Southern Methodist University
“aerial circus ’ one of the greatest
of the nation's forward passing
elevens may be without Ray Mor-
rison. its ringmaster after Friday.
Morrison said Thursday night he
would definitely announce "within
a day or two” his decision whether
i to terminate 16 years of coaching
I at the Methodist school for an at-
tractive Vanderbilt University offer.
Secretive about his decision. Mor-
rison merely said and rather wearily
after a month's deep thinking over
1 the matter. ”1 am anxious to dispel
the matter from my mind."
He admitted having conversed by
long distance telephone with a
1 Vandy official Thursday but quick-
ly denied the report from Nashville
that he had been given 48 hours
to make his decision.
A month ago Vanderbilt officials
upon the resignation of the vet-
eran Dan McGugin. tendered the
coaching job to Morrison who won
a quarterback berth on one of Wal-
ter Camp’s all-American teams
while calling McGugin’* signals in
a commodore uniform Twice he has
visited Nashville but has delayed
his decision.
Southern Methodist officials have
exerted every effort to retain the
popular coach and even the Dallas
city officials solemnly passed a
resolution urging the university
1 officials to pemiade Ray to re-
main here.
Morrisons son Jack former Dal-
las high school star was a shining
light on the Vanderbilt freshman
team last season.

ffewCR USED IN WOODS
VERSOS IRONS <ia
Number 513
ALEX MORRISON says:
The other day a young woman
wanted to know if she should try
to hit as hard in playing iron
shots as she does with wood shots.
The very fact that she's think-
ing about hitting instead of
swinging makes it impossible for
her to do anything right.
/By hitting at the ball she's us-
ing too much right hand and lung-
ing with her body. It would prob-
ably take pictures of her swing
to convince her of these faults.
The remedy is to swing prop-
erly then the greater action of the
full swing will develop the right
power for wood shots and the les-
ser action in the shorter swings
wiM gauge the power for iron
shots.
In other words you don't worry
about the amount of strength used
in a shot if you are swinging
properly.

TIGERS READY
FOR BIG YEAR
American League Champs
Have No Hold-Outs
To Bother Them
DETROIT. Jan. 18. —OV— The
Detroit Tigers the club that made
the turnstiles click for the Amer-
ican League last year were picking
up the odds and ends around the
front office Friday getting ready
for another pennant fight without a
hold>out in sight unless Schoolboy
Rowe decides to hold out—for more
pitching assignments.
The business relations between
Frank J. Navin president of the
Detroit baseball club and his play-
ers are a club secret and baseball
men cannot remember when hold-
outs woriied the Tiger management
since Ty Cobb and Dutch Leonard
were classed as hold-outs.
The start of the Tigers' drill at
Lakeland. Fla. is six weeks away
but the foundtion for another pen-
nant drive has already begun with
the order of Pitcher Tommy Bridges
and Marvin Owen the third base-
man to Hot Springs for early con-
ditioning. Alvin Crowder who was
sold to the Tigers last year in time
to cut in on the finish of the pen-
nant fight may also be sent to
Hot Springs.
The club management already has
Rowe's pitching arm under exam-
ination to make certain that he will
be ready for another fling at a new
record for consecutive victories.
Manager Mickey Cochrane is
expected to depend upon Rowe
Bridges. Crowder and Eldon Auker
to combine their talents in winning
the biggest share of 100 ball games
in the 1935 campaign.
With the other clubs in the circuit
still Juggling their prospective line-
ups for the next season it is likely
that the tigers will be the only club
in the American League tr start the
season with the same infield setup
that finished the 1934 campaign.

(Special to Tha Herald i
SAN BENITO Jan. 18—A fourth
period scoring spree enabled the
San Benito high school Greyhounds
to open the second round of play
in the Cameron County Class “A”
schedule with a smashing 33-20 vic-
tory over the La Feria Lions Thurs-
day night.
The Lions led. 10 to 8. at the first
quarter. The Hounds took the lead
at the half. IS to 13. and still led
at the third quarter. 24 to 19. In the
final period the Hounds scored with
monotonous regularity while the
Lions garnered a measly singleton
on a free chunk.
Scogin topped the Hound scorers
with seven field goals and two free
throws while Dunn got three field
goals and a free throw and Davis
two and one. Roland's scoring was
high for the visitors with three
field goals and two free throws.
The turning point of the game
came not long after Smith of the
Lions went out on four personals.
Coach Vail taking the fourth much
to heart and entering one of his
few protests.
Joe Smith playing his last game
under the semester rule turned In
s fine game for the Hounds at

j his own University of Denver squad
in Honolulu.
Locey rates Honolulu's five maj-
01 teams with those of the Big
Ten which generally is regarded as
the most powerful of all pigskin
circuits. In addition to the Uni-
versity of Hawaii and the Honolulu
town team they are the alumni
arrays of Kam. St. Louis and Mc-
Kinley high schools.
"Playing in Hawaii I would say
that the Honolulu town and the
University of Hawaii combinations
are about three touchdowns better
than the average Big Ten product."
says Locey. ‘Playing on the main-
land. I believe the Hawaii and
Honolulu teams to tie on an equal
footing with the same Big Ten
members’*
• * *
OUT LN HAWAII
OP COURSE. Mr Locey lias pri-
vate reasons to praise the football
i of the islands but this is the part
{of his spiel in which Ye Spade is
i interested:
To understand football in Hawaii
one must knew the schooling
through which * candidate for one
of the major teams must go.
“The young schoolboy In Hawaii
starts his football career when he
is In the seventh grade He plays
organised school football for three
years Then he |.iay for Tour years
more in high school before enter-
ing the university for another
four-year period.
"These organised school leagues
with their 1000 teams are divided
into groups. There is a 120-pound
league a 130-pound league a 150-
pound and the barrel league—the
latter a loop in which boys weigh-
ing more than 150 pounds play
before entering higt school.
‘ These boys play without equip-
ment of any kind They do not
wear headguarda shoulder or bin
pads nor do they wear shoes."
THE POINT is this. If you want
a first class high school eleven you
have to develop it In grammar and
junior high schools. Brownsville
high’s strong eleven oi 1028 and
1929 was hinged into the frame-
work of a * championship" tunior
high team.
Corpus Christ! is going great in
football—and tlie real reason for
it is the grammar and junior high
football league which has been
operating there lor several years.
