last five minutes of play, when
wo Temple lads broke loose with
two field goals and a free thrqw,

•’Anyone wishing to play basket-
ball, tennis, or baseball on Sunday
using the varsity courts or Clark
field as their playing ground, will
have some one to fight from now
on.”
That was ths advice given out
by L. Theo. Bellmont, director of
Longhorn athletics, Thursday after
Johnny Estes, football and basket-
ball letter man of the university,
and incidentally a pugilist of n0
mean repute, had been appointed
as custodian of the three main
gamboling grounds for Sabbath
sportsmen.
Acting on a rumor to the effect
that the varsity basketball players
were practicing on Sunday, Bell-
mont investigated conditions and
found that only one or two indi-
vidual players, and not the whole
team, had been using the Longhorn
gymnasium to toss a few goals on
Sunday afternoon. 1
A rule of the university states
conclusively that neither of the
courts or fields is to be used on
Sunday, but locks on the two gyms
and barriers on the tennis courts
and around Clark field have been
torn off lately, due to the intra-
mural activities. Now, however,
Johnny Estes will patrol the terri-
tory devoted to athletics every Sun-
day in order to ward off any over-
enthusiastic athletes. Estes was
appointed, according to Bellmont,
mainly on the strength of his rec-
ord as a fighter while in the uni-
versity, both with the gloves and
vithout.

[Associnted Press Dispatch to Statesman.]
.CHICAGO, Feb. 4.—Joie Ray. who
until the invasion of Paavo Nurmi
held a dozen world’s distance run-
ning records, today signed a con-
tract to turn professional after 16
years competition as an amateur.
Like Red Grange, Joie acquired
a manager. He is T. 8. Donohue,
former Illinois AC athletic and team
mate of Ray's.
Ray further followed in the foot-
steps of Grange, declaring that
running was the best thing he
could do and that he intended to
turn that ability into dollars.1 The
diminutive Chicagoan is planning
a European trip with exhibitions
in London, Paris and Berlin.
Ray was recently adjudged a
professional because he punched the
bag in a sporting goods house as
an advertising stunt. His efforts
to obtain a rehearing and reinstate-
ment failed.

floor, and only two tallies were
made by the free throw route. His
record during the game surpassed
everything else on both teams,

ing the only player on either squad
that came anywhere near to his
record.
The thir game of the week- for
the Maroons will come Saturday
when Houston Heights of Houston
comes to Austin for a return game.
Dennis’ team defeated the Heights

Coach Stewart had these men on
the courts Wednesday afternoon for
a workout in which a game was
played between the tall boys and
ths smaller mn on the team, in an
effort to form a team of the largest
men on his squad to cope .with the
Arkansas giants. The squad, as a
whois, did not work as well as it
has been doing, however, due to the
illness of several of the men from
ptomaine poisoning. Bean, a man
who has not been heard of much
thia year, but who played good ball
at forward against Baylor, is prac-
tically the only strange face on
the line-up composed of Gause and
Bean at forwards, Moore at center,
and Basil Penney and “Ox” Hig-
gins. This was the group of Uli
boys that worked Wednesday after-
noon.
Knowing that a victory has prac-
tically been awarded to 'the Hogs
already, Stewart will not attempt to
play his men offensively in either
game, but instruetions have gone
out to the Texas men to put all their
efforts on the defense and hold the
Razorbacks down in their attacks.
IEMPLE high furnished plenty
of excitement for the Ma-
ns Tuesday night, and Dennis
.clared that he wouldn’t have

National League
Wants Landis Kept
NEW YORK. Feb. 4.—After fall-
ing to ratify their 1926 schedule,
National league owners today
phased a resolution favoring re-
appointment of Baseball Commis-
sioner Landis for 10 years when
his seven year term expired in
1927.
Saint Edward's basketball team
will battle the Southwestern Pirates
for the third time this season
Thursday night in Georgetown. So
far the games have been divided
evenly, with the Pirates taking the
first game at Georgetown and the
Saints winning in Austin.
Thursday night's game will be the
first the Saints have played In over
a week, and the long rest has some-
what torn down the strong machine
that the Saint coach had developed.
Starting the game, Woeber will
have Chinski and “Swede” Swan-
son at forwards. Captain Reilly at
center and Louis Erspamer and
George Woeber* at guards. Swan-
son seems t be back at his old
tricks of tossing the ball in the net
regularly now, and Louie Erspamer
at guard is as agile as ever, and in
practice, Woeber said that very few
goals were made over him Wed-
nesday. George Woeber, kid brother
of the coach, will start the game at
guard, pairing with Erspamer. Woe-
ber played a good game against
the Pirates when the Georgetown
team came to Austin last time.
Saturday night, the Pirates come
back to Austin for the final return
game on the Austin Athletic Club
court.

After the first string men had
been run in following the first ten
minutes of play, Austin high
Maroons ran up a lead which
Georgetown high could not over-
come. and the Austin team won 27
to 14 in a basketball game here
Wednesday night.
Starting the game off Coach Den-
nis’ team fell into a lethargy that
it could not seem to shake off, and
besides growing weak on their
offense, allowed the visiting team
to run through for goals that came
dangerously near passing the mark
started by the Maroons. However,
Dennis soon sensed the weakness
of his players and, calling a halt in
the game, ran in five new men to
supplant those in the game. When
this was done, the tide immediately
began to turn in favor of the local
boys, and from then on there was
little doubt but that the Maroons
would carry off the honors.
After finally getting his men
started on the road to victory, Den-
nis ran them a little easier, and
every man on the squad was given
a chance to show his wares in a
regular game.
Hicks, forward for the Eagles,
appeared more like. Edward Chin-
ski of the St. Edward's Saints than
he did a high school player, so

L. Theo Bellmont, director of
athletics at the university, appear-
ed before the board of directors of
the Retail Merchant’s association
Wednesday afternoon, asking sup-
port and encouragement in regard
to the second of the annual series
of relay games to be held in the
Texas Memorial Stadium on March
26, 1926.
These games were inaugurated
last spring, and met with a re-
sponse from institutions over the
country which justifies their con-
tinuation and the interest of others
that athletic leaders, according to
Mr. Bellmont.
J. Rector Allen, president of the
Merchant's association, endorsed
the proposition, stating that the
merchants of Austin “would as-
suredly join in making the project
a success." He urged the immed-
iate co-operation of all the mer-
chants, asking that they feature the
day as is possible in their adver-
tising, talk it in their stores, and
that each individual make it known
Er' e y
McGraw Rookie Did
Well Last Season
Fred Fitzsimmons, MeGraw’s
rookie pitcher, did well in his debut
season. He won six tilts and lost
thrca. He allowed 2.84 runs earned
per game, a fairly good mark for
a youngster.
Charlie Hoff, holder of the
world’s record in the pole vault, and
Paulen, the wonder middle-distance
runner from Holland, will bo in
Austin on March 26 to enter the
Second Annual Texas Relay games.
A letter received by L. T. Bellmont
Wed nen day quoted Murray Hul-
bert. president of the Amateur Ath-
“Slim” Hopkins, forward on Coach
Tom Dennis’ Austin high Maroons,
has returned to the fold after it
had seemed inevitable that he
would be lost to the Maroon five
for the remainder of the year.
Because he could not graduate
from the Orange high schools this
year, “Slim" Hopkins, forward on
Tom Dennis’ Austin high basket-
ball team, is back with his old team
and played in the game against
Georgetown Wednesday night. Hop-
kins. left Austin Sunday with his
parents who moved to Orange.
However, upon trying to enter
school there, he was told that he
could not get his diploma there as
he had planned to do in Austin
this spring.
Hopkins has started nearly every
game played so far this season by
the Maroons and his reappearance
on the squad bolsters up Dennis’
crew of ball tossers quite a bit.

Imagination cannot picture the Oriental
subtlety and exotic color of this country that
lies at “the other end of the longest gang-
plank in the world." One must see it! Take a

that goes to Plymouth, England .. then
Havre, the port of Paris. Or a One-Class
Cabin Liner, the De Grasse, Rochambeau,
La Savoie or Suffren, that goes direct toHavre.
Season from September to May
It’s the ideal way. Perfect accommoda-
tions, cuisine, and companionship for the
days at sea. No transferring to tenders at
Havre. Just down the gangplank to a special
boat train waiting. Paris in three hours; the
Riviera over night; and North Africa just a.
day across the Mediterranean.
