| j ir producers, California and I'tah.
j .ne not members of the compact,"

I'tah will join the compact at its
j nest legislature meeting."
The meetiiiK here continues

Y'esterday at a meeting of the
regulatory practices committees
O. 1'. Nicola if Hartlesville. Okla.,

to burden ourselves."

oil and gus," he said. "It is in j
terested only in the prevention of
physical waste."

Xew York authority on teen agers
says girls a-e getting more and
more airprvssive—and the result
is a wave of young marriages that
has sociologists and educators
stumped.
Dr. Grace Sloan Overton, New
York writer and lecturer on prob-
lems of young people, is in Still-
water to address members of the
Oklahoma 4-H club in their state-
wide roundup.
She told 4-H youth leaders yes-
terday that girls in this country
mw are maturing from nine
months to a year earlier than ever
before. She said that with the ef-
fects of three wars, compulsory
military service and the earlier
maturation in girls, "a pressure
for marriage" has developed.
Dr. Overton said that parents of
boys under 15 should protect their
youngesters fr>m girls who call
them for dates when the boys
don't want to go out.
"Girls are grow ing more aggres-
sive all over the country." she
said.
Tulsa swept a d >uble-head*r
from San Ant >nio 4-2 and 118,
while Austin also took both ends
of a twin bill, beating Oklahoma
City 15 2 and 5-3.
Dallas took a one-run lead in
the first inning of its opener with
Houst in and was never behind.
Jim Davenport and Don Taussig
homeied for the Eagles.
Dallas won the second game
when Andre Rodgers hit a dra-
matic homer in the ; last the
ninth to score the only rtats of
the game. Neil Roberts let the
Buffs down with four hits.

January Tees Off
In Big Tourney
DALLAS ir.P> Don January,
the freshman pro who conquered
the fi>'ld in a tuneup tournament
a week age, was among the earlv
starters today as th«r rich, pres-
sure-packed $70,000 Texas Interna-
tional Open got under way.
'Hie tall Texan who made the
first tournament victory of his
short pro career a $6,000 bonanza
teed off at mid-morning in a
threesome with Gene Littler of
Singing Hills, Calif., and Fieddie
Haas nf New Orleans and should
find out early if his game's still
hot.
General opinion among the pros
was that it would take a little bet-
ter golf than the 12-under-par 2«>8
with which January nosed out
Dow Finsterwald of Bedford
Heights. Ohio, and Doug Fort! of
Hahopac. N. Y., in last week's
