KITTS NAMED
RICE COACH
Jack Meagher Given Gate;
Hjertberg Turns In
Resignation
HOUSTON. Dec. 9.—vP/— The
summary dismissal of Jack Meagher
bead football coach and the ap-
pointment of Jimmy Skits as his
successor were among the results
today of a d uiic shakeup in Rice
Institute's athletic affairs precip-
itated by one of the most disast-
rous football seasons in the Owls'
history.
Among the other changes an-
nounced by J. . M-Cants. chair-
man of the Rice committee on
outdoor sports were the appoint-
ment of Dr. H. O- Nicholas as di-
rector of athletics and the accept-
ance of the resignation < Ernie
Hjertberg as track coach. Dr
Nicholas former Oberlin quarter-
back. Is an instructor of chemistry
at Rice and a member of the com-
mittee on outdoor sports. Coacb
HJertberg's resignation is effective
at the end of the 1934 track and
field season
Rumors that Meagher whose
grldlrcn team lest eight games ard
won but three in the season Just
ended might be ousted have beon
current for some time and more
recently there have been uncon-
firmed reports that Kitts head
basketball coach at Rice might be
offered the football coaching job
Kitts is Ouiet
Kitts was rather ncncomnutal
when advised ol lus appointment
saying “Its all news to m“." but
he Indicated he would accept. He
was graduated from Southern
Methodist University in 1922 after
playing outstanding footba.l. bas-
ketball and baseball for the mus-
tangs. He was an All-Southwest
quarterback Kitts coached at Dal-
las University from 1923 to 1927
and then went to Athens hlgn
school where his basketball teams
won two national championships
and cleaned up everything in the
mate. Kitts came to Rice in tne fa';
of 1932 as varsity basektball coach
Taking over football coaching at
Rice next year Kitts will have a
real task despite the fact that
excellent material Is in prosoect
for a winning Owl grid team Rice
has scheduled with Purdue. Santa
Clara. Louisiana State university
and Creighton as well as the usual
Southwest conference opposition
which promises to be stiff.
Coach Hjertberg said he tender-
ed his resignation because Rice
was “laying down on the track
team"

WESLACO. Dec. 9.—Playing the
fastest most determined game of
their season the powerful Weslaco
High School Panthers champions
of the Valley Class B football dis-
trict won the bi-district cham-
pionship from the almost equally
powerful Robstown Cotton Pickers
 here Friday alternoon by a score
{ of 15 to 12.
The Purple Panthers staged
great comebacks twice before they
could call the game theirs and the
Pickers lost their lead twice in the
Weslaco counter-attack. More than
3000 Robstown and Valley grid
fans got more than their money s
worth in the grid battle between
the two elevens.
It was the story of two fast
charging lines bowling each other
over and two smart shifty oack-
flelds trying to outrun and outwit
each other. Neither was able to
gain a decisive lead at any time
(during the game and Robstown
filled the air with passes in the
fourth period In a frantic effort to
turn defeat into victory with a
last-minute aerial offensive. That
offensive was stopped when the
Panthers started batting down the
Robstown aerials on the Panther
4-yar\i stripe and Nobles* educated |
toe saved the day a few seconds
before the game closed.
Wedlaco n. Flomvllle
The Panthers now will meet Fio-
resville for the championship of
Region 2. the highest football
honor to be won by a Class B high
school eleven under Interscholastic
League supervision. Arrangements
will be made as soon as possible
for the regional game according
to Coacli Harry H Johnson and
an effort will be made to stage It
in Weslaco.

es intercepted Nobles’ pass on the
Robstown 32 and raced 68 vsrds to
a touchdown. Perfect Interference
paved the way for the fleet Les-
ter. Ross’ attempted placement for
extra point was blocked by Nobles
As the first period ended. Nobles
punted out of bounds on the
Robstown 22 The pickers were
penalised 15 yards for holdlne and
Ross dropped back to punt. Buck-
ow tore through the Picker line to
block Ross’ attempted punt and
then tackled Lester 10 yards be-
hind the Picker goal to score a
safety for Weslaco. This safety
with an extra point on th«* first
panther touchdown was Weslaco’s
margin of victory. Near the end of
the first half. Nobles passed to
Griffin of Weslaco for 24 vnrds to
make first down for Weslaco or the
■ Picker 22. Nobles and Jackson
slashed at the Robstown line twice
each for the 22 yards. Nobles

from placement for the extra '
point. Score at the end of *he hall

Unable to gain on line plays in
the third quarter both teams re-
sorted to passing. Nobles snared
one or Lesters heaves on the Pick-
er 45 and raced away to a touch-
down behind excellent interference.
but his shoe raised a little cloud
of white dust as he raced down the
sideline and he was declared cut
of bounds on the Robstown 22. As
the Panthers drove hard for the 22
yards Speer of Robstown inter-
cepted Nobles’ pass rar over on the
west sidelines and on his own 10-
yard stripe. Beautiful blocking m
midfield opened his way and he
completed a 90-yard dash for a
touchdown. Weslaco again blocked
Ross' attempted placement for
extra point. As the third quarter
ended Ross missed a field goal
from the Weslaco 18 by a foot.
The Panthers were unable to
solve the Picker running combina-
tion featuring Lester. Speer Bailey
and Rysinger which opened with
the last period. Rysinger drove to
the Panther 19 but Tumbled and
Buckow recovered for Weslaco. At
this point the most beautiiul play
of the game was staged. Nobles
dropped back to punt as Morison
started from the left side of the
line around Nobles as If on an or-
dinary running play. L. Smith.

VINES SAYS
Youngsters Must Be Used
In Davis Matches
He Avers
NEW YORK. Dec. 9.—(^--Ells-
worth V '.es believes Frank Shields j
and Sidney B. Wood would make
up the best possible team the
United States could sent In quest
of th e Davis Cup in 1934.
"They couldnt win.’* he said
-but they could lose most grace-
fully.**
The tall gangling California boy
who joined Bill Tilden’s profes-
sional tennis troupe after losing his
Wimbledon and American Angles
crowns last year collapsing before
the Australian thrusts in the inter-
zone finals in Paris thinks we
should follow the rebuilding pro-
cedure of the French.
• We should send youngsters like
Gene Mako or Frankie Parker." he
said. “They’d be beaten too. The
scores probably would be larger
but if anybody is to be developed
here who can win back the Davis
Cup. he’ll come from among the
new talmt and not the players who
have been around several years”
Vines doesn’t believe the Davis
Cup team can get anywhere cither j
until something is done about its
management. Bern on S Prentice.;
chairman of the Davis Cup com- ;
mittee and captain of the team
directed the campaign last 5um-
mer.
“We need a professional at the j
helm.** Vines said "a man lit** Bill
Tilden or Vinnle Richards They
could tell you during a match
what you were doing wrong They
understand conditions Thevd do
more than Just watch umpires
and decisions and look out for
changes in the ball "
Vines starts his professional
play here against Tilden in a
singles match in Madison Square
Garden Jan. 10. His tour will take j
in 23 cities all over the United
States windine up a 38-match
schedule March 28 In Albat y. N
Y. There Is a possibility that •
squad of professionals will then go
abroad for a European tour.

Who hasn t hit a peach of »

mighty good second shot only to
find that a temporary or “win

These winter greens are used
»o * preserve the rt-gular greens
und though the former may have
very rough and uneven surface?
for you to putt over you should
bear in mind that they are only a
temporary arrangement.
Its true that putting over
rough surface# w’lll drive away
your putting touch but you
should not try to hole anything
but the shortest of putts on these
greens. If you must take them
seriously use a putting cteek or
a number two iron to roll the ball
up close to the hole

Bucs Defeat Eagles 32-6
To Enter Quarter-Finals
(Special to The Hermld)
CORPUS CHRISTI. Dec.
The Corpus Christi high school
Bucs went into the quarter-finals
ol the state class “A" race here
Friday night by defeating the
Brownsville Eagles Valley ••A”
title-holders. 32-6 in a game played
before a large crowd at Clark field.
The heavy Corpus Christi ag-
gregation had little trouble in
lumbering over the light Valley
bays—the Bucs just had too much
heft speed and class for the Val-
kyites. The Brownsville boys did
two things however. They out-
gamed the husky Bucs and they
came nearer playing at the max-
imum of their capabilities than
did the Corpus Christi eleven.
Cooper Out
The Eagles were hit a hard blow
in the opening moments of play
when John Cooper 160 pound full-
back. was injured returning a kick
and was put out for the entire
encounter. Xavier Quintero who
went in for him. played like a vet-
eran. and with Jack Ellington was
the feature of the Brownsville ot-
fcnse.
It was Quintero who tossed a 20-
yard pass to Ellington in the third
period for the only Eagle marker
of the day.
Charley Hass quarterback was
the outstanding player with the
Bucs. On the third play of the
game he broke over right tackle
and sped 82 yards to a touchdown.
The Eagles came right back and
marched 40 yards down the field
before giving up the oval. Aft.^r
two first downs with Carey and
Haas alternating at carrying tne
ball. Hass broke off tackle 50 yaras
for another marker. Ilinnant kick-
ed goal.
Eagles Score
Shortly after the second quarter
opened the Bucs rammed another
one over with Carey carrying the
ball. Hmnanl again kicked goal.
This marker came after a sustain-
ed drive down the field which was
temporarily halted by a la yard
penalty.
Brownsville scored on Quinteros
pass to Ellington early in the third
period and the Bucs came back
with a drive fron their own 28
yard line. Carey plunged over the
last two yards.
The Bucs again scored in the
l
final period on a paaa from Haas
to Lambert. Hinnant’s kick was
wide.
