ATLANTA —OJPI)— Atty. Gen.
Eugene Cook puts the finishing
tmirhes today to an investiga-
tion which he said indicates
that Wally Butts passed “vital
information'’ to Alabama Coa-
ch Paul (Bear) Bryant.
Cook said the information
could have affecled the out-
come of last year’s Alabama -
Georgia game which Alabama
won 35-0.
Butts was the athletic direc-
tor at the University of Georgia
at the time. He resigned the
post in February
bed by DiMaggio as a future
star at training camp last
year, socked his sixth and sev-
enth home runs of the exhibi-
tion season Sunday to lead the
Yankees to a 10-4 victory over
the Chicago White Sox.
Pepitone. who bats and
throws left-handed, now leads
the power-laden world cham-
ions in homers and also has bat-
ted In 14 runs. Some observers
felt the Yankees were giving
away too much when they sent
Skowron to. the I-os Angeles
Dodgers this winter in exchange
for pitcher Stan Williams.
Brass Breathing Easier
But Pepitone. showed flashes
of brilliance in his rookie year
last season although hitting
only .239 in 63 games, has the
Yankee brass breathing easier.
They now are hopeful that Joe
will man the Yankee first base
u. rcu....... station for many years to come.

Another investigation is un-
der way in Alabama and testi-
mony is expected to be made
today before a legislative in-
vestigating committee from
several University of Alabama
football players.
The Alabama committee is
headed by State Rep. Alton
Turner who said that the foot-
ball players, all seniors, pro-
bably will begin testifying to
the committee behind closed
doors.
Cook said it appeared
• from the evidence of my in-
vestigation plus the polygraph
examination that vital and im-
portant information was given
by Butts to Bryant about the
Georgia team before the
game.”
The statement drew an im-
mediate rebuke from lawyers
re resenting Butts.
Attorney William H. Schro-
der said Cook was obviously
relying on “uncorroborated
statements" from questionable
and had not given

on berth hands Thursday night,
the Daule high Rama dropped
a 6-4 diamond decision to- the
Ball high Dragons ot Seguin on
that date.
The losers were coasting a-
long with a two-run lead until
the bottom of the fifth, when
the Dragons combined a pair
of blngles with three Ram bob-
bles to card five runs, one more
than enough to ‘take’ the con-
test. For insurance, the Seguin
crew added another tally in the-
ir half of the 6th to give them
a two-run cushion.
In a spirited but inadequate
bid to stay alive, the Rams
pushed across a couple of tal-
lies in the final (seventh) inn-
ing. but the spree ended with
the DeWitt county group two
runs short.
Donald “Scrap” Taylor went
the route for Cuero and limit-
ed the winners to only four hits,
but half this number Were com-
bined with Daule boots to ac-
count for the difference in the
final tally.
April 2, the Rams will go a-
field at Muny Park Stadium
here against the Hallettsville Ti-
gers in a non-district tussle.
Comparative strength of the two
clubs is not known as far as
the Tigers are concerned, but
the Rams will enter the game
with a 3-1 season’s record and
a 1-1 district standing.
Your attention is directed to
a story appearing on today’s
sport page relative to quite an
unusual incident involving Nor-
man Williams of this city.
Said incident occurred on the
Texas Gulf Coast and is a fish
story that was verified, in con-
trast to some that are not vou-
ched for. Read it.
Fellow of our acquaintance
once told us of an incident in-
volving a friend of his who bet
a stranger a small fee that said
stranger coukl not predict the
outcome of a baseball game pr-
ior to the time the game got
underway.
Seeing no possible way that
he could lose, the friend of our
friend put up his do-re-me, a-
long with a Uke amount from
the stranger and when the lat-
ter said: ”7be score is 0-0,”
. Advised the Lady of the Ma-
nor the other day that I had
decided definitely that every
time I left the security of our
heavily mortgaged abode to do
any work in the yard, I plan-
ned to adorn work gloves.
Seems that I am susceptible
to hand bruises, whether I pick
up a stick of fireplace wood,
oil the lawn mower, pet the
dogs, water the horses or re-
place automobile license plates,
I end up with various and sun-
dry scars or bruises. It also
seem* that in our activities a-
round the premesis, that one
day our ageing paws would stri-
ke one of the tender places ra-
ther than an abrasive one.
Can truthfully say that there
are steaks on local retail coun-
ters that have not been bruised
nearly so much as my own
hands at the moment.
Out of the Sarasota (Fla.)
News comes the following:
“Do rwt stick skewers, kniv-
es or forks in your roast too
soon, as all natural juices will
drain out and spoil it’s flavor.'

Fred Hansen, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Fred Hansen Sr. of this
city and a student at Rice Uni-
versity of Houston, set a new
pole vault record at the 6th an-
nual Louisiana State Invitation
track and field meet held at Ba-
ton Rouge Saturday.
Hansen was one of the Rice
athletes who set two of the four
records established in this par-
ticular meet. Due to the efforts
of these youngsters, Rice copp-
ed the meet with a total of 55
prints, with LSU the runner-up
with 51 points. Another Hous-
ton school, jhe University of
Houston, came in third with 43
prints. These winners and run-
nersup were trailed by South-
western Louisiana and Louisi-
ana Tech with 14 and 11 prints
respectively.
In the final event of the meet.
Hansen soared over the bar at
the 15’6" level, which was a
record breaker for the Louisia-
na show.
