“NOT A COUGH IN A CARLOAD**
EACH GAME TO
HAVE ONE HEAD
______
College, High and Junior
High All to Get Same
Training
—
A plan for centralizing and sys
tematizing athletics* in the Junior
college, high school and Junior high
here in such a manner that the best
possible results will be obtained was
announced todgy by Supt. O. W.
Gotke.
Beginning this fall, each major
sport in all three institutions will
be under the direct supervision of a
qualified head. Aided by two as
sistants. this head will coach all of
the squads along the same lines.
With the teams getting the same
coaching It will be easy for a player
to step from the junior high squad
into that of the high school, or
from the high school into the junior
college.'With this centralized coach
ing scheme in operation, a player
can be taken in on the Junior high
squad, thoroughly grounded in the
fundamentals of the style used. He
will naturally be a better high school
plaver due to his knowledge of the
style and strategy. He should be
even better after four years of high
school competition when he steps
into the junior college squad This
I long training should be conducive to
excellent team play as the squads
progress.
* Only City
It is believed that Brownsville is
the only city in the state to link
un a system of this sort covering
athletics from the Junior high
through the junior college Waco
has a somewhat similar method
that they use in junior high and
hich school.
Douglas Fessenden, who led the
high school Eagles through an un
defeated season last vear. has been
selected as the head of football.
Fessenden will be aided by Raymond
Plato and Clarence Surtees, a new
: comer from San Antonio who is
highly recommended. Plato and
: Surtees will work in close coopera
tion with Fessenden, carrying out
all his wishes and ideas. Each of
the teams will be given the same
I training. They wtl probablv be
grounded in the Illinois stvie of plav
used by the high school Engles last
year.
Surtees In Charge
Surtees will probably be in charge
of the Junior College squad when
Fessenden is unable to be present.
Fessenden will more than probably
give all the personal attention pos
sible to the high school squad.
Plato will tutor the remainder of
the gridmen.
J. W <Red> Irvine will aid but
will devote most of his time to his
duties as director of athletics in the
entire public school system.
The system as outlined above will
obtain during the basketball sea
; son also with Plato as head. Surtees
and Fessenden will act as assistants
! during this season.
Track will be under Fessenden.
“We believe that this system of
having a specialist at the head of
I each major sport in all three schools
will give us the best possible re
sults. While they may not become
immediately apparent, although I
. know no reason why not. these re
| suits will inevitable be shown in a
few years. We are laying the
groundwork for good teams in the
future.” Supt. G. W Gotke said.
Coaches Work
The new system is in contrast to
that used in part years when three
caoches working independently had
charge of the teams. “We ob
! talned what we believed to be fair
results from our old system." Supt.
Gotke said, "but even better can be
: exacted from our new one. in our
/■pinion”
» Clarence Surtees, the newcomer, is
highly recommended as to his ath
; letic abilities and quiet qualities by
those who know him here.
Supt. Gotke states that Surtees
is one of the finest young men I
have ever had in a school of mine
, He attended Main Avenue high In
San Antonio when I was there.”
Surtees is well known to Fessen
den and Irvine also. He was a
member of Fessenden's 1926 Main
Avenue track team that won the
state championship. Surtees was
a member of the relay team that
carried off high honors later at
Lawrence. Kan. H? graduated from
8t. Mary's college in San Antonio
this vear. Surtees was captain of
the football squad in addition to
starring in other sports.

Shippers Tramp On
Tribe's Toes With
5-1 Win; Only Game
ByGAYLE TALBOT. JR..
Associated P.ms Sports Editor.
A bumper crop of bargain bills is due to be reaped by Texas league
fans as a result of continued rains. Scarcely a day has passed in the last
I two weeks that two or more teams hare not been idle or been forced to
! play on sogfty diamonds. In desperation, the magnates have taken to
putting on an exhibition unless the sacks are entirely concealed by water.
and there have been numerous mo
stances of late where games have
been played in veritable quagmires.
There was gnashing of teeth
in six business offices yester
day as the ram swept away three
contests, at Dallas. Port Worth and
Waco.
Only at Beaumont, where the up
and coming Exporters hung up their
sixth straight triumph at the ex
pense of the San Antonio Indians,
1 5 to 0. was there activity. The an
cient Tom Estell handed the Tribe
Its second straight whitewashing.

«feat the previous day. Both pitch

t
ers. incidentally, are Wichita Falls
cast-offs.
Dick Moudy. the Tribe's new
chunker from the west coast, gave
as wierd an exhibition of throwing
to the Shippers as could be imag
ined without considerable effort.
He permitted Robby's macemen only
three hits, but that wasn't the half
of it. dearie. He issued passes like
a wrestling promoter, no less than
11 Exporters reaching first by the
gift route. Between times he set
tled down and cracked four batsmen
in the ri£s and unlimbered a couple
of wild pitches*

Written Especially for Central
Press and The Herald.
Somewhere in the war-tom land
of Mexico, if the last news I heard
of him stll holds good, is an aging
athlete making a gallant fight
against the enemy who wins in the
end over all athletes—Time. The
man Is Hal Chase, as graceful and
sure an athlete as ever donned a
baseball uniform. The last I heard
of Hal was that he was manging
a semi-pro outfit in Nogales. Son
ora. Mexico. Whether the revolu
tion caused him to move back to
the United States or not. I do not
know.
Chase, who blazed a shining
trail of stardom while with the
New York Americans. Buffalo Frd
erals. Cincinnati Redr. and New
York Giants before fading out of
organized ball to join an outlaw
league in the Southwest, was the
greatest first baseman I ever saw.
The little red books in which are
enshrined the star performances
! of major leaguers, nast and pres
ent. are doted with the feats of Hal
Chase.
For Instance, he accepted 22
chances in each of two games. In
1906 Hal made 22 putouts in one
game . And so on.
As a first baseman In the days
when Chase was in his prime, and
after seeing most of the past and
present day guardians of first base 1
in action. I have no hesitancy in
awarding the laurel wreath to Hai.
Chase made the most astonish
I mg plays with careless confidence
' and his quick thinking and execu- I
tion of plays put him in a class by I
himself. In the dirt, high In the '
air. wide throws or wild throws, j
! few balls escaped the brilliant j
I Ch3sr at first base. In addition to ,
his great defensive plav. Chase was :
an excellent hitter, although not |
ranking with the sluggers of his !
I time.
Hal Chase was a collegp man. It
was while playing baseball at Santa
Clara college. California, that he
first attracted notice. Later he
! plaved with thp Las Angeles club
of the Pacific Coast league before
going to the big leagues.
