Mustangs Leave Friday
For Game; Lineup Changed
By AL ECHOLS
Once again we had a good weekend predicting football games
although we will have to admit that we were off base in so far as
the Sweetwater-Vernon game was concerned. Overall we were right
on 20 of the games, wrong in six instances and had three tied.
In the High school ranks were misses six of 25 and had one
tie. In college we did not miss a single game although two of them
in ties.
This week the headline games are scattered with many ot the
clubs resting for the final drive—but there is still lots of action on
the high school front and in college ranks most of the leading clubs
are matched. .
In District 1-AAA Sweetwater, Lamesa and Plainview ate
playing—all in non-conference games—while Vernon, Big Spring and
Snyder are idle. Not a single club in District 1-AAAA. is scheduled.
Sweetwater Due Drubbing
Sweetwater moved to Corpus
Christi for a game with the mighty
Hay Texans; Plainview remains at
home lo play host to Hobbs, New
Mexico, and Lamesa entertains El
I'aso high.
Plainview is slill looking for its
first game and this is not the time
for it—the way we see it. In fact
we have decided that there will be
110 wins for the Bulldogs this year.
Against llobbs we predict a 20-G de-
feat and it could be more one-sided.
The Mustangs will get nothing
from their trip to Corpus Christi
but the trip and a good lesson in
the way the game should be play-
ed. The Texans are fully qualified
to teach them a lesson and will do
it to the tune of a 35-13 victory.
Lamesa, currently the top team
111 the district on the basis of full
season records, will again provide
the district with its only win. The
Tornadoes will be going up against
one of the best teams they have
met thus far but should win this
one 25-7.
Sweetwater's Mustangs have
completed their heavy work for the
big game Saturday when they
meet one of the top teams in Class
-AAA—the Kay Texans of Cor-
pus Christi. A light workout will be
held today then it will be "All
Aboard" Friday morning.
The Mustangs will travel by bus
to the coast city, leaving here Fri-
day morning at 8:00 o'clock. They
plan to have lunch in San Antonio
then move into Corpus Christi
about mid-afternoon.
There will be no Friday after-
noon workout for the Mustangs.
They will get the kinks out of their
legs with a walk around town but
will save their fire and energy for
the big game Saturday night. The
game will begin al 8 o'clock.
Several changes are being plan-
ned for the contest, some to offset
injuries and others to get weight
and speed into the defensive line-
up.
Hermleigh Favored Again
Although Ihe Mustangs will he
playing far from home, football
fans who do not make the long
trip, can see their favorite sport
by traveling to Roscoe where the
Plowboys play host to Munday in
an 8-A district game. The Plow-
boys, still looking for their first
district win, will be underdogs. We
lick the score at Munday 21, Ros-
coe 7.
The Hermleigh Candinals are the
lone undefeated team in this sec-
tion and are likely to finish the
regular season without a blemish
on their record. They have two
more games, one Friday night in
Hermleigh and one next week in
Trent. Our guess this week is
Hermleigh 28, Bronte 6.
Hamlin' . . . And now—just pick-
ing the winner—Breckenridge over
Cleburne easily . . . Brownwood
over Grand Prairie, not so easy. . .
Weatherford over Irving . . . Par-
is over Greenville . . . Denlson ov-
er Sherman . . . Denton over Mc-
Kinney in a cellar club battle . . .
Wichita Falls over Gainesville . . .
Palestine over Bryan . . . Lufkin
over Corsicana . . . Texas City
over Conroe . . . and Edison, San
Antonio, over llarlandale.
Waco over Wilson of Dallas . . .
Austin over Thomas Jefferson of
San Antonio in one of the closest
games of the week . . . Bay town
over Galveston . . . Port Arthur
over Beaumont . . . Orange over
Pasadena . . . Adamson of Dallas
over Sunset, also of Dallas . . . .
Brownsville over Edinburg . . . .
Harlingen over Pharr-San Juan-
Ala mo . •. . and Port Neches over
South Park, Beaumont to round up
the high school picture.
In the college ranks its Texas
over Baylor . . . Arkansas over
Rice, this one could be close . . . .
SMU over A&M—could go either
way . . . TCU over Wake Forest. . .
Hardin-Simmons over Texas West-
ern . . . McMurry over New Mex-
ico A&M . . . East Texas, still un-
defeated and untried, over Stephen
F. Austin . . . Abilene Christian
College over Austin College of
Sherman . . . West Texas over
Midwestern . . . "and Texas Tech
over North Texas.

Byrd To Backfield
Fox Byrd, an end thus far during
the season, is expected to start at
left halfback spot in place of the
injured James Butler. Dell Greer
will take over the left end spot
thus left open.
On the offense the lineup will
find Mark Bishop and Frank Glass
at ends; J. B. Moss and John C.
Morse tackles; Billy Stone and
Jack Leonard guards; Alan Thomp-
son and Byrd, linebackers; Greer,
Harold Green and Angel Olvera
in the secondary.
Hounding out the offensive back-
field with Byrd will be Joe Fea-
gan at quarterback, Eugene Kouri
at right half and Olvera at full-
back.
Jack Somnierville will probably
start at center with Charlie Cupp,
now recovered from an early sea-
son injury, ready to take over at
any time. The rest of the offensive
line will be unchanged.
Reports from Corpus Christi in-
dicate that the Texans will be at
lull strength for the Mustangs.
They boost of a heavy but fast
team that runs from a variety of
formations equally well and are
deserving of their high rating in
the state, according to scout re-
ports.
A number of local fans are plan-
ning lo make the long trip to back
the Mustangs.
Lamesa Is Sixth
In Football Poll
DALLAS, Nov. 6—UP—Lamesa
and Kingsville were newcomers in
the top 10 highschool Class AAA
football teams, according lo the
weekly Dallas Morning News poll
of sports writers Thursday, but
Temple kept its longtime hold 011
first place.
Lamesa moved into sixth place
and Kingsville into ninth. Grand
Prairie and Corsicana dropped out
of the top 10, Grand Prairie for
the first time in two years and
Corsicana Tor the first time this
year.
The top 10 were:
Temple; Breckenrdige, Brown-
wood, Sail Antonio Edison, McAl-
len, Lamesa, Palestine, Lufkin,
Kingsville and Texarkana.
SPr'
Georgia Tech
Accepts For
Sugar Bowl
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 6—UP—
Georgia Tech, offered a $150,000
booty and plenty of tickets to take
care of its supporters, grabbed off
the most lucrative of the bowl bids
Thursday by accepting an invita-
tion to play in the Sugar Bowl, New
Year's Day.
The Mid-Winter Sports associa-
tion, which sponsors the Sugar
Bowl, got the jump on its rival
bowl promoters by corraling the
Engineers as the host team nearly
two months before the date lor the
classic. Georgia Tech, unbeaten
and untied this season in six games,
is ranked fourth nationally.
Irwin Poche, president of the as-
sociation, reached an agreement
with Coach Bobby Dodd of Georgia
Tech Wednesday night after three
days of negotiation. Actually, Tech
still must obtain permission to play
from the Southeastern Conference
at its December 10 meeting in At-
lanta, but that approval is regard-
ed simply a formality.
Oklahoma Considred
A "suitable" opponent for the
"Yellowjackets" will be chosen as
soon as possible, Poche said. Ok-
lahoma is regarded a leading pros-
pect, if the Big Seven Conference
will rescind its ban 011 bowl games.
Other leading prospects are Ten-
nessee, Penn Stale, or the runner-
up team in the Southwest Confer-
ence.
Dodd agreed lo send his team to
the Sugar Bowl in preference to
the Orange Bowl when the Mid-Win-
ter Sports association offered to
set aside about 14,000 tickets for
Georgia Tech rooters. A Southeast-
ern Conference ruling says mem-
ber teams must receive at least
12,500 tickets from a bowl sponsor.

Ticket Sales to
Texan-Ram Game
Pushed by Group
DALLAS, Nov. 6—UP—Directors
of the financially stricken Dallas
Texans were forgetting their trou-
bles temporarily Thursday to con-
centrate on a ticket-selling cam-
paign for Sunday's game here with
the 'Los Angeles Rams.
A director, who preferred to re-
main unidentified, however, said
Wednesday night that the financial
situation of the team looked better
than at any time during the past
two weeks. He indicated that the
fate of the junior member of the
National Football League might be
decided Nov. 14, but refused to di-
vulge any further information.
The Ram game has been describ-
ed as a "make-or-break" game for
the winless Dallas team and sup-
porters were conducting a street
campaign to try and boost attend-
ance, which has averaged some 12,-
000 fans for each of the Texans'
three home games. Officials said
before the season started that an
average attendance of 25,000 was
needed to break even.
The big blow to the Dallas team's
hopes of staying alive came last
Monday when the powerful Dallas
Citizen's Council refused to give
the team a $125,000 loan, payable
011 short term notes, because it
was outside their field of activities.
Since the refusal, the Texans pos-
ition has been precarious and more
than one director said they were
about ready lo give up.
BOSTON, Nov. G—UP—The Mas-
sachusetts Alociiolic Beverages
Control Commission lias warned
the liquor industry to slop using
Santa Claus as a whisky salesman.
The commission made public a
letter to manufacturers, wholesal-
ers and importers pointing out that
Santa Claus, or St. Nicholas, "has
since time immemorial, been as-
sociated with children, and it is for
the best interests of the industry
that its advertisements should in
110 way associate the children's
saint with alcoholic beverages."
Teeth Put In
Bonus Rule By
Baseball Clubs
NEW YORK, Nov. G—UP—Base-
ball's fabulous "bonus babies,"
who used to get up to $100,000 plus
an automobile for dad just for sign-
| ing their names, may have to get
their big money strictly 011 a merit
basis in the future, commissioner
Ford Frick said Thursday.
Baseball's big boss, outlining the
proposed new bonus rule which will
be voted 011 at the Major and Minor
League meetings in Phoenix, Ariz.,
next month, said it contained 110
limits 011 what a youngster could
get. But the restrictions imposed
are so binding that only the "cream
of the crop" will be involved in
big-money bidding, Frick pointed
out.
The proposed rule provides that
any player who is signed for more
than the Major League salary min-
imum of $5,000 for a single year
must either be placed on the club's
roster for two full playing seasons,
or be subject to selection in the an-
nual "bargain basement" player
draft after one year on a Minor
League farm club.
The principal difference between
the proposed bonus rule and the one
which was discarded by baseball
two years ago, Frick said, is that ^
"there are teeth in this one which w
provided drastic penalties to vio-
lators, and we certainly will be pre-
pared to throw the book at any
club owners found guilty of such
practices."
Colts Ready
For Abilene *
Tilt Friday
The Reaagn Junior High school
Colts wound up their preparations
for their contest with North Jun-
ior High of Abilene and were pro-
nounced "Reaxly" by Coach J. B.
Gibbs today. «
The Colts travel lo Abilene for 3
the game, which will be played at
4:00 o'clock in the evening.
Willi the squad back at full
strength, the Colts are hopeful of
a victory over North Junior High
to give them a split with Abilene
teams this season. They lost an
earlier game to South Junior 20-G
and are out lor revenge.
Harold Hobbs is back in the j
lineup and at full strength, giving •
the Colls their sparkplug and lead-
ing scorer for the contest. Hobbs
mised the Edison of San Angelo
game but was in the Snyder con-
test where he picked up three
touchdowns.
Don Akin. Joe Bob Bland and
Dickie Allen round out the back-
field and give the Colts a lour-
some that can run, pass or plunge.
They have been hard to stop all
season.
llobbs and David Roberts, right .
end. are co-captains of the team.
With the Mustangs playing more
than 400 miles away and the Pon-
ies idle, many fans are looking
toward the Colt game as their only
football entertainment for the
weekend. A large number of local
fans are expeclod to follow them
to the Taylor county city.
