THE HERALD. BAY CITY, TEXAS

Thursday. November 6. 1941
FRIDAY BRINGS THREE TRADITIONAL GRID GAMES
They Are to 30-A
AsTex.-Ags Are
To Southwestern
It’s nearly Armistice Day again
and three tough, annual football
frames will be reeled off this Friday
night in District 30-A.
They are Eagle Lake vs. Bay
City, Richmond >'s. Rosenberg,
and Wharton vs. El Campo. Each
of these games is packed with
tradition and color.
They are to District 30-A as the
Texas-Texas A. & M. game is to
the Southwestern Conference.
No matter how strong one team
is or how weak the other is up to
game time, things seem to be
equalized when they actually clash.
Because of traditional rivalry,
which is always the best drawing
card, some 9,000 fans will see the
three games, it is estimated. Eagle
Lake comes to Bay City, El Campo
goes to Wharton, and Rosenberg
travels a short distance to Rich-
mond.
1Bo3ing, the seventh member of the
ilcague, takes on Sugar Land in the
.Sucrose Saucer.
A dispatch from El Campo
states that its tilt with Wharton,
scheduled for El Campo, has been
switched to Wharton due to in-
efficient seating capacity in
Herder Stadium. Wharton has
- agreed to the change and will play
in Ell Campo the next two years,
1943-43. The Rice Birds have two
weeks to prepare for the Tigers.
Over in neighboring District 29-A
this week, Galena Park goes to Tex-
as City, Alvin journeys to Freeport,
West Columbia will be in Angleton,
and Huntsville comes to Pasadena,
-^n the lower bracket, Aldine goes
> Webster and Cypress is due at
rPorte.

Bell Says Texas
Greatest Club
In Loop History
Matty Bell, Southern Methodist’s
crafty head coach, stated that The
University of Texas Longhorns are
the greatest team in the history of
the Southwest Conference.
“Yes they’re better than the Ag-
gies of 1939 and 1940. Better than
our Rose Bowl club of 1935.”
Hinton, With Little
Material, Turns
Out Scrappy Teams
Eagle Lake High School has the
smallest enrollment of any school
in District 30-A. Each year only a
handful of boys turn out for foot-
ball but crafty W. B. Hinton, the
Eagles mentor, manages to fashion
scrappy elevens.
This year Coach Hinton has about
twenty boys on his squad. Although
Eagle Lake hasn’t won a single dis-
trict tilt, the boys have turned in
hard-fought games despite their lit-
tle experience and the lack of cap-
able reserves.
Outstanding to date on the Eagle
Lake team are Jack Ham, a two-
year letterman; Wesley Causey, an-
other two-year letterman; Freddie
Estlinbaum, a one-year letterman,
and Frazar Wallace, a one-year let-
terman,
Appropriately, these boys are the
only lettermen on the Eagle Lake
squad.
No One Can Wear
Red Cecil’s Famous
Number 99!
The Galveston News recently car-
ried an entertaining sports article
concerning Walter “Red” Cecil,
Freeport’s all-time great athlete.
“The No. 99 jersey which Cecil
wore is reverently wrapped in cello-
phone in the school’s trophy case.
. . . Cecil, who was Freeport’s one-
man track team, having won the
State Meet several years ago and
led the football team to the region-
al championship, is working in Free-
port at present.
“On the No. 99 jersey, which the
red-head wore during his high
school career,-are the words; ‘This
football jersey No. 99 w'as worn by
Walter (Red) Cecil during the sea-
son of 1938. In appreciation of his
splendid record no other future
member of Freeport High School’s
football team will wear the num
her 99.’ ”
Mustangs continued their district
victories by downing the Lolita'
Brahmas by a 97-to-0 score on a wot
field at Markham last week. All
three teams that took the field con-
tributed to the scoring and all
squadmen saw plenty of action in
punching over fifteen touchdowns.
The starting line-up broke loose al-
most immediately with a series of
long runs for scores and soon turn-
ed the game over to their under-
studies.
The Ponies play the Crescent
Bluejays here on Friday night in
another district battle. The Blue-
jays are the present district champ
ions und a stirring contest is an-
ticipated.

Julius Beats
Drums For
Armistice Tilt
Julius Gensberg, superintendent
of the Wharton Public Schools, is
busy beating the drums these days
for the Wharton County All-Stars-
197th C. A. Regiment football game,
which will be played in Wharton
Tuesday night, November 11.
“Thought you might like to give
a little plug in the paper so that
we could expect a few ardent fans
from Bay City,” Mr. Gensberg
states. “The.game is a benefit af-
fair, a part of the money goes to
the Army team and a part to our
U. S. O. Coordinating Council.”
School children get in for 25
cents plus tax and adults for 50
cents plus tax.
“Our All-Stars arc former foot-
ball players from the county, some
of whom are still in high school but
ineligible for Interscholastic League
football competition, and the others
have played in the past two or three
years in high school and in college,
Mr. Gensberg says.
“Our backfield will have a few
standouts like Guess, Miles of El
Campo, Frankum of Crescent, Rey-
nolds of El Campo, Macha, Wade,
and others. In the line we have
Vordick, Howard, Motal of El Cam-
po, Stoppenhagen, Rogers of Louise,
Hudgins, Newlin, Gibson, Billing-
ton and Cook of Boling, and a num-
ber of others.
“I think those that I have men-
tioned should give the Army team
a nice evening of entertainment,”
Mr. Gensberg concludes.
Between halves, several bands, in-
cluding an Army band, will be on
hand to furnish the music.
YOUNG PULLS FOR STEERS
Horace Young, S. M. U.’s block-
ing back, said after the Texas-S.
M. U. game last Saturday:
“Texas is the best team I ever
played against. I hope they go all
the waj. They were clean. And boy
arc they smart!”

Randolph Win*
Over Missouri
Regiment, 33-0
A hard hitting team of Ramblers
from Randolph Field, Texas, Satur-
day afternoon used its Varsity squad
only in the first and fourth quarters
to debeat the 203rd Coast Artillery
(AA) Houn’ Dawgs, 33 to 0. The
Ramblers scored three times before
the first quarter had ended and re-
placed the entire first team with
reserves. The reserves were threat-
ened several times, but held the
Houn’ Dawgs scoreless.
Capt. H. G. MacDaniel, Rambler
coach, at the start of the final
quarter sent his first string back
into the game, and marched over
a tired and worn 203rd eleven for
two more touchdowns and convert-
ed after each score.
It was the fifth game of the sea-
son for the Ramblers but marked
the first for the Dawgs.
The Coast Artillery next week
will journey to Ellington Field,
which earlier in the season was de-
feaed, 20 o 0, by the Ramblers.—

Coach Driscoll Says Daily Better
Back Than Zapalac, Bellville Flash
The Black Cats have no alibis after losing that 14-6 ver-
dict to the Richmond Tigers. They simply ran up against a
superior team.
In this speedster, Daily, Richmond has one of the best
schoolboy backs in the State. Coach Vic Driscoll believes
Daily is the best back he has ever seen in Class A or B foot-
ball with the exception of Jack Fry, former Jeff Davis flash.
And that’s some statement.
Driscoll goes so far as to take Daily over Willie Zapalac,
the fine Bellville back who is now playing for Texas A. & M
Daily is one swell ball player and a brilliant college pros-
pect. And we’d like to hand a few verbal orchids to those two
“H” boys, Hurta and Horak, who definitely showed that the
Tigers are not entirely dependent on Daily for their offensive
attack.
After the defeat, Bay City fans motored home won-
dering how in the world Boling ever beat Richmond.
Well, no doubt the answer is that Boling has the better
football team. Very seldom the weaker team comes out
on the long end of the score.
i
Daily, Writes Two Anonymous
Boling Fans, Did Play In Game
Speaking of Boling and Richmond, we ran an article in last week’s
Herald stating that Daily did not participate in the Boling-Richmond
game, which the Sadlermen won, 12 to 0, thereby implying that the
score probably would have been different had the great triple-threater
been in the tilt.
The article was written on information given this department from
what we thought was an authentic and unimpeachable source.
But here’s two anonymous letters from sports living in Boling.
The first says: "This article of October 30 needs correction in your
next issue. Daily played with his first string throughout the entire
game. Yours truly. An Eye Witness of Boling, Texas. Thank you.”
And here’s the second: “I note in reading your sport page in The
Herald you sak^that Daily, Richmond’s star back, did not play in the
Boling game, the only game Richmond lost. Well, I was at the game
and Daily was in the game, although he was just a ball player against
Boling. Hurta was the outstanding back. Daily’s famous end sweeps
you mentioned were nothing but yards lost for Richmond in the Boling
game. The Boling Bulldogs have a great team and very good coaches
in Jerry Sadler and Melvin Reimer. Yours Truly, Boling Fan.”
Thanks a lot for your letters, sports. We’re mighty glad to get
this correction. Yes, indeed, Boling has a great ball club, a club that
will win its second straight District 30-A title, we believe. In Campos
and Ganske, Boling has two of the four best backs in the league and
they surely will receive all-district honors. The Boling line is the
scrappiest, when the enemy gets near the Bulldogs goal line, that we’ve
ever seew.
When a team has beaten Richmond, Bay City, Rosenberg, El
Campo, and Eagle Lake on successive Fridays and has not had a
single point scored against them, then this team must be powerful.
And this department heartily agrees that in Jerry Sadler and Melvin
Reimer Boling has two great coaches, two of the best. Boling fans,
indeed, should be elated over their coaching set-up.
We are not personally acquainted with Sadler but we do know
Reimer, who is one swell guy in any man’s books.
Maybe These Statements Will Convince;
Why Isn’t Earl Johnson A Back?
Sweeny Bulldogs Win In
MudFromLeagueCity,2 7-0
The Sweeny Bulldogs copped
very muddy game from the League
City, Cardinals, 27-0. The game
was the Bulldogs all the way with
the Cardinals penetrating the mid
field stripe only once and that for
only two yards. The opening quar-
ter was scoreless and both teams
fumbled frequently. Mid-way the
second period Schwanke, Bulldog
center, passed to Hammond for the
opening score. A pass, Chenault to
L. Cole, netted the point conversion.
The Cardinals came back fighting
and after a deep kickoff by Whit-
lock, as the half ended, they had
worked the ball up to the Bulldog
38.
The second holf got under way
very slowly with the weather very
cold. The Bulldogs again got start-
ed. After a pass—Chenault to
Reeves, who laterallel to Hammond
—was ruled a forward lateral af-
ter Hammond had scored from the
15. On the next play, LeMasters
moved from end to tail back, scored
on a wide run around left end. A
pass intended for Cole was incom-
plete on the try for point. Later in
the same period, Chenault scqred on
an end run. Schwanke drop-kicked
the extra point.
The finul Bulldog counter came on
an end around with LeMasters trav.
cling thirty yards for the score.
The Sweeny reserves took over and
played the remainder of the game,
Kctchum and Harris were out-
standing for the losers. Chenault
and Reeves showed well on the de-
fense fo;1 the Bulldogs.

The colorful grid parade rolls
right along and here we are again
with our predictions for the week:
BAY CITY-EAGLE LAKE: Coach
And back to the Texas-Texas A.
& M. ticket situation. Here’s a line
from Byron Winstead, director of
information at College Station:
“The unprecedented sale of tickets
cleaned us out several weeks ago,”
And here’s a terse statement from
Alice Archer, football ticket mana-
ger at The University of Texas:
“All tickets to the A. & M.-Texas
game, both reserved and bleacher
seats, have now been sold.”
So that’s that for the nine hun-
dredth and ninety-ninth time.
Crowding all of their scoring in
the second quarter, the undefeated
Alvin Yellow-jackets walloped the

we wonder why he is not at the
tailback position instead of down
in the line.
We’ve been meaning to ask Dris-
coll this but it always slips our
mind. Perhaps there is some good
reason but Earl rarely fails to gain
valuable yardage or even touch-
downs when he is called upon to do
his little specialty. ’
It is our opinion that the present
first string backfield is too slow
for the Notre Dame system.
Now, our opinions, of course, are
simply ours—a layman’s point of
view.
CUERO IS UNBEATEN
Cuero’s Gobblers scored in every
period Friday night to trounce Port
Lavaca 27 to 0, to continue unbeaten
in District 38-A after three con-
tests.
KIRWIN BEATS FREEPORT
Kirwin Buccaneers of Galveston
defeated Freeport, 38 to 7, by inter-
cepting eight of eleven passes. Ra-

Please, There Are
No More Turkey
Day Tickets
Special To The Herald
COLLEGE STATION, Nov. 6.—
Despite the fact that three news
stories have announced the fact that
there are no tickets of any kind left
for the Texas A. & M.-University
of Texas football game here on
Thanksgiving, November 27, the
number of phone calls, telegrams
and letters continues to increase
daily with all departments of the
college sharing in the flood of re-
quests.
A check up on all departments
which might have saved some
tickets found them all in the same
shape—not a single ticket left and
that included the office of Dr. T.
O. Walton, president of the col-
lege; the athletic department and
all the coaches and players there;
the office of student activities, the
department of information and col-
lege publications, and the Associa-
tion of Former Students of Texas
A. & M. College.
No reservations were taken for
the game so there is no chance of
any being unclaimed just before
game time, E. W. Hooker, Aggie
ticket manager, said.
Ticket sales opened to former
students and pass holders on Aug-
ust 1 and to the general public on
September 1. By the time of the
opening game on September 27, not
a ticket remained in the stadium
and the 3500 unreserved bleacher
seats went on sale. Those lasted
less than 10 days and since that
time there have been no tickets of
any kind anywhere in the stadium.
Temporary box seats moved out
along with the stadium seats and
even the press box and scout booth
are filled to overflowing.
PLEASE —THERE ARE NO
MORE TEXAS TICKETS.
W. B. Hinton’s Eagles always point
to the Bay City tilt and, desnite the
strength of their team, they*rise to
great heights in the annual clash
with the Cats. However, we’re pick-
ing Bay City, 13 to 7.
BOLING-SUGAR LAND: Coach
Jerry Sadler’s championship-bound
Bulldogs will have a very easy
work-out in this non-district game,
Boling, 40 to 0.
EL CAMPO-WHARTON: This
traditional game will be hard-
fought. Out of the hat, Wharton,
14-13.
ROSENBERG-RICHMOND: This
will be another hard-fought game,
despite the prowess of Ed Cherry’s
Tigers. But we’re stringing along
with Daily and Richmond, 21 to 7.
S. M. U.-TEXAS A. & M.: This
is a good spot for the Aggies to get
bumped, some sports observers aver.
But we kinda believe the Farmers
are going to get through to Thanks-
giving without a defeat. A. & M.
14, S. M. U. 7.
TEXAS-BAYLOR: Jack Wilson
will b$ no problem for the stout
Texas line. Crain, Harkins, Mauldin,
et al, by that old 34 to 0.
T. C. U.-CENTENARY: The hap-
less Gents again will be rolled over.
It’s the Froggifc, 46 to 0.
RICE-ARKANSAS: This should
be a whale of a battle. We’re tak-
ing the Hogs to trim Rice, 20 to 13.
Skipping over the chalklines:
Boston College over Wake Forest,
Georgia over Florida, Georgia Tech
over Kentucky, Illinois over Iowa,
Army over Harvard, Ole Miss over
L. S. U., Navy and Notre Dame to
tie, Ohio State over Wisconsin,
Oklahoma over Iowa State, Penn
over Columbia, Fordham over Pitt,
Dartmouth over Princeton, St.
Mary’s over Duquesne, Alabama
over Tulane, and Texas Mines over
Tempe Teachers.
GANADO WINS IN UPSET
The Class B Ganado Indians scor-
ed twice in the fourth period to
down the Class A Edna Cowboys,
13 to 7, in a non-district tilt Friday.
Ganado made eight first downs to
Edna’s seven. The outcome was
something of an upset.
