THE BATTALION
Migh School Hull Of Fume
Plumned For Breckenruige
By HAROLD V. RATLIFF
Associated Press Sports Writer
A High School Hall of Fame in
which football heroes of a half
century will get honors they would
receive no other way is in the
offing.
Efforts have been made for some
time to obtain recognition for the
boys who built the Texas Inter-
scholastic League into a nationally
famous organization. The Texas
Sports Writers Association would
not sponsor a high school hall of
fame on grounds it would detract
from the already established Texas
Sports Hall of Fame.
The Texas High School Coaches
Association talked about a high
school hall of fame but finally
eliminated the players from it and
went only with the coaches under
the title Hall of Honor.
THE GREATS of schoolboy foot
ball had to get their honors by
what they did in college and there
were many boys who starred in
high school who failed to make it
in college for one reason or an
other. In the case of Boody John
son, who always will be considered
the finest player in Texas school
boy history, an injury prevented
a continuance of his stardom in
college.
Putt Powell, sports editor of the
Amarillo News Globe who has been
associated with high school foot
ball for more than 30 years, ad
vanced an idea that could bloom
into a Texas High School Hall of
Fame that would take in fellows
who were great enough as school
boys to gain the honors a hall of
fame implies.
The Breckenridge Chamber of
Commerce responded in a hurry.
It wants to back a High School
Hall of Fame in the West Texas
city that long has been associated
with winning football. Brecken
ridge is a corner stone of school-

boy football. It has produced four
state champions and two ties for
championships over the years. As
far back as 1929, Breckenridge had
a state champion.
THE IDEA is to establish a hall
of fame in Breckenridge, with a
building suitable for storage of
trophies and mementoes of the
greats of Texas schoolboy football,
and with a big annual banquet at
which there would be several
honorees installed. Deceased as
•well as' live athletes would be
taken in.
There have been some 250,000
boys play football in Texas in the
42 years of the Interscholastic
League. But before 1920—the
year the league started—were
many who should be honored, too.
Bo McMillin, Rip Collins, Ben Lee
Boynton, Matty Bell—those are
only a few. But this gives an idea
of what the Texas High School
Hall of Fame might do.
should be
Johnson, of course,
the first man honored.
Leo Balwin, the four-sport star
of Wichita Falls; Jack Sisco, the
finest center Texas schoolboy foot
ball ever had; Blue Smith, Cle
burne’s mighty runner of the first
state championship game; Chris
Cortemeglia, star of Bryan’s 1921
championship team, and Buster
Mills, Ranger’s fabulous kicker,
would make a fine opening of the
Hall of Fame.

the names of Roy (Father) Lump

Raleigh Dangeleisen, Boone Mag-
ness, W. C. L 'nch, Doak Walker,

Many of those fellows did not
star in college. Some didn’t even
go. But they should be rewarded
for what they did on the schoolboy
gridirons of Texas.
More than academic interest for the well-rounded

fortable medium-point, button-down collar is softly-
rolled for a new but natural look. Trim placket front

As It Nearly Produces Upset
Jerry Hopkins On First Unit Bench
Coach Hank Foldberg’s new
three-unit system, which had for
four games looked like it might
never live up to the aspirations of
the coaching staff, finally started
clicking Saturday and neax-ly gave
the Ags an upset win over- TCU.
Foldberg alternated his first, or
Old Sarge team, with the Gig ’em
unit at appropriate times, pitting
fresh gridders against tired Frogs
to wear them down. His strategy
produced four drives that pene
trated TCU’s 20-yard line, al
though only one of them produced
a score.
With the Frogs leading 20-14
late in the fourth period, Foldberg
sent in his Lightning unit, which
had been saved the entire game
just to face wornout TCU. It took
a great defensive save on an!
pass thy to stop the last-4
drive by the fresh unit.
After the game, Foldberj
he thought his squad “has lit
stride.”
