MATHES AS MANAGER
TICKLES HOUSTON'S
BASEBALL FOLLOWERS

HOUSTON, Jan. Joe Mathcs
as manager-assured when Joe ac-
cepted terms at his Des Moines home
Saturday-Fred Ankenman as club
president and Samuel Breadon and
Branch Hickey of the st. Louis
Cardinals as principal stockholders
look like the makings of an era of
baseball prosperity to Houston Buff
falo fandom.
Mathes' managerial ability is re-
garded highly here, as well ms in
other minor league cities. Last year
he took a worn-out Des Moines club
and Unanswered it into a Western
League championship. He refused the
pleas of the Des Moines owners TO
stay in 1926 and took the Houston
clubs terms, wanting TO return TO
Texas. He was with Dallas in 1928
and for three years before that was
with Beaumont.

concerned.
Not content with having
humbled the proud Steers in
their first game two nights ago, they
added insult to injury by taking an
other fall out of the state university
team Saturday night. The score was
% TO %.
The Lobos' margin Of victory was
foul goal by Adams and field goal
by Ford, both shot in the last minute
of play. Joe King, former Oak Cliff
high star. had tied it for the Long
horns at 22-all by successfully tossing
two foul goals with less than two
minutes TO play.
BIG CROWD SEES 1T
Saturday nights contest, witnessed
by a wildly partisan crowd which
taxed the capacity of the local Y. Nj.
G. A. gym" was n thriller from
start to finish. The count was either
deadocked or Sui Ross was two or
three points in the lead throughout
the 40 minutes of play. The Long
horns were never able TO take the
lead.
Ever since Coach Graves brought
his Lobos TO San Antonio to work
out during the holidays, T. has been
suspected that he had a great center
in Ford. This suspicion became a
reality Saturday night. Ford would
have little trouble making any college
team in the state. Kell and Town
send, the two crack Lobo forwards,
also are just about as "slick" as they
make them.
Coach Stewart of the Longhorns,
with four former all-state high school
players on his squad, has the markings

FIST FIGHT IN LINE
In the last period a series of fist
fights, one between Herb Stein of
Pittsburg and Mcmillan, of Illinois,
linemen. and the others between fans
and policemen almost broke up the
game. Stein charged Mcmillan had
foulcd him.
Nevers had an edge on Britton in
the punting duel. Several times the
coast star kicked the ball for dis
tances of more than 60 yards.
Rcd Barron, of Georgia Tech. and
j. Sternaman. of Illinois. were two
other outstanding players. Barron did
most of the ground-gaining for the
All-Stars, at one time clipping off
3J-yard run.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Jan. .
Harold 'Red" Grange did his usual
stuff when his Chicago Bears trampled
all over the Jacksonville All-Stars to
the tune of 10 to 6, here this after
noon.
The red-head came out of the game
unscathed and still n hero. but an
other great player, Ernie Nevers, of
Stanford, playing for the All-Stars
in his first professional football game,
walked slowly from the field after
one of the most disappointing per-
formances of his career.
Nevers made four fumbles which
cost his team ground, his second
tumble being scooped up by Erickson,
former Washington and jefferson
player, for a touchdown.
MAKES ONLY SCORE
Ncvers partly redeemed himself in
the last quarter when he crashed
through for the only touchdown his
team could make, after one of his
long passes had put the ball within
scoring distance.

HIGH LEAGUE.
CHANGES
COMING

AUSTIN, Jan. 2.-Competition for
the state. high school gridiron cham
pionship should be abandoned, if some
means cannot be devised for shorten
ing the season and preventing some
teams from playing too heavy sched-
ules, Roy Bedichek, chief of the Inter
scholastic League of the Texas Uni
versity extension bureau, declared Sat
urday. He said, however, he be
lieved a better plan than the one now
in force could be worked out.
''The fact that football is the only
paying sport is largely responsible for
its evils" Mr.. Bedichek said. above
all, some means must be found TO pre-
vent high school football from falling
into the hands of groups of men in
terestcd primarily in advertising the
town, in making money, or in hay
ing interesting games to bet on"
Mr.. Bedichek does not believe that
small schools should be pitted against
large schools.
TOO MANY DISPUTES
Under the present system, the ex-
ecutive committee of the league,
which is composed of university facul-
ty members, settles all disputes, and
this season the committee was called
upon to settle an unprecedented num-
Der of disputes which ultimately re-
suited in the elimination of Sherman
and Beaumont, two Of the strongest
teams in the league, among others.
IF state championship cannot
be decided without unduly prolonging
the season and without compelling
some teams to play an. excessive num-
Der of games, it should be discon-
tinued," he said. ''If the season is
shortened, let us by all means cut off
the first of the season and not the
asst. We have no football weather in
Texas until October Is. and our foot
ball weather is between Thanksgiving
and Christmas.
SOME COMMERCIALISM
"The charge that high school foot
ball in Texas has been commercialized
is not without foundation" added
Bedichek. "The public interest in the
sport has presented a temptation so
great that many schools have been
unable to resist. The fact that many
school boards, as rule, will not APP
propriate money for carrying on inter
school athletic activities has driven
school executives to use football. which
is the only sport that can be made. to
pay, for financing not only other
forms of athletics but other extra
curricular activities as well. Colleges
have done this thing so long 1T IS
taken as n matter of course, and high
schools take their cue in such matters
largely from colleges.
Certain proposed changes in the
league plan will be recommended by
the league.
