BUI mi, Roth arc sophomore DALLAM. May 10 (A*i -Muring football will return to most Texas high schools next year. Coaches, who have heety clamoring for re* sumption, of the month-long prne- ticy which com os shortly after the close of tj)e grid season, have been sUccessf The Surprising thing about the referendum conducted by the in- terwdiolastic league on the question was that class B schools voted tp resume spring practice but class A schools did not. This explodes all opinions. It was believed that the smaller schools didn’t want spring train ing because of the manpower sit uation—l they didn’t have enough athletes to carry on the regular spring sports with most tied up for 30 days when baseball, track and other activities are, in full bloom. The class; A schools probably will seek' another referendum as soon i possiblel Track and, field and baseball have done much better since spring football was cut out last year— by a referendum vo,te of the league membership. Take a look at White Oak*, which last Saturday won the state class B track title. It was the first state championship this school ever knew. White Oak had been predominantly football since its in ception. But spring football was eliminated and now the-school has won a track title with a brilliant record. But the class B schools will return to spring training pext year.. What are, White Oak’s chances in track next season? Baseball has flowered in the past, two years. The state tournament scheduled in Austin in June may nhow the fpotball coaches sopio- thing. It nifty illustrate to them Just wha( cnii be rfune whim oiii’h syiiirl Is given tys prep^r chHiim*. They wnti’l admit It, hnwovler, and won't do anything about II. They, want to go on playing "ptT*- sjure" football —emphasising the game so much it makes their Job Harder. ★ . Stan Lambert, coach at Lamar Junior College pud publicity mjuii rtf the Texas High School Coachcii Association,' recently became a member of the Texas Sports Writ ers Association. As secretary of the association I mailed Stan his card and wrojtei "You’ve always wanted to be a sports writer? now write a good story.” Stan’s rejoinder was: "I didn’t know writing a good Story was a requirement for being a sports writer.” 1 : ./ Anyway, Lambert wants all sports writers who plan to attend the Texas coaching school at Beau mont in August to get their ervations m pronto. Write ard Hicks of the Beaumont C of C. ★ High school athletes who run afoul of the amateur rule in jthe interscholastic league won’t be in eligible more than one year under a rule voted by the league mem bership. Heretofore they have declared professionals and ineligible forever. Another .thing: A boy who viaits a college campus and looks oyor the plant with the idea of going there, meanwhile accepting and lodging, can prevent bosng found in violation of the amatjeur rule by . paying for the hoard and lodging.
