It was a little late to gelt this permission, but the students 7 chartered a special and left anyway. j i l .

On Thanksgiving, he stolb a march by ’ijiarterjng a train; himself and fiked the schedule so the special would reti rn' to loollege op<? hour after the game was oser. At Christmas, there.was inorf itnhap- piness due to /trains.

Nelson served, as a sei-joeant DALLAS, Oct. 26 )—‘^Pi— The advisory council of the Texas In terscholastic League will meet next week-end to consider several changes in the football plan. The most important one is that which would allow the teams to practice football from Dec. 1 un til the championship playoffs are finished. The argument is that teams in the play-offs get more football than those that are elimi nated—in fact get a bulge of sev eral weeks. We presume this plan would ap ply to all classes—city conference, Class AA, Class A, Class B, and sig-man. If so, it would mean that some 730 schools wouldn’t have to quit fqotball Thanksgiving week while 119 other* went on into state, regional and bi-district play offs. The idea is good but We think it would defeat the very thing for which spHng training was! eliminated. ' ! !
