Spring Sport Barbecue Fetes Athletes, RecognizesMostYahiable Pe rformance Early Interscholastic League Spent Time In Conferences By HAROLD V. RATLIFF Associated Press Sporter Writer Back in the early years of the Texas Interscholastic League the folks spent about as much time in the committee room as on the foot ball field. Any star football player was fair game for a protest and most of them were protested at one time or another. There were cases of being too old, of having played too long, of moving entire families in order to get one player, of giving the ath letes suits of clothes, lodging and even a little cash. Some of these violations were not violations at the time but they led to rules being passed to prevent them in the future. First Big Case In 1925 there came the first big ineligibility case. It involved a boy named Sam Ballew. He played for Beaumont and it happened that Beaumont beat Waco in the state race. Waco wasn’t losing many games in those days and the loss to Beaumont was quite unexpected. Anyway, it was found Ballew had transferred from Georgetown, where he had played three years 1921-22-23. So 1925 was called Ballew’s fifth year. Beaumont was found ineligible and Waco returned to the state face, going on to the champion ship. Another noted eligibility case of that era came at Sherman where it was charged that Elbert Cara way was over-age. The school census rolls were used to reach the finding. In 1926 Oak Cliff went to the finals and lost to Waco in the championship' game. Then it was found that Oak Cliff was ineligible. They couldn’t go back and forfeit all of Oak Cliffs games and re run the state playoffs. Besides Oak Cliff had lost in the finals anyway and Waco couldn’t be penalized since it was perfectly eligible. Oak Cliff was suspended for 1927. Old Belt In the old Belt—Cisco, Brecken- ridge, Ranger, Eastland, Abilene— there were instances of entire families being moved in. It wasn’t against the rules then—there was no 1-year transfer rule and a boy could play where his parents re sided. One of the most unusual cases was that of Lee Hammett, who was ruled out because he kicked a foot ball barefooted. Hammett had gone to Ranger in 192& from a place named Hog Town (now Desde- mona). The Hog Town weekly paper of that time canned a little item, saying Hammett had gone into a game to kick a field goal— and had done it barefooted. Had it not been for the latter it prob ably would not have been men tioned. Anyway, this showed Hammett had been in a game—for one play —five years before. So he was ruled ineligible. Cooling Off Period Things simmered down in the late thirties and ineligibility squab bles became the exception instead of the rule. Apparently those in teresting incidents of the twenties and of the old Oil Belt were in the past forever. But now comes Stamford to have its 1959 Class AA state champion ship taken away from it because it had a boy who lived in the fire station. The state executive com mittee found that the boy, Wendell Robinson, had performed no duties in return for his lodging but, on the other hand, his meals were paid for by a group of boosters not connected with the school system. It harkened those who knew the Interscholastic League in its in fancy back to the famed ineli gibility cases that made the League’s history most colorful and interesting. One town, it has been said, once had the football players on the rolls of the local volunteer fire department. There always was the fear that a fire would break out during a football game and the players would have to leave to go fight it. Suppose they had the ball on the other team’s 1-yard line with four downs to make a touchdown just when they had to leave to fight fire! Most valuable players and cap tains of six spring sports at A&M were honored along with their teammates and coaches last night at the annual spring sports barbe cue held in The Grove. The annual affair is sponsored by the Brazos County A&M Club and the A&M athletic department. Bruno Schroeder, MC After the meal Bruno Schroeder, former Aggie gridder and Aggie Club president, was introduced by Bob Boriske of the Brazos County A&M Club and presided as master of ceremonies for the night. Schroeder recognized honored guests and proceeded with intro ducing the spring sport coaches. First on the agenda was Bob Rogers, basketball coach, who pre sented Carroll Broussard with the Most Valuable Award. Broussard shattered scoring rec ords at A&M last fall and was chosen to the All-Southwest Con ference team was well as being on the honorable mention All-America team. Bonorden Takes Track Award Henry Bonorden, Port Lavaca senior, was recognized by Charles | Intramurals Two more championships were decided yesterday in intramural track, that in Class A pole vault and Class B high jump. In Class A pole vault Burckiens of Co. E-2 won the event as he vaulted 12-0 for first place. Stevens of Sq. 3 came in second with a jump of 10-10 and there was a three-way tie for third between Powell of Co. E-l, Munson of Co. F-l, and Hester of Sq. 7 for a jump of 10-4. There was a two-way tie for first place in Class B high jump as Scott of Co. F-l and Rogers of Sq. 6 both cleared the pole at 5-11. In second place was Keath of Sq. 6 with a jump of 5-10. An eight way tie developed for fourth place as Jones of Sq. 12, Rankins of Sq. 12, Mayo of Sq. 11, Blackard of Co. A-l, Mims of Sq. 7, Caste- nada of Co. A-2, Nelson of Co. B-2 and Dowling of Co. H-2 all cleared the bar at 5-9. Today’s events will wind up the track meet. The first finals event will start promptly at 5 p.m. BACK BOOKS' iS BOOK STORE North Gate Attractive MARGARET E.

Il is a storehouse of spiritual values. Without a strong Church, neither democracy nor civilization can survive. There are' four sound reasons why every person should attend services regularly and support the Church. They are: (I) For his own sake. (2) For his children's sake. (3) For the sake of his community and nation. (4) For the sake of the Church itself, which needs his moral and material support. Plan to go to church regularly and read your Bible daily.
