(Katzie) Kilgore of Breckenridge an,
Phillip (Spitz) Clarke of Main, hav
sized I'D their prospective material
looked over the possible schedule an'
the situation in general and have de
cided the outlook is pretty bright from
any angle.
"Spitz" Clarke, who has moved Il
town for the season from the Alpine
Tex. sheep ranch and golf course, ha!
set the first dag of school, September
10, as The afternoon fc- the initia
Red-and-White get-t,gether.
Kilgore has decided to call his
squad together for the first time OF
; Tuesday afternoon, September IL.
Among the veterans who will answer
Clarke's call, and on whom he is de-
pending, are Ketchum, West, Dwyel
and Peacock, ends; Cox and Connol'
", tackles; Yantis and Dunsmore
guards; Brotze, center, Armer, Jordt
and Sinner, backs. From these men
and others, new to tie squad, such
as McDougal, a crack basket ball
player who will try out for guard
Clarke believes he has as strong a
team as last year without any lucky
Strengthening acquisitions. He is talk
ing now OF developing q new center
to take Brotze's place and shifting
the star center to era, which will
relieve either Ketchum or West, or
both, for backfieid duty in the event
of n scarcity of candidates for the
ball-carrying jobs.
h Armer and Cox Should Star.
Captain Buddy" Armer is expected
TO scintillate at quarterback this year.
He has been working in the wheat
fields and reports himself in great
shape. Cox, bulwark in the line last
fall. has taken on some weight while
attending summer school and now tips
the beam at 166 pounds.
With Guy Morrison the San An
tonic baseball pitcher, experienced
coach and high school teacher, as ath-
letic director at Main High, Clarke
hopes 20 develop two .eams, placing
the second eleven in Morrison's hands
so that he may devote his entire time
10 the regulars.
At Breckenridge, Kilgore will not
have a great many of his 1922 reg
ulars back but he will have those
that count most, the best schooboy
quarterback in the city. and a CLASSY
center. "Pinkey" Whitney will play
quarterback for the South Siders for
The fourth season. his last with the
team, and his coach fully expects
him to show proportionately as much
improvement this year over last q:
he did last over the season before
Whitney is heavier but in good shape
since he has been playing fast brand
of summer baseball.
"Stomp" Urban, husky center. will
be on the job again. Kiigore has g
report that a center who had ex'
perience on the Waco High eleven
will enter school. If he does and
shows the stuff. the coach may move
Urban into the backfield to help
Whitney pack the ball.
Count on Ex-Vildcats.
Other stars who will return include
Carver, tackle, who since last fall
has made himself a name as all-state
basket ball guard and good baseball
catcher; "Red" Havis and Shorty
McCarty. active ends, and Nickles, an
extremely promising guard. Then the
wildcats" as the scrubs were called
last fall, will graduate an unusually
large number of youngsters who
showed promise in mol skins in 1922.
The "Wildcats" will be continued
this fall. under the tutelage, probably
of Bobby" Cannon, tie rev faculty
director Of athletics, wb coached Del
Rio Highs eleven last autumn.
Reports that the Cuero and Vic
foria high schools will have strong
teams this year Lave pr, mpted both
Kilgore and Clarke to tentatively
place games with these schools on
their schedules. NeitLer coach has
actually booked any games yet. Clarke,
however. has prepared his challenges
in the district number fifteen elimi-
nations in the state inter-scholas:ic
league as follows, with the probability
that the games will be arranged as
indicated:
October 5, Floresville High at San
Antonio.
October -, Beeville High at Bee
willie.
October 10, Victoria High at San
Antonio.
October 20, Cuero High at San An.

Therefore, Mains schedule will de-
pend upon the outcome of the Breck-
enridge contest. If Main should win.
jnter-district competition arranged
Through the state leagr will be start
ed; if not, the following dates will
be asked of the schools involved +:
November II, Corpus Christi at Cor
pus; November "a, Central High OF
Houston here; November 20, Austin
High at Austin.
Clarke has picked Floresville tc
start with because that team gave his
outfit a tough tussle here last year
and the Main coach does not want tC
start with any soft propositions anC
spoil his boys, he says.
kilgOre has not figured out hi,
probable dates as yet, although, since
Main High plays almost all its game,
on Fridays, Breckenridge will us,
mostly Saturdays.
kilgore is extremely anxious Il
maintain the high stsndard of foot
ball at Brackenridg that has OBJ
tanned while he has b-en coach.
"This is probably my last yea
with the high school," he said Satur
day, ''and 1 want to i've it team
