Pirates Renew Grid Rivalry
With Robstown Friday P.
MAP SHOWS TEXAS OIL PRODUCTION
iteli....... —---------- -----1
NUMBER 861
With almost all of the color,
trappings and spangles of a three-
ring circus, football enters the
sports arena In South Texas tomor-
row night.
With the exception of a few re-
luctant elevens who are pastponing
their debuts until nex^ week, Fri-
day evening's opening volley will
find nearly all of the schools in
this area mixing it up on the grid-
iron come eight o’clock.
District 39-A presents for its
opening round an interesting array
of contests highlighted, from a lo-
cal standpoint, by the Sinton-Robs-
town fracas. Other curtain raisers
Include Corpus Christ! BB at Ben-
avides, Aransas Pass at Rockport,
Mercedes at Falfurrlas and Corpus
Christ! College-Academy at Freer.
Sinton’s Pirates, who have been
lumped with Taft and Alice as "the
learns "most likely to succeed" in
usurping the Falfurrlas ; Jerseys’
one-year reign as conference
champs, seem to have drawn the
toughest assignment in Robstown's
Pottbnpiekers. At any rate they will
take the field in the ride of under-
dogs as is generally the rule when
a team of lower classification meets
a member of the upper %trnta.
The Pickers are not destined to
go too far in District 16-AA, how-
ever Tex Kassen has a big squad,
and if strength lies in numbers,
Robstown’s eleven could be very
rough and tough. Almost lost In
the big turnout for positions on this
season’s eleven are seven lettermen,
live of whom saw very little action
last year. On this sextet, which in-
cludes backs Reuben Lopez, Jimmy
Brothers and George Osborne,
tackles Frankie Burroughs and Al-
bino Pena, ends "Rusty” Wheeler
and Jack Jones and pivot man
Wayne Paschal, ride the hopes of
the Cottonpicker’s fans for a suc-
cessful campaign.
The Pickers will operate exclu-
sively off the “T,” and that being
the case, tomorrow evening’s tete
a tete should turn out into quite a
"Tee party” as Coach Murray Stp-
^phenson’s Pirates have added the
"mah under" formation to tljelr re-
pertoire .The Rues attack should
be a versatile one, since they also
intend to continue to make use of
their old standbys—the single and
double wing formations.
The Pirates fared none too well
at their training camp at Wimber-
ly. It might have bee.n the heat, butt
their Workouts were far" from im-
pressive. During this week, howev,- ,
er, they have shown improvement; ij
but they are still short on spbkd
and are somewhat ragged, defen-
sively. And, as usual, they are; ijot,
too strong on reserve strength. . »'
Three of the four probable stdtt^L
ers in the backfield are l<5|tefmerV.‘' ■’
These include ’!Red” Thorp, tulf--
back, and Ken Lightfoot and Ilers-
chell Gossett, halfbacks. Diminutive
L. M. Huff, a 1946 squadman, has
been handling the ball from the
man under position and it is likely
that his name will appear on the
opening line-up.
The middle of the Corsair line
with dependable Martin Lee Tid-
well at center is well fortified,
but Sint-in fans should not be too
surprised If they suddenly see him
cavorting ,at the quarterback post
while Louis Owen shifts, over to
the Keystone spot. A hasty glance
at the rest of the forward wall will
find Homer Mick and Bob Jqseph
at the guard positions, rugged
Hugh Gossett and Owen at the
. tackle slots and Harvey Frommh
and Ernest Hunt anchored at the
terminals. Should Fromnie hpt be
In the line-up It is almost a cer-
tainty that Ray Knox, a non-letter
winner, will replace him. Th»»thep
probable starters are award Varn-
ers, although Joseph and Hunt
didn’t perform too often last aut-
umn. Coach Stephenson”* Is still
non-commltal as to his ... starting
eleven and the above IlHe-up is
based on opinions and hearsay of
the sideline'coaches.’
Judging from the large attend-
ance at the daily practice sessions,
' is running rtry high in the’
pigskin fortunes of the Pirates for
1*47, and a throng o, ainuT-up'
portnre 1« exported to hit the road
In a mass exodus to Robstown to-
morrow night. Although in most
quarters the Pirates are not con-
conceded a chance against the Cot
tonplckers, there are a few tons
who believe that the opposition will
be ?at ,!h® Plrates are bot to
«• *w
« vne loea,
return to Hinton with a victory.

Kingsville, Sept. S—Having can-
celled their game with Trinity Un-
iversity in a protest over "high
pressure recruiting tactics, the
Texas A&I Javelinas are looking
for another contest to round out a
ten-game schedule this fall.
Coach Dewey Mayhew wants to
fill November 22, already an open
date, or November 29, the day the
Hogs were to play Trinity In San
Antonio. He would like an inter-
sectional game.
A&I called off Its game with
Trinity upon Coach Mayhow’s re-
commendation to the .faculty com-
mittee on athletics. Returning Jav-
elin n lettermen from 1946 told of
being contacted by representatives
of Trinity during the summer and
of offers made if they would trans-
fer to the Ban Antonio school.
End Jerry Wendell of Rockport
and Tackle- Jack Schulze of Devine,
both lettermen at A&I last fall,
transferred to Trinity last •month.
“Self protection dictated the de-
cision of the committee,” President
Jones said. A&I officiais said that
they felt that the only way to pre-
vent future attemps at raiding was
to call public attention to the prac-
tices by cancelling the game. Trini-
ty was released from Its 1948 game
here.
Meanwhile the Javelinas continue
their two-a-day practice sessions
in preparation for their opening
game Sept. 20 here against the
Howard Payne Yellow Jackets.
Injuries, which proved such a
jinx last year, have hit the Hogs
again, but additional reserve
strength may ease the blow. Line-
men at least temporarily disabled
are Tackle^ Pete Bluntzer of Cuero,
pulled leg muscle; Center Tolbert
Holland of George West, broken
hand; and Guard Dean Kluekman
of Raymondviila, hurt foot. In the
backfield, Halfback Marvin Schwarz
of Mercedes, high scorer last fall
has a twisted knee, and Halfback
Larry Stapp of Three Rivers has
injured shoulder muscles.
Aiding the situation in the line.
hartl4h.it by withdrawals, was the
appearance Monday ot James Black
of Abilene, letterman guard. Ho
had not been expected back this
year. Black was the Javelinas’ most
consistent lineman last fall.

Odem Teachers
Find Positions By
S. T. S. C. Bureau
LaVerne May and Winifred
Bloomqulst of Odem are among the
more than 175 persons who have
found teaching positions this sum-
mer through the Southwest Texas
State College Placement Bureau.
However, say Placement Bureau
Officials, placement of these teach-
ers didn’t make too much of a dent
In the large numbers of applica-
tions for teachers that the office
continually receives. An unofficial
estimate ha's placed the number of
jobs still open at more than three
times the number of applicants.
A number of requests for teach-
ers have been from other states, as
well as Mexico and several South
American countries. But, say the
Southwest Texas State College of-
ficials, there’s not much hope of
filling many of these jobs. Most of
this year's crop of teachers seems
to want to stay close to home, and
wjiat with the eontlnued teacher
shortage, most people are getting
to pick their jobs.
LaVerne May will teach Math, at
Kingevillej High School. Winifred
Bloomqulst will teach language and
art at Brownsville High School.

other fourteen counties which once

The Association’s study showed
that since 1919 more than two and
one-half billion dollars have beeri
paid—chiefly to farmers and, ranch-
ers—for bonuses, leases, rentals
and royalties.
These payments in 1946 totaled
$248:108,000, which, Is equivalent to
j 8e for every dollar of Texas farm
and livestock income, according to
the survey.
The Association estimated there
are 169,560 owners of royalties in
