Charles Larson of Culver-Stockton college in Missouri continued to lold third place among the sectional leaders although his 87 point total was surpassed by several unsuccessful candidates for Hunt's eastern crown.

The newcomers to the list in the final week were Ben Collins of West Texas State, whose 80 points put him ahead of Thurman Jones of Abilene Christian in the Texas conference, and Bob Brumley of Rice, who scored all his team's 21 points against Baylor and thus took the Southwest conference lead away from big John Kimbrough of the Texas Aggies.

This is not from the angle of hav- ng played the most games but in having the best average. Texas schools played 28 intersectional games this year and finished with the handsome percentage of .750. This despite the fact that schools of this state are observing an 18- year age limit and not another state In America has one that low. Texas schools won 18, lost 6 and tied 4 for the season. Not another state held a margin.

The nearest was Louisiana which brcke even with three victories and three defeats. Oklahoma, Arkansas and Arizona failed to win a single game. New Mexico won three but lost six and tied three. Mexico got a tie in its only game against a Texas team. There will be no more intersectional games this season.

Interscholastic league rules prohibit them after Thanksgiving. The year's record: W. Texas 18 Louisiana 3 New Mexico 3 Arizona 0 Arkansas 0 Mexico 0 Oklahoma 0 L. 6 3 6 2 1 0 6 Connecticut is the only state in the union in which no state bird hai been designated, officially or otherwise. The average American family dropped from 5.6 members in 1850 to 4.1 members in 1930.
