of perplexing problems, in the main

eligibility of certain star football play.
ers, Roy Henderson, athletic director
of the Texas University Interscholas.
tic League, is hopeful for the future
of high school football in the state.
During the rs season close to TWEEN
ty schools were eliminated because OF
failure to comply with league regula-
tons.
81 believe in the future a coach
will take care to ascertain whether or
not man is eligible before playing
him in a game" Mr.. Henderson said.
"Mofe than one school has learned to
its sorrow this season that the league
rules are going to be enforced to the
best of our ability.
HOPEFUL OF FUTURE.
"Despite the unprecedented number
of protests, and the i'll feeling that
has been engendered, I am hopeful for
the future. All that is needed is for
every school and every coach to shoot
fair with the league and with their
opponents.
The task of conducting a cham
pionship in a state as large as Texas
is tremendous, and can only be car
ried out successfully, if all concerned
cooperate to the limit"
More than 300 schools entered the
race for the 1925 championship. The
race was conceded to be the most bril-
liant and hard fought in history OF
the league.
RULE OUT STRONG TEAM.
Ruling ineligible, of Caraway of
Sherman High School and Captain
Sam Balliew of Beaumont High School
attracted more attention than elimina-
ton of any other players. The league
found Caraway TO be 81 years old
Ruling Of the Sherman back ineligible
threw out of the race a team conceded
to be one of the strongest in the
state. Sherman is coached by Hugh
Butler, former Baylor player.
Beaumont was eliminated after
reaching the finals by beating Waco.
The league found that Balliew had
competed at Georgetown in 1921, 1922
and 1928 and at Beaumont in 1924,
and was ineligible, under the four
year rule. The automatic elimination
of Beaumont was a hard blow to hun
