| SHARKS WIN
! OVER GOLIAD
! iFRIDAY NIGHT
With football rolling into high
gear, the national mythical cham-
pionship buttle is on. A number of
teams stand out but it’s still too
early to put the finger on any one
team and say they're the tops.
However, coining up this Saturday
nrc several important battles that
will bear watching. Penn and
Columbia lock horns in one of the
big games of the day. The Lions
showed power against Navy but
Penn is far too strong for the New
Yorkers. Georgia should have no
trohble with Oklahoma A. & M.
and the same goes for Georgia
Tech against Auburn.
Michigan tangles with North-
western in another great game.
The Wolverines are highly favored
but you never cun toll about the
Wildcats. Last year Michigan was
favored, too, but the best they
could do was a 14-14 tie. How-
ever, Michigan has plenty of pow-
er this yeur and they'll probably
be gunning for those Cats.
Notre Dame, another strong
mythical championship contender,
meets Nebraska. With Lujack,
Brennan, Sitko and Panelli in there
pitching, the Irish may have diffi-
culty keeping the score respectable.
Illinois should continue over Minne-
sota and there’s no reason to ex-
pect Arkansas to upset Texas. The
Longhorns have Bobby Layne,
By GUY STEVENS
Southern California should do the
same to Oregon State.

The World Series is baseball his-
tory now but fans will talk about
that fourth game for years to
come. There will never lie another
game to equal it. Cookie Lavaget-
to, Dodger third baseman, got only
one hit in the Series—and he got
it in the fourth game. Never be-
fore had one hit meant so much. It
robbed Bill Bevens of a no-hitter.
And it gave old Hugh Casey, who
had gone in to pitch only one bull,
credit for the win.

Bill Pox, the sensational kayo
artist, is scheduled to meet Joe
Maxim in Philadelphia Monday
night. This is Fox's most import-
ant fight since-losing to Gus Lesne-
vich, light-weight champ, last Feb-
ruary. If Billy still packs a punch,
and it seems that he does, he
shouldn't have too much trouble
with Joe. Against Walcott, Maxim
looked very bad. In fact, his show-
ing was pitiful. Whether he has im-
proved or not remains to be seen.
A win over Maxim wouldn’t mean
much. Fox will have to score a
clean-cut knockout if he wishes to
climb up the heavyweight ladder.

us head man of the Rockets in
hopes of gaining fan support. Both
the Cardinals and the Bears of the
National League have a tremen-

have pro interest pretty well tied
up in Chicago.
The Brooklyn Dodgers also are
having difficulty luring cash cus-

transferred to St. Louis or Detroit.
Perhaps a winning team would
help.
The All - American Conference,
however, is enjoying a very good
year. Cleveland, Baltimore, New

Boxing is headed for a big
slump. But one way to help the
fight game is to do away with the
various state commissions and set
up a national body with power to
supervise fights and fighters
throughout the country. A “Chand-
ler” in boxing is very much needed.
The situation now is more or less

7 To 0 Victory
Wheel But those last few minutes
of the hull game Friday night, when
the Palacios Sharks led the Goliad
Tigers 7 to 0, and with Goliad
threatening to score, seemed like
ages.
Goliad placed a strong team on
the field—one the Sharks were not
anticipating, and believe you me,
one which almost upset the apple
cart.
Bobby Lovett, a former Palacios
hoy and Simmons were co-captains
of the Goliad team.
Jack Halliday and Gerard Viets
were co-captains of the Palacios
Sharks, in the second conference
game of the season. The local
high school team, having defeated
Bloomington 31-12 in Bloomington
a week ago,
Palacios chalked up five first
downs to Goliad's one in the first
half only to he held scoreless. In
the final half the first downs were
six for either team, with Palacios
scoring in the third period, also
making their extra point.
Vandiver of Goliad kicked off to
to Milam Simon on the 10 yard line
who returned it to the 44 yard line
to open the game. Palacios failed
to make first down in four plays
and Goliad took over only to fumble
and Palacios recovered on the 40
yurd line. On fourth down Palacios
kicked, hut again Goliad fumbled
and recovered on the 49 yard line.
Pat Richmi'.n made first down;
Taylor, after two downs made first
down, and three plays later Jimmie
Claybourn over center chalked up
another. On a fumble Palncio3
lost 10 yards. The Sharks complet-
ed a forward pass but on a rule
infraction were penalized 15 yards
for holding to the 38 yard line.
Edwin Simons kicked to the 10 yard
line and the ball was returned to
the 18. Gayle, Simons, Claybourn
were in on a hard tackle after a
four yard gain by Goliad. The
quarter ended with the ball on the
23 yard line.
To start the second quarter Go-
liad kicked on fourth down out
of bounds on Palacios 41; Simons
over left tackle for first down on
Goliad 46; Milam Simons on first
play made first down on Goliad 32;
Riehman made four through center;
Simons for 2 yards; Milam Simons
for no gain; Pass incomplete and
ball went over.
Goliad made 5 to the 32; Bobby
Lovett over left tackle but Palacios
penalized 10 yards for 1st down on
42 yd line. Goliad penalized 5 for
backficld in motion; Gayle and
Simon made a tremendous tackle
on the Goliad man after a 6 yard
gain; Lovett on a left end run
made first down by inches. Viets
and McClary broke through for a
4-yard set back. A Goliad fumble
was recovered by Palacios. Clay-
bourn made 6 yards; Taylor, 3;
Claybourn a first on the 15; Edwin
Simons, no gain; Milam Simons,
made 2; Claybourn for 7 yards for
fourth down with 2 to go. Simons
on right end run stumbles and ball
goes over on 6 yard line. Goliad
kicked to Simons on 20 who return-
ed the ball to the 16 yard line.
Simons on a right end run stumbled
and fell again as the half ended.
Gerard Viets kicked for Palacios
to open the second half and Goliad
received the ball on their own 10
yard line and returned to the 25
where he was hit hard by Gayle
and Halliday. Goliad made 2, Lovett
to Palacios 48 with Viets making
the tackle; Goliad on fourth down
kicked to within the 10 yard line
where the ball was killed by a Go-
liad player and the ball returned to
the 20 yard line. After three plays
Palacios kicked to Goliad 38; Goliad
made first down; Vandiver picked
2; Lovett loses yard on end
run; Pass incomplete; Goliad kick-
ed to Riehman on 20 who returned
the ball to the 33. Claybourn made

Field “Speedy And Spirited” Eleven
The Palacios Sharks with throe wins to their credit
and no defeats, journey to Sweeny Friday night for a
non-district game. And with this record behind them some
sportscasters, or prognosticators of future happenings, place
the Sharks as the under-dogs. In the event these seers are
correct, and the pleasure, and glory of winning is enjoyed
by the opposition—Palacios fans will still say that Coach
Holst placed a “Speedy and Spirited” team on the field. May
you be as good a loser as you have been a winner—wait just
a minute—who said they were going to lose—LET’S GO!

Mentioned In Notes On Palacios Sports
Not being able to detain “Old
Man Mono” Moseley long enough to
borrow his "crooked” cubes to see
who would win the games this
week, and since I lost one predic-
tion last week, there'll lie no
guesses this week. The Mayor of
Wallstroet and Warren F. not even
lending moral support Is another
reason for not making a stall at
the art of guess work.
Coach George Holst has started
football practice in the Junior High
School and a tentative game is
touchdown. Edwin Simons on an
end run made the extra point and
the score was 7 to 0.
Viets kicked off for Palacios to
Goliad on the 12 and the hall was
returned to the 31 yard line as the

ing to 36 yard line; pass from Ed-

MICHIGAN MAY BE IN BOW'
With surprising upsets coming
up each week, it would be folly to
make any Bowl selections at this
time. But Michigan very definitely
seems a surc-thing to play in the
Rose Bowl on New Years Day.
Backed by Bob Chappius, triple
threater, the Wolverines have
shown so much power that it hard-
ly seems possible any team could
stop them. Their biggest test will
come Nov. 1 when they meet Illi-
nois. Michigan has appeared in
the Rose Bowl only once. And that
was in the very first game back in
1902 when they defeated Stanford
49 to 0.
