Light Eleven Wants Game Does anyone know anybody who knows Someone who knows where there is a 115-pound football team within a radius of 75 miles of Amarillo? If you do, please contact Ralph Dykemen of the Maverick Club. "We are trying to get games for our 115-pound eleven," said Dykeman; "we will play any eleven within 75 miles of Amarillo.

But we must insist that no player of the opposition weighs more than 115 pounds." Soose' Crown Marred In Unfinished Bout LOS ANGEL-ES, Sept. 16 champion Billy Soose prepared to head east today, his crown slightly on the tarnished side after one of the most vicious fights with the most unsatisfactory endings witnessed in Los Angeles in years. Handsome Billy's 12-round non- title fight with veteran Ceferino Garcia was stopped mid-way in the eighth round and called a draw because Soose's left eye was badly cut. From then on it was intense. A near riot almost ensued, Referee Abe Roth was almost mobbed as he left the ring, and today the State- Athletic Commission promised further action after dissenting with the referee's decision.

Tame Tigers To Defend Groom Title GROOM, Sept. 16 Groom High School will open their 1941 Six-man football season Thursday night against a veteran squad from Kelton. The game will be played at Fireman's Field, at Groom. Coach Butch Clark's defending champion Tigers face two-fold job this year, in that they stand undefeated in two seasons of play, and are facing that "third time is a axiom for their crown defense. According to latest reports, Groom's Tigers this season will be mostly of the "domesticated" variety, since the squad must operate without the services of seven regulars lost to graduation, and an average weight 20 pounds less than last year's aggregation which tipped the beam at 165 pounds.

Kelton has played and won two games already this year, and with a heavy and experienced squad, Coach George Gandy is shooting for top sectional honors. One of the giant trees in Yosemite National Park is estimated to be more than 3800 years old. action and MORE offensive action. Those who have seen the Golden Sandstorm gearing its offensive machinery during the past few (and there aren't many who have, due to "censorship" at the field), will tell you that it may have started slowly, but that now they are moving into high-gear. Get Coach's Nod Tuesday, the Sandies were put through their most strenuous paces by coach as they tried out their new attack formations against five, six and seven-man lines.

About the most convincing statement we can relay to you about how the offensive system is stacking up at this point is tnat Coach Lynch has given his nod of approval. You know what the Sandies have to do to earn that. The cry. "Beat Childress," still fills the air as the Sandies hit the field for practice each day; as they plow into the line; skirt the ends or go crashing down under thunderous tackles. Even such a long series of drills as took place yesterday, when the Sandstorm rolled up and down the field under the watchful eyes of Coach Lynch until nearl; 8 P.

did not daunt the soarinp spirit of the boys. In fact, if at all affected, it seemed to become more sincere. Statistically, we can't reveal the real story behind the new offensive maneuvers the Sandies will launch in behalf of this year's defense of their highly-coveted crown. Censorship, what with the grid wars less than a week away, is not unusual. But we can hint rather broadly, if you know the.

playing capabilities 'of The Sandstorm's ball-lug- gers, the answer shouldn't be far away. Unlike -the "famous general who wouldn't go into battle- unless he had so many reserves he hardly knew what to'do. Coach Lynch must take pattern from current activity the far side of the Atlantic Ocean. He must deliver the mail, rain or shine, with nothing much more than a front line of shock troops. Here is t'ae way these "Blitz-boys' probably will line-up Friday night, when the Bobcats come to call- Out at the end-posts will be Bill Jolly and E.

J. Watson; at the guards. Captain Barrel Collins and Thurman Tigart; tackle assignments will go to Jim Warner and Johnny Childs, and at the pivot- spot will be W. Clark. Three Generals In the pulse-positions, Gene Sutton and Irving Wall will operate from the halves, while LeRpy Boyter will handle, the chores at fullback.

And there we come to the only spot in the Sandies complex machinery at which more than two men are on a par. From Coach Lynch we have word that any one of three tailbacks may. get the nod opening night's signal-calling job. Those three 'are Johnny Price, Ray and- Gene Quattlebaum, all impressive field generals. From line-up it shouldn't be too hard to guess which way the Sandstorm will start blowing when the gun barks Friday night.

Can you guess it? Of the Bobcats, little can be said at the moment.

LOUIS, Sept.

Saint Louis Cardinals missed an opportunity to gain a full game on the Brooklyn Dodgers when they battled to a 1 to 1, 10-inning tie with the New York Giants. As it is, the Dodgers still lead by one and a half games. The game was called at the end of the 10th on account of darkness. It was the final game of the sea son between the two clubs, and unless it is ordered replayed the Cards can regard it as gone with the wind. Ernie White went after his 18th win of the year and held the Giants to 4 hits until the 9th.

Then Morrie Amovich singled and Billy Jurges doubled and Mickey Witek slashed out another hit to knock in the tying run. The Cards had scored their tally in the initial frame on a single by Johnny Hopp a walk to Terry Moore and another one-bagger by Estel Crabtree. of district two. and that they're I in for a trimming, sure.

Clark Shaughnessey's success with the formation in his first season at Stanford last fall gets credit for concentrating the attention of Valley mentors on offense.
