Dartmouth runners in competi-

out, "he should come home

Sport Shots
By WALT
Lovers of amateur sports ap-
plaud the action of the Board
of City Development in approv-
ing a formal invitation to hold
the Gulf AAU swimming con-
tests in conjunction with the
annual Sweetwater water car-
nival. This will attract wide-
spread attention over the entire
Southwest, and further focus the
eyes of the area on Sweetwater
as the "Recreation Center of
West Texas." When perhaps 200
competitors with their friends
attend, as well us hundreds of
fans from the area, it revolves
itself into a good business propo-
sition. too.
We feel the H' D is to be
commended for it.4 attention
to sports. This activity is by
no means the overshadow-
ing one of the board. It
takes part in many, many
other activities that build
the city and make business
better not only for the busi-
ness firms, but for all
who live here ,ind make
their livelihood in Sweet-
water and vicinity. The
sports events do get major
publicity by their very na-
ture, and for that reason
are valuable as boosting ac-
j tivities.
There is another angle, too.
The sports events tend to pa.v
most of their way. sometimes
all ill' il. Thus tin- it('I) is able
(<> guide the widespread pub-
licity at nominal expense to
the tax-payers. This feature
should he approved l y Sweet-
I water citizens. Kor instance, the
; I'iratcs-While S<>\ exhibition
base ha 11 game In-1-<- April 7 is
played <ni a percentage basis,
favorable to the hoard, and the
addition of the state swimming
meets hi the water carnival
with plans for revenue in their
connection will go far toward
paying for the annual carnival.
Compliment is due Trainer
Bobby Clark of the Sweetwat-
I er AAU program in deciding
that his amateurs need more
training before enterijjfg stiff
!district and state bouts. it
proves that the McDonald post
! American Legion, in approving
('lark's decision, is employing
judgment over enthusiasm in
: guiding the program. A well-
trained athlete in stiff com-
petition rarely gets injured
but a novice no master
how willing, or how much natu-
ral ability he shows, may be
j endangered. This proves that
the program is in good hands,
:and that Clark is a heady train-
er.
We are pleased at the in-
terest shown in the new
Sweetwater Pistol and Rifle
club, capably headed by Dr.
P. T. Quast, president.
Twenty-four members now
are on the roster, mats for
prone-position shooting have
been acquired, membership
cards issued and everything
is moving along fine in the
organization. The city is to
be congratulated that this
new group is sponsoring a
worthwhile program, and
putting it over with a bang
(no pun intendedi.
i-'aus, they're off: We mean
Ihe Mustang gridsters, under the
guidance of Coaches l.aurance
lYidtly and Adrian Clark, who
Monday started spring prac-
tice. By the way, we heard high
compliment of the Sweetwater
coaches from some San Angelo1
fails who know their lootball.
Tliey declared that the Mus-
tangs were the hest-coachetl ele-
ven they saw on the high school
gridiron the past year, and they i
saw a lot of good teams. It's a!
nice bouquet, coming from arch
! rivals, as il were.

Cattlemen Look
For 'Good Grazers'
In the early days of ranching,
i before cattlemen developed beef
raising into a specialized indust-
I ry. ranchmen were on the alert
for a type of beef cattle that were
excellent foragers and would do
well on "nothing but grass and
plenty of water."
The Hereford is recognized
today as the premier grazing
animal. *
Originally developed to meet
the demand for a medium for
converting tlie luxuriant grasses
and abundant forage of the west-
ern part of England into beef,
the Hereford has proven its
worth for more than 100 years.
The Hereford attains a higher
finish and produces a better
quality of beef on grass than
any other beef animal.
Record prices at market cen-
ters for grass fattened cattle
have been made to those having
Hereford breeding.
