Baylor Coach to
Select Staff and
Run His Own Club
. No Interference by
Any Group, Chairman
Alva Bryan Declares
WACO, Dec. 14 (P) — Baylor
university’s football coach will
select his own staff and will run
the team, Alva Bryan, chairman
of the athletic , council of the
board of trustees, said today in
commenting on reports to the
contrary made following resigna-
tion of Frank Kimbrough as head
mentor and speculation as to
who would succeed him.
Harry Stiteler, assistant coah
at Rice who was mentioned most
prominenty for the job, had said
he was not interested “so long
as the athletic council continues
its policy of not letting the head
coach name his assistants and run
the department.”
Bryan, in a prepared statement,
declared "it is our intention to
allow the new head coach to se-
lect his staff, subject to course,
to confirmation by the athletic
council of the board of trustees.
We believe that this is the policy
followed by most institutions.
Certainly, the athletic council of
the Baylor board of trustees has
no intention of attempting to tell
a coach how to run his football
team. As a matter of fact, the
council has not attempted such
a procedure in the past.” ’
Never Was Called
Stiteler came here Tuesday,
when the council met and re-
ceived Kimbrough’s resignation,
waiting at a downtown hotel
throughout the drawnout session.
But he never was called and re-
turned to Houston. He said later
that he had been invited to come
here and discuss the coaching job
with the council.
Said Bryan’s statement: “No
candidate for the position as head
coach of Baylor has appeared be-
fore the athletic council of the
board of trustees, and no one has

Three Other Major
Battles on Today's
Quarter-Final Menu
By HAROLD V. RATLIFF
Associated Press Sports Editor
Six teams square off today in
battles that will complete the
semi-final bracket of the Texas
schoolboy football race — each
with an eye cocked on Lufkin’s
terrific Panthers.
• The touchdown-happy boys
from the piney woods yesterday
crushed a good Waco team 35-6
to become the first team to enter
the penultimate round. It brought
a gasp from the critics and threw
fear into the hearts of the other
elevens left in the race.
Today undefeated, untied Odes-
sa plays Wichita Falls at Odes-
sa; North Side (Fort Worth), also
unbeaten and untied, clashes with
Highland Park (Dallas) at Dal-
las, and Thomas Jefferson (San
Antonio) gets Lamar (Houston)
at San Antonio. Jefferson and
Lamar each is undefeated but has
been tied.
In next week’s semi-finals the
Odessa-Wichita Falls winner
meets the victor in the North
Side-Highland Park game while
Lufkin rolls against the top hands
of the Thomas Jefferson-Lamar
tilt
Too Much for Tigers
Lufkin, which got into the state
playoff after once stepping out of
the district title race because of
an ineligible man, was just too
much and too many for Waco.
The Tigers, aided by two Pan-
ther fumbles, held Lufkin score-
less until the second period when
the East Texans scored a touch-
down. But Lufkin counted again
in the third period and in the fi-
nal rolled up three touchdowns.
A great Panther line limited
Waco to just 54 yards on the
ground while the Tigers counted
86 in the air—but Lufkin snorted
and bucked and pitched and
lobbed its way to 473 yards rush-
ing and passing for one of the
most decisive defeats ever plas-
tered on Waco, j
Jim Mott sparked the Lufkin
attack with his passing and run-
ning, making two of the touch-
downs and throwing for another.
A pass by Buzz Dozier brought
the Waco score.

Football comes back to Gaines-
ville for one last fling before the
season dies out when the Gaines-
ville Vets clash with Muenster
All-Stars at Leeper stadium on
Tuesday night, the affair to start
at 7:30 o’clock.
The game is a benefit affair,
proceeds of which will go toward
a fund for purchasing a new
electric score board for Leeper
stadium.
The program is sponsored by
the Junior Chamber of Com-
merce, whose athletic committee
is headed by Choice Swindle.
Swindle stated that plans for the
new board, which is an elaborate
affair, have already been drawn
up and that the Jaycees are an-
xious to put over the project as
soon as possible.
Playing on the Gainesville team
will be, principally, former Leop-
ard stars, dating back as far as
1938 and including Senior per-
formers of the 1946 Leopard club.
FODDER — Best football game
of the entire season, as far as real
football is concerned, will be
plyed Sunday in New York,
where the Bears and Giants clash
for the pro football title. Those
clubs have forgotten more foot-
ball than most college clubs ever
knew. The Bears are favored to
win ... A simple service was held
yesterday for Walter Johnson,
who died Thursday in Washing-
ton. Former teammates served as
bearere. . . . See where a re-
union of all fellows who played
under Pete Cawthon will b held
in Dallas on New Year’s night
Many a star was developed by
Pete, who’ll be on hand for the
party. Betcha Swede McMurry
will be among those present. . .
A large group of ward school
gridders had a big time eating at
the banquet given in their honor
here last night. Out of that group
should come some fine prospects
for the Leopards a few years
hence . . . Davis Cup matches be-
tween the U. S. and Australian
teams will be held in Melbourne
Christmas week. The Australians,
Among those expected to take
part are Jack Williams, Bill Mc-

WE HAD THE CORRECT
hunch that Lufkin would elimin-
ate Waco Tigers from the state
race for the schoolboy football
championship but we had no idea
they would run over the tough
Wacoites to the tune of 35 to 6.
Take note of how accurate the
Panthers are with their heaves.
They completed 11 . out of 18
pairs for 281 yards, and just to
show fans they could also run
With the apple, the Panthers

THAT MUDDLE DOWN at
Baylor is being cleared up a bit.
Alva Bryan, chairman of the
athletic council, says the new
coach at the Baptist institution of
higher learning will certainly be
allowed to choose his own assist-
ants, and will have complete
charge of the team.:
That clears up that little mat-
ter, which was given as the rea-

the job. He later announced he
would be interested if given a
free hand. That being the case,
chances are he’ll make another
trip to Waco to talk matters over.
When that’ll be, however, is a

Seems as how Trader Mitchell
gets wild quail from Mexico,
checks them to see that they are
okay and then ships them all over
the country at so much a coop. He
calls a coop 12 hens and 13 cocks,
nature's ratio, and ships them in
February, March and April.
This Mexican quail, he says,
shouldn’t be confused with the
Mexican Blue Quail which does-
n’t “live very well north of the
border. His quail is the same as
ours, except a little greyer in col-
or. J
He suggests farmers leave about
20 feet of fence row so that vol-
unteer stuff (beggerweed, clover
blackberries and such) will grow.
The birds like that. And he
claims bobwhites aren’t migra-
tory unless forced to hunt for new
feeding grounds.
Heard an old timer talking the
other day about quail. He says
there’s a sure way to tell of there
are quail in an area—watch the
hawks. If there’s a blue darter
(Cooper’s hawk) around, you can
bet on it, quail are there, too. He
might have something there, we
wouldn’t know.
All people aren’t ps ill-versed
in coyote remedies as we are, but
we thought we'd pass this one on

not be any coyotes in this area,
but the county has hird wolf

writing this. There is a gadget
out that will just about clean an
area out of wolves and coyotes in
no time at all.
It’s called the coyote killer, and
brother it’s effective from what
we’ve read about it.
