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.

Kemember this need as another Sunday ap

THE CHURCH FOR ALL
ALL FOR THE CHURCH
The Church is ihc grealest factor on
«arlh for the building of character and
good cilizenship. 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.
