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.

“I never dreamed that Aggies were as interested in journalism as we are!”
SWC Football Season
Shaping Up as Battle
By HAROLD V. 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. There
are 21 lettermen led by the nation’s

greatest center, E. J. Holub, and
Bake Turner, that fine back, still
is around. 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. Warren had been California
