KID CTPID WINS
CARDIFF. Wales—Forbidden by
his father to marry, pavtd Lewes,
aged 1". appealed to the courts and
won his case.
e ine outstanding acmmmerit of
the year was the triumph of the
Athens high school Hornets In the
national basketball tournemen^ at
Chicago. It marked the first time
a national title had been brought to
Texas.
With the exception of Athens’
great team. West Texas supplied
champions in the principal sports
fostered by the league. Abilene win
ning the football crown and San An
gelo excelling in track.
Titles in tennis and golf, the less
' strenuous events on the year's pro
gram. came to Dallas.
As the Interscholasti’ League does
not attempt to foster baseball, there
can be no recognized champion on
the diamond, although several teams
have compiled great records. The
McKinney high school Lions gener
ally are regarded as the most power
ful aggregation in north and central
Texas, while Rotan and other1
schools have put in a claim from
West Texas.

I CPORTS ll
S DpORUM ll
The announcement that the
Brownsville schools will have a
centralized coaching system bids
fair to increase athletics a hun
dred per cent in another year or
two It till be a system by which
the athletes can be closely checked
and trained. In other words it will
be just like raising a voungster to
become a better athlete.
• • •
The svstem Is more or less a
new one for Texas high schools,
and Brownsville is to be com
mended for takinr, the lead in
such work.
• • •
Probably the greatest example of
this system is in existence at Notre
Dame where Knute Rockne has
built up one of the greatest ath
letic organizations in America. No
school has a better set of intra-1
mural athletics, and no sch&ol has
a better organized athletic system.
Every step through the school,
there exists close harmony be
tween the athletic departments.
One meChcd is used throughout
and is under the sole direetion of
one head.
• • •
Fessenden can install his style of
playing in the Brownsville schools
and through the close cooperation
of his assistants, the form can be
followed in various departments
Then when a lad finishes junior
high he will be accustomed to the
style of play in the high school,
since it will be of the same va-1
riety and so on through the jun- ,
lor college.
* • • •
The best example In Texas high
school Is that of Waco high.
Paul Tyson, probably the greatest
high school roach in the South.
In the I'nited States as far as
that matters, has a splendid sys
tem. When a lad gets Large
enough to run about, Tyson puts
him in some sort of athletic uni
form and by the time he gradu
ates from high school he knows
somethlnr about athletics and
has put his knowledge Into prac
tice.
• • •
And when a fellow has spent his
time under that system, he will re
call he has been taught under one
swatem and cot under a jumbled
bunch of ideas..
• . •
Rain has been playing havoc
with the Texas league teams the
last day or two. Just what will
happen when the fireworks start
again can hardly he determined.
Maybe it will he Shreveport and
maybe It trill be Dallas that will
oust the leading Cubs.

Tie For First With
Bruins In 10-8 Wirfi
—
By GAYLE TALBOT, JR. .
Associated Press Sports Writer
A spectre which has ham ted Texas league pilots since the iW® race
began stood out in relief today as the charging Shreveport Sports shared
with the Waco Cubs the honor of occupying the league pinnacle
The Louisiana team s fight for recognition was crowned with sure#**
yesterday as the Sports downed the Tort Wurth Panther*, .0 to ». m tut
concluding game of their series In*
Cattown. It was the aecond time :
since the season opened that Del
Pratt's youngsters had been forced
to make room at the top. The sched
ule. however, gave the Cubs a break
as the Sports must meet the ram- j
pant Dallas Steers in a double
header today while Waco plays the
lowly Beaumont Exporters twice.
Waco was idle yesterday, rain
making it impossible for the Cubs j
to play the last game of their series
with Houston. Beaumont and San
Antonio took a day off for the
same reason
Dallas added another victory to
the imposing string which Milton
Stocks men are building up by
beating Wichita Falls. 4 to 2. The
Steers are in third place, a game
and one-half out of first place and
in a position to walk toward the
top over the Shreveporters if they
can score enough runs.
The other double-headers are
carded for today. San Antonio en
tertaining Houston, and Fort Worth.
Wichita Falls. The Fort Worth se
ries will be a battle for fourth place
as the Spudders are at the top of
the second division only half a
game behind the Cats.
