"I've sparred with Just about everybody in town, and this Broyles hits harder than anybody," said Jackie. A LITTLE later, Broyles coach, Charley Morgan, said he didn't have enough experience to compete in the Open Division of the Midstate Tournament, but he would be entered as a novice.

Today the ex-Cohn High football star who place-kicked his way to fame at Georgia Tech, is a member of the Dallas Texans, of the American Football League.

"They were the first to ask me," Tommy explained simply via long distance telephone yesterday when asked why he had picked a member of the one-year-old AFL instead of joining the more stable National Football League. Although it was announced only yesterday that Tommy has signed with the Texans, he actually agreed to terms during the Christmas holidays. "THEY CALLED me up one week and asked if I was interested," he said. "The next week they were down here and I signed the contract, "They offered me more than I had expected, told me I would be used primarily as a place-kicker, and agreed to get me a job in the off season. 1 thought that was enough, so I didn't even ask for a bonus." Wells never kicked a football through the goal posts until he was a sophomore at Tech.

After that he scored 71 points in three varsity years, hitting 14 field, goals and 39 extra points. He did not score a touchdown. In fact, all his play, except for kicking, was on defense. Last year, as a senior, Wells hit eight field goals and added 15 of 16 extra kicks, scoring 39 points. His longest successful boot was for 47 yards against Alabama.

IN GRABBING the first offer of a professional career, Wells was, for the second time, taking full advantage of an opportunity. The first came in the spring preceding his sophomore year when he decided he could escape Tech's red-shirt team by proving himself as a kicker. "At Cohn I had kicked off, but we always ran for extra points," Tommy remembered yesterday. "I wasn't sure, but I figured I was a better place-kicker than the other fellows we had here at Tech that spring. "One afternoon I asked Coach Dodd to let me work with the kickers.

He did and I made the team." WELLS 'SAYS he plans to play professional football "just as long as they'll let me and as New Policy Wins At Santa Anita ARCADIA, Calif.

DIRECTORS OF the circuit authorized Dewey Soriano, president, to present the idea to baseball's rational rules committee. If not approved for all of organized ball, the Pacific Coast League will give the idea a trial this year if the committee permits.

"We would like it made optional with the manager before each game as to whether his pitcher takes his turn at bat," Soriano said. "If not, some other player would be named to hit for the pitcher, becoming a regular member of the lineup. "This would be the first major change in baseball in 60 years," Soriano said. "We believe it would be good for the game." ALSO TO BE suggested to the rules committee is elimination of pitching when a man is to be intentionally walked. The defensive manager merely would signal for the walk and the batter would go to first base immediately.

In the semifinals match, Spencer lost a decision to Otis Thomas who went on to win the title. In this same tournament a young Detroit light heavyweight gained the national spotlight for the first time by winning the title. His name was Joe Louis.

IN HIS FINAL Golden Gloves tourney, in 1937, Spencer gained the Southern finals only to lose to Knoxville's Ed Molinski. After he ended his active ring career, Spencer became coach at TPS, where he hat handled the Bronco Buster rlngmert for all but five years. Those years were spent In the war In Europe where Larkie was a sergeant in Uncle Sam's Army. Larkie has served more than 30 years at the Murfreesboro Road school. Since his return from the army he has been the school barber.

During his time (while not barbcrlng or coaching boxing) Larkie never ceases to aid the TPS students. He is always on call to help a student, whether the problem is a broken baseball bat or hurt feelings, THE WARM FEELING and admiration toward Spencer is not only confined to the boxers and students of TP3. Last winter he was awarded the first annual Hanner Waldrip plaque for- his outstanding work and sportsmanship during the Midstate meet. The honor from the tourney judges and officials was a near unanimous win for Larkie. In the last few years the Butters' showing In the Midstate Open division hat been below par, but not their over-all showing.
