Coaching School Opens
In Fort Worth August 3

Just one month away is the
start of the football season. It
doesn’t seem possible but that’s
what the calendar says—the Tex
as coaching; school in Fort Worth
Aug 1 . 3. That signals the opening
of gridiron campaign for all prac
tical purposes.
It will be a month after that
before the first passes are thrown
on the field of play but there’ll
be little news outside of football
with the Texas coaching school
starting the big push.
Again the coaching school will
be a record-breaker. Last year at
Houston the all-time high in en
rollment was reached—2,820. Al
ready there are 2,979 members of
the Texas High School Coaches
Association and there will be more

IT’S A SMART GIRL who sews
her own when it comes to getting
together a vacation wardrobe.
All those gay outfits for holiday
fun often can make a wreck of the
budget.
Brightest idea of the season is
an endlessly useful short felt coat
with many bright patch pockets in
different colors, to wear over any
thing from , a bathing suit to a
dance dress.
Anyone who has worked with
felt knows that it’s the world’s
easiest fabric to sew. The seams
don’t ravel, it needs no hemming
and you can make a garment from
it in next to no time. Local sewing
centers have experimented with
making some of these new felt
coats, and report them easy enough
for the most inexperienced seam
stress. They suggest making the
topper in white felt with contrast
ing pockets of royal blue, bright
red and black.
Since felt comes in a 72-inch
width, a little yardage goes a long
way. Choose a good standard pat
tern for a straight, collarless short
coat with three-quarter-length
sleeves, and follow pattern direc
tions for cutting and sewing. Al-
created what it calls “allied mem
berships.” Any coach in the United
States and possessions can be a
non-voting member through this
new plan.
L. W. McConachie, executive
vice-president of , the association,
cautiously predicts that there will
be “close to 3,000.... at Fort Worth.
He probably thinks there will be
more than 3,000 but is being con
servative because he has had so
much trouble predicting what the
coaching school will do the past
few years..
The reason there are more
coaches is because more high
schools are being created in Tex
as. El Paso, Houston and Odessa
are among the cities adding
schools this year. Next year there
will be more at Abilene, Wichita
Falls and other places.
High school football is big bus-
though felt need not be hemmed,
you can achieve a smart finish by
hemming the jacket edges with a
contrasting color thread. In this
case royal blue was used.
Three different colors of felt
should be used for the six squai'e,
brass-buttoned pockets. To make
the pockets, cut six rectangles 4 by
15 inches—two in each color. Fold
the rectangles in half. Cut a point
ed flap at the top of the rectangle
3 inches deep. With white thread,
run a line of stitching around pock
et flap %-inch from edge. At bot
tom of flap cut through one thick
ness across the pocket to form op
ening.
On the flap mark length of cut
ting space for buttonhole plus Vs-
inch for bar tacks. If you own an
automatic sewing machine,, set the
selector for a buttonhole stitch.
Otherwise use the buttonholer at
tachment for a regular machine.
It’s a good idea to make a sample
buttonhole first on a scrap of fab
ric, to be sure you have it right.
Pin pockets in position on the
topper and stitch with white
thread %-inch from edgp. Attach
dot snappers to make a neat clos
ure for front of jacket or, if you
prefer, use more brass buttons and
buttonholes.
iness in Texas, which has more
teams than any other state in the
union.
This coaching clinic will be a
far cry from the first one held in
1933 at San Antonio. D. X. Bible
was the lone instructor and 65
coaches registered. In those days
the coaching school was held un
der the stands at the local ath
letic plant. Today it is conducted
in air conditioned hotels and audi
toriums. It has grown so large
there has been talk of dividing
it. Only the bigger cities of the
state can entertain it now.
The coaches association started
out as a football organization. But
in 1941 the “football” was remov
ed from the title and coaches of
all sports came in as members of
the association.
The school has football, basket
ball and track on its schedule. It
once carried baseball but dropped
it because of lack of interest.
This year Paul Dietzel of Louis
iana State, Abe Martin of Texas
Christian, Jim Myers of Texas
A&M and Tonto Coleman, assist
ant coach at Georgia Tech, will
talk on football.

A new construction program on
Highway 6 was announced Wed
nesday by the Texas Highway De
partment.
The program will begin at Jer
sey Street in College Station and
continue south to the Navasota
River. Construction will consist of
grading, widening structures, add
ing flexible base and resurfacing
with hot-mix asphaltic concrete
pavement. When completed the
highway will have a surface 24
feet wide, with surfaced shoulders
10 feet wide. Completion of the
pi’oject is expected early next
spring.
C. B. Thames, engineer of the
Texas Highway Department’s
Army football coach Earl Blaik
was a basketball and baseball play
er in high school at Dayton, Ohio.
He later played football at Miami,
Ohio, University and West Point.
Buster Brannon of Texas Christian
will discuss basketball and Jack
Petterson of Baylor will lecture on
track. Elmer Brown, trainer at
Texas Christian, will discuss
Ueatment and prevention of in
juries.
The school will be climaxed by
the all-star basketball and foot
ball games. The football game’-s
largest crowds was at Houston
last year when 20,408 turned out.
Basketball’s biggest throng was
at Lubbock in 1956 when 5,936
came into the Texas Tech coli
seum.
Coaching the all-star football
squads will be Darrell Tully of
Spring Branch and Elwood Turner
of Sweetwater. Tutoring the bas
ketball squads will be Amos Tur
ner of Grand Prairie and Ford
King of Big Sandy.
The South has some making up
to do in each sport. The North
has won 12 and the South 9 while
there have been 3 ties in the foot
ball all-star game. The North won
the last 3 times in a row. In bas
ketball the North has triumphed
9 times in 14 games and has taken
the last 4 contests.
District 17, said traffic will be
routed along specially constructed
surfaced detours paralleling the
old highway in areas where exist
ing grades are being lowered to
provide safe sight distance. He
pointed out that adequate barri
cades and warning signals will be
prominently displayed, but motor
ists should be extremely cautious
in passing through the area since
it will be heavily traveled by large
highway construction equipment.
The construction area will be
zoned for a maximum speed of
40 miles an hour during periods
of activity as protection of motor
ists and workmen alike.
The entire length of the pro
ject will be patroled to minimize
inconvenience to motorists.
Joseph M. McLain, senior resi
dent engineer in Bryan, will have
charge of the project and will
supervise construction.

BEST ENGINES!
One of 7 Big Bests Chevy gives
you over any car in its field
You’ve got more to go on than our say-so:
Every motor magazine has given Chevy’s
standard passenger car and Corvette V8’s
unstinted praise. SPORTS CARS ILLUS
TRATED says it this way: . . surely
the most wonderfully responsive engine
available today at any price.” And if you
want the thrift of a six, you still get the
best of it in a Chevy.
BEST ECONOMY No doubt about this:
a pair of Chevy sixes with Powerglide
came in first and second in their class in
this year’s Mobilgas Economy Run—get
ting the best mileage of any full-size car,
22.38 miles per gallon.
BEST BRAKES Not only bigger, but
built with bonded linings for up to 66%
longer life. Just to prove what’s what,
Chevy out-stopped both of the “other two”
in a NASCAR*-conducted test of repeated
stops from highway speeds.
*National Association for Stock Car Advancement and
Research
BEST RIDE A few minutes behind the
wheel will leave no doubt about this.
MOTOR TREND magazine sums it up
this way: “. . . the smoothest, most quiet,
softest riding car in its price class.”
BEST TRADE-IN Check the figures in
any N.A.D.A.* Guide Book. You’ll find that
Chevy used car prices last year averaged
up to $128 higher than comparable models
of the “other two.”
*National Automobile Dealers Association
BEST ROOM Official dimensions re
ported to the Automobile Manufacturers
Association make it clear. Chevy’s front
seat hip room, for example, is up to 5.9
inches wider than comparable cars.
BEST STYLE It’s the only car of the
leading low-priced 3 that’s unmistakably
modern in every line. “In its price class,”
says POPULAR SCIENCE magazine, “a
new high in daring styling.”
