BATUFF r luted Pnw Sports Editor Th, e v I I ^ ol boys participate. Recently, the Interscholastic mcl Mi Interchola^tic a brick wal) in in which high ruk'H b« made that no high schools coueh can uHsiHt in putting on Much eoutuMt, the high Hchool facilities not be uned foi'vMUch purpoMCM and tlmt the eblleges doclare any boy iueligiblo for college athleticM who engugoM in unsanctioned all-star contestM. j The only (ianctloned all-star high school football ganje apparently would would be the one put on at the Texas coaching school jeach League advocated that won 40-0 by Lamar. Back herp an effort was made to get the plete lineups of the game on wire for usc ih Texas newspa J jorn- tho re. for; ' year. It is argued that this game is for demonstration purposes. - What the league is hitting at mostly ia Mose Simms’ national high school all-star game which saw its inception at Corpus Christi in August. The League objects to anything in which it pees a purpose of commercializing on a high s, school athlete’s fame.' Aill three of the league’s pro posals to curb these contests are;, faulty: In the first place, high school coaches are not used in such an all-star game as Simms is promoting. Big name college coach es ("are sought. In the isecond place high school facilities are not nec essary. College or municipal stadi ums can and probably will be used _ In order to handle the crowd. In the third ,place the colleges a^e not games for high school boys* Boys good enough to be invited to play in such games are to good for the college to turn down because they played in them. • , i J The colleges commercialize in , football, too, you know. Let us analyze the all-star foot ball game put on at the Texas cpaching school. The reason the league approves it is because the Texas High School Coaches Asso ciation says it’s to demonstrate the theories, of the big name college coaches who'lecture at the, coach ing school apd tutor the all-star squads on the side. But the Texas High Schojdl Coaches Association charge* admission for its gam® and the proceeds are used to operate the school and carry out other pro jects of tho association. The coach es a rod ft' bmtints* and they bonefijt Just like any promoter who mtghtf put oh on all-star game. Tho enacM lug school help* expand their busU 1I0HH. The Interscholastic Laaguiv can not control' the boys’ participation in an all-star game because only the boys who have finished their high school eligibility aro used. Only the colleges could stop the all-star games. . ★- Stan Lambert, coach of Lamar College, had some- funny stories to tell when he took His team to Mexico City recently to play the national University of Mexico. He was fully prepared for the altitude change. He took along awo drums of oxygen. 5 “Every time a boy ran at least 30 yards we’d bring him but and feed him oxygen," Lambert said. .Lambert also found that the third period of the game went 43 min utest and the last period 57 min utes. He said he was informed the periods were dragged out in hopes the,Mexican team could score. “If I’d known that I’d just given them the ball and got it ’over with,” Lambert mused. , There were some other unusual incidents surrounding this game, Names of all boys who played Lamar were sent on the wir Mexico City explained tha couldn’t give anything on the lean team except the starting line up. It seems Mexico City newspap ers don’t use lineups on football games, the coach of the team cjidn’b know who-all played and the {lum bers on the players’ jerseys (idn’t jibe with J the program.

Tiger* Set Pace The Tigers set the - pace penetrating Inside the Trojan 20, and each time but once the hosta turned back the threat handily. Quarterback Jake Magee pull ed an excellent passing attack out of the bag, and attack the Ti gers have used sparingly all year with the thought in mind of us ing it on the Trojans. Ends Dick Ijowcll and Billy Richards and Bocks Roland Jones and Bob by Williams were to be on the re ceiving end, and only Dowell had been catching many aerials. Even the runner-up slot should not /be considered bad for the Bengals. At the beginning of the year only five lettermen returned to the fold, and only two of these saw consistent service last year. Not; ope of the backs re turning had played on last.year’s starting eleven. Only 18 boys reported out for practice at the beginning of the year, not even enough to stage an intra-squad scrimmage. Of the 22 men on the team, eight are seniors, seven are juniors, and eight are sophomores. Of the ll starters, four are seniors, four are juniors, and three are sophomores. Last Gam® Boys who played their last game with the Tigers are Quarterback Jake Magee, Center Bill Cboner, Tackle Eddie Guthrie and End Dick Dowell.

It’s gotten so big, that the state tournament this year will be shifted from Hilisbdro. The gym in the cradle' of girls’ basketball in Texas just isn't big enough to accommodate -the; crowds. Dallas, Fort Worth or Waco stand a good chance to be the site of the) 1950 tournament. If y|ou live in a big city, chan ces are you don't have a gilds, bas ketball team in the league. But the little towns over the state take to the; sport in a big way. Texas and Iowa girls’ champions have been meeting in a series the last cOuple of years, and this year thg Iowa titlist will come to Texas to meet the Lone Star State win ner. Exciting Sport If you think girls’ basketball is a dullish sport, think again. Seagoville won the state cham pionship last year in a “suddep death” overtime period when a little substitute, Patsy ^Anderson, scored a field goal that meat East Chambers, 26-24.
