Texas Interscholaslic
Makes Ruling On
Transfers This Year

Austin, Tex, Sept. 26.--For the
purpose OF interpreting several Inn
portant phases OF the new transfer
rule. a meeting OF the University OF
Texas Intcrscholastic League State
Executive Committee has just been
held. Rendering Of these interrre-
tations at this time has been made
necessary By the large number OF
requests which have been received
at the State office. The approval
ruling follows:
/. The transfer rule shall not af-
feet the eligibility Of any student
who transferred before the end OF
the l92i-22 school year.
9. The transfer rule shall not APP
ply in any case where a student does
not leave home to attend school.
This Interpretation is for the bene-
fit Of the student in a rural dis
trict who lives close enough TO at
tend two or more schools. In this
case he has the right to select the
best school and is not forced, in or
der TO be eligible for athletics, to
attend the nearest school TO his home
which might be inferior or actually
more inaccessible than another.
3. The term nearest school as
used in the transfer rule means the
nearest school 70 the home of the
student as measured by the public
road
4. Zone years regular attend
ance" as used in the rule means that
the attendance must occur after the
transfer has been made and not be-
fore.
The transfer rule, to which the
above rulings apply, reads as fol-
lows:
"A student is eligible to represent
only the school district in which his
parents or guardians reside; pro-
vded. CD a student is not barred
under this rnle who transfers TO the
higher class school located nearest
his home; (2) one years regular
attendance renders student eligi-
BILE to represent the school so at
tended in contests Of the league.

Catholic Church History
The first church established IN
Texas was In the present county OF
Houston, where the San Pedro creek
empties into the Neches river, north
cast of the town Of Crockett IN
1000, BY Father Massanet u Fran.
ciscan monk, and was christened
Mission Of San Francisco de TEXAS.
This mission was abandoned after n
few years, but re-estahlishcd BY
Father Antonio de Margil IN lflo
and re-christened Mission San Fran.
cisco de- los Neches. Father Margil
and a number Of priests, accOmpan-
led the famed expedition Of Dom
lingo Ramon, guided by that prince
of adventures, Louis Juchereau de
Saint Dennis, and growing out Of
this expedition was the founding Of
five other missions in East Texas,
namely, Nestra Sonora de la Nacog-
doches, Guadalupe (July 20, 1870,
La Purrissima Conception, San Jose,
San Miguel de Linares and Nestra
Sonora de los Dolores. All Of these
missions were established within a
radius of fifty miles of the present
town of Nacogdoches. The San An
tonic missions will form a separate
story later in this series.
Protestant Church History
The strongest side-lights on the
history of Professionalism in Texas
is furnished in the biography of
Reverend Littleton Fowler, probably
the first duly accredited Methodist
missionary to Texas, and its deevlop-
ment and growth in the biography Of
Reverend Rufus c. BurlesOn, Baptist
minister and teacher
Littleton Fowler was born Sep
TENDER -, 1902, in Smith county,
Tenn. The Fowler family claims a
succession Of preachers from the
time Of the visit of Wesley and Ash
bury 10 America. He began preach
ing at the age of Is and volunteer
ed for missionary work in the Re
public Of Texas in 1897. Littleton
Fowler was self-educated, being de-
MED adequate school training in his
youth. January nth. 1893. at San
Augustine, under the supervision of
Rev. Fowler the cornerstone of the
first Methodist church was laid in
the Texas Republic with Masonic
ceremonies. This was probably the
first Protestant church erected in
Texas). In addition TO the sermon

THE NEED OF PROTECTION

The striking shopmen from several

to protect railroad property and the
workers who have taken the places
OF the strikers.
As matter Of fact, II the intentions
OF the strikers are as they assert:
peaceful and law-abiding, 1t ould
seem that these guards to whom the
strikers object are more essential to
protect the strikers than the railway
property. II is well known fact.
that, In such times OF public excite
ment, no one knows when some ire
sponsible and half crazy l:natic may
take II upon himself to kin someone
or destroy property. The strilSvi )

Immediately charge such action 20 the
strikers and that no amount OF pro-

them TO not only withdraw their OBJ
Jections TO having guards employed

from the possibility OF having ire
