MEAGHER SEES
LIGHT IN 1930
Rice's New Coach Not En-
thusiastic Over 1929
Grid Prospects
HOUSTON Texas. June 19.—(IP\
—Jack Meagher. Rice Institute's
new football coach does not expect
his 1929 entry to burn up the South-
west conference but his eyes twin-
kle when he surveys the list of
stars who will be available for his
1930 machine.
"My hair might turn snow white
before the close of next season.” he
said recenlty. "but that 1930 team
will turn it black again.”
It is no state secret that Owl sup-
porters at last are fed up on watch-
ing their team finish seventh year
after year. Furthermore they have
decided to do something about it.
Obtaining Meagher’s signature to
a contract was the first step. In his
years at St. Edward's university.]
Meagher gained a reputation as
one of the trickiest mast capable
coaches in the state. He knows the
Notre Dame system backwards and
is a skilled handler of young ath-
letes.
The second step was to attract
some of the state’s stellar high
school gridsters. most of whom had
been seeking other schools for high-
ex learning. They have been at-
tracted. in numbers and next year’s
freshman class at Rice will contain
a score or more of the outstanding
prep stars of the state. Included Is
Seamon Bquyres. great Cleburne
fullback and punter regarded by
many as the greatest high school
player of last season. There are a
dozen others of almost equal cali-
bre who will be available in 1930
providing of course that they are
not thrown for a loss In the class-
room.

ANGEL BACKS
LOSING NINE
President Stuart Loosens
Purse Strings to Re-
build Exporters
BEAUMONT Texas June 19 —
(VP)—When Rube Stuart oil pipe
line millionaire last summer indi-
cated his intention of giving his
Beaumont Exporters a new $100000
plant and spending some important
money for new players there was a
feeling in some quarters that the
Shipper magnet had become phil-
anthropic in his middle age.
The Exporters had been noto-
riously consistent lasers for many
years and the city’s fans had taken
to remaining away from dilapidat-
ed Magnolia Park in droves. In a
three-game series with Fort Worth
at the close of last season only 400
paid admissions passed through the
turnstiles.
But President Stuart was not to
be bothered by mere statistics. He
believed that Beaumont would sup-
port a winning club and was will-
ing to gamble on it in six figures.
When the 1929 season opened.
Stuart Stadium one of the niftiest
horsehide arenas in the league was
ready for business and the Export-
ers’ line-up resembled not at all
that of the previous year. When it
faltered in the opening month of
the season. Stuart untied his purse
again and brought in more players
until the coast city boasts one of
the most formidable entries in the
race.
The Exporter bass is not through
spending money. His pitching staff
does not suit him. and the other
day he offered Fort Worth $6 000
for its crack southpaw. Jimmy
Walkup. The Cats turned him
down. But there is no longer the
impression around the league that
the Exporters are a step-child. They
decidedly are in the respected citi-
zen class.
The response of Beaumont fans
has been greater that Stuart antic-
ipated. The season is only a little
more than a fourth played but al-
ready the Shippers have drawn
more customers at home than they
did in all of the 1928 race.
