situation that existed in 1905.
Can’t say tor sure, but am
personal.y convinced that some
of those folks in the Yoakum
press box that night were scouts
from teams that are booked to
play the Bulldogs in the near
future To distinguish the differ-
ence between a ’scout’ and a
news reporter may he defined
that the former is there for the
role purpoe* of helping ’their’
particular team, while a writer
is there for the purpose of pass-
ing along the nows to the pub-
lic.
Mayhap the little topside house
should be called a scout box
rather than a press box.
Know one thing for dang sure,
this persons ain’t going to a
strange town Tuesday in order
to obtain a press box seat for
the game next Friday.
Why should a hometown writer
have to go to the trouble one
photographer did in order to
have the privilege to sit boxed
up or roam around with im-
punity, but that is just what on*
did. But ha scribbled a note to
some top dog in the Interschlos-
tic League headquarters in Aus-
tin te get such a paw.
