New Tire Ruling
Has Little Effect
On 3A Schedules
Group Of Athletes Now
Getting Into Shape
For Season
By Louis F. ChamberMIn
Official ruling of Mark Mr-
Gee, State OPA director, to the
effect that buses can not be
used for hauling athletes to and
from football games makes lit-
tle change in plans for a big
grid season in the 3-A confer-
ence.
Midland has been trying to
fill an open Oct. 16 date in its
schedule, but in general the
teams are about ready to go.
Smaller towns and rural
schools are expected to be hard j
hit. by the ruling, inasmuch as i
rail facilities can not be sub-
stituted for the customary bus I
travel between towns. Many;
towns are abandoning football
for the duration.
Plans announced by Sweet-
water's head coach. Laurance
Priddy, included use of railroads
except for the Lamesa game.
Private cars, if available, will
have to be substituted for that
trip.
Odessa has used buses for
hauling players, and may devote
one bus for that use exclusive-
ly. It will mean the bus will not
be eligible for rationed tires
and will have to be stored after
football season.
The states of Illinois, Ohio
and New York are said to per-
mit use of buses for hauling
athletes without penalty; but
the McGee ruling definitely has
fixed Texas policy on the oth-
er side.
Coach Mack Alexander
will be line coach this sea-
son at the Mustang institu-
tion. Head Coach Prickly
announced today. It has
been known for some time
that Alexander would be af-
filiated with the coaching
staff at Newman.
Priddy stated that Alexander
would be at the high school
practice field through football
season, but would conduct min-
or sports and a big intermural
program at junior high.
Junior high athletes, ineligi-
ble for the first Mustang team,
can play on the B team, and it
is expected that a number of
the larger boys will practice
regularly under their old coach,
Alexander, on the high school
field.
Ten or a dozen Mustangs
have been reporting to Priddy
at 5 in the afternoons for pre-
season conditioning, and have
been working out at Softball or
in gym work. As the date of
school opening approaches the
coach expects to see more out.
Practice will start about Tues-
day September 1, he stated,
with regular school term sche-
duled to open the following
Tuesday. September 8, after La-
bor Day.
Coach Adrian Clark will
round out the Mustang
coaching staff, having char-
ge of the huckfield again.
He has some fast, though
light boys, as prospects for
the ground-gaining posts;
and can be counted on to -
put a smoothly function-
ing backfield into action.
Midland's Bombardiers have
been shod an assistant coach,
and Odessa also has sought a
coach. Other rivals of the dist-
rict will function about as they
did last season.
In regard to the tire situa-
tion, McGee said that school
buses, used to transport ath-
letic teams, become ineligible
for rationed tires. Many of the
smaller schools depend upon
their buses to transport their
athletic teams.
McGee made his ruling at a
meeting with a committee rep-
resenting the Texas high
school football coaches associa-
tion.
"We might as well face the
facts," McGee said. There is not
much rubber and there's going
to be less.
"I'm as enthusiastic a foot-
ball fan as anybody, but the
rationing regulations are defi-
nite on the point that a school
bus is eligible for tires only
when used exclusively for
transporting teachers and child-
ren to and from school."
McGee added that schools
should reconcile themselves to
the realization that athletic
contests involving travel must
be curtailed drastically for the
duration.
Chartered buses are not avail-
able this year under an ODT
order banning them except for
essential services. Schools have
relied on that type of equip-
ment in past years to transport
their teams.

NEW YORK, August 19 --
(UP)—Running horses, an un-
dependable lot because of the
fragility that comes with inten-
se breeding i for streamline
speed, have disappointed many
a classic crowd because of their
unwillingness to compete —be-
cause of their own illnesses, in-
juries of merely because of the
weather and a muddy track.
Hence it comes as a great
surprise that the unexpected
comeback of a big-name horse—
Alsab—should boost a poten-
tially ordinary weekend con-
test into one of the year's clas-
sics. We refer, of course, to the

He urged poultrymen to take

In the last. 18 months the

Credit must be given outfield-

Louis Cardinals for a perform-
ance that definitely is of champ-
ionship calibre on a non-chaij

An early season slump that
lasted until July 4 kept Slaughter

down among the league's weak-
er hitters but now at 26 andJn
his fifth year with the Carding,
Enos has climbed back among
the Elite faster than anyone in
the majors—with the exception
of Ted Williams.
Slaughter collected a hit i0
two trips as Max Lanier

shutout over the Cubs last

Dodgers league lead to 6 1-2
games. Lani.er gave up sev^
