I THE CORSICANA DAILY SUN, TUESDAY, 'JANUARY 8, 1939. iST. MARY'S GARS WEATHER LATE AERIAL BARRAGE BEAT RAIDERS TEXAS TECH FLIPS TOUCHDOWN PASSES TO NARROW MARGIN PACIFIC VISITORS HAD PILED UP BIG LEAD FIRST THREE PERIODS By FELIX K. BTKNIGHT DALLAS, Jan. Powerhouse St.

Mary's, a bunch of lads who could model in any iron foundry, rolled.back to California today with a Cotton Bowl triumph over Texas Tech and reverence for the pass-flinging tactics of the southwest. St. Mary's won the ball game all right, 120-13, but It had Hi doubts along with 40,000 fans In the final ten minutes when the West Texas Plainsmen opened up with a sky raid. Out In front, 20-0, with eleven minutes to go, St. Mary's gave up two touchdowns and shuddered through the possibility of a third' before the Techs finally gave up.

"Those passes!" sighed Coach Slip Madlgan after the game. 'It was a pleasure to play those boys all you can say we'll have a hell of a game out at San Francisco next season." "Outclassed until that final splash, Tech, with Gene (Bubbles) Barnett on the business end of the passes, started from their goal stripe. Burnett heaved 30 yards to George Webb, followed with two more short ones to Jodie Marok, and then rifled a screen pass to Elmer (the great) Tarbox, who danced 35 yards for a score. Raiders Open Up On their 35 four minutes later, Tech started again with Barnett heaving. He found Tarbox for 13 and Webb for 20 and then, on fourth down, gambled and shot n.

32-yarder to end E. J. McKnleht on the goal stripe. The third try was the most sen- national, Barnett passing 25 yards to George Webb, the big end srambering 45 more yards before ho was finally jerked down from hnhlnd by Jim Rlmassa. Webb had a seven-yard start on Rlmas- sa but looked back over his shoulder all the way down the field and finally saw Rlmassa snatch him.

The Gaels made a runaway of it for three periods, loosing their Ed (Hellzapoppln) Hef reman, Jim Rimnssa and Mike Klotovich on varied assortments of runs and passes that completely stunned the Texans. They pounced on Webb's fumble of a lateral pass on the Tech 33 to score in the first period. Heffernan, fast and big, ran wide on a fake sweep and passed to Quar- Mike Perrle on the nine and then chased across the score himself with a dash around right end. Perrle converted. Gaels Score Quickly.

Two skittering ends, Batetn- court and Champion, edged the ball down to the Tech 21 on a series of end around plays to set up the second score. Coach Mad- Igan hurried his erstwhile second stringers into the game and Klotovich, the heralded sophomore, jogged to the Tech five. He whirled across for the second touchdown from there and Marefos kicked the point. Tech's passing gavn St. Mary's the third counter.

Fullback Herbert Hoover Smith intercepting one of Bobby Holmes wild heaves on the Tech 23 just before the close of the third period and skipper for the score. No bigger figure stood out on the sunswcpt field than Dowd, the Gael pivot man. He dropped out of the line and gave a superb punting exhibition that included two of 73 and 63 yards and finally averaged up to 47.5 yards per boot. Don Budge Due to Learn Difference In Tennis Debut By GAYLE TALBOT NEW YORK, Jan. This is the night that Donald Budge comes of tennis age and learns that there Is a powerful lot of difference between the amateurs he has been slapping around for the last two years and Ellsworth Vines, for four seasons has ruled the world's professionals.

Budge and Vines meet In Madison Square Garden before what threatens to be a capacity audience of 17,000 spectators, and it should bo a blistering match, with Vines the probable winner for a variety of reasons. The most Important is that Ellsworth when "right" Is just about the greatest tennis player who ever lived. For Budge, the match Inaugurates a professional career that will pay him a flat $75,000 his first winter on the boards. Vines, whose racquet has made him financially Independent at 27, stands to put away another $30,000 before summer as he and Budge play one-night stands across the land, However they come out In the long run, this is the match they both want to win, and Is the one In which Vines will show the least mercy to his Inexperienced opponent. Budge Is inexperienced of course, only In that It Is his first big match on an Indoor court, with a great crowd banked close about and yelling like Co- manchos right through the rallies.

Budge doesn't believe It will bother him, but chances are that It will to some extent. He is accustomed to the oathetleral hush of Wimbledon and Forest TECH GIVES SUPPORTERS BRIEF THRILL REFERENDUM WILL BE HELD ON RULES LAID DOWN BY TIL WOULD PERMIT FOOTBALL TEAMS PLAYING IN ANY CLASSIFICATION "Right" to Title Bid Texas Technological college football team produced the first thrill in the New Year's Day Cotton Bowl classic at Dallas.

'U rears In Corsleana. lath Phone 1836 AUSTIN, Jan. The interscholastic league executive committee today submitted to member schools a referendum which if approved, would permit football teams In any classification to play in tho highest ranking AA conference by a unanimous vote of district members. Tho move by league officials was seen as an effort to counteract sharp criticism of a recent rc- classlflcatlon on an enrollment basis of schools which removed the Fort Worth Masonic Home and other teams from top-rank- Ing competition. Masonic Home's mighty mites, assigned on tho now basis to the class or third-ranking classification, fought their way into the semi-finals of tho state championship play offs last month.

As explained by Dr. T. H. Shelby, director, tho amendment, if carried, would not limit the present provision for admitting schools from tho next lower conference on throe-fourths vote of district committee but would further liberalize tho rules to permit admission by unanimous vote of a school' In any lower conference to any higher conference. Three other proposed amendments to existing rules submitted for a vote were prohibition of football practice between the close of the spring training period and Sept, 1 each year, close of the grid season on Dec.

1 to prevent schools from playing games other than regular play-off contests, and limiting spring training to one calendar month. Votes on the referendum, It was explained, must be returned to the leaue's Austin office by Jan. 16, algnd by either tho superlntendnt or principal of tho school.

OFFICIALS DISCLOSE COTTON BOWL GAME SANFORD PROJECT, OPPOSITION GAME POSSIBILITY DALLAS, Jan. possibility of Texas staging rival post-season football classics next year clouded the nation's already jumbled "bowl" scene today. Immediately after yesterday's Cotton bowl game, which drew some 40,000 fans, it became known that J.

Mr, Sanford has a lease on tho Cotton Bowl stadium that runs two more years, but there are other stadiums, Dallas will have a fine now high school stadium and there Is the possibility the game could be played in another city."

The association had posted a $20,000 minimum guarantee for St. Mary's of California for yesterday's game, Rogers said, and Sanford returned that sum when he split with tho association.

Sanford conducted the affairs of the game' during the Interim. Sanford admitted "there has been a misunderstanding with one of.two individuals, but I certainly have had no trouble with tho Southwest conference." Conference Refused Cut, Ho said had made a courtesy offer of five per cent of yester- day's not to the conference but that it had been declined because no conference school was represented in the game. The conference, at its mid-winter meeting recently, went on record as favoring negotiations that would lead to permanent alignment of the conference with the Cotton Bowl, possibly by next season. What effect the new developments would have on that decision was not known.
