HIGH COLTS PREPARE
.12
The .junior high Colts are
working toward their next game
of the season the night of Oct.
12 with Breckenridge junior high
Colts in Mustang bowl. .
Coach A. A. Autrey's young-
sters have played only one game
this year, losing a 12-0 decision
to Brownwood juniors last
week.
Autrey was pleased this week
when Nat Penton, a promising
youngster, reported for the
squad. Penton has shown pro-
mise as a ball carrier of note
and may provide the offensive
spark thqit the Colt mentor has
been looking for.
The Colts' next game will be

Paxton Finds New
Way to Fry Fish
Each season local Isaac Wal-
tons make news; some for their
multiple catches, others make
front page, proudly displaying
prize catches snared from the
waters of the lakes cradled in
the surrounding hills.
But seldom dees a fish story
eke out concerning the manner
in which these catches are pre-
pared for a delectable meal. To
Charles Paxton, chairman of the
Buffalo Trail council of Boy
Scouts of America, goes credit
for a most unusual experience.
Assuming that lie was one of
the best cooks in the recent lake
party and taking the responsi-
bility from the shoulders of'his
host, C. E. Mays, Charlie volun-
teered to prepare the day's cat-
ch, visualizing a platter of
brown and crackling fish with
savory juices.
Plenty of meal was used, each
fish rolled in the substance and
dropped into hot fat. Trouble de-
veloped and soon the hot liquid
began bubbling and foaming
over the skillet. With reluctance
the cook summoned his host,
who, after considerable investi-
gation, found that Paxton had
mealed the fish in a quantity of
oxydol.

Team Has Read
Too Many Papers,
Mentors Believe
Players Seem to Forget
Abilene Always Tough
For Sweetwater to Handle
Coaches Laurance Priddy, Ad-
rian Clark, and Jack Roten are
extremely pessimistic over the
outlook for Friday night's game
with the Abilene Eagles.
"The boys have read too
many newspaper accounts of
themselves as favorites in dis-
trict 3-AA. They believe a lot
of the propaganda put out by
so called experts in various en-
emy camps over the district that
they will finish close to the
top this season. They can't seem
to remember they are playing
Abilene next Friday night," said
Coach Clark.
"The players," Clark contin-
ued, "can't seem to get it
through their heads that Abi-
lene will be tough. That Breck-
enridge sqore keeps creeping
into their thinking machinery
and they can't remember that
the Eagles made 17 first downs
to Bretkenridge's 21."
Clark saw the Breckenridge-
Abilene game. He is convinced
that the Buckaroos have one
of the best teams in the state
this year. Their lopsided victory
over Abilene failed to convince
him that Abilene won't be a
worthy foe for anything in dis-
trict 3-AA.
Sweetwater, the coaches re-
mind players and fans, was due
to win over Abilene last sea-
son—based on pre-game statis-
tics. But the Eagles have no
respect for figures when they
are playing conference games—
especially Sweetwater.
SECOND
GUESS
After watching the Mus-
tangs work out yesterday af-
ternoon we concluded that
the .youthful charges of C'oa-
, chc: I'rjddy, Clark, and Jto-
len are in the right frame of
mind to take a sound lick-
ing Friday night from the
Abilene Eagles.
V * *
The only impressive thing
about their workout was the
"hor.-e play," considerable cock-
iness and an. attitude that "may
l,e the Eagles would give them
about as much competition as
the Roscoe Plowboys." The Mus-
stangs apparently have the same
idea that a lot of downtown
fans have following the Eagies'
lopsided loss to Breckenridge —
they seem to think Friday
night's game is "in the bag."
* * *
\Ve sineereljy hope that
Abilene does not open up
with a passing attack where
the receiver runs into the
defensive zone in the area
covered by Eddie Freeze and
Wood row Hull ingswortb.
I'nlcss (bis pair are on their
foes more in the Abilene
game than they were against
the second stringers yester-
day, the Kagles are going to
have a lot of fun completing
passes. The second stringers
had a big afternoon throw-
ing passes and completing
t h e m — principally, we
thought, because the Sweet-
water secondary was indif-
ferent toward their defen-
sive chores.
* * *
This department will be glad
when the Abilene game is out of
the way. So eager are we to get
it off our mind that we kept
thinking yesterday was Wednes-
day—until it was too lat.e. We
had the tickets going on sale
yesterday afternoon — whereas
they went on sale this after-
noon. If fans will remember that
they go on. sale each Wednesday
afternoon before games played
here, then no one will be mis-
led by this department's over-
anxiousness.

FORT WORTH CATS BEATS VOLS, 0-0, TO WIN DIXIE SERIES
FORT WORTH — (UP) ■ —
The Fort Worth Panthers, most
erratic team in the Texas lea-
gue, presented Manager Bob
Linton with the Dixie series pen-
nant last night by swatting out
a 6 to 0 victory over Nashville
of the Southern association
Ray Starr, the most-..erratic
pitcher in the league,,furled a
two-hit game to give Fort Worth
the series after both teams had
won three games.
The Cats scored methodically,
collecting 43 hits off Adams,
Nahem and Martynik to count
once in the second, once in the
fifth, once in the sixth and cinch
the game with three runs in the
seventh. Nashville aided the me-
lee with three errors.
Linton, who is crowding 40,
was picked up as a free agent
last spring to re-organize the
Fort Worth club that finished
the 1938 season in last place.
Playing hehind the plate, he
fought hard luck, disheartened
pitchers and business office crit-
icism to squeeze the Cats into
the Texas league play-off in
fourth place, only one game
ahead of the Shreveport club
piloted by Homer Peel, the skip-
per who won Fort Worth the
Dixie flag in 1937.
Fort Worth defeated Houston
in the first round of the Texas
league play-off, then downed the
Dallas rebels to take the league
title.

Newest addition to Coach Ro-

a yousgster who built up quite
a reputaion as a Softball pitch-j
er. Pat lettered in junior high '
school but lost interest when
he reached high school. Ho has
another year of eligibility and
promises to become just a^- adept

against the Mustangs yesterday
afternoon, Pat's tosses were
about as accurate as some of

Pat's not too heavy—he weighs

is rangy and comes close to
qualifying as a "natural ath-
lete." whatever that is.

NEW YORK — (UP) — Paul

was drafted last night from the

association by the New York
Giants. It was one of the small-

minor leaguers getting the call
to the majors.
The name of Dominick DiMag-
gio of the San Francisco Seals ^
appeared on the draft list er-
roneously, but the mistake was
discovered and rectified before
any club had a chance to take
him. DiMaggio has been with
the Seals only three of the nec-

for the draft.

What chance has a wo-

is delayed and bothered
each day by the ineffi-
ciency of an old-fashioned,
worn-out water heater?
Remember how many
times hot water is needed
. . . for dish washing,
showers, bathing, shav-
ing, laundering, house-
work, emergencies and
many others. When hot
water is not instantly avail-
able for these needs there
is delay and a frantic
rushing around.
Why let this go on any
longer in your home when
a modem automatic gas
water healer is so easy to
buy? Its amazing effi-
ciency, its convenience
and its aid in speeding up
housework eliminate
enough trouble and work
to pay for its operation.
