Wildcats Settle Down
To Hard Grid Routine
By JOE WOOSLEY.
Camp Wolters, Minoral Wells.—
While a number of the other teams
overlooked the Sabbath day, the
Sulphur Springs Wildcats declined
routine drills and held services Sun-
day. The Rev. W. W. Chancellor,
pastor of the First Baptist Church
of Mineral Wells, came to the camp
upon the special invitation of Coach
Buddy Brothers and delivered an in-
spiring me.vage at 8 o’clock Sunday
morning.
Mr. Chancellor, a big man with a
commanding voice, brought a fine
message to the gridsters, and they
all were appreciative of his thought-
fulness. The pastor was in Sulphur
Springs a year or so ago and preach-
ed at the First Baptist Church on
the invitation of Dr. H. R. Long, the
pastor.
Coaches Brothers and Whacker
Barton permitted the gridsters the
opportunity to climb the rock-strewn
hills nearby Camp Woltcrs Sunday
afternoon, and this little work was
the only exercise the boys wanted—
as most of them are favoring sore
muscles, and a few have slightly
blistered feet.
The Wildcats, after a rough Sat-
urday afternoon session which con-
tinued for over two hpurs and was
concluded with a brisk scrimmage,
were given a free hand to roam
around Mineral Wells until 9:30
o’clock. A majority of the players
took advantage of the opportunity
to swim in the beautiful Baker Ho-
tel Pool. Others attended picture
shows, played ,minature golf, or just
inspected the town." All were ready
for bed upon their return to camp.
The Saturday afternoon scrim-
mage perhaps gave the coaches a
view of their “first” club for the
season. This line-up had J. A. Rhodes
and Murl Furney, ends; Weldon
Winfrey and Robert Hawkins, tack-
les; Jim Sid Wright and Loyd Dowd,
guards; Kearney Brim, center, and
Billy Wilson, Tom Ramey, Red Clif-
ton and Leland Campbell, backs,
showing to the best advantage on
the offensive attacks.
Billy Wilson and Tom Ramey have
shown improved form in punting,
booting the ball from 45 to 50 yards
on occasions. However, they were
not faced with charging linemen at
the time. Red Clifton and Gene
Campbell alo have been working on
their kicking lessons.
A boy the sideline spectators are
expecting to do great things this
year is Weldon Winfrey, husky 180-
pound tackle. The youngster lettered
last year, but jvs* not a regular. He
has been showing great defensive
strength so far, and his blocking on
offensive plays has improved imme-
diately. Raydell Armor, a reserve
letterman at tackle laRt year, is an-
other boy sounding a warning that
he is ready for first trench duty.
The next week’s work is expected
to be rougher and tougher, with a
polished grid machine being devel-
oped before the Sulphur Springs ’39
edition returns home.
DOPING
IT OUT!

WINGMEN. By way of introduc-
ing the various Wildcat grid candi*
dates, this corner begins today by
reviewing the players aspiring to
star at the terminal posts this fall.

J. A. Rhodes. “Jake" is a south
Hopkins County youth seeking his
third Wildcat numeral, although this
is his first season to shift out to a
wing post. He vs (i fe?t tall, and his
lank frame which holds only 168
pounds could easily carry 185 pounds
without any physical handicap. He
learns quickly, and on the defense is
as steady us they come. He is a qui-
et, unassuming lad—a team player
if you pleas?, who does his work
well and goes about it in a routine
manner. This is his final year on the
team.

MURL FURNEY. Murl was Sul-
phur Springs’ lone all-district player
last year, gaining the distinction
while a kid of 14 years. Including
this year he has three more years of
eligibility. He tips the scales around
15C, being a lank fellow and an ace
puss catcher. Although -slow to round
into playing condition,‘ohee in ahape
he is tough and rough and goes bet-
ter as the competition becomes keen-
er. His brother, Fred, who complet-
ed his eligibility last year, was a
fullback on the Wildcat club.
DEN DAY. “Dick," as the boys
have nicknamed Ben, mashes the
scales down to 156 pounds. He let-
tered as a back last year, and was
switched to the line as an end in the
spring drills. He has improved stea-
dily, and can be counted on for
some good play this year, although
he probably will not be a regular.
Ben tries hard at all times, and
learn^ quickly.

JOE CHAPMAN. Joe Jack Chap-
man, who comes from the Birthright
vicinity, is another rangy youngster
seeking a berth at end. His experi-
ence consists only of spring training
lost year, but he proved a good stu-
dent, and is "picking up the football
spirit and mechanics nicely. While
he isn’t slated to see much service
this year, no doubt he will develop
as the season progresses and be rea-
dy for some good work in ’40.
CHICK JAMES. Frail Chick James,
who at last declares he is ready to
go to war, is battling for a wing-
man’s post with more zeal and de-
termination than ever. He is a fair-
ly good pass receiver, but he is still
light for heavy defensive work. Nev-
ertheless, he should see some re-
serve service.

haphazartl look. They are now ar-1
ranged most, artistically.
Sunday we had a severe shortage j
of taxicabs. Anything with wheels]
was practically worth its weight in |
rubies. Monday the main shortage
seems to be in newspapers. The new
editions of the evening papers are
■so eagerly snapped up that they are
hard to buy.
The main subjects of conversation
are the sinking of the Athenia anil
Presidtnt Roosevelt's speech, aside
from the inevitable question which
no one bothers to ask any more—
that is, when is the first real raid
coming?
Seek American Help. (
The President’s talk is viewed
with a peculiar kind of hopefulness,
plus a slight impatience. Everyone
here assumes it will be a long war
and wants America in enormously,
but knows our difficulties. At least
a dozen people told me they are so
glad Mr. Roosevelt carried President
Wilson’s word to a further point by
saying that the United States did not
have to be neutral in spirit.
Scarcely anyone, from Prime Min-
ister Chamberlain down, is without
his gas mask Monday. A diplomat
with whom T had lunch carried his
in an old leather collar box. Smart
ladies carry silver fox furs on one
arm and the little brown cardboard
boxes on the other. The last taxi
driver I employed had his tied to his
hut.
The British Broadcasting Compa-
ny apparently has decided it’s no
use being gentlemanly any longer.
The old school ties are going over-
board fast. The broadcasts Monday
called Chancellor Hitler just Hitler,
not Herr Hitler, as heretofore.

London.—The second day of Brit-
ish participation in the second
world war passed very quietly. We
had an air raid alarm early Monday
—that was in the war’s first 24
hours—but since then everything
has been almost worryingly calm.
The calm before the storm, perhaps.
The people here show astounding-
ly little agitation, though the sinking
of the Athenia without warning is
news which must concern everybody.
First, it seems to indicate that the
German submarines got out into the
waters west of Scotland well before
the declaration of war. Second, it
may presage an immediate opening
of a submarine campaign in an at-
tempt to blockade Britain fi;pm food
supplies and essential raw materials.
The first thing I heard Monday
was the comVent of the hall porter
in my hotel, a magnificent creature
—“This 'ere ‘itler, Vs sentenced a
million people to death. We’U fix
’im.” ....
London blossomed out in a multi-
tudinous variety of uniforms Mon-
day. Evgn girls—assigned to air raid
duty—were wearing steel helmets.
The streets and shops are full of
strange juxtapositions. In a great
department store, I saw a sign, “lists
with a jaunty look.” Directly adja-
cent were big red arrows pointing
to the nearest sir raid shelter.
The shops are rather empty, and
most of the fashionable ones have
taken all goods out of the windows.
The windows on chic streets arc
plastered up with strips of paper in
order to prevent breakage when air
raids come. Sandbags around most
buildings have taken on a new ap-

Ottawa, Ontario, Sept. 4 (Cana-
dian Press).i—Federal provincial air-
raid precauations committees joined
forces Monday night against possible
enemy attempts upon Canada as the
Dominion rushed war preparations
but swiftly to complete a Dominion-
wide economic and military setup.
There was no indication that en-
listment would be opened for an
over-seas force or that the govern-
ment would recommend such action
when Parliament meets Thursday.
However, recruiting was under
way for the Canadian Active Service
Force and the sounding of bugles,
the throngs of young men, and tha
increasing number of khaki-clad sol-
diers in the streets gave Canada’s
capital city a warlike appearance.
Some units began recruiting Sun-
day, more followed suit Monday and
others swing into line Tuesday. Of-
ficials estimate about 100,000 men
are needed to bring the C. A. S. E.
to full strength.
The announcement of air-raid pre-
cautions brought the only additional
light on Canadian preparations since
the government announced Sunday
that Defense of Canada Regulations
are in operation, establishing war-
time prices and trade control board
ity to do so when Parliament meets.
Whether this recommendation will
include a forma) declaration of war
against Germany has not been dis-
closed.
Observers here believed if Canada
took any aggressive action, such as
capturing or attacking a German
vessel on the high seas, it would be
only after a formal declaration of
war. Until then Canada’s only ef-
fort would be to defend herself.
