RObST0WN MAY
GET BACK
IN RACE

ROBSTOWN. Tex, Dec. 21.-Robs-
town High School, eliminated from the
state interscbolastic league football
race by Beaumont High in a terrific
struggle, 20, may yet become Texas
hi"h school champions.
Robstown football players and fans
are watching closely today the efforts
of Waco High School, also defeated by
Beaumont, to have the Beaumonters
ruled out on the grounds that Captain
Sam Ballicw has played four years of
high school football.
IL Beaumont is ruled out. Robstown
and Waco will come back into the
fray, with Cisco and Forest Avenue OF
Dallas, the two teams now remaining
with Beaumont.
From Austin comes word that
large Waco committee is trying to
persuade Roy 3. Henderson and Other
league officials that Sam Balliew OF
Beaumont played with Georgetown
high four years ago, making him in
eligible at Beaumont this season.
Coach Tyson of Waco thinks he has n
clearcut case, but Lulburn Dimmitt.
who coached Georgetown in 1921, and
is now coach at South Park College.
Beaumont, says Balliew did not play
except as a substitute in one game
against non-high school eleven. and
therefore, that year cannot be count
ed in his record.
A decision is expected before Tues
day.
