jury Lists Grow In SWC
As Conference Play Opens
By UNITED PRESS
Southwest Conference teams
were expected to tape off in drills
Thursday for the first big round of
conference games Saturday.
Wednesday's drills, for the most
part, were long and hard in all
seven camps.
The University of Texas Long-
horns placed emphasis on defen-
sive work but had another "stop-
'em" worry when regular right
tackle Clifford Polk turned up with
a broken finger sustained in work-
out Tuesday. Trainer Frank Me-
dina said Polk was lost to the team
team indefinitely.
Coach Ed Price had Doug Hawk-
ins, Charles Petrovich and Ken
Harlow working to bolster the va-
cated position. Price also tried out
his running star, Gib Dawson, at
safety to try and get more speed
there.
The Arkansas Razorbacks, Tex-
ts' opponent Saturday at Austin,
were minus the services of their
star quarterback. Lamar McHan.
McHan Still Out
McHan was out with an injury
and sophomore Bob St. Pierre and
junior Ralph Troilltt, who starred
against Baylor, were expected to
alternate in the quarterback post.
TCU's defensive team went
through a hard scrimmage Wed-
nesday against T-formation plays
as employed by Texas A&M. their
Saturday opponent at College Sta-
tion. while the offense avoided
rough work in a dummy scrim-
mage.
second straight hard workout
Wednesday, concentrating on run-
ning plays, for their conference
opener with SMU at Houston Sat-
urday night.
Coach Jess Neely, who concen-
trated on passing in Tuesday's drill,
had the Owls sticking to the ground
in an effort to iron out mistakes
in the UCLA loss and to get ready
for the Ponies.
Meanwhile, the Mustangs' crip-
pling injury ilst continued to mount.
Mustangs Lose Nix
Doyle Nix, regular left end on
both offense and defense, sprained
an ankle in drills Wednesday and
offensive left tackle Lou Miller,
who has been suffering from a
"charley horse" for a week, has
not responded to treatment, Coach
Rusty Russell said. Russell said
both Nix and Miller may miss the
Rice game.
I The Baylor Bears, who play
Texas Tech "Saturday at Lubbock
in the only non-conference game
involving a southwest team, polish-
ed their passing attack in workout
Wednesday with Billy Hooper, Cot-
ton Davidson and Frank Peschel
doing the throwing.
Teh Bruins also worked on punt-
ing with Davidson, Don Carpen-
ter and L. G .Dupree sharing time.

After picking twenty-four out of
thirty right last week, missing
three out of twenty high school
games and the same number of
college games out of ten picks, this
would be a good time to put away
our crystal ball and call it quits.
And no one would like to do that
more than we would but the boss
says "pick 'em" so here goes.
But before we get into that un-
certain job we would like to
do that more than we would but the
boss says "pick 'em" so here goes.
But before we get into that un-
certain job we would like to leave
this observation—we may not be
able to boast of such a high per-
centage again. In our four weeks
of handicapping grid games, both
high school and college, this season
we have built up a record of 69
right and 27 wrong for an average
of .719.
There are four games on tap
this week in District 1-AAA with
Sweetwater and Lamesa resting.
Plainview plays Austin of El Paso;
Big Spring goes to Ysleta, Vernon
gets class AA Childress and Snyder
plays Cisco of the same class.
In our books we're marking Big
Spring up for a 19-14 win over
Ysleta. It could be closer than that
and a win by the Ysleta outfit
ould be no upset.
Vernon has been sputtering along
so far this season but against much
stronger opposition than they will
encounter this week. We like the
Lions 25-7.
And we like Snyder against a Cis-
co eleven that is not to be under-
rated. It could be closer than this
but we think it will be about 27-
14.
District 1-AAA has yet to have
a perfect week this season and so
we will pick hapless Plainview for
the club to lose this week. The
Bulldogs will be outclassed against
Austin of El Paso and should drop
a 20-6 decision or there abouts.
Roscoe is running into more trou-
ble than club has encountered in
many a moon—and they will run
into still more this week. The Plow-

Action This Week
With the Sweetwater Mustangs
idle for the second straight week,
gridiron action will be furnished by
the Junior High Colts and the B
team this week. The Colts will
play at home and the Ponies in
Big Spring.
Coach J. B. Gibbs' Colts will
play host to hte Big Spring Calves
tonight in a contest scheduled for
Mustang Bowl starting at 8 o'clock.
The Ponies will be in Big Spring
Saturday afternoon for their con-
tested.
The B teams of the two schools
also played a nip-and-tuck game
in their previous meeting this
season, Sweetwater winning by a
19-13 score. That game was play-
ed in the Bowl here.
Coach Gibbs has been pushing
the Colts hard this week in pre-
paration for their first night con-
test before the home folk. No
changes are anticipated in the
starting lineup as all of the Colts
are in condition for the game physi-
cally and mentally.
Harold Hobbs, Don Aiken, Joe
Bob Bland and Dickie Allen will
man the backfield for the Colts on
offense with Bubba Myers and
David Roberts at ends; Bobby
Weems and Floyd Brannon, tack-
les; Herbert Brice and Bryce Hart-
graves, guards, and Bobby Hart-
graves, center.
Connard Jenkins, Don Bryan,
Billy Ausburne, Larry Summers
and Jimmy Feagan sub into the
lineup on defense.
Coach Tommy Hinson plans no
major changes in his lineup for
the Pony contest in Big Spring. The
Ponies were idle last week and are
are in fine condition for the con-
test with injuries at a minimum.
The game in Big Spring will be
played at 2:30 o'clock Saturday af-
ternoon.
An admission price of 50 cents
for adults and 25 cents for students
will be charged for the Junior High
school game. Game time is 7:30
o'clock.

Defending Class AAA Champion
Breckenridge's future football for-
tunes for 1952 will hang in the bal-
ance Friday at a District 3-AAA
committee meeting, District vice
chairman J. D. King has revealed.
Breekenridge Principal John Cul
well brought the matter into the
open early this week when he vol-
UP—A lone | untarily notified authorities that his
team had violated a University
Interscholastic League rule prohib
iting players from competing in
more than one game within five
days.
Culwell said that Coach Joe Ker-
bel, in his first season under Texas
rules, had used four players against
El Paso Austin last week after
these players also had participat-
ed a day earlier in a Breekenridge
B team game against Abilene.
At Austin, the league's athletic
director, Dr. Rhea Williams, said j
three options faced the committee, j
He said it could either forfeit the
Bucks' 37-to-14 non-conference vic-
tory over the El Paso school; rule j
Breekenridge ineligible for district'
play or recommend to the league I
that Breekenridge be either sus-
pended or placed 011 probation.

Baytown Meets Temple
In Class A, four conference games
are scheduled in District 12-Wil-
mer-Hutchins at Lancaster, Seago-
ville at Piano, Kaufman at Rock-
wall and Richardson at Ferris. One
other game Thursday night, Cros-
by at Dayton, rounds out the card.
Baytown, of 8-AAAA, plays at
Temple, of 5-AAA, Friday night in
a game matching two undefeated
teams and the top tilt in high
school football this weekend.
Both are strong contenders for
state championship honors in their
respective classes and the sellout
crowd expected at Temple will see
two of the state's top quarterbacks
in action, Gerald Orton of Bay-
town and Doyle Traylor of Tem-
ple.
Running a good second to the
Baytown-Temple battle is an 8-AAA
tilt at Alice pitting the Alice Coy-
6tes against the McAllen Bulldogs.
Both are undefeated and both have
won two games in district play.
