Daily Sun. Nov. 28, 1960 Interscholastic League Receives New Look In Contest Revisions AUSTIN Intel-scholastic League contests will have a new look from now on. Recent action by the legislative council of the league dropped four statewide contests, added four others, and made changes in other contests. The council also approved on an experimental basis, an invitational stnte final solo contest in instrumental and vocal music.

The contest will be conducted here in June by the University of Texas Fine Arts Department. Four Dropped The four contests discarded were junior declamation, senior declamation, original oration and poetry reading. They will be replaced beginning in the 1961-62 year with prose reading, poetry interpretation and persuasive speaking. Declamation has been one of the league contests since 1910. The fourth contest added was the science contest which will be included in the 1961 spring meet competitions.

The. council voted to limit boys' basketball teams to two matched Raines per week including conference, non-conference and play-off games. There presently is no such limiting rule for boys, although girls' tennis have been limited to two games week for years. Another rule ohnnRo prohibits Invitational hoys' and girls' basketball tournaments on Monday, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, except during school holiday season. Both basketball rule changes are effective next year.

He has extensive oil holdings; owns several Insurance companies; is the largest single stockholder of Branlff Airways; owns two ranches; and owns at least one shopping center and a bank.

Blakley was a virtual unknown except In financial circles when he was appointed senator In 1957. Even his political affiliation was unknown. Later he declared himself a conservative Democrat. Nearly 18 months ago he suffered a massive heart attack, but recovered to lead a normal life. 19 In 1957 Race Nineteen candidates entered the 1957 special senate election won by Yarborough.

Only six were active, major contenders. In the 1958 Democratic primary, Yarborough beat Blakley 757,031 to 531,531. U.S. Rep. Jim Weight, liberal Fort Worth Democrat, was the only formally announced candidate for the Senate scat until Blakley's announcement today.

While Yarborough won in the only recent senate special election in a high man takes all election, a runoff now is required unless one candidate obtains a majority over the rest of the field. The Legislature The council redefined the term "credit" in determining eligibility to take part in the contests', both scholastic and athletic. The present rule requires a student to earn three one-half credits each semester to retain eligibility.

However, as Pevehouse said in an answer to the suit which was filed Monday morning and which he read the court, the decision was when it was discovered that the Southland bid had brought bitter foretaste of winter to parts of the midwest today.

Shivers had boon mentioned as a possible candidate for the post, n.s well as John Towor, the republican who ran strong against Johnson Nov.

Pevehouse explained to the court that Blackwell and Sneth- cn had been delegated the authority to "accept the bid most advantageous to the city" by the City Commission. At the conclusion of the hear- ng, McKie stated that he was aware that the plaintiff could not force the city to accept the bid of Occidental, but he ob- ected to the legality of and Snethen being delegated the authority to chose the bid themselves. He said that in its opinion, only the City Commission as a whole could make such a decision.

Altogether 19 explosions were counted throughout the city and its suburbs as Castro's opposition staged its biggest noise bombing since Castro gained power almost two years ago.

Sporadic bombings have become an almost nightly occurrence in Havana. Castro was as caustic as usual in his criticism of the United States. But he appeared to open the door slightly for an conciliation move by Kennedy, although he indicated Cuba would not take the initiative in any fence mending. 'We will get together and map our sugar policy and then we will see what they will do," Castro said, referring to the new administration in Washington. During the U.S.

It was pointed out that not all champion livestock were crowned by the president and former owners here signaled this a great honor. The second animal to win honors was Burke's Dutchilar Mansolo II, which was selected as the reserve grand champion imported bull at the same exposition. Burke's Lady Dutchilar Junior 336-6 won first in her class. It was pointed out that all three livestock went to Mexico immediately after the close of the State Fair in Dallas in late October.

Pevehouse also contended that: The plaintiff had no right to bring the action because before an individual taxpayer can bring a suit against a city he has to show that he sustained Injury. The suit is premature because "the city has done nothing rorig." The city has the right to reject any and all bids. In the course of his argu ment, McKle said he felt the citizens of Corsicana had the right to know why a low bid is not accepted. At the onset McKie had requested that, the evidence be heard, that witness- be put on the stand.
