by the Cardinals, the scouts will be '
looking for the natural ability
which can be developed into the
smooth perfection which is required
in the majors.
They will watch each aspirant
go through his paces, noting parti
cularly his fielding, throwing hit
ting and base-running. Those who
are adjudged by the scouts to be
future big league material will be
signed to one of the 15 teams of
the famous Cardinal farm system,
of which Houston is an important
part.
There they will develop, through
the top-notch coaching and inval

into seasoned ball players. The best
of these will become the major
league stars off tomorrow, when
they will be more than amply re
warded for their previously expend

The tryouts will begin at 11 a.

those who plan to attend are asked
to bring their own shoes and gloves
and uniforms if possible, as the
Cardinals do not furnish this equip

attending the camp will be re
funded to all players who are
signed to contracts by the Red
Bird scouts.

Football Tickets Going Fast
By Associated Press
This is the time of the year
the postman may bring to your
house a letter from the dear old
Alma Mater.
The letter wants to know how
many tickets you want to the old
team’s football games this fall.
If your alma mater doesn’t hap
pen to be one of the big schools
here in'Texas, your chances of get
ting tickets to the annual football
classics are pretty bad.
The Texas-Oklahoma, Texas-
Southern Methodist, Texas-Texas
A&M games are going to be sell
outs and we’ll make you a bet that
most of the ducats will be gobbled
up by old Students, old fodtball
players and old athletes at these
institutions.
You might add the Rice-Texas,
Baylor-A&M and Baylor-Texas
games as ones that may draw full
houses. But you’ll probably be able
to get tickets to tljese until game
time.
Most of the early sell-outs are
based on past performances, sort

Baylor, for" the first time in
more than a decade, is going to
be on the spot, although Coach
George Sauer and Publicity man
Dub King are wailing mightily that
this shouldn’t be.
A&M has bs nest personnel since
the hey-day of Jarrin’ John Kim

a fullback that is almost a car

The Aggies have a new coach

Texas has a new mentor, too, but
Ed Price is a familiar figure to
Longhorn followers, though his

Southern Methodist doesn’t have

Benners to pass and a host of

Baylor, of course, has Larry Is
