Dallas, Aug. 30 IM—A quar-
terback on tin* Southern Meth-
odist University football team
last year —■ Jerry Rhome. An-
nounced Wednesday night he
is quitting the university.
He told coach Hayden Fry
he didn’t plan to return to
SMU, where he would have
been a junior, because he
didn’t want to play football un-
der Fry’s type of offense.
Said Rhome: “I always have
played a certain type of of-
fense. I went to Southern Meth-
odist University because it had
the type offense I wanted. But
now the school has changed
coaches and Mr. Fry is install-
ing a ball-control type offense
under" which 1 do not want to
play.”
Rhome continued: “I
wouldn’t get to play much any-
way. I can’t expect coach Fry
to change his offense just for
one player. He has a fine of-
fense and is a fine gentlemen
whom I like very much.
“I regret very much having
to leave SMU but I can see
nothing else for me to do.”
Rhome said he would go to
some other college, although
he can’t stay in the Southwest
Conference.
Said coach Fry: “We wish
Jerry the best of luck wherever
he goes.”

Deer Hunters
Beware, Look
For Squirrels
Tyler, Aug. 30 — An error
has appeared in the August is-
sue of the Texas Game & Fish
Commission magazine that
could be causing hunters a bit
of confusion.
It concerns only the ommis-
sion of one word, but it’s an
important word. In an article
on page eight headed North-
east District, the bag and pos-
session limits on deer are list-
ed.
Immediately following this is
a sentence, “Bowie and Harri-
son Counties will have a spring
season during the full month
of May as well as the fall sea-
son of Oct. 1 through Dec. 31.”
Those two counties will have
a spring season all right—for
squirrels, not for deer.
Deer season in both counties
will be Nov. 16 through 30, ex-
cept on the Red River Arsenal
in Bowie County, where the
season will be extended until
Dec. 5.

Davenport Plans
Return to Duty
San Francisco, Aug. 30 W>
—Third-baseman Jimmy Dav-
enport is expected to return
to the starting lineup of the
San Fjrancisco Gianjts today
after missing nearly three
weeks with a broken hand.
Manager Alain Dark says he
doesn’t plan to use Davenport
against the Milwaukee Braves,
but probably will use him in
the big week-end series with
Cincinnati.

Wingback Fight
Spices Practice
LES WHEELER, THE NEW head coach at Abilene Chris-
tain College, took over the reigns of his football squad Wednes-
day with a quote somewhere along the lines of the following
memorable words: “Football should be played only for fun.
And the only way you can have fun is to win.” •
Football hasn’t been much fun at Sulphur Springs High
School the past three years. And it looks like that if the game
should begin to become fun in 1962, only a few people are go-
ing to enjoy it directly (fans excepted). Wildcat coach Johnny
Dobson and his assistants are afraid that the old vicious circle
of losing is beginning to set in again at the high school.
At Tuesday’s practice this week only 31 boys were in uni-
form for the varsity and the Blue Raiders. What’s wrong? It’s
hard to say. The coaches realize that some of the boys have
to work in the final fling before school starts. But that’s not
l^e whole story. And if. y^u want to. hear feally disheartening
VidWS, only one of the 11 missing has had the courage and man-
ners to inform the coaching staff of his intention to check in.

(Third of a Series)
Speed is the keynote at the
wingback position for the Sul-
phur Springs Wildcats this fall.
But the coaches are using any-
thing but speed in selecting the
player for the starting assign-
ment at the spot.
Fact is, that decision might
not be concrete Thanksgiving
Day when the Wildcats close
the season at Paris.
For two seniors, both two-
year lettermen and both speed-
sters, currently are waging a
furious battle for the starting
assignment. They are Bobby
Meador and Robert Cook, half-
backs in the T-alignment used
the past few years at SSHS.
Neither saw extensive ball
carrying action for the varsity
(Cook ran for 34 yards on 17
carries and Meador for 8 on
6) but both have the savvy to
become fine runners.
They will be particularly val-
uable as pass receivers in the
Wildcat’s single wing attack in
1962, In this respect they are
handicapped by lack of height,
but if they get loose, look out!
given consideration for the
position, but the experience of
Meador and Cook likely will
keep them ahead of the rest.
There’s one big name at
blocking back—David Rawson.
The position is manned solely
by sophomores, but don’t let
that fool any one.
Rawson, though inexperienc-
ed, proved his mettle under
fire last year, rushing for 263
yards on 60 carries from the
fullback position.
He won’t be a primary ball
carryer this season (although
he was used as a tailback in
drills when both Miles Branb-
lett and Que Brittain were in-
jured and fared well) but the
Wildcat offense is designed
to keep the threat there.
At 198 pounds the eager
youngster is ready to knock a
few people down on sweeps.
Two other sophomores —
Tommy Johnson and Stanley
Wright — back Rawson at the
position.
Here are the charts on the
Wildcat wingbacks and block-
THE WILDCATS HAVE BEEN asked to work hard in prac-
tice sessions this fall, but really no harder than some other high
school football squads I’ve seen. Fortunately for the team and
to the credit of the boys still out, no players being counted on
for immediate front line duty have stopped coming to work-
out sessions.
Maybe that’s the difficulty. Maybe somewhere in the past
some folks have gotten the idea that “you play in my sand box
or you don’t play at all.” Whatever happened to the idea that
good things generally come only through effort?
Were it not for the record at SSHS in the past few years
you might get the idea that a few stars have mistakenly been
given all the credit for success, thereby discouraging the non-
stars from even participating. For if you had to establish a set
of “laws” for football, the first would be that what ever the
success, it’s a team effort—from the starters, to the substitutes,
to the fellows who never get into the game but provide the
pressure from below for others to make good. You don’t find
many good fotball teams in situations where there is no one to
scrimmage against during the week.
* * * *
LET’S GET ONE THING straight. Every boy in high school
shouldn’t be out for football. Many are interested in music, in
mechanics, in more studies—and many must work. But surely
there should be more than 31 boys out for football at a schooi
the size of Sulphur Springs.
There’s another element that hasn’t been mentioned here
—the ill-fated grade school program, non abandoned. The
school is still suffering from this program even though it was
probably designed to help. One player told coaches recently that
he wasn’t going out because he had had six years of football,
and that was enough. He’s just now reaching the age and physi-
cal ability where he is capable of handling a rugged, contact
sport like football and he’s tired of it.
With all the enthusiasm being shown by local fans, the
band, pep squad, cheerleaders, drill team and twirlers—to say
nothing of those still on the team and the general high school
spirit—it’s a shame that the one group responsible for this env
thusiasm, while the strongest, is about the smallest.
If all the folks who are so eager to see Sulphur springs
return to the winning trail, would make a bit of an effort to
indicate the value of and the respect they bold for the entire
program, that winning trail might be reached a bit sooner.

The American League pen-
nant race is tighter than ever
as a result of Wednesday’s ac-
tion. The New York Yankees
dropped a doubleheader to the
Cleveland Indians; the Minne-
sota Twins topped the Chi-
cago White Sox while the Los
Angeles Angels iost a decision
to the Kansas City Athletics.
As a result, the Yankees
are now down to a two-game
lead over the Twins while the
Angels are in third-place,
three games behind the Yan-
kees.
The Indians posted 3-2 and
9-5 decisions over the Yankees
with Pedro Ramos and Barry
Latman getting the triumphs
on the hill. Roger Maris hit
two homers for the Yankees
while Willie Kirkland had one
for the Indians.

in the first inning with Bob
Allison accounting for three

of basketball scandals in the
past dozen years but none of

Betting Continue*
Even the college authorities
realize that point shaving and
fixing are likely to go on in
basketball because betting caq’t
be stopped. They do know,
however, that vigilance can cut
the danger to a minimum.
The gamblers them selves
could be the stop-gap. It was
the gambling element that blew
the whistle on the alleged fix-
ing in Southwest Conference
basketball. Gamblers told about
it because they had taken a fi-
nancial licking through the ma-
nipulations of some of their
own people.
The Southwest Conference

nary next season because it al-

Scant Evidence
The investigator has to know
that an official is supposed to
be fixing a game before he can
detect anything that may not
be according to Hoyle.. Even
then it has to be done by study-
ing a series of games to de-
termine if a pattern is being
established. Yet that evidence
wouldn’t be strong enough to
subtain legal action alone.
If the law enforcement agen-
cies were permitted to tap tele-
phones there might be evidence
uncovered beyond the realm of
the circumstantial. Where judg-
ment plays are involved, it, is
difficult to obtain cirrumstan-
ioles to beat Washington, 9-3.
A twin bill in Boston be-
tween the Red Sox and Detroit
Tigers was washed out by

In the National League
the conference must have sohie

the temptation to go wrong is
lessened from the beginning. A
man’s employment also has a
bearing on his selection. If a
