pre-Christmas holiday engage
ments.
With Brodgen taking over the
reins again, the Locals two sick
aces, Johnny McKoy and w. A.
Brown, also returned to the gym
to get in the workouts. Hacksaw
futile and Tinkey Rogers, who
have looked so good In this two
some's absences, dropped back on
the second team. but still were
fighting for a starting role.
Billy Harrison, stellar guard, al
so got back in action after short
stay in sick bed and showed up
well on his long set shots.
The outstanding play of Louis
Collie and Teddy Fennen also stood
out in all the drills as the duo
perfected their difficult Grip shots,
and practiced relentlessly on the
long set flips.
The blackboard was also set up
and Brodgen taught the lads new
plays and other strategy by way
of diagram. During these long talks,
the ace mentor told Billy Lee the
good news that he was a sure first
stringer and also praised his fine
play during the past several weeks.
Team manager Hank Truelove
announced that the Cats will
tangle with the Shipyard five to-
night at $3.50 o'clock in a practice
game.
The Wildcats defeated this quin-
tet earlier in the season SO to 80

Cotton Bo1ul Competition
Offered By Houston Game

DALLAS, Dec. 10-R- 1t is gen
orally agreed that the Hedging
Oil Bowl at Houston came up with
a choice attraction in matching
Tulsa and Georgia but if that's
competition for Dallas Cotton
Bowl it isn't showing up at the box
office.
p, c. Cobb, veteran ticket man

seats left in the Cotton Bowl and
wouldn't be unless some were re-
turned by either Texas or Mis-
souri,, competing teams in the
Jan. gridiron classic.
This means 45,507 will see the
game and it will be the second
sell-out in the ten-year history OF
the event. The other sell-out was

M. and Fordham.
But despite the fact that the
Cotton Bowl is certain to be sell

ball champion to the Dallas game,
appears to look upon the Oil Bowl
as competition.

athletic association" read a re-
solution passed by the committee.
'"The conference is committed
to support Of the Cotton Bowl
game" This was taken to mean
the conference would not grant
permission to any member to play
in the Oil Bowl-not even Rice al
though the Oil Bowl is using its
field.
Rice has only a one-year agree
ment with the Oil Bowl thus far.
The plan announced was that pro-
ceeds from the game would be
used to give Houston stadium
