Spring Football
Almost Out
Frank Glass of Newman high
school came in third in one of (he
closest 440-yard dash heats ever
witnessed in the stale meet. Eddie
Gray of Baytown was first run-
ning the distance in 50 seconds
flat. A fellow school mate Eddie
Bussa of Baytown was second nos- !
ink Glass by inches.
Following Glass was Arthur I
Stockstill of Weatherford for fourth,
Johnson of San Antonio, Brecken-
ridge, fifth and Roy Kimsey of
Midland sixth. Jimmie Weaver the
boy picked by most sports news to
win the state failed to place.
Eddie Bussa turned up the dark
horse to take the second place
nosing out Glass and Kimsey.
AUSTIN, May 9 —UP— Spring
football practice will be abolished
ne^Wyear in all high school divi-
sions except Class AAAA and AAA,
and will be cut from 30 to 21 days
in those conferences, it was an-
nounced Saturday.
The Texas Interscholastic League
announced results of a referen-
dum of member schools showing
smaller schools voted overwhelm-
ingly to abolish spring football
practice.
The announcement was made at
a breakfast meeting here Satur-
day* v
The rule will become effective at
the end of the 1953 football season.
Also voted into effect was an
amendment to the out-of-state com-!
petition rule which will permit ath-
letes to take part in competition
during summer months out of Tex-
as if the amateur rule is not vio-
lated.
Class AAAA schools voted 28-16 in
favor of 21 days’ spring football
practice, and Class AAA voted
31-2B
However, smaller schools gave a
top-heavy vote against it.
Class AA voted 81-58 to abolish
spring football practice. Class A
voted 118-53 to abolish; Class B
voted 108-59; and six-man football
schools voted 57-29.
Under the rules, football training
for the 1953 season shall not begin
until Sept. 1, but football schedules
for next season are not affected by
the £tlc.
Spring Practice In
Basketball May Go
G. B. Wadzeek, San Angelo su-
perintendent, called for basketball
practice periods under which ‘bas-
ketball would have a starting time
similar to its big brother, football.”
Some schools, he said, have full-
timw basketball coaches who oper-
ate^ln a 12-month basis. Schools
operating on a part-time basis, lie
added, are al a disadvantage.
Some coaches at the meeting
said it was "not light” to restrict
football practice and not limit bas-
ketball. But a minority said a lim-
ited basketball practice was un-
enforceable. Reliant said, "I fail
to see anything wrong with a boy
playing basketball.”

Dallas, Brenham And Sugar Land
Win First Place In State Meet
AUSTIN, May 9—UP—Dallas
Sunset, Brenham and Sugar Land
rolled to state track and field
championships Saturday as the
state's top schoolboy athletes set
a blazing pace by bettering two na-
tional scholastic records in chalk-
ing up four new state marks and
a spectacular total of 22 division
standards.
One of the greatest assaults ever
staged against the record books
saw a second better-lhan-nationa!
record performance as Houston
Lamar’s Roy Thompson set a blist-
ering 18.6 second mark in the 180-
urd low hurdles.
retaining its Class B champion-
ship.
Thompson raced the 180-yard low
hurdles in three-tenths of a second
faster than the national scholastic
record set by Steve Turner, Glen-
dale. Calif., in 1950.
However, neither of the two
marks will be recognized as na-
tional records because of strong
winds. A 15-mile per hour tailwind
aided Thompson's effort.
J. Frank Daugherty, rangy Glton
flash, turned in a 20.5 second race
in the 220-yard dash in prelimin-
aries Friday — two-tenths of a
second better than the national
mark set by Jesse Owens, Cleve-
land, Ohio, in 1933 — but the West
Texan was helped by a tailwind.
Baytown staged a last-minute
surge to come within little more
than a point of championship glory,
turning in a 3:22.5 mile relay, and
clipping 2.1 seconds off the old re-
cord established by Corpus Christi
in 1947.
The sensational schoolboy mile
relay performance — one of the
four overall state records to be
chalked up in the two-day inter-
scholastic league meet — was turn-
ed in by Jimmy W'atson, Vie Davis,
Eddie Bussa and Eddie Gray.
Dallas look over the Class AA
crown by chalking up 38 points
and nosing out Baytown, which re-
corded 36 3-4 points. Brenham won
its second straight class A title
easily with 58 points while Sugar
Land scored the same number in

three hits in four trips to the plate

Vacancy In Border
Conference Loop
ABILENE. Tex., May 9 —UP—
The first major step was taken Fri-
day by the Border Conference Exe-
utive Committee to replace Arizona
State of Flagstaff, which withdraws
from the circuit at the end of the
current school year. The commit-
tee, which also made several deci-
sions regarding conference rules,
was holding its annual spring meet-
ing here.
The committee voted to pul on
the agenda at its winter meeting in
El Paso a motion changing the re-
quirements for admission to the
loop from a unanimous vote of the
committee to a majority vote plus
one.
Two schools, thought to be Mid-
western University of Wichita Falls
and North Texas State College of
Denton, have hinted that they would
like to come into the Border Con-
ference.
Newly elected officers to the
committee were named at the meet-
ing. Alfred Thomas, Jr., Arizona
State of Tempo registrar, is the
new president and Dr. E. J. Knapp,
chairman of tile physics depart-
ment at Texas Western of El Paso,
is vice-president. Re-elected secre-
tary-treasurer of the committee is

Colon Crop News
Mostly Unfavorable
NEW YORK, May 9—UP—Cot-
ton futures rose to the highest
levels since early January this
week before the market leveled off
under realizing and hedge selling.
At Friday’s close the list ruled
10 points lower to 3 points higher,
or 50 cents a bale lower to 15 cents
a bale higher than the preceding
week.
Market observers thought that
after the May position expires
traders will turn more attention to
crop nows, export developments
and the factors normally instru-
mental in shaping market senti-
ment.
Crop news was mostly on the un-
favorable side, with the emphasis
being placed on the backwardness
of plowing, seeding and cultivation
in a number of areas because of
recent persistent rains and cold
temperatures.
A report prepared by Fairchild
Publications, indicated cotton farm-
ers will plant 27,034,000 acres this
year against 26,460,000 planted last
year.
