History records that the turned to the stands and announced to the press and public: "Mashie now hitting for exercise!" Most nervous bnll player we ever saw is Ted Norbert, who is spending the twilight of his career in the Coast league. Ted must be the worst hitchty- koo in baseball. Once he plants himself in the batter's box, he paces like a panther, paws the earth like a mule, twists the hickory in his fists until you'd think he's trying to wear it in two. Apparently his nervousness is The opposing pitcher will usually lidget in the box as if he's being given the third degree. Out in the gardens, the outfielders begin to move about uncertainly, giving the impression that they are having a bead drawn on them by sonic unseen sniper.

Ted warrants such concentration tho. He can power the pill a mile and usually has his dauber down when the blue chips are showing. It's like old times in the 1VT- NM league, what with the old NM Icaffuc, what with the aged Hack Miller back in the saddle at Lubbock. Before the circuit did the El Fordo three or four years ago, Faulkner wore the think cap (or the Hubbers and Miller clowned his way about the field as playing manager. Miller had a putty arm.

As a slugger, he was famous for the line drives he'd hit to the catcher and he ran as if he were encumbered by a ball and chain. But he was colorful, and perhaps better liked around the circuit than in his own ball orchard. Billy Casey and Tommy Clinkscales, the high school footballers who completed their eligibility last season, are awaiting service calls. Both have just turned 18.

Room 1 Settles Hotel Remember, every man in the county, of ig urged to attend. BIG SPRING ATHLETIC ASS'N. DALLAS, Dec. 10 Four freshmen battled their way to places on the 1945 All- Southwest conference football team selected by the Associated Pi-ess through the assistance of coaches and scouts. With so many veteran athletes returning from the service, this was supposed to be different from the war period when first-year men pretty well dominated the team.

But no so. Doak Walker, for instance got back from the service with only five games remaining on Southern. Methodist's schedule But he threw on a uniform and from his first college game on was the outstanding back of the conference. Dick Harris, tall freshman at Texas, never turned in a mediocre performance. Always he was the defensive star.

He won the center job on the all-conference walk. N. Rice first-year man, wasn't even mentioned-- in the pre-season prospectus. But he played.such a. fine game he edged out veterans like Norman Merrill of Texas Christian and Richard Johnson of Baylor.

In fact, he received tie most votes of any guard. The other freshman making tht team was Rob Goode, Texas A and great runner, punter, pass-receiver and the conference's high-scorer with 66 points, Champion Texas placed three men on the first eleven and so did runner up Southern Methodist and Texas A. and which finished in a tie for third with Rice and Texas Christian. Rice broke In with two men on the all-star aggregation. All-America Hubert Bechtol of Texas and Gene Wilson, mightly pass-catcher and defensive man for Southern Methodist, were so far in front for the end posts there was no race.

Giant Tom Dean of Southern Methodist was a unanimous choice for one tackle post, Monte Moncrief and Leonard Dickey, Texas A. and tackles, baltled-for the other forward post with Moncrief barely nosing out his teammate. Pairing with Nicholson at guard was Grant Darnell, defensive Jewell of A. and M. In the backfield it was Bobby Oayne, who passed and ran Texas the championship although he, joined the team in mid-season; Bob Nemir, heart and soul of Rice's offense and defense until called up by the Navy late in the season, and the freshman, Walker and Goode.

The Wichita Falls- Odessa tilt starts a 2 p. the other three at 2:30. As the battle for the state championship moved into the final three weeks, Highland Park and Waco were favorites to push their way into the title game. The Scotties were expected to hurdle North Side without serious trouble despite the Fort Worth team's rather easy 18-0 victory over Crozier Tech of Dallas In a jarring upset last week. Highland Park showed power aplenty in crushing unbeaten, untied.

Paris, 33-7. Wichita Falli should hart much stronger competition from Odessa than Highland Pirk will encounter In North Side. Odessa, not bettered harlnr a line strong; enough to combat the bulky Wichita Falls forward wall, can, however, offer one of the best offenses In state and in J. W. Thompson, of the greatest backs ever to come along in high school football.

Marshall could upset Waco and occasion no great surprise.

However, Waco, which outplayed yet lost to Highland Park, 7-0, also has improved immeasurably. The Goose Creek Jefferson game should be one of the wide open offensive games of the year.

Between them these teams have lost five games but both were late arrivals In football form. In recent weeks each has looked as good as raoit anything- in the state. Goose Creek, however, must rate a slight edge in view of the fact that the Ganders beat the Jeffs 20-7 in early season. There are direct comparisons in all except one game. For instance, Wichita Falls last week beat Amarlllo 28-7 in the opening round of the state playoff.

Odessa defeated Amarillo 2013 in mid-season. There is no way to compare Highland Park and North Side except that both played Sherman, North Side winning 13-0 and Highland Park 45-8.
