Collegians Break Jinx lu
Defeating Cliiea^oans
In Dallas Monday
DALLAS. — The Centennial All-
Stars, coached by Matty Bell of
SMU and Dutch Meyer of TCU,
finally broke the orofesslonal jinx
Monday niglu, when the hustling
collegians bested the Chicago Bears,
crack professionals, 7 to 6.
It was an intercepted Bruin pass
by Jim Lee Howell, University of
Arkansas end. in the third period
which paved the way for the All-
Stars’ touchdown. Howell took a
flip from Ronzanl, Bears' pass-
heaver on the Chicagoan's 25 yard
stripe and raced to the one-yard
line before he was hauled down
from behind.
Mickal Scores
On the next play, Abe Mickal.
brilliant Louisiana State back,
slashed through the line for the
touchdown. Taldon Manton. Texas
Christian star hooter, placed the
oval between the uprights for the
extra point and the winning mar-
gin in the bitterly fought game.
The Bears saved their face ma-
terially in the closing minutes of
the same period when a horde of
Bear linemen swarmed through to
block Mickal's kick and recover on
the All-Stars' two yard line.
Nagurski Counts
Bronko Nagurski smashed
through for the counter. Jack Man-
der was called on to try for the
extra point. His usually unerring toe
failed on the kick and the All-
Stars had a victory margin they
fought stubbornly to retain during
the fourth quarter.
Outstanding performances were
turned in by Abe Mickal. who kick-
ed the Bears to death. Little Bobby
Wilson, SMIU's All-American half-
back, ran the Pros ragged until he
was injured late in the second per-
iod after a brilliant run which aid-
ed his ex-college mates to get out
of a hole.

BOB COOKE
Ambers Ends Tony’s Reign
Between matches in the national singles championships at Forest
Hills, L. 1., Donald Budge, left, American ace, and Fred Perry,
Great Britain’s Davis Cup star, get together in the stands. They
prove that tennis is their sole interest by discussing the merits of
tennis shoes that Perry inspects closely.
Squad Said To lie Lightest
In History; 35 Hoys
Working Out
A TtCG'c-iV— Baker Wright, new
coach of the Ranger Bulldogs, has
been working out his prospective
football players, but is not very op-
timistic over prospects for his team
this season, due largely to lack of
weight and experience.
or the 35 boys who have been
reporting for daily practice, only
three are lettermen and the squad
as a whole is the lightest in the
history of the school.
Coach Wright said he had only
two or three weighing more than
150 pounds and but one bettering
that mark by as much as 15 pounds.
The almost utter lack of veteran
heavy material is due to some ex-
tent to graduation, but largely to
the failure of several of the hefty
Bulldogs to make their grades last
year.
Among those scholastically ill-
egible are a 211-pound and a 175-
peund tackles, a 170-pound back-
field man and a number of others
who would, at least, have boasted
the gross tonnage of the squad.
Returning Veterans
Of the returning lettermen none
has had very much experience, but
al] three are expected to carry a
large portion of the defensive and
offensive burdens of the team. They
are Gates Barker, the largest ol
the lot, who is being worked at
tackle; waiter ' Bill) Cox. who let-
tered in the backfield last year and
who is working at quarter this year;
and Harmon Ainsworth, a small,
but scrapping backfield candidate.
Aside from the lettermen several
of the squadmen are looking prom-
ising in early training. They are
Beverly Dudley, guard; Elton Bo-
ncy, end; Willard Balch, end; Jim-
mie Ralston, center; Raymond Lin-
glc and Prentice Abies, backs.
Two newcomers who are looking
good arc Glenn Ed Murphy and
William O'Shields. both of whom
have had previous football exper-
ience.

ing 7-3 in the last half ot the
ninth. In the last half of the inn-
ing. the first three batters got on

Ke l urn From D.iihi,
Miss Lois Watson and Miss Lo-
Irene Williams have returned from
Dallas where they atleliiled Hie
‘ Centennial this week-end.
Ranchers in this territory would
for several reasons, like to see a
good rain. We hunters, however,
could relieve them of one worry if
we would exercise a little thought
and judgement, if you arc not one
of those birds who think a burning
cigarette stub won’t start a fire,
then tt will help to remind you to
be careful while you are hunting
doves.
Yea don’t h"vc to drive very far
from Sweetwater to find evidence of
a careless dove hunter throwing
down a burning cigarette stub. Sev-
eral pastures in this territory have
suffered fire because a careless hun-
ter tossed his cigarette away with-
out snuffing it out.
4, « *
And if you don’t believe a cig-
| arette will start a fire, try it some-
j time. We once won an argument
and a coke on the side that we could
start a fire with a cigarette. An
acquaintance chided us and the
i fire marshall for blaming a fire in
| the town on a careless smoker. He
! contended a cigarette stub would go
out before it would set anything
on fire.
We bet him iyc could start a lire.
He said he would call it and let us
use anything we wanted as tinder,
even offered to let us saturate what-
ever selected in ether. It didn't take
very long to convince him he was
wrong, go when you see a pasture
that has burned off you can pretty
safely say that it was fired by a
cigarette. Have a care for people’s
property when you go dove hunting.
If wc arc to believe the woeful
■ tales of Bill Mayes over at Ranger,
the Bulldogs are practically no
I dogs at all.
Writes Bill in the Ranger Time.
‘‘As far as I know, wc haven't
ally team as yet. Not that 1 mean
| it isn't so good, but that literally
i our team hasn't been formulated
as yet.
j “As to lettermen. you might n.sk
j Eck Curtis or N. S. Holland and i
; get almost as much information
! from them because, if I am not j
misinformed, one-fourth of our let- l
termcn are going to Breckenridge I
High, and the other three-fourths I
are going to school here in Ranger.
As near as anyone can figure it
out, there will be enough lettermen
left here to make a starting line-
up, but they won’t weigh very much.:
It seems that some 14 or 16 of the j
squadmen from last year failed to |
adhere to one of the foolish rules
the school has, which requires that
football players study just as any-
one else and they failed to make
their grades.
Bill says further on in his rant-
ings that "as far as I know we
i Odell Willbank.s, Clayton Weems,
Truman Vittitow. Rufus Goodruni,
Edwin McCombs Weldon Mize and
Herman Hughes.
Among the promising prospects
are Rex Cox, J. D McKee, Clayton
Mann. Johnnie Malouf, Cecil Dar-
den Jack Kennedy, Hesse Fagan,
Luther Milwee, Paul Durham, Hom-
er Martin, Ellis Goodrum, Bert
Cornelius, U N. Hull, Kenneth
Moody. Floyd Mize. Floyd Strock-
Jand, and Howard Swann.
Coach Hunt is making no rash
premises this season, but with the
beef he will have in the line and
the brawn and brains in the back-
field. he expects his team to go
much further In the district race
than last season.

Leaves For College
Buck Ingram, who spent the sum-
mer here in the home of his aunt,
Mr. and Mr, Clarence Breeding,

glorious reign of the game little Italian as lightweight champion

BRANTLEY’S

have excellent chances of playing
ten games this year as that many
have been scheduled. The first four j
have been scheduled to be played
in Ranger, but we have torn down
our stands and arc trying to build
a new stadium. But just when we
got the steel work well started and
the ground nlowed, whatever tt is
that happens to those WPA pro-
jects happened, and there has been J
nothing done for the last three j
weeks, so it looks as though we will
have to play those home games
away from Ranger, up until the
middle of November, at least.
The good eld gurssing game of
“who is going to win the South-
west Conference?'' is on and every
coach is trying to "put the finger''
on his rivals. The favorites now
seem to be Arkansas. Texas A. & M
and Texas Christian. As a whole,
It in our humble opinion that the
conference will produce a bunch til
teams pretty well matched in stren-
gth. and none capable of standing
cut as did the Mustangs and Horn-
ed Frogs last season. But we hav-
en’t counted SMU. Texas and Rice
rut of the picture, and wouldn’t be
surprised it the Baylor Bears won't
be the "dark horse."
