Hoop Tournament
In City Saturday

With the wind blowing cold out OF
the north. bringing mint OF more
rain, strong possibility was seen here
Friday that the county basketball
tournament, scheduled TO get under
way here Saturday, would again be
postponed.
The courts were in excellent con
dition Friday morning. and barring
additional rain, the event will pro-
coed as scheduled, Frank Rubarth
coach of the local high school team,
and one of the county athletic d.
recto7s, said Friday morning. The
cold weather will have little bearing
on the play, he said.
Preparations for holding the tour
ney we're going ahead Friday re-
gardless of the threat in the weather,
and il was said the games would be
played il il was in any way possible.
The games are to begin at 3 a. m.
Girls ard boys teams from prae-
tically every high school team IN the
county are scheduled to come here
for the tourney. and II hoped 10
eliminate down 10 three teams dur
ing the first days play. The semi
final would then be run-off next Fri
day. and the final the following day;
The winner of this event would
then be eligible to compete with the
winners Of the Willacy ard Hidalgo
county tournaments for the district
title, and the holder of that will IN
all probability go to Austin for the
state meeting in March.

The gaps in the boxing card at

They were filled after a discussion,

He will box Snake O'Hare, who i.

There was considerable discussion
between the managers as to whether
O'Hare could come within a reason

but this was finally settled satisfac-

Ken Macy is also 10 appear in the

be evenly enough matched as TO

card. Those who saw Burns and John

SYSTEM TODAY
Ball Players Now Have
More Opportunities
Vet Says
Nv NORMAN 4. BROWN

There has been much discussion OF
recent year regarding the "ruina-
ton Of young ball players through
the high powered system of press
agenting and rushing theil into the
major leagues on the crest Of the
ballyhoo-without the proper train
ing for a big league job.
Many Of these highly-touted kid
stars-after a brief trial-are sent
back to the minors and accepted as
sbloomers' by many fans. No doubt
some Of them have been "brokei.s
by the system.
But there steps up to defend the
present system of handling ball
players a well-known player, who
worked his way into and through the
majors under the old school, and WHO
il watching the present system from
the managerial berth of a fast minor
league club.
Says he:
"Young ball players are getting
greater opportunities now than ever
before.
Not only in breaking into the
major leagues. but in intensive train
ing before and after they break in.
"For one thing, the coaching angle
Of developing a major league club
has been systematized. Years ago
the manager tried the individual
school of the youngsters in addition

Of the team, its play on the field,
and the disposition Of the surplus
material.
"Now major league clubs larry at
least two coaches-one for the pitch
ers and one for the infielders and
general coaching work. The manager
il free to devote himself to perfect
ing the team play and studying the
work of the men in the games.
THE coaches have time to work
with the youngsters individually, cor
rect their weaknesses. and teach
them the fine points of major leagnt
ball.
Good young baseball players o.
