Whitesboro’s Bearcats ended
the 1953 football season last week
when they came up with a sur-
prising 14-0 verdict over the Van
Alstyne Panthers in a District 13-
A finale.
That victory boosted the Bear-
cats to third place in the final
league standings, a very credit-
able spot, considering the power-
laden Whitewright and Cooper
outfits that paced 13-A play.
Those teams tied for the loop
title, but Whitewright defeated
Cooper and gained the right to
represent the loop against bi-dis-
trict foe — New Boston, cham-
pions of 14-A.
The Whitewright-New Boston
tussle is slated for 2 p.m. Thurs-
day in Sulphur Springs and will
mark the first time since 1948
that the Tigers have gone into
bi-district play. They shared the
title in 1950 but did not represent
the district.
Although Whitesboro could
finish no higher than their cred-
itable third spot, they did pro-
duce the highest scorer in league
competition. Captain John Den-
nis, 147-pound halfback, proved
to be mighty prolific when it
came to crossing that double

Denison Gagers
Begin Practice
Drills Friday
With football behind them, the
Denison Yellow Jackets have
turned their thoughts to the 1953-
54 basketball season and Coach
James Magill greeted his Bug
hopefuls in a full scale workout
last Friday.
The Jackets face a schedule
that includes seven practice
games, two tournaments and the
12 District 3A-3 contests. The
opener is set for November 30
in Durant, where the Magill men
will meet the Durant high Lions,
who started their cage work last
Monday.
According to Wilburn Grisham,
Denison sports writer, the Yel-
low Jackets will be short on
height and Magill declared, “Since
we evidently won’t be on even
terms in battling for rebounds,
we’ll have to try to outrun our
opponents.”
Returning from last year’s
Jacket squad are Don Holland,
Don Lumus, Coy Davis, Lee
Brown, Billy Wayne Eldredge and
Leroy Snow. Those boys helped
compile a 16-15 season mark for
Denison last year. .
Several B-teamers of last sea-
son, including 6-2 Jim Holt and
Ed Franklin, may aid the Denison
varsity this cage campaign.
Of all the Denison players, Lu-
mus will probably be the top boy
during the rapidly approaching
roundball season. He developed
a deadly jump shot last year and
dunked 167 points through the

Leopards, after having an idle

way out of the ton 20. Their
aroused showing against the
Bugs, however, put them back
into the limelight and among
the rated teams in the state.
Texarkana’s great club still
rated the No. 1 position in the

playing Kilgore—ranked eighth
in the poll — for the District

contest will take on the repre-
sentative of District 3A-3, which
will be either Gainesville, Sher-
man or Paris, depending upon
the outcome of Thanksgiving
day contests.

Teams Tonight
Two Gainesville grid teams
close out the football season to-
night against outfits from Deni-
son.
Coach Horace McCain’s junior
high school Panthers will be
seeking the junior high confer-
ence title at Leeper stadium to-
night at 7:30 o’clock when they
host the offensively potent Deni-
son juniors in what should be a
thriller diller. ;
The Denison team has a whale
of an offense and is undefeated
in play so far this season. Some
27 points is the lowest total rack-
ed up in any one game by the
Denison visitors.
Proceeds from tonight’s Leeper
stadium conflict will be used to
purchase letter jackets for the
Gainesville junior lettermen.
Those lettermen have paced the
Panthers to one of their most
outstanding seasons, which in-
cludes only one loss. That loss
came at the hands of Denton, 14-
12, two weeks ago.
Coach Garland Collett’s Leop-
ard Cubs take the spotlight in
the other local football game.
The B teamers go to Denison for
a 7:45 p.m. contest with the Deni-
son Bees and in this tilt the
Gainesvilleites will be slightly fa-
vored.
Coach Collett’s Cubs have been
improving with every game and,
even though they hold only one
win—a 12-0 triumph over McKin-
ney—they have given almost ev-
ery opponent a run for their
money.

Yesterday the locals went
through a long practice drill, but
Coach Dusek was not high in his
praise of the youngsters as he
was prior to the Denison game
of last week.
“The workout was not too
good,” Dusek remarked, “it was
nothing like it was last week.”
The genial mentor declared that
he hoped to have a better practice
this afternoon when the last hard
workout of the year—the final
hard high school work for 17
seniors—will be held at Leeper

Sports Notes
Boy, Notre Dame is really get-
ting their verbal knocks for
their somewhat underhanded.
fake injury which, pulled on
two occasions, helped them to
a 14-14 tie with Iowa last Sat-
urday. Grantland Rice, dean of
the sports writers, was one to
lambast the Irish for such tac-
tics. If you recall, it was Notre
Dame last year that caused the
“sucker shift” to be outlawed
. . . Joey Giardello defeated
Tuzo Kid Portuguez in a brawl
last night that found every rule
in the books shattered. They
mauled and fouled for 10
rounds, according to reports,
but neither will be suspended
. . . Wonder what team the Cot-
ton Bowl will choose now, since
Georgia Tech has accepted a
Sugar Bowl offer? Texas Tech
will probably be Georgia Tech’s
opponent and West Virginia
will more than likely play in
the Cotton Bowl . . . The new
manager of the Brooklyn Dodg-
ers is slated to be named today.
It’s been a deep, dark secret,
but Walter O’Malley is due to
“unveil” him sometime today.
. . . Texas, Rice, SMU and .Ar-
kansas were named favorites
in the final SWC games of the
year. If that prediction comes
true, Texas and Rice will be
tied in a co-championship and
Rice will play in the Cotton
Bowl since they defeated the
Longhorns. Dutch Schneider
says Baylor’s going to beat
’ Rice, though, so who knows?

NEW YORK, Nov. 24 (TP) —
Maryland was undisputed mas-
ter of college football for the
first time this season today
after pushing Notre Dame off
the top rung.
The Terps, the only unde-
feated, untied major team _ in
the country, took over first
place in the weekly Associated
Press poll of sports writers and
sportscasters in emphatic fash-
ion, polling 2,347 votes to 2,009
for second-place Notre Dame..
The Irish had been No. 1 in
the AP’s pre-season poll and in
all subsequent AP polls until
they were held to a 14-14 tie by
Iowa Saturday.
Maryland, which finished its
10-game season by routing Ala-
bama 21-0, picked up 154 first-
place votes of the 254 ballots
cast. The points are awarded on
the basis of 10 for first, nine
for second, and so on.
Notre Dame, which now shows
a 7-0-1 record, gained 47 first-
place votes. The Irish still must
play Southern California and
Southern Methodist.
First Time
This is the first time in his-
tory Maryland has been able to
reach the top of the AP poll.
Coach Jim Tatum’s teams have
been in the runner - up spot
many times, but were rated
only No. 9 in the pre-season sur-
vey. .
The rest of the top five re-
mained the same as last week.
In order, they were Michigan
State, Oklahoma and UCLA. Il-
linois moved up from seventh
to sixth while Texas dropped to
seventh.
The biggest jump, as might
be expected, was made by Iowa,
which climbed from 20th to No.
9. Rice took over No. 8 and
Georgia Tech, which will play
in the Sugar Bowl, No. 10.
Wisconsin, which could do no
better than tie Minnesota 21-21,
and Southern California, de-
feated by UCLA, fell from the
top 10.

Roddy Osborne moved far in
front of his teammate competi-
tors in the race for the individual
ground gaining title, with his 80-
yard effort against the Denison
Yellow Jackets last Friday night.
That 80-yard total pushed Os-
borne to 658 yards on 122 car-
ries for the 1953 season. Scott
Clark, big Cat fullback, romped
for 61 yards against the Bugs
and retained his second place
total among Leopard ball toters.
He has a total of 568 yards on 77
trips so far this season.
Don Hocker made the largest
gain, picking up 132 yards
against Denison. He is now in
third place in the ground gain-
ing department with 358 yards on
58 tries.
Osborne has done all the pass-
ing, as well as a major portion of
the running and has racked up
an overall offensive total of 1,151
yards. The splendid Cat quarter-
back has completed 30 of 77
heaves.

Opens Cage
Year in Tioga
Valley View’s Eagles open the
basketball season tonight, going
to Tioga for a non-conference
tussle with the potent eagers
there.
The Eagles have been practic-
ing for only a week and Coach
Jack King’s cohorts will be at a
disadvantage since Tioga has al-
ready played several tussles and
will be in top shape.
Tonight’s contest will be the
first of the year for the Eagles
and Coach King will be experi-
menting with several boys in an
effort to find the best combina-
tion for play when District 33-B
competition begins.
Jimmy Dyer, Tommy Turner,

roundball aspirants.
arkana Thursday night to scout -
Texarkana and Kilgore—just in
case. Wonder if Kilgore has
enough expectations of beating
Texarkana to be sending scouts
to Gainesville and Paris?
Must Beat Denton
Before any of Gainesville’s
rosy dreams of at least a Dis-
trict 3A-3 tie come true, they
first must defeat the Denton
Brones on Thursday. That may
not be such an easy task as
most of the Sherman Bearcats
could have disclosed following
their battle of last Friday night.
If the Leopards had the spirit
and desire they displayed
against Denison last week, we’d
have no fears as to the outcome
of the Leeper stadium game
with Denton, but from the re-
port we had from Coach Dusek
this morning, the Cats don’t
have that same overpowering
desire.
Dusek announced that the
Monday workout wasn’t too
good and was nothing like it
was last Monday when the
Spotted Cats went through their
best Monday practice of the
year.
We can only hope they can
come around with a compelling
drive this afternoon, for surely
they realize Denton must be de-
feated before even a tie for dis-
trict honors can come Gaines-
ville way. It’s been a long, long
time since a Gainesville outfit
even won a loop tie, so let’s
hope the boys don’t blow their
chances now.
District 3A-4.
After the smoke of the Turkey Day after- W
noon games has cleared away, thoughts then
will turn to a Thursday night contest that will ' J
be played in Texarkana. Kilgore will be fighting .
the Texarkana eleven—ranked by most as the g
No. 1 Conference 3A team in the state—for the “
District 3A-4 title.
Yes, Thursday will be a big day for all local
football fans and the coaches of the various
contending outfits will have their minds oc- HORACE McCAIN
cupied with strategy, just in case their team happens to represent
their loop in bi-district play.
For instance, Texarkana will have scouts in Leeper stadium
