ANYWAY, WE CAME IN FOR SOME CRITICISM FROM some
of our readers, who felt that our feeble efforts were harming, rather
than helping the cause.
The very same day a ladv here, who works constantly for the
betterment of our fair city and who particularly is interested in our
youngsters, called by telephone to thank us for our plug in this col-
umn and stated that the committee with which she worked felt the

to hurt the game. He suggested

or six other clubs could do.
And the locals must go right
back over to Bonham tomorrow
night to open the district race.
Maybe so, they can find some way
of sinking those long ones and
overcoming the Warriors’ tight
zone defense. If the boys can do
this, Bonham will have to
change defenses or else.

L4 strewn with roses. Ofttimes what he writes is a bit incoherent
and his readers aren’t1 too sure just what he is driving at. And, re-
gardless of how he expresses himself, different interpretations are
placed on statements he makes.
Such was the case two or three days ago when we typed off a
little squib about the coming bond election, in which it is proposed
a new swimming pool and baseball park be constructed and an all-
round recreational program set up.
Our intention was to let it be known that we heartily endorsed
all three proposals and hoped the majority of our citizens would feel
the same way about it.

WELL, WE’LL FIX IT SO THERE CAN BE NO DOUBT in any-
one’s mind how this scribe stands? How do you suppose one vitally
interested in sports would feel about these three proposals? And,
more important, how would one who has worked directly with school
children for more years than he cared to admit would stand on the
issues? It would be perfectly obvious that we are as much for the
proposals as anyone in the city.
It is a foregone conclusion that health, mental and physical, is
essential to happiness, and wholesome recreation is a big contribut-
ing factor to health. And we, for one, aren’t going to let a few paltry
dollars stand in the way of the health and happiness of a lot of our
people, especially the thousands of boys and girls. That oughta be
clear enough. — —
est to all baseball fans in the city
will be held Tuesday evening in
the district court room at the'
courthouse, the affair to open at
7:30 p. m.
The gathering has been called
for the purpose of discussing the
coming bond election in which
among three proposals is one
calling for expenditures not to
exceed $30,000 for the purpose of
constructing a new baseball park.
Tentative plans have already
been drawn up for the proposed
structure and will be discussed in
detail at Tuesday night’s meeting
by Dr. W. H. Locke, club presi-
dent.
The stands would be con-
structed of steel, extending from
third to first base line, covered
and with a seating capacity of
approximately 2,900 fans. Under-
neath would be dressing rooms
for two teams, an umpire’s room,
concession stands and rest rooms
for both white and colored.
Fans are urged to attend, not
only to discuss this question but
to receive reports on baseball ac-
tivities in general here.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 10 (A)
The outgoing president of the
American Football Coaches asso-
ciation lashed out at the National
Collegiate Athletic association’s
year-old “sanity code” today. He
said coaches “are fearful we have
another prohibition act on our
hands.”
Harvey Harman of Rutgers, in
a statement at the end of the as-
sociation convention here, said
his profession had no quarrel
with the aims of the code.
“We recognize it as an effort to
keep football amateur and we
must be sympathetic with ‘ the
motive,” he declared. “We are
waiting to see how honest and
free of hypocrisy the administra-
tion of this code will be.
“College football coaches de-
“Now believe me when I say
that we are fearful we have an-
other prohibition act on our
hands because in our hearts —•
and let’s be honest—most of us
do not regard it wrong for the
regular scholarship committee to
give a boy with leadership quali-
ties, and with need, help toward
his board and room.”
He also questioned the pre-
dominant role played by faculty
athletic representatives in foot-
ball administration. He called for
more authority for coaches.
“Coaches have never been able
to understand why regulory bod- '
ies, sometimes composed of mem-
bers who have known the blood;
and sweat of a football game— -

District 5 Cage
Play Gets Under
Way on Tuesday
Opening half of District 5-AA’s
double round-ronin basketball
schedule will get under way
Tuesday night, games being
slated for Bonham, Sherman and
Greenville.
First night’s program will find
the Leopards in Bonham for a
clash with the Warriors, Denison
in Sherman and Paris at Green-
ville.
Bonham, winner of last year’s
crown, will be favored to repeat
this season, based on their strong
showing in the Bonham invita-
tion meet held last weekend,
when the Warriors took first
place, beating the Leopards for
the tournament title.
The teams will play twice
weekly. On Friday night of this
week, Gainesville invades Deni-
son, whom the Leopards whipped
in the Bonham meet, Sherman
goes to Paris and Bonham will be
in Greenville. The Leopards open
at home next week.

It looks like Baylor and Texas
will fight it out again for the
Southwest conference basketball
title.
The conference campaign
opened last week and defending
champion Baylor and last year’s
runnerup, Texas, brushed past
two foes each to loom as the out-
standing clubs in the champion-
ship chase.
Whether this rating is justified
will be seen this week. Both the
Bears and Texas Longhorns face
strong opposition—from the clubs
given the best chance to spring
upsets.
Texas downed Southern Meth-
odits, 50-44, last week but tne
potentially dangerous Mustangs
may be a toughie for Baylor, even
on the Bears’ home court at Waco.
Baylor knocked off the strong
Rice Owls, 63-47, but the Owls
may rebound against Texas.
It was a hectic week for all save
the “big two” last week.
Texas Christian surprised
Southern Methodist, 58-52, and
then Texas A&M came along and
upset the TCU Frogs, 58-42.
Arkansas took it on the chin
from Baylor, 41-37, and Southern
Methodist tripped Texas A&M, 55
to 37. Texas whipped Texas Chris-
tian handily, 59-46.
In two non-conference games,
Texas stomped Sam Houston
State, 69,40, and Phillips Oilers
dumped Arkansas 58-32.
Other conference games this
week match Texas A&M and
Rice; Arkansas and Southern
Methodist and Texas Christian
and Baylor.
Slater Martin, Texas’ ace guard,
took over individual scoring lead-
ership in season play from South-
ern Methodist’s Jack Brown, 212
Points to 202.
Julius Dolnics, Texas Chris-
tian’s 29-year-old center, tops the
conference scorers with 60 points.

ELSEWHERE IN THIS paper
you’ll find the Class AA all-state
teams, first and second, as well
as a list of boys who received
honorable mention for their play
throughout the season.
As we have previously stated,
this scribe was on a committee
of seven to pick these teams. And
for some reason, Al Echols of
Greenville and John Clift of Den-
ison were also members of the
committee. And, as you see, Dis-
trict 5-AA fared better than a lot
of other districts. However, in so
far as we were able, we tried
to be fair and square about our
voting. For example, we didn’t
think Marvin Vincent of Denison
was all-state material and so
voted, but he had sufficient sup-
port to gain a spot, and we’re
glad a boy from District 5-AA
did get a place on the first team.
Neither could we see Sammy
Ethridge of Greenville on the sec-
ond team but he was voted in.
30-24 for the championship of the
lower division.
In the Bonham - Gainesville ,
affair, the Gainesville team was
crippled when Townsend, elon-
gated center, was benched by an
official for allegedly roughing an ,
opponent.
The Warriors took an early
lead and were leading at half-
time, 16-7. Hubby Barker was top
scored for the Leopards, with six
to his credit.
All teams entered in the tour-
nament played three games each
and all won at least one game ex- •
cept Bailey. ‘
First four meet winners were ,
Bonham, Gainesville, Sherman,
and Gober.
The Leopards open district play
Tuesday night, going back to ‛
Bonham to face the Warriors in
a district contest.

You’ll note that Jack Wages of
Gainesville received honorable
mention.
James Garner, end from Ama-
rillo, was most popular, receiving
all votes without an argument,
and Bill Athey, guard from Waco,
wasn’t far behind.
LEAST YOU CAN SAY about
Texas league club owners is
they’re a gang of optimistic fel-
lows. Optimistic, that is, over
prospects of a record attendance
next season.
They couldn’t even see televi-
sion as a threat to attendance.
Just as soon as the new wears
off, they argue, fans will be right
back in their seats at the park.
The loop’s big all- star clash,
in which stars from seven teams
play the leaders of July 4, will
be staged on July 12. The league,
incidentally, will open the season
on April 13 for a 154-game chase.
THE LONGHORNS AND Ag-
gies have gone back to South
Texas and the Mustangs and
.Frogs won’t be objectin’.
Texas came up for a game with
each team and took home a pair
of victories, beating the Frogs one
night and the Mustangs the next.
The Aggies’ luck wasn’t so good.
They whipped TCU eagers but
lost to the Ponies. However, since
the Frogs beat SMU, the two
North Texas clubs are just about
on a par. Neither is too hot. Per-
sonally, we like Baylor Bears, who
have already trimmed Rice, and
will give the Mustangs a fit this
week.
FODDER . . Doak Walker made
the Chattanooga Times’ All-
American blocking team. Not a
single Michigan player was placed
on the mythical eleven . . . Looks
like the Lions of East Texas and
Eagles of North Texas will battle
it out this season for the Lone
Star crown . . . And it’s pretty
well conceded that Baylor and
Texas are the top teams in the
Southwest loop . . . Doug Bright-
well, former TCU center, has
signed a pro contract with the
Pittsburgh Steelers . . . Looks like
a hot finish in the Los Angeles
open, what with four top golfers
tied at the final round . . . There
were no fatalities in college foot-
ball this past season . . . Yale
coach is in Dallas to make some
talks, so we read. He’ll be treated
to what is known in Texas as a
blue norther. And they can be
pretty tough.
