No onC will doubt, however, that
if the 170-pound Westsider ever gets
down to business, he’ll make the
grade. If he doesn't, watch him grace
the bench when the Rattlers open the

The right guard has always been
the key to Lucas' line. He uses the
Notre Dame system of line play, and 1
molds his guardsmen according to the
pattcin first popularized by the late
Knute Rockne and his wandering
tribe. Glance down the list of right
guards who have played for Navasota
undtr Lucas. It lool^s like a roll-
call of honor. “Ham" Silverstein,
Sam Gus Bournias; Nickolai, “The
Terrible" Spadachene, and William
Stone Hatchett have been successive
proponents of the flying body-block
since Lucas took over the reins. No
other team in Class B football boasts
such a list. ti-
Nick Bournias has been shifted to
the key spot from tackle, and if his
work yesterday is a criterion, I'd rise
up on my hind legs, if It weren’t for
being impudent, and tell Coach Lucas
that' he made a mistake. He should
have shifted him to the bench. I may
be wrong. Maybe I’m tori hard on

While there are no. neck-or-nothing

most match tricks with the hallowed
quartet Billy Stewart Is a 136-pound
rabbit who skeets from here to yonder
like a water-bug, and who can follow
interference in a broken field as well
as any back I ever saw. He’s a cof-
1 fin-corner kicker, and can toss a neat
arelal in a pinch. But he’s only knee-
high to a dUck’s waddle, and will be I
at a serious disadvantage In defend-
ing against pass- receivers like Cald-

will call signals and play safety. If

the early games. But they are both'

seem' to be Navasota's main hopes
for conference victories.
Above I've outlined the making of a
winnlg team. But I’m still worrying
about the center and the pass de-
fence. I don't think It possible for
the Blue to go through the season un-
scathed with the tiny defending back-
field, unlesa they develop a scorching
attack that will outscore all oppo-
nents. '
It’s a hard team to figure. It’s a
team that, if the' players click, might
easily win the championship. But if
they don’t cliok, the carnage will be
fierce.
It's a team built around the broken
field brilliance of little Billy Stewart
and the passing of Milton Downs,!
backed by a defensive bulwark head-1
ed by Nemtr and Gunn.
It’s a team flaunting the spin and
reverse wizardry of Weldon Lucas, |
who learned hie football at Paul Ty-
son’s school, and based on the sterling '
line-building abilities of Casper BUli-i
son. • I
It’s a team that will be off-tlme and 1

hardest position on the team, with th
possible expectlon of the signal-cal-
ler. Success of every play depends on
him from the outset ||
his backs flawlessly and accurately.
Now that booklets on ebrtect driving have been distributed with,
water bills and all Dailas motorists presumably, have had opportunity '
to learn how to operate a ear properly. Judge King Williamson off
the Corporation Court has suspended liis practice of testing for pay-
ment of fines in minor vases aga’inst'first offenders who seemed to
lack knowledge of traffic rules. He held correctly that society was
likely to gain more from the culprit’s study of traffic regulations
than from his jiayment of a small fine. Of twenty-seven who took
the tests, all but one passed. ~ \ ;
It may yet prove advisable, however, for Judge Williamson to
resume the giving of some kind of tests in court .to determine driv-
ing ability. The new State drivers’ license law, not yet in operation,
provides for examinations for new applicants only, of those who will
be able to1 renew old licenses without examination, doubtless there
are some who should not be allowed to sit behind a driver’s wheel.
The Corporation Court is not authorized to cancel drivers’
licenses,' removal of which is provided for in the new State statute;
hut presumably it eould bar a person’s driving within the corporate
limits of Dallas for a specific period. If some of this city’s more
reckless drivers were ke.pt away from the wheel for a month, to give
them time to stiidy traffic rules, they might drive more carefully af-
ter their study period—Dallas News.

they are hurt, I wonder what will
happen. Lucas will probably take a
try at playing himself.
