COLEMAN, March 30. (RNS)-
With 14 teams competing, the
first annual Novice Relays Satur-
day promises to be off to a suc-
eessful start.
Coach John McGarr, who Is fa-
thering the idea of the Class B
track meet, is very optimistic over
possibilities. After the acceptance
deadline, four or five other schools
wanted to enter, but had to be
turned down because arrangements
had been made to handle only 14
teams.
McGarr feels that the meet can
be greatly expanded next year.

Justice Department
Looks at Sports TV
WASHINGTON, March 30. (—H.
Graham Morison, head of the Jus-
tice Department’s anti - trust, di-
vision, says officials of the Nation-
al Collegiate Athletic Association
(NCAA) want to give the depart-
ment their views on college foot-
ball television in person.
Morison said he will probably
confer with the NCAA officials here
next week.
The department last week broad-
ened its long - time sports anti-
trust inquiry to take in college foot-
ball.
Morison wrote Wilson, asking for
a copy of an anti - television reso-
lution passed by the NCAA. This
has been delivered to Morison.
The department’s anti - trust di-
vision originally got into the sports
field with regard to big league
baseball. It is now waiting td see
how revised broadcasting arrange-
ments made two years ago work
out.
In the past year, however, there
have been fresh complaints about
regulations on baseball and pro
football radio and TV. and the de-
partment is re - assessing the
whole matter.

McMurry Fovored
At San Marcos Meet
The McMurry College Indian
track squad, going to San Marcos
and the All-College meet Saturday,
will include 12 men.
Coach Vernon Hilliard says co-
captain Dick Adams of Roscoe and
Buddy Dulin of Colorado City will
enter the mile run; Bob Carter,
Abilene, dashes: Bill Moring,
Stephenville, hurdles; Jack Arnold,
San Antonio, 440: Hartwell Martin,
Monahans, hurdles, broad jump;
and Richard Higgins, Chickasha,
Okla., relays.
Field men will be Alton Patter-
' son, Ballinger, discus, shot and
javelin: Wayne Graham, Andrews,
discus: Orlo Mitchell, Houston,
high jump, and Veston George,
Monahans, weights.
The Indians will also enter the
sprint relay, and mile relay. They
are co-favorites with host South-
west Texas to win.
One other Texas Conference
team is also entered. A ten-man
squad in its best condition to date
will represent Texas A&I College.
The Javelinas entered a small
poorly-conditioned team at the Bor-
der Olympics earlier this month,
but placed only in the discus.
They’ve now had time to get in
better shape and will enter more
events.
Coach Dewey Mayhew’s Hogs
probably rate best in the sprint
and mile relays and in the dis-
cus throw and shot put.

Abilene High School Eagles to
Brady tomorrow for the Brady Re-
lays.
This strictly high school meet
will draw 26 teams from Classes
AA, A and B with hometown Brady
defending the title which it has
won two years in a row. .
The Bulldogs, because of their
tough showings at Laredo, Fort
Worth and Brownwood, will be
heavily favored to win again tomor-
row,
Brady Coach Russ Holland says
heavy rains this week have put
the track in top shape to see sev-
eral records broken. Abilene could
expect points in the broad jump,
shot put, mile relay, sprint relay,
440 and 880 runs, high jump and
discus.
This will be the third big meet
Abilene has entered this year.
Teams already entered in the
meet include: Junction, Coman-
che, Rising Star, Abilene, Frede-
ricksburg. Big Spring, Colorado
City, Haskell, Cisco, Hamlin.
Melvin, Bangs, Roscoe, Big Lake,
Menard, Brownwood, Stamford,
Uvalde and Brady.
Looks like Abilene teams are
the targets for everybody this week
end except one.
Down at Brady the Eagles will
definitely NOT be favored to give
the Bulldogs much of a run for
the Brady Relay crown.
But Howard Payne’s coach Cap
Shelton has already started filing
pre-race papers to annex the col-
lege title of the West Texas Re-
lays at Odessa Saturday.
The main reason the Yellow
Jackets smell the laurels is Eu-
gene Carter. Tom Penn. Brown-
wood Bulletin sports writer, has
already come out with a double-win
in the sprints for Carter.
Now all he has to do is win.
Can he?
Cap Shelton told me, right after
the HPC-ACC dual meet, "Eugene
may not be able to win even when
he runs. His spirit may be brok-
en.”
Having pulled that leg muscle
two other times, Carter will cer-
tainly be ginger about firewagon
starts. And firewagon starts are
what win sprint races.
* * *
Just how good is Bailey Woods.
Carter’s chief roadblock to the 100-
yard dash title?
Tom relates correctly that Bailey
"never came close to beating Eu-
gene” before he was hurt. That’s
right. But Woods is a different
runner this year. He’s more than
20 pounds lighter than ‘50, for one
thing.
Look for a real race if Carter's
leg can hold out and improve from
now until the conference meet. Per-
sonally, I hope Carter is at his
best — I think Bailey can show
him a razor s edge race..
Cap is taking only 10 men to
Odessa tomorrow but they are all
potential first placers. The Jackets
are looking for four firsts at least:
the 100, sprint relay, mile run and
high hurdles.
They will also run the spring
medley and 880-relay for the first
time this year.

WHEN WEST TEXAS fishermen

EAST TEXANS have been warn-
ed to look out for rabid foxes. The
state Health Department now is in-

nate these foxes, which are spread-
ing rabies both to humans and
livestock over much of the East
Texas area. The officers advise if
you kill a fox. be careful in skin-
ning it out and not get saliva on
an open wound. Some counties are
now paying bonuses up to $2.50 for
fox tails because of the low price
of pelts.
RIGHT NOW is an ideal time
to start your dog on his field train-
ing. The cover is not too high as
yet, and the scenting conditions are
good. With daylight hours getting
longer, there will be plenty of time
in the late afternoons to give them
good workouts.
Last year was a hard year on
bird dogs because of the drouth.
Dust on the grass and weeds gave
them hay fever so bad many of
them could not work. Perhaps
conditions will be different this

keep, provided you start out now

Cotton Weidman coached for two
years, then Paul Tyson came in."
He died just a week before the
season was to open last September
and Caskey has been head ever
since.
On the face of it Daniel Baker
should never have started up foot-
ball again after the war. When a
school is shaky on its feet there
are many more important things
than football to occupy the time
and money of the administrators.
We had about 150 Little League
“potentials” and parents out to
see the 1950 World Series and eat
ice cream as guests of the VFW
and Joe iracey yesterday.
The boys are just spoiling to play
ball. I’ll bet I’ve been asked every |
conceivable question from every
conceivable angle about evern con-
ceivable thing in baseball by ev-
ery boy who ever heard the words.
"Play Ball.”
Don’t forget Joe Tracey’s base-
ball picture tonight at 7:30 at the
high school cafeteria.
Joe will also answer all your
questions about the Blue Sox.
This meeting is for everybody,
especially the grown-ups. Come on
out — it’s an excellent film and
you’ll enjoy it.

ALPINE, March 30 (—Casey
Stengel, bossman of the New York
Yankees, had some praise for the
Chicago White Sox before they
left Phoenix for Texas and a series
with the St Louis Browns.
He said the Sox have a vastly
improved team and might bring
about a few surprises in the pen-
nant race. He was especially high
on the Sox hustle and defense we
work. Stengel’s Yankees lost two
out of three games to the Sox.
