Will Great Field
In Texas Open
Beat Record 2Y?

With probably the greatest
field OF golf stars coming here
this year in the five years
history OF the Texas Open
championship, the tournament
record Of 279 for ~ holes, shared
jointly by Walter Hagen, Bill
MehlhOrn and Joe Kirkwood, is
likely to be broken.
Bob Mcdonald. with 2Sf, won
the first Texas Open, in 1922,
with Cyril Walker a stroke be-
hind. In 1928, Hagen and Mehl-
horn tied with 27s, and Hagen
won the playoff with a II to
Hagen's ~. The next year,
Kirkwood came through with an
easy win, his 278 being seven
strokes better than the scores
Of George kerrigan and Jim
0ckenden, tied for second.
Last winter, Joe Turnesa won
with 2S4, one stroke ahead Of
Macdonald Smith, who, in turn
was a stroke better than John
Golden and Jack Burke.

The only touchdown of the game
was made in the fourth quarter by
Mcbride, former Syracuse player,
after Ernie Movers, Stanford Univer-
sity star, playing his second game
as a "pro." had been forced from the
lineup by injuries.
White, of Oklahoma, made the
point after touchdown.
Reports that Nevers had received
a serious injury in the game were
denied by his friends Saturday night,
although they admitted the coast star
was suffering from a badly bruised
muscle in his back.
A doctor was working on Movers
for a few hours after the game, but

At least one major golf tournament
in the United States owes its incep'
ton to the fact that San Antonio
citizens produced a $4,000 purse five
years ago and inaugurated the Tex
as Open.
It is the Missouri Open Champion
ship, held annually at the st. Louis
Country Club. Bill Mehlhorn tells
how it came about.
Bill, the bowlegged winner of the
recent Long Beach Open, was sitting
in his clubhouse at st. Louis one
day, conversing with Johnny Man
ion, another nationally known golfer.
Johnny" said Bill, "how about
getting up a tournament here for our
fellow pros in the state. Each of

to pass the time away"
every good idea, Bill" said Johnny,
"but it would just be money out of
our pockets. You would win it hand
running
We'll, then came back Bill, lets
get up q real tournament, with real
purse like the Texas Open. Well
get all the pros in the state to sell
tickets and raise $6000."
And thus it came about. Every
professional in Missouri sold his
quota of tickets, $4,000 was raised,
and the Missouri Open became an an
nual fixture.
The Texas Open furnished the in

it was stated be would be able to
play again next week.
Nevers was the mainstay Of the
all-stars until forced from the game
in the last half. The play see-sawed
back and forth most of the game with
few gains by either side. Reese
formerly of Washington and Jeffer-
son, made a long run for the all
stars in the last quarter.
Movers and White, former Okla
homa players, had a punting duel in
the first half with honors about
even. Several forward pass attempts
of Movers were grounded.
A strong offensive by the Giants
in the first period almost gave them
a touchdown, but Nevers' team braced
and prevented a score.
Nevers was injured in the first half
when a savage tackle almost knocked
him out. The Giants were penalized
for roughness on the play.

BIG LEAGUERS FAIL
TO AGREE ON DATES
FOR COMING SEASON

NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-For the
first time in history. the American
and National Baseball leagues failed
to agree on schedule dates within
their annual three-day period of joint
schedule-making. The session was ad-
journed indefinitely Saturday with
nothing done about the opening and
closing of the 1926 seasons of the two
leagues.
No reasons were offered for the dis
agreement, although it was pointed out
that Commissioner Lands recently
recommended that the closing dates of
the big leagues be advanced a week to
keep the world series out of the cold,
rainy weather of mid-October.

St. Mary's Cuts Some De-
fensive Capers in Bas-
ket Ball Bow.

Taking the Deaf Mutes of Austin
by surprise with their swift offense,
and fighting them to a standstill with
beautifully organized five-man de-
Tense, the st. Mary's Rattlers won
the opening game of the basket ball
schedule, 80 TO %, on Turner Hall
court Saturday night. ST. Mary's shot
into the lead early in the second quar-
ter and were never in danger there
after.
Coach O'Donnell put a first-string
five on the court, every man of whom
lowered around the six-foot mark,
while the Dummies, with the exception
OF their crack center, Dunagan, were
unusually small. As a result, the Rat
tiers were able to play over the heads
of their opponents.
DEFENSE WORKS.
The five-man defense has been used
for several years by most of the col
lege and high school teams in the state
but it remained for the Rattlers to
demonstrate exactly how it should be
done. For the first three quarters the
Dummies seldom got shot from near
er than the center OF the court. The
Texas academic champions made prac-
tically all Of their goals on Is and
20-foOt shots.
Dunagan, with a remarkable eye for
the basket, accounted for nineteen OF
the Dummies points and was easily
the outstanding player on the court.
Captain Rudolph played a demon de
fensive game against the towering Rat
tier forwards.
Nobody on the Rather squad, ex-
cept Carver could get his eye on the
bask et during the first quarter, the
period ending with the Dummies in
the lead, 6 to 3. In the second period
however. English and Harm began
dropping them in. and at the bali the
count stood Rattlers II, Dummies q.
THREATEN IN THIRD.
With Dunagan leading their attack,
The Dummies came back with a ven
seance during the third quarter, scor-
ing six field goals and threatening to
overtake the Rattlers' lead. The score
stood "a to Is in favor of st. Mary
when the last period opened.
English, with u points, proved the
leading point-getter for the Rattlers.
Dick Harm accounted for nine points.
The work of ,Brotze featured on the
defense, although both Votavs and
Captain Carver played bang-up games.
