The Panhandle Panthers
trounced the White Deer Bucks 18
to 13 at White Deer last Friday
afternoon, and took second place
in District 1-A while Phillips was
defeating Canadian 20 to 19. Phil-
lips went through the conference
district race undefeated and will J
play the winner of District 1-A.
Both games were packed with
thrills.
This was the last game of the
season for the Panthers and a
placing of second in District 2-A
standing.
Fans should be duly proud of j
the 1944 Panther squad for the I
excellent record they achieved.
Out of the 10 games they played
only one had the Panthers on the'
losing end of the score, that be- j
ing the loss to -Phillips, 12 to 7. i
ThefBucks took the offensive in
the first half but Jailed to score. |
However, they rolled up several*]
first downs and drove to the i
Panther two-foot line but the
Panthers put up q stiff defense |
and stopped their onlyv scoring j
threat of the lirst half. The pan-
thers took over on their own 6-J
yard line and retained the ball |
until.the whistle blew ending the
half.
Cats Come Back Strong
The Panthers came back in the
second hall with new determina-
tion. Urbanczyk- dropped kicked
the ball out of .fbounds on the
Panther’s 40-yard line. First down
10 yards to go for a first down
seemed a challenge to Herb Mar-
vel who took the ball on the first
play and cut between his own
left guard and left end and then
cut back to Che left to avoid a
White Deer player and ran 60
yard for the first Panther score
of the game. John Franklin kick-
ed for the extra point but the ball
went wide to leave the Panthers
in the lead 6 to 0.
Stunned for a moment the Bucks
then came back with new fury
and started a march down field.
Sparked by Urbanczyk who broke
loose on several long runs to place
the ball deep in Panther territory ;
he then took the ball around his
left end to score for the Bucks,
and dropped kicked the ball be-
tween the uprights to place the
Bucks in the lead 7 to 6.
Bucks Take Lead
Not satisfied with a one-point
lead ;the Bucks continued their
onslaught in the opening minutes
of play of the fourth quarter and
carried the ball to the Panther
one-yard line. Page took the ball
over center and with good block-
ing crossed the goal stripe. Ur-
banczyk drop kicked the ball, but
it was blocked to place the Pan-
thers on the trailing end of the
score 13 to 6.
With precious minutes escaping
Marvel threw a pass to A. C.
To we in the end zone from the
Bucks 30-yard line to chalk up
the second Panther score. Frank-
lin’s kick was low and the Pan-
thers found themselves still trail-
ing by one point 13 to 12.
With five minutes left to play,
the Bucks were* forced to punt.
Marvel dropped back for the punt
and took the ball on his own 30-
yard line. He cut to the left side-
line and with some of the best
blocking ever seen done by a small
school, raced 70 yards for the
final score of the game. Marvel
kicked the ball for the extra point
but the ball was low but the Pan-
thers took the lead 18 to 13.
Break -Year Jinx
The Panthers returned to Pan-,
handle overjoyed with their win
over White Deer that broke a
four-year jinx. A call to Phillips
saddened the boys to learn that'
Canadian l'ost to Phillips by a sin-
gle point, 20-19 when it was lead-
ing in penetrations. However, the
boy are proud of themselves over
their highly successful season.

Lesson One In The Education Of A Regent Of The University
Board Composed Of Nine Members
PHILLIPS BLACKHAWKS
EDGE CANADIAN 20-19
PHILLIPS, Nov. 17—The Phil-
By D. M. W.
Young people shouln be educat-
ed, but it seems, that a University
of Texas regent must be educated.
It was on Tuesday, Nov. 14, that
Gov. Coke Stevenson called this
editor and asked him to serve as
a regent of. the University.
During the past week the cor-
respondence ; has been arriving
daily. Much information has been
received from the office of the
secretary of the board, Leo C.
Haynes, of Austin.
In addition there are dozens of
letters commenting on various af-
fairs concerning the difficulties
between former President Homer
T. Rainey and the Board of Re-
gents.
Meeting Is Called
The first board meeting that
this writer will attend has been
called for Friday and Saturday,
Nov. 24 and 25 at the College of
Mines and Metallurgy, El Paso, a
branch of . the university.
Getting train reservations to El
Paso has been: almost impossible,
especially because of the short
time between announcement of
of the appointment and the
regent’s meeting. For a time it
seemed that it was going , to be'!
necessar yto get ddwn to the
T. & P., and go from some city
on that line to El Paso. The
Rock Island had no space avail-
able; the Santa Fe finally accept-
ed a reservation.
From information sent to this
new member, the board of re-
gents consists of nine members.1
Three members’ terms expire in
January, 1945. They are H. J.
lips Blackhawks officially won the
District 2-A grid crown here this
afternoon by nosing out the fight-
ing Canadian Wildcats 20 to 19.
The Blackhawks are undefeated
in conference play. But the Wild-
cats gave them an unexpected
tough battle. In fact, Canadian led
the Blackhawks six, to four in
penetrations but failed* ;to make
an extra, point which lost the
game.
Lutcher Stark, Orange; Mrs. I.
D. Fairchild, Lufkin, and Dr. C.
O. Terrell, Fort Worth. Dr. Ter-
rell was appointed a regent late
in October to succeed the late Dr.
K. H. Aynesworth of Waco. Dr.
Aynesworth was a brother of the
late Joseph H. Aynesworth, an at-
torney at Borger for many years.
Terms Expire In 1947
Terms expiring in 1947 are
those of W. Scott Schreiner of
Kerrville, Orville Bullington of
Wichita Falls and Dr. Judson
Taylpr of Houston. Dr. Taylor was
appointed Nov. 14 to succeed Dan
J. Harrison, “also of Houston, who
resigned ^Tov. 1.
Those whose terms expire in
1949 are D. F. Strickland, Mission;
Dudley K. Woodward, Dallas, and
David M. Warren, Panhandle.
Woodward and Warren were ap-
pointed Nov. 14 to succeed John
H. Bickett, jr., Dallas, and H. H.
Weinert, Seguin, who resigned
Nov. L.
Bickett was chairman and Wein-
ert vice-chairman of the board.
Business , is transacted through’’
several committees. According to
the university catalogue, these1
committees are: Athletics, audit-
ing, building and grounds, College
of Mines and Metallurgy, com-
plaints and grievances, executive,
finance, land, legislative, library,
McDonald Observatory visiting,
medical branch, museum,* public
relations and board for lease1 of
university lands.
Many Committees Appointed
The latest catalogue of the uni-
versity shows that members serve
on from five to seven committees
with the exception of the chair-
man, who was on the executive
committee only.
Copies of the budget have been
received. They show that the Re-
gents have charge of the expendi-
ture of about $6,000,000 annually
for the university, including, all
branches.
Budgets for 1944-1945 for vari-
ous units, of the university fol-
low:
divisions, Austin, $3,675,744; med-
ical branch, Galveston, $1,496,055;
school of dentistry, Houston, $184,-
160; M. D. Anderson Hospital for
Cancer Research, Houston, $191,-
750; College of Mines and Metal-
lurgy, El Paso, $234,020.
The Texas Museum at Austin
and the McDonald Observatory at
Alpine are under university alls-
pices. The' observatory is operated
jointly with the University of
Chicago.
This is just part of lesson one
in the education of a regent.

Early Mailing
Of Christmas
Gifts Wanted
Public response to the Post Of-
fice Department’s “Shop Now!
Mail in November” campaign is
good but needs to be better, ac-
cording to Pastmaster General
Frank C. Walker.
“Extraordinary wartime condi-
tions face us,” Walker said. “Un-
less more people buy and mail
this month the Postal service can-
not do its job of delivering all
Christmas gifts oh time.
“It is not pleasing to us to have
to ask the American people to
mail packages so far in advance
of the delivery date. We do so
only because it has to be done.
The job is a tremendous one, but
we are confident that it will be
done because we know from ex-
perience that given sound reasons
Americans cooperate magnificent-
ly.
“Unprecedented shortages of
man power and transportation fa-
| cilities growing out of the war
1 compel early mailing. The Postal
Service has given 50,000 experi-
enced employees to the armed
forces and 300,000 railroad work-
ers have gone to war. Equally ser-
ious is the fact that rail and other
transport facilities are- taxed to
the limit with the great burden of
war traffic which all of us know
must take precedence.
“In a great number of our 43,-
000 post offices the man power
situation is critical. The 200,000
extra workers whom we normally
recruited to handle the swollen
Christmas volume of mail were
able to work long hour of over-
time and to do heavy work. This
cannot be expected from the wo- .
men and high school boys and
girls to whom, in large part we
must look this year to meet the
situation.
“The way in which everyone
responded in making it possible 4
for us to handle a volume of 70,-
000,000 parcels for. the armed
forces overseas leaves no doubt
in my mind that the, November
Christmas mailing will be equally
successful; I ask for the help of
the press, radio, business adver-
tisers, civic groups and all Amer-
icans in making it possible for the
Postal Service to do its work.
“We urge everyone to buy now,
mail it November and mark gifts
| ‘Do Not Open Until Chritsams’.”
