6 Teams Battle for
State Semi-Finals
Odessa Plays
Wichita Falls
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 penult:
mate round. It brought a gasp
from the critics and threw fear
into the hearts of the other elevens

Lufkin, which got into the state
■ play-off 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
final 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 lob-
bed its way to 473 yards rushing
and passing for one of the most
decisive defeats ever plastered on
Waco. ,
Jim Mott sparked the Lufkin at-
tack with his pasisng and running,
making two of the touchdowns
and throwing for another A pass
by Buzz Dozier brought the Waco
score.

Chi Favored
In Pro Game
NEW YORK, Dec. 14.-P—
George Halas, brought his Chicago
Bears here today to tangle with
the New York Giants tomorrow for
the National football league cham-
pionship, and the way the neigh-
borhood betting boys figure it, the
Bears should win easier than fall-
ing down.
They climbed off a morning
train just about the time the bet-
ter betting shoppers were taking
down their shutters and opening
up for the day. And when they
did, it was discovered the gambl-
ing gentlemen had overhauled
their odds overnight and now have
the Bears a 10-point favorite over
the Giants to win their fifth title
since the play-for-pay pigskinners
first decided back in 1933 to bring
East and West together in a post-
season championship scramble.
It still looked like a 50.000
crowd and a record $185,000 gate
for tomorrow
It will be the fourth time the
Bears and the Giants have rassled
it out for the championship. The
Bears won in 933 and 1941, and
the New Yorkers won in 1934.
SUN CARNIVAL QUEEN—Anna Jagoe, 20-year-old gradu-
ate of Stephens college, and now a junior at Southern Metho-
dist U., Dallas, takes her ‘book on the head’ poise exercises
before members of a fraternity football team at SMU. Miss
Jagoe has been chosen Queen of the Twelfth Annual South-
western Sun Carnival in her home town, El Paso, Dec. 27

Win Tag Match
In a hilarious finish that delight-
ed approximately 1.000 lusty-
throated spectators. George Curtis
and Polo Cordova won an Austra-
lian tag match from Bobby Burns
and Ace Abbott in the feature
event of the Fair Park Supper Club
wrestling program Friday night
Abbott won the first fall for his
team, pinning Curtis with a ham-
merlock and arm stomp in 23 min-
utes. Cordova evened matters in
the second fall, panning Burns on a
reverse crab hold.
The third fall saw Cordova tie
Burns up in the ropes and as Ab-
bott came in to rescue his troubled
partner. Curtis joined the melee
Cordova took a full Nelson hold
on Abbott while Curtis drop-kicked
him, and Curtis and Cordova then
used the semi-conscious Abbott as
a human battering ram against
Burns, and it was a simple mat-
ter for Curtis to pin Abbott for
the deciding fall.
Burns, freeing himself at con-
clusion of the match, flattened his
partner. Abbott and whaled away
at Referee Pat O’Dowdy.
In a preliminary 20 minute time
limit match, Burns and Cordova
battled to a draw. The crowd was
the largest to witness a wrestling
exhibition here this season

GOP Committee •
Deal' Rumored
WASHINGTON, Dec 14.—)-
A compromise to designate Rep.
Charles A Halleck of Indiana
House majority leader in the new
congress and Rep. Clarence J.
Brown of Ohio chairman of the a
Republican steering committee is e
in the making today.
While party leaders officially 1
disclaimed knowledge of it, sever-
sl acknowledged privately that
there is more thsn mere rumor
snd speculation in the reported •
"deal."
It was advanced by highly-placed
Republicans in a move to avert
an open fight between Brown and
Halleck for the leadership post
which Rep. Joseph W. Martin Jr., a
of Massachusetts will vacate when “
he becomes speaker on January 3.
Brown and Halleck are the ma-
jor contenders for the leadership.
And because Brown hss been iden- .
tified as a “Taft man” and Halleck (
as a "Dewey man.” the contest has
been waged before a background
of 1948 Republican presidential
politicos.__________________________
