T. G.. u. Frogs
Facing Hard
Grid Card

Fort Worth, Aug. 28.-In spite Of
the fact that he h9s picked three,
possibly four, Of the seven South
west Conference teams to finish
ahead of r. c. u, Coach Dutch Meyer
hopes to pilot his 1910 Horned Frogs
to a first-division berth in the final
standings.
If the 1889 Frogs had scored only
.25 more points in the right spots
they would have won eight of their
10 games instead Of three. Coach
Meyer believes his 1910 boys will
produce the additional points. OF
course, the question mark is just how
well the Frogs can handle the power
of the other 1910 elevens.
The squad of GO which will report
at T. c. U. Sept. 5 will include
IA lettermen and some outstanding
sophomores. The starting lineup, on
a preseason rating by Coach Meyer,
will contain eight of these lettermcn,
two sophs and one squadman from
1889.
The two sophs are Derrell Palmer,
at tackle, and Bill Ramsey, at half
Palmer is rated by Line Coach Mike
BrumbeloW as the equal Of any
sophmore tackle the Frogs have ever
had Ramsey is poWerhouse back
who really pounded his way over
he field in spring practice.
The Frogs will pass just as much
n 1910 as they have in past years.
Principal passers will be Kyle Gil
lespie, Dean Bagley, Harmon High

Weakest spot, 50 far as reserves are
concerned, is center. The Frogs have
a tradition of great centers, and Capt

stand up with the best. However,
there are no experienced men be-
hind him. Coach Meyer believes
strongly in Billy Blackstone, l9o-
pound soph from Hearne, as Capt
Alexanders understudy.
What looks to be the starting ii

When the President of the United
States speaks at New Found Gap on
Labor Day to dedicate the Great
Smoky Mountains National Park,
roads on the Tennessee side will be
closed for some time both before
and after his address.
That will make the North Caro-
lima entrance to the park the "front
door,, so to speak, and the State
Highway Patrol is making every
possible arrangement for handling
large crowd without delay and con-
gestion.
From Ashevillc those who plan
to attend the exercises should take
U. S. Highway 10 to its junction with
N. c. 1O7 between Sylvia and Bryson
City. This comparatively new road
is one of the most scenic routes in
America. 1t leads through the Chero-
kee Indian reservation, up to New
Found Gap, from which spur of
about seven miles in length runs to
the Forney Ridge parking area, just
under the summit OF ClingmanS

Patrolmen will be stationed all
along the route to direct traffic.
From Asheville to New Found Gap
is 81 miles.

Mexico 10 Build
Oil Pipe Line

MEXICO CITY. July 19-tUP)-
The newspaper Excelsior said today
it had learned from reliable sources
that the Mexican government had
started negotiations with the Ray
mond Concrete Pile company of
New York to build an oil pipeline
across Tehuantepec Isthmus which
would facilitate delivery of petrol
cum to Pacific and Far Eastern
customers.
Tehuantepec Isthmus lies between
the Gully of Mexico and the Pacific.
1t was recalled that some time
ago Japan displayed interest in
such a pipeline and was reported
willing to finance its construction.
In any event, the building of such
a line would greatly expedite the
transportation of oil for export to
| Japan.
