measures in
connection with their scouting
activities. Their parents would
do well to imitate them, especial-
ly when planning a vacation
away from home and the family
doctor.
Some of the more common va-
cation acidents include swimming
accidents, cuts, burns and bites.
Swimming is an essential part I
of most vacations. Most swim-,
ming acidents can be avoided;
if a few safety rules are prac-
ticed.
Cramps cause many swimming
accidents and ’swimming too
soon after eating is apt to cause
stomach cramps. It is a safety
measure to stay out of the wa-
ter for two hours after eating.
______No one> not even an expert
The locals scraped by Seminole I swimmer, should go swimming
last Sunday afternoon with a | al°ne> as accidents^lcan happen
make-shift line-up. Jarman said *° anyone. No one should stay
his nine will be re-inforced for ln water, for a long period,
the tussle with the Millers.
Post divided a double-header
with Seagraves last Sunday, and
the Millers believe they have a
good chance to upset Jarmon’s
men.
Gist will start on the mound
here Sunday. Either Merkel or
Blair will work behind the plate.

kins, short stop; Brashear, left j no t ___ _________

boxing tournament will be held |

ilenced class eligible to comDetel
in the state TAAF tourruAht
at Fort Worth August 14, HHind

Members of the Brownfield
Junior Chamber of Commerce i
decided to sponsor the event af-
ter learning that neither Am- ‘
arillo in District 1 nor,Lubbock -
in District 2 is staging a tour-
nament this year.
Entries should be mailed^o I
Charles Didway of the Bran-
field News, Brownfield, Tex., by
2 p. m. August 7, listing name,
address, weight and experience.
Dr. Gordon E. Richardson of
Brownfield is director of the '
tournament, which will be j
staged in an open-air ring at i
Cub football stadium. Trophies
will be awarded in both novice !
and experienced classes.
Snake-bites need ImmejRe j
attention. There are good and I
inexpensive snake-bite kits on I
sale by the leading drug com- I
panies with directions for using ]
them. Usually there is a sterile I
or clean sharp instrument in the I
kit with which to make a criss- I
cross cut over the bite and deep I
enough to draw blood, after a I
tourniquet has been applied^- 1
bove the bite. Then the lK5e I
suction cup is applied and the I
snake poison is suctioned off I
with some blood. The tourniquet I
is removed and free bleding al- I
lowed before aplying an anti- ■
septic and bandage. Don’t give a I
stimulant. This does more harm ■
than good, as it increases clr- ■
culation. Get the victim to a ■
doctor as soon as possible. ■
If sufficient care is taken,■
cidents can be avoided. If tBy ■
do occur, a sure knowledge of B
what first aid measures should B
be taken should prevent trag- ■
edy from marring your vaca- B
tion. B
