Once a justice has been assigned the writing of a majority opinion, his work really begins. He is aware that he is interpreting the law of the land and his decision may in fluence the outcome of other cases for generations to come. He has clerks on his staff, them selves lawyers, who can help him dig up statutes to cite, but the real work and responsibility in putting the decision into words is his.

RATLIFF Associated Press Sports Writer Professional football is getting most of the headlines these days as the new American Football League and the staid old National Football League argue about which is violating the fewest rules. But there’s quite a race shaping up in the Southwest Conference. So close does the 1950 campaign look that there’ll be no stand-out favorite for a change. Four teams, Texas Christian, Texas, Baylor and Arkansas—are supposed to fight it out for the championship. But A&M and Rice will be improved, Texas Tech will be making its championship start with a good looking outfit and Southern Meth odist might be better than last sea son despite the departure of Don Meredith. TCU Favored It is said that Texas Christian thinks it could be national cham pion if quarterback Sonny Gibbs lives up to expectations. Gibbs is the 6-7, 225 pounder who was in eligible last season. There will be 19 lettermen, including one from 1958, and the Frogs expect to have the nation’s top tackle in 250- pound Bob Lilly. Texas, Texas Christian and Arkansas tied for the title last year. Texas is trying to make the folks believe it won’t be as strong and Arkansas is doing the same. But Texas will be quite potent, probably capable of beating Okla homa again, with 20 lettermen, in cluding three from other seasons. It again will have the versatile Jack Collins to lead it. Arkansas Lacks Arkansas has only 16 lettermen but that’s as many as it boasted last season when it not only tied for the title but won the league’s only bowl victory—the Gator. Arkansas’ Lance Alworth should be the finest running back in the con ference and the Razorback center, Wayne Harris, should bid for All- America. Baylor will throw a string of Ronnies at the opposition as the Golden Bears hold their highest hopes in years of winning another conference title. It has been 36 years. These Ronnies are Bull, Stanley and Goodwin and they represent running and passing de luxe. Baylor has'18 lettermen and looks good enough to fight ’em down to the wire. Rice Experienced Rice will have 20 lettermen and will be well-stocked with seniors and juniors. Everybody knows what Jess Neely can do when he has the experienced men. A&M conies up with 17 letter- men, two from other years. It definitely will be better but doubts that it can replace its great quar terback of last fall, Charley Mil- stead. Southern Methodist has 20 letter- men but no experienced quarter back and isn’t saying much. It will be a running team for a change. There was little except passing in Mustangville so long as Meredith was there. Tech in Race Texas Tech isn’t making any championship claims and probably would be satisfied with an even break in conference warfare. The Red Raiders could be tough.

Also Tech has a great prospect up from the freshmen in Coolidge Hunt. With Tech on everybody’s sched ule, the league will cut down on its season. But there’s quality, Missis sippi, Oklahoma, Georgia Tech, Louisiana State, Ohio State, Navy and some other very difficult teams to beat are on the intersectional card. If the league could lick a majority of those worthies it would rank right up there at the top nationally. The former Dallas attorney, who still gets around among Texans in Washington despite his exalted status, wrote 16 majority opinions in the past year and seven minori ty opinions. Nearest to Clark in writing ma jority opinions was Associate Jus tice William J. Brennan Jr. with 12. Associate Justice William O. Douglas led in dissenting opinions with 16, and he wrote 11 majority opinions. While his total number exceeds those of Clark, many of the dissenting opinions by Douglas are brief comments. In the privacy of their chambers the jurist first discuss a case among themselves and then vote. The Chief Justice requests one who has been with the majority to write the decision. It is printed under highly confidential procedure and then released to reporters as the court convenes each Monday at noon. If there is a split, the minor ity has the privilege of writing a separate opinion or simply letting the record show their vote in ob jection. Sometimes a justice will with draw from a case because of a per sonal relationship. For instance, when the Tidelands suit came up before the court shortly after Clark took his seat on the bench he abstained from participating because he had been U.S. Attorney General when the suit was filed. And he and Chief Justice Earl Warren abstained when the decision was handed down a few weeks ago holding that Texas has ownership in the Gulf of Mexico out to three leagues or 10% miles.
