and it is believed that Chuck

the Leo Durocher regime, may
be named the 1951 manager.

Boston’s Red Sox came up with
a ,startling announcement today.
The American league outfit
signed up Lou Boudreau, former
Cleveland Indian manager.
Boudreau had been released
from the Cleveland organization
and since that time had had many
fine offers, but evidently the Red

• MORE DEALS
It seems that there are some
other big deals coming up, one
of which may have something
to do with Ted Williams. Sev-
eral of Williams’ teammates re-
sented his late return to the
lineup last season, after he had
broken his elbow in the all star
game.
The Splinter came back to
take over his place, which was
being superbly handled by Bill
Goodman. His mates evidently
thought they could get along
very well without him, and the
Boston management may think
the same thing.
The Red Sox should be able
to get any pitcher in the league
and a lot of cash for the slug-
ging $125,000-salaried Williams.

in the country.

LOCAL BOYS MAKE GOOD IN SPORTS WORLD
Hugh Meyer, as we have mentioned from time to time, has been
doing a great job as center for the Texas Aggies. We haven’t been
the only one who thought so, either, for Jere Hayes, sports editor
of the Dallas Times Herald, placed young Hugh on the paper’s All
Conference offensive team.
Hayes though it was only fair •
to select an offensive and defen- . — U add
sive team, so two elevens were
Hayes, in his writeup of the
selected players, had this to say
about Meyer and Hightower: HUGH MEYER
. . . we consider Dick High-
tower as fine a center, offensively or defensively, as there is in
the conferenre—or the country, for that matter. But Dick is at
his best on defense and this gave Hugh Meyer, A’M’s aggressive
center, who is a bear on offense, a place in the limelight.”
Hugh played center and in the backfield for the Leopards,
but received a knee injury while
running as fullback on the 1946

Spotted Cats. That knee both-
ered the big boy during his first
two years at Aggie land, but
last summer he underwent an
operation and the limb was
completely cured.
We’ve seen Hugh play on two
occasions this season and both
times he performed with the
best of them. We were glad to
see him get the honor bestowed
upon him by Hayes.
REST OF THE TEAM
Here’s the way the rest of
Hayes’ All Conference team
looked: Offensive team — Ends,
Ben Porter of Texas and Andy
Hillhouse of A&M; tackles, Bob
Collier of SMU and Ken Jackson
of Texas; guards, Bud McFadin
of Texas and Herschel Forester
of SMU; center, Meyer of A&M;
backs, Larry Isbell of Baylor,
Kyle Rote of SMU, Bob Smith
of A&M and Byron Townsend of
Texas.
Defensive team — Ends, Paul
Williams of Texas, Pat Knight of
SMU; tackles, Alvin Langford of
A&M and Paul Giroski of Rice;
guards, Don Menasco of Texas
and June Davis of Texas; center,
Hightower of SMU; backs, Gil

Mat Match Set
Here Tonight
Johnny Balbo and Abe Stein
battle for mat supremacy on the

on the main event of the regular
Tuesday night Optimist profes-
sional wrestling card.
The preliminary, between De-
tective Bob Gourley and Art
Kapitanopolis, will begin at 8
p. m. on the Boys’ club padded
square.
Gourley and Kapitanopolis are
scientific grapplers and their
meeting is expected to be a great
show of real wrestling talent. The
two preliminary boys will also-
give an exhibition of various
wrestling holds and how they are
broken.
In a special treat for the local
grunt and groan lovers, Willie
Love and Emerson Crozier—two
Negro wrestlers—will tangle in
an added attraction. Their battle
will be for the best two out of
three falls, with a 45-minute time
limit.
Balbo and Stein will also fight
it out for the best two out of
three falls with a 60-minute time
limit.
A large crowd of fans is ex-
pected to turn out for the bouts
tonight. Tickets have been on sale
all week and many reserve seat
ducats were purchased early.

Near Completion
By FRED HAYDEN
NEW YORK, Nov. 28 (P)— The
college football bowl picture was
nearing completion today with
the big four—the Rose, Sugar,
Cotton and Orange bowl games—
among 14 already lined up.
At Pasadena, Calif., the New
Year’s dav attraction will be Cal-
ifornia vs. Michigan in the Rose
bowl; in New Orleans’ Sugar
bowl* it will be Kentucky vs. Ok-
lahoma; Dallas’ Cotton bowl will
pit Tennessee against Texas, and
in Miami’s Orange bowl the Mi-
ami Hurricanes will battle it out
with Clemson’s Tigers.
Five teams remain in the run-
ning for the Gator bowl affair at
Jacksonville, Fla.
California’s Bears, the Pacific
coast conference kings who fin-
ished this season with nine vic-
tories and one tie, will be in the
Rose bowl for a third consecutive
year. Michigan (5-3-1), the big
ten champion, appeared in the
Rose bowl in 1948.
Oklahoma (9-0-0), will be play-
ing a third straight time in the
same bowl — the Sugar. Ken-
tucky, (10-1-0) was bidding for a
perfect 1950 season before suc-
cumbing last weekend to Tennes-
see, 7-0.
Miami has won eight but was
held to a tie by Louisville Uni-
versity. The Hurricanes will wind
up their regular campaign Friday
night against Missouri. Clemson
(8-0-1) Was runnerup to Washing-
ton and Lee in the Southern con-
ference race.
The Cotton bowl foes—Tennes-
see and Texas were named last
week. Neither has completed the
regular season. Texas (7-1-0) has
two more games — with Texas
A & M on Thursday and with
Louisiana State on Dec. 9. Ten-
nessee (9-1-0) will wind up
against Vanderbilt on Dec. 2.

honored by the Big D. news,
paper.
Meyer, who played with the i I
Gainesville Leopards from 1943
until ’46, was given the center ■ ma
berth on the offensive team. Dick : ' W
Hightower of SMU was named d7
for the defensive center spot by 0
Hayes, in his all star selection, j
Hightower is a good boy, but Max
Ubank of TCU is, in our opinion,
one of the best defensive pivot -
post operators in the Southwest . I
conference. Both Hightower and ’ I
Ubank are centers that play on . ;
offense and defense and there’s ;
not too much difference between
them. Maybe Hayes flipped a
coin.
• LOCAL CAGE STAR
Yesterday’s mail yeilded an
interesting note concerning still
another local product in an-
other sport. Rapid Robert Hen-
ley, all district basketball per-
former with the 1949 Leopard
eagers, as most of you know,
is a member of the Austin col-
lege Kangaroos in Sherman. We
received a brochure from the
college and Zeke Atkins, pub-
licity man for the Hoppers,
seemed to be favorably im-
pressed by Henley’s play.
This is what he writes of the
Circus town lad: "Robert Hen-
ley—Freshman . . . center-for-
ward . . . one of the brightest
cage prospects to join the Kan-
garoo ranks in years . . . played
two years at Gainesville high
school . . . all-district two years
as a guard and forward . . .
scored 82 points last season . . .
noted for taking rebounds off
opponents’ backboard . . . very
speedy and has good eye for
basket . . . major, business ad-
ministration.”
That sounds pretty good.
Gainesville has produced a top
college grid star in Meyer now
maybe Henley will do as well
in cage circles. By the way,
Austin college plays North Tex-
as State college’s Eagles in a
practice hardboard tilt tonight.
The tussle will be played in
Sherman.
THIS AND THAT
Several boys, which the Leo-
pards should remember, made the
District 8-AA All District team.
That loop, composed of Highland
Park, Grand Prairie, McKinney
and Denton, found the Scotties
winning the title for the 10th
straight time.
Five Dallas lads were named to
the select eleven, while three Go-
phers and three Lions landed
among the all stars. Not a single
Denton player received mention,
mainly because the Bronchos
ended the season without a sin-
gle loop victory.
Guy Lancaster, tackle, Paul
Wayne Ernst, back, and End
Jimmy Smith were named from
Grand Prairie’s team. The Go-
phers defeated the Leopards 19
to 6.
Fullback Mike Murphy, Back
Bob Cogburn and Guard James
Jackson were selected from Mc-
Kinney’s aggregation. The Lions
defeated our side 26 to 6.

Muenster Exes
Rolls Over St.
Mary’s Exes 18-0
Sacred Heart Exes of Muenster
defeated a gang of St. Mary’s
of Gainesville Exes 18 to 0 in
Muenster last Sunday afternoon.
The home team put together
two long TD passes’ and recovered
a fumble for their three tallies.
Teddy Grimmenger tossed the
two touchdown haves to George
Mollencoff to spark the Muenster
attack.
The other score came when
Richard Hermes fumbled a punt
and the ball rolled over the goal
line, where, it was recovered by
Muenster for the score.
Julian Walterscheid and Mike
Luke sparked the Muenster line,
while Ronald Herr and Ernest
Sicking ate up yardage in the
home team backfield.
Jack Shumacker was the offen-
sive spark for Gainesville, while
Leonard Hermes and Ed Wolf
turned in fine games for the St. I
Mary’s line.
The tussle was a real grudge
battle and was a test of oldtime
rock and sock football.
