Texas Schoolboy Football Race
Opens wi th 890 Teams Entered
By Harold V. Ratliff
Associated Press Sports Editor
The world’s greatest football
campaign—; the Texas schoolboy
marathon that covers four months
and draws more than 6,000,000
fans—is inaugurated this week.
It’s a far cry from 1920 when
the Texas Interscholastic League
started its gridiron race. Fewer
than 200 schools played football
that first year. Now there are
890.
They had no districts or classes
then—everybody got into the swim.
In December the teams with the
best records were picked and pitted
against each other. Today a team
to play for the State title must
have beaten all other teams in its
district.
Now there are six divisions—
class AAAA, AAA, AA and A,
which play through to State cham
pionships; class B and Six-Man
football, which decide regional tit-
lists only.
High School football starts the
first week in September. Some of
the teams play games before the
school term has opened. Into the
Hunter Hopes
To Bag Limit
Off Wasp Nest
You’re probably heard of going
bear-hunting with a switch—'but
have you heard of hunting wasps
With a 20-gauge shotgun ?
EJ R. Alexander, retired head
of the agricultural education de
partment at A&M, is stocking up
on shells for just that purpose.
Alexander was clearing a bridle
)>ath across a creek just northwest
vf Bryan recently when he stirred
■np a wasp-nest and the little pests
launched a mass attack.
Propping his ax, he took to the
timber. A little later the airborne
scouts sighted him creeping back
and attacked in formation. Before
he could get away they had him
surrounded.
“I started swatting at them with
pry hands and the first thing I
knew, one glove was flying across
the creek and I’d knocked off my
hat and glasses. There I was, hat-
less, gloveles sand almost blind. I
ran!
“The nest is too high to knock
down with a stick, so I’m going to
take my 20-gauge shotgun and
shoot it down,” Alexander says.
He’ll give them a sporting
chance, though—he’ll be using a
single-shot.
State playoffs in December go
eight district champions from
classes AAAA and AAA and 32
district champion^ in classes AA
and A.
This year there are 49 schools
in class AAAA, 48 in class AAA,
174 in class AA and 197 in class
A, meaning- 478 schools that play
for state titles.
Defending champions are Lub
bock, Breckenridge, Terrell and
Wink in the respective classes, each
rated a good chance of repeating.
Lubbock has the best record in the
State at this time—26 consecutive
victories and two straight cham
pionships.
If Lubbock wins it ag-ain, it will
tie the record for consecutive cham
pionships in the 34 years of Texas
schoolboy football. Waco won three
championships in a row in the
1920’s. Amarillo did the same in
the 1930’s. And Breckrindge can
also tie the record for consecutive
championships if it repeats this
year.
The all time record for state
championships is four and a tie,
held by Waco. Amarillo is second
with four.
The longest winning streak was
set by Hull-Daisetta back in the
early forties when that school took
more than 40 in a row. Hull-Dai
setta was a class B school then.
It’s now class A.
Class AAAA has probably the
toughest district in the state —
that one in which Lubbock plays.
Abilene, Amarillo, Borger, Mid
land, Odessa, Pampa and San An
gelo are in it. They call it “the
little Southwest Conference.”
Class AAAA will have these dis
tricts this year
1— Abilene, Amarillo, Borger,
Lubbock, Midland, Odessa, Pampa,
San Angelo.
2— Austin (El Paso), Bowie (El
Paso), El Paso High, Jefferson (El
Paso), Ysleta.
Laboratory Bugs
Are Hard To Raise
Growing various types of bugs
and worms in captivity proves to
be quite a problem, acocrding to
Dan Timmermann, student worker
at the entomology laboratory.
“Most of our present work is in
connection with raising cotton boll
worms, leaf worms, and cotton boll
weevils,” Timmermann said.
The insects are raised to later
be used to test new types of cotton
poison prepared by various chemi
cal companies. The insects, when
in captivity, contact various diseas
es and are extremely hard to keep
alive, Timmermann said.

Footballer
Can’t Take
‘Old Army’’
SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 2—
San Jose State lost a promis
ing football player to .... a
whistle. The whistle signalled
players to run from blocking-
bag to tackling dummy.
It blew . . . and blew . . .
and blew. . .
When it was over, end Ralph
Zachary, a Chicago junior col
lege transfer, turned in his
suit. “It’s too much like the
Army,” he told Coach Bob
Bronzan. “All those whistles
and lining up every five min
utes for some new activity.
I’m going home.”

Owl-Bear Game To Decide
Football Poll Predicts Rice
Will Take Title From Texas
FORT WORTH, Sept. 3—(Spl.)
—The Rice Owls to win their fourth
Southwest Conference champion
ship after a close and bitter battle
with the Texas Longhorns and the
Baylor Bears. The Owl-Bear game
in Houston on Nov. 28 almost cer
tain to decide.
Such were the predictions of the
sector’s sports writers and broad
casters in the 20th annual poll of
the TCU Sports News Service.
Eighty-seven ballots were cast.
Only four times in the previous
19 polls have the pickers “had” the
champion. On another occasion,
the team they selected got a tie
(SMU in 1940).
In the 1953 voting*, the predic
tions followed a pattern from the
start. With very few exceptions,
the experts placed Rice, Texas and
Baylor in the top flight—several
notches above SMU and TCU who
got most of their ballots for fourth
and fifth.
Texas A&M and the University
of Arkansas were voted into the
lower echelon with very few points
separating them.
Giving one point for a first-place
selection, two for a second and so
on down the list, Jess Neely’s Owls
were low With 138 points. They
also received 37 first-place votes
and only six selectors placed them
below third.
Texas got 173 points with 29
top-spot votes and only 7 pickers
saw them below third. Baylor had
207 points, 16 first-place ballots
and 12 votes below third. Nobody
picked any of the “big three” for
last place.
There was a definite tendency
Ag Specialist Cloud
Goes To Pakistan
Roy Roosevelt Cloud, agricul
tural extension specialist of Kerns,
has arrived in Pakistan to join the
technical cooperation mission of
the Foreign Operations Adminis
tration. He will conduct training
activities among Pakistan farmers.
Cloud has a BS degree from
A&M and has served as a voca
tional agriculture teacher on the
faculties of the Roanoke and Kerns
independent school districts.
to take a close, hard look at the
SMU Mustangs. The Ponies got
2 first place votes and many ob
servers predicted that the Dallas
outfit could be the season’s sur
prise. The Horses got only one
last-place nod.
TCU, the favorite in 1952 after
surprising everybody with a title
in 1951, were delegated to fifth
spot. The Christians got no votes
for first or second and only 4 for
third. But only 10 pickers placed
them lower than fifth and only 2
in last place.
One interesting aspect was the
fact that most Arkansas experts
placed the Razorbacks far down
the list. In the past, they have
rated their team fairly well up in
the chase.
The guessers sent along some in
teresting comments: “You don’t
comment when you guess on this
race. You hunt cover,” said Bill
Scurlock, Beaumont veteran.
“I reserve the right to change
my opinion after the annual tour
of ten camps,” Bill Rives of the
Dallas News. “Don’t know why I
should. I’ll be wrong anyway!”
“You owe me $5 for hair I lost
scratching my head over this
thing,” stated John Lovelace of the
Sherman Democrat.
“The Aggies could fool some top
bracket team on any Saturday af
ternoon,” warned Louis Hartley of
the Mart Herald.
“I picked TCU last year. I am
one who can neither forget nor
forgive,” said Harold Scherwits,
veteran of the San Antonio Light.
He placed the Frogs last.
“This could be Baylor’s season,”
said Bill Bogart of the Tyler Cour
ier. “It’s been so long!”
Reported Orville Henry of the
Arkansas Gazette, Little Rock: “I
know considerable about Arkansas
in a general way—but less specifi
cally than about any other team in
the race.”
Joe Milner of the Greenville Her
ald voiced the sentiments of many
when he said: “SMU, under a new
coach and new formation, could
finish anywhere from 1st to 7th.
With that material, I believe the
Mustangs will be in the top three.”
“It’s difficult to go against Tex
as but Jess Neely appears to have
the horses,” said Tommy Hart of
the Big Spring Herald.
“Texas lost too much but has
the material (as always). Baylor
is the perennial bridesmaid — and
they won’t let Abe Martin play-
end for TCU,” opined Ted Allen,
Kilgore News.
A half dozen obseiwers cast
doubt on Baylor’s defensive ability
but thought the Bruin’s fine back-
field and speed would offset any
thing in that direction.
In summation, Bob Rule of the
Houston Press said simply: “Will
I love ’em in December as I do to
day?”
