Longhorns Polishing Off
With Light Practice
Sessions
w _
AUSTIN, Nov. 9 UP, — A Ught. |
Workout to round out three days
of training in preparation for their
crucial Southwestern Conlerence
tilt with the Texas Christian Uni
versity Progs on Armistice Day at
Port Worth was in store for the
Texas Longhorns today.
Coach Clyde Littlefield, guarding
against injuries in practice sessions. I
has not drilled his gridiron war
riors strenuously at any time in
priming them for the Frog en
counter, upon which probably
hinges the conference crown
Satisfied only partially with the
showing of the Longhorns in prac
tice during the past two days. Lit
tlefield has predicted that his
charges must have a change of
mind to put them in shape for a
victory.
“They can't win unless they get
that fighting spirit back.'* he $aid.
While not as pessimistic as usual.
Littlefield complained that the
Longhorns are not as determined
to win from the Frogs as they were
from the Rice Owls, whom they
defeated.
Tomorrow Coach Littlefield and
thirty Longhorns will leave for
Fort Worth. Tomorrow afternoon
they will have a light workout on
the T. C. U. stadium in preparation
for the Armistice Day clash.
The Longhorns were In good con
dition physically, although Bennie
Rundoll. end. injured in the Okla
homa game, and Roy Cooledge. re
serve guard, are out with in
juries. Ed Price, reserve end, has
missed practice for several days
because of illness of his mother at
Waco. It was not knowm whether
Price would be able to plav against
T. C. U.
CHAMPION TO
PERFORM HERE
Gus Kallio. middleweight wrest
ling champion, will defend his title
here Thursday night against an
opponent to be picked by the fans.
It has been announced by Promoter
l Ernie Stephens.
^ 8ix or seven leading middle
weights will be picked and placed
in the ring. The man getting the
most applause will be Kallio's op
ponent here, act opding to Stephen'!
plan.
Rounding out the card, the re
maining middleweight* will be pit
ted against each other.
These light boys should give the
fans lots of speed and some clever
wrestling.
Kallio is one of the best known
wrestlers in this country. He has
the best claim to the middleweight
belt at present and is undoubtedly
a great grappler. He should make
a big hit with Brownsville fans
who like ’pm fast and clever.
Last but not least, the one and
only Ben Freuden rein is slated to
referee the bout. Ben got Stephens
“fixed up" in a bout here recently
and the promoter will likely get
things “fixed up” for Ben Thurs
day night.
Jury Trial Sought
A hearing is to be held in the
civil district court Friday on a peti
tion asking that Judge O. C. Dancy
be ordered to give Mrs Lillie S.
Rabb a trial j Jury In her effort to
be judged of sound mind.
TT»e petition asking tho man
damus was filed Monday by Mrs.
Rabb and Fred Kowalski as her
next friend The petition alleges
denial of “legal, constitutional and
lawful rights under the constitu
tion of the United States and of
this state."
A hearing to have Mrs. Rabb ad
judged of sound mind was held be
fore Judge Dancy in probate court
recently and he decided use of a
jury in the attempted restoration,
ruling against the application.
CARD-HOUND TILT HEADS VALLEY GRID DOCKET
HOOKS
AND
SLIDES
It has just been announced that
the Flatbush Foolishness Boys, by
which is meant the Brooklyn Base
ball club, will train at Coral Gables.
Fla., and live for five or six weeks In
the aUnobphere of the swanky ;
Miami-Blit mart* hotetl- James,
quickly my lorgnette, please!
Thus the Brooklyn team turns its
back forever on the old hurly-bur
ly days in the south. Not many
years ago. when the team first ac
cepted Clearwater. Fla., as its train- j
ing base, the boys lived in an exalt
ed kind of shed.
It was one of those hotels that
.seemed to have but one key. which
the clerk carried In his pocket. To
attempt to lower the curtain in your
room was to pull it off its roller
with a clatter and a crash. There
was a bowl and stand In the cor
ner of your room Some of the bet
ter looms had mirrors, an eight-by
ten affair suspended crookedly by
wire from the molding.
Kobbie Liked It
Somehow that old hotel at Clear
water was part and parcel of base
ball. and it was characteristic of
Uncle Wilbert Robinson, until late
ly manager of the Dodgers Roobble
was an old-fashioned baseball man
and he was used to the rigors of
spring training.
There were creaky stairs. The
whole building creaked, in fact, and
when it rained you were pretty sure
to have some of It in your room.
Atheltes, trying to creep upstairs
with a minimum of noise, after
having spent the evening in the
convivial neighborhood of Ybor
City, a wide-onen Spanish suburb
of Tampa, nearby, were pretty sure
to make enough noise to awaken
even Uncle Robbie when those po
tented stairs started to whine and
whimper.
There was no need of a checkup
of players at a given hour in that
old hotel. The stairway told on
I everyone.
• • •
In His Own Domain
Here Uncle Robbie would sit in the
rickety lobby, wetting his thumb as
he turned the upages of a roster,
and discuss his ball club w h the
scribes. Usually he would have the
opening day lineup the second day
the boys were in camp. This would
be changed daily, depending upon
•he jleeds of the athletes at th<*
leaky-roof little ball park beyond
the railroad tracks.
Perhaps it is just as well that
Uncle Robbie isn't with the Dod
gers any more It is hard to imagine
him in one of those supercilious,
embarrassing lobbies such as some
7>f the more fashionable hotels In
Florida offer to the wealthier tour
ists.
It is impossible to picture the
Dodgers of the old days, for that
matter, choosing this fork or that
for the salad and filet mignon, and
sitting stiffy under the scorching
or condescending looks of the pig
iron manufacturers from Cleveland
who sit smugly at an adjoining table.
• • •
It Was Baseball
Tha* old frame hotel or earlier
Brooklyn days in the south had
something of color «nd honesty and
pulsing life that the Brooklyn team
has lost just as surely as it has lost
Uncle Robbie.
It bore a relation to the dug-out
which marble-walled and tiled foy
ers can never claim. It was base
ball training camp all over. It was
rough, and the men who came there
in the spring to prepare for a year
in the big league were rough, too
They matched it.
T am wondering if the Dodgers of
1933 will natch this magnificent
new hostelry’. And in what way.

OWLS CLASH
WITH AGGIES
' —
Farmers Expecting Hardest
Teit of Season From
Wise Birds
COLLEGE STATION. Nov. 9 —
The staunch defense q[ the “thin
red line of Aggieland which has
had only one touchdown punched
through it on running plays in
three Southwest Conference games
probably will receive its toughest
test to date this season in confer
ence play when the well oiled of
fensive of the Rice Institute Owls
comes to Kyle Field Friday seeking
its third conference victory in
I four starts. The game originally
, was scheduled for Saturday but
was hiked up a day because Friday.
Armistice Day. will be observed gen
erally as a holiday.
The Aggie line held the powerful I
TCU Horned Frogs to one touch
down gained from running plays,
the Frogs resorting to an aerial at- j
tack and a field goal to gain the
additional points of their 17 to 0
victory. It held Baylor and then
Southern Methodist to scoreless ties
in two other conference tills. And
it held Centenary, conquerors of j
j the University of Texas Longhorns
by a 13 to 6 count and the SMU
Mustangs by a 18 to 7 tally, to a
lone touchdown in an intersection
al clash.
Injury Jinx
To accomplish this, the Aggie
line had to overcome seemingly
insurmountable difficulties, brought
about by an injury “jinx ’ which
has camped on its trail since the
season started and which has been
unrelenting. Saturday injuries re
moved two more players, Ray
Murray and “Bear” Wright, ends,
the former a letterman. and brought i
the total of Injured linesmen to1
eight. But the march of the Cadet
reserves, who have adjusted them
selves constantly to fill the gaps,
has moved on, and the question
remains: Can the Aggie line stop
the Owl offensive?
Twinkling as the brightest stars ]
in the Aggie lorward wall probably
are Willis Nolan, center, and
Charlie Cummings, tackle and end.
Nolan is rated as one of the hard
est charging and tackling pivot
men in the conference tins sea
son. His play against Otis Harris,
Rice center who received all-con
ference mention in 1931. probably
will be one of the features of the
tilt. He is a senior and has two
letters to his credit,
i Cummings has been playing
heads-up football all season, and
he too is being menuoned as all- j
conference timber. His regular
position is at tackle, but he played
one-half ol the SMU game at end
and probably will start at the latter
P06t Friday. Ho is a Junior. Bob
I Cor.nelley. a Fort Worth sophomore
who shouted great improvement
against the Mustangs, probably will
draw the assignment at the other
wing post. Other startup linesmen
probably will be as follows: Whar
ton Jordan. Fort Worth, and Honk”
Irwin. Kosse, tackles; Stapp Max
well. Leonard and Sully Woodland,
Edna, guards.
Matamoros Rail
Service Resumed
Railroad service to the city ol
the city oX Matamoros from Mon
terrey has been resumed, after an
interruption of almost two months.
The small bridges which were
washed out at a point about five
miles from Matamoros have been
repaired, and the track alone; the
entire route has been put in shape.
1 Trams are now making the run on
•cfceduk.
Oregon State Ogre To
Play Eastern Elevens
Here are two Oregon State gridders who’ll be watched closely when
they meet Ford ham and Detroit. The fast-stepping lad is Frank Lit
tle. veteran fullback, and inset is Harold Pangle, sensational sophomore
half.
CORVALLIS, Ore., Nov. 9—Four
years ago an underrated Oregon
State eleven that had been kicked
around frequently In the Pacific
Coast Conference swooped down
upon a favored New York U. eleven
and came away with & startling
25-13 victory.
Another supposedly mediocre
Beaver eleven that was defeated
by Stanford. Southern California
and Washington State in its first
three conference games, again goes
east to battle Ford ham. November
19, and the University of Detroit,
Thanksgiving Day.
Coach Paul Schissler has a most
unusual record at Corvallis. His
teams seem unable to win a home
game, but rise only to great
lieights when they are far from
home. In 10 intcrsectional battles
complete a versatile back fie l<i Moe
is regarded as half of the defense
and the best interference runner in
Oregon State history.
Oregon State has one of the best
defense elevens in the conference.
It held Howard Jones’ Trojans to
a 10-0 score this year while Pop
Warner's mighty Stanford clan was
beaten by Southern California, IS
0.
since 1915, Oregon State has lost
only three.
Success has crowned every re
cent eastern invasion. In 1929.
Schlssler took his men to Detroit
to conquer the University of De
troit. 14-7. The next year they
went to Chicago to upset West Vir
ginia, 12-0. Last year they swept
aside Utah. 13-0, at Portland in the
only intersection tilt.
The 1932 Beavers are pretty fair
ball players. Captain Hal Moe
has no peers on the Pacific Coast
as a blocking halfback.
Harold Pangle, sensational sopho
more; Johnny Biancone. black
haired Italian triple-threat star,
and Frank Little, veteivn fullback.
