prospective gridders to report to
him at the high school gymnasi-
um at any time during the day
of August 39th for a briefing on
the planned schedule for the opr
ening practice sessions.
Practically all boys expected
to report to Smith on the last
named data have been working
at various jobs during the vaca-
tion months, but Smith express-
es! examination before they are
eligible for the team and Smith
suggests that every boy have his
family physician conduct such
examinations. However, Dr. Har-
old High, team physician, will
examine all players between the
hours of 1 and 2 p.m. on August
28th at the school gym who have
not had a physical prior to that
date, Smith said.

are expected to make it interest-

the loop this year, but ore not
chosen to cop top honors. That
dubious designation has been
tagged to the Kingsville Brah-
mas because of their fine play
last year and due to the experi-
enced hands who will return to
the club this fall. Not only are
the Brahmas picked to win Dis-
trict honors for 1957, they are
also chosen by prognosticators
to go ‘pretty well’ along in the
state race.
The first opportunity to watch
this year's club in action will be
offered the night of September
5th at Cobbler Stadium, when
Smith’s charges face the strong
Lockhart Lions, a AA group that
is all but conceded honors in
their district even before the
season opens. Lockhart is also

GAME LIKED
BY All STARS
Played By Outstanding
Athletes In Every
Field
By LEE JOUGLAKD
Written far the United Frees
NEW YORK, Au. 17.-(UP)-
If there Is one sport, that appeals
to stars In every other sport, it
just has to be bowling. In touring
the country as an exhibition bow-
ler, I found standout performers
in every sport you can name-
baseball, football, boxing, basket-
ball, the words—who also excel
on the bowling lanes.
Take baseball, for instance.
I'U bet you didn’t know that one
of the game’s real hook—baU ar-
tists—and I mean bowling hook—
ball artists—is lefty BUly Pierce.
The Chicago AWhite Sox star is a
lefty bowler, too, incidentally.
BUly sharpens his game during
the winter months at his home
outside Detroit and finds it a
source of real family fun. His
wife, Gloria, has taken to the
sport, and his 4-year-old young-
ster, BUly Jr., comes along to
watch.
Fax Own Alleys—
Billy's teammate, NeUie Fox, is
even more of a bowling fan. Nel-
lie owns and operates twenty al-
leys in his home town of Cham-
bers burg, Pa., and his recreation
center is one of the East's real
bowling showplaces.
Equipped with automatic pin-
spotters and underlane baU re-
turns, "Nellie Fox Bowl,” as it's
been named, operates 24 hours a
day. And NeUie admits he's his
own best customer. He belongs to
two ABC-sanctioned bowling lea-
gues and works out on the lanes
several times a week.
“It's tough to walk by that row
of lanes,” Nellie says, "and not
want to toss a ball at those pins.”
Pro footballers are another
group who agree that bowling is
healthful and relaxing. Otto Gra-
ham, formerly of the Cleveland
Browns and one of the game’s
all-time greats, finds bowling a
wonderful sport because as he
puts It: "You haven’t got eleven
guys trying to knock the living
dayUghts out of you.”
Uus Mauls The Maples—
If you think Gus Lesnevich
packed a wallop in the ring, you
should see his bowling "punch.”
Gus mauls the maples at lanes
near his home in Cliffside Park,
N. J., and boasts an average that
approaches the 180 mark. Jim
Braddock, Tony Canzoneri, and
Rocky Marciano are boxers who
look to bowling for competitive
fun without the rock and sock of
the prize ring.
The tallest bowler in the coun-
try—he is the tallest basketbaU
player, too, I guess—is without a
doubt Wilt The Stilt Chamberlain
of the University of Kansas. Wilt,
who stretches to just under that
real tall person can’t be a
good bowler. Despite his stature,
he’s able to bowl with the best of
the amateurs.

Soviet master spy Rudolph I.
Abel to use some of the $21,000

A NEWSPAPER WAS A RARI1,
IN MANY AMERICAN COMMUNITIES!
Then—a newspaper was a thing to be marveled at
—for memories of the Press’ fight for freedom were
fresh in mind. Although newspapers are commar
in our country today, their existence should not be
taken for granted. It is a wonderful fact that al*
most all of our modem communities have their own
hometown newspapers, freely edited by members
of their own communities—spreading the news,
stimulating the business of the community, arid
keeping their readers informed of important events
elsewhere. It is well to keep in mind that a Ire'
^ress and a free people are an unbeatable team
