Layne, Harris Make UP All-Conference By CLAUDE RAMSEY HOUSTON, Dec. 5. (UP) Here is the team that Southwest fans believe could stoy Army.

It'll never play the Cadets though because this is United Press' mythical 1946 all Southwest Conference team. It's got power and punch, offensively and defensively. Its passer is big blond Bobby Layne, the people's choice who was named on every ballot from Southwest coaches and selected sports editors. Layne probably would -have been an all American if his Texas team hadn't been so unfortunate in its encounters with Rice and Texas Christian. In the backfield with Layne is Clyde Scott, the Smackover, player who returned to Arkansas because of a pretty coed and help- frl null 1hm Prrlrr frnm thA rfWar I season.

Layne polled 38 votes, the limit: Scott got 35; and Rice's ground gainer, Carl Russ. who doesn't give a hang for passers, received 33. Except for Huey Keeney, Rice halfback, all other first team players built up a substantial margin over second team players. Crazy-legged Keeney got 20 votes, nosing out Ike Eikenberg, Rice quarterback, and Jim Canady, Layne's pass catcher, tied with 17 each. Big fast Weldon Humble, Rice's all American guard, led the linemen with 37 ballots while Hub Bechtol, who made the second all American team, failed to click in the eyes of Southwest coaches and writers.

Bechtol ended up on the all conference second team as Gene Wilson, the Southern Methodist co-captain who often played 60 minutes a game, and Alton Baldwin, big Arkansas wingman, made first string. Charlie Malmberg. who captained Rice three years ago, and Weldon Edwards. Texas Christian sophomore, cinched the tackle berths while SMU's guard stalwart, Jim Sid Wright, became Humble's partner at At center only two candidates received more than one vote with Texas 18-year-old sophomore. Dick Harris, winning first team.

Arkansas' Bill Thomas the second. Rice, co-champion with Arkansas, led the field with two linemen and two backs on the team. Texas, SMU and Arkansas each placed two and TCU one. Baylor and the Texas Aggies failed to show and Baylor, a team that didn't win a conference game, didn't place on the second team. Layne.

Wilson and Harris were repeats from last year, while Monte Moncrief, Aggie tackle, like Bechtol, dropped from first to second team. SECOND TEAM Hub Bechtol.

eo. Schoolboy Memorial Stadium has a seating capacity that Is large enough to hold any schoolboy crowd, and Austin's central location puts it in what appears to be a highly-eligible position for one of the high school games. I General concensus around town, among citizens who are not on the committee to arrange same, is that a post-season benefit game here with the Long-horns as the host team wouldn't "draw flies" at the suggested $5 ticket price. You would be surprised at how many citizens feel that they have seen enough football for one year. It would be hard to get a visiting team down here, too the committee might end up getting the VMOF to donate some of its present funds to pay the expenses of the visiting team.

Citizens behind the drive are to be commended for their willingness and spirit, but at the same time, they should thoroughly investigate all of the business angles involved. Ed OUe. the University of Texas business manager, doubts that such a game would go over and if anyone is in a position to know, he Is. Committee members, we feel sure, would agree that the last thing the Capital City wants is a "Flop Bowl," THAT FOOTBALL FAME is short-lived is an axiom that has been demonstrated upon numerous occasions you'll find a good example in today's sports section labeled "Stuhldreher Under Fire." Stuhldreher. you probably recall, was one of the greatest football players in oNtre Dame history he was a member of the famed "Four Horsemen" who rode to national fame under the guiding hand of-'Knute Rockne.

Now Stuhldreher has, been verbally attacked by alumni and students at the University of Wisconsin, which has formed the "Goodbye Harry Club" to relieve the ex-Irish grid star of his head coaching job because his team finished eighth in the conference this year. Another example came to light here on Thanksgiving Day, when a lieutenant commander In the Navy came back to the Forty Acres for the game. -He was sitting in his fraternity house playing gin rummy, according to a friend of ours, when the housemother, doing her best to entertain the guests, struck up a conversation with him. The young naval officer introduced himself, and had to go through a long explanation, admitting that "Yes, I used to go to school here." The housemother, as we understand it. is serving her first year in that capacity and therefore had a legitimate excuse for not knowing about tht colorful career of ner guest.

But' we wonder why the others in the gin rummy game did not explain to her that Lt. Nelson Puett Jr. was the lad who dived over the goal to give Texas a 7-6 upset vitcory over in 1938.

Strange as it seems, this game will be the first bi-district contest ever played here although" the Bil lies won championships of their district 11 times in the past. "20 years. A few of those bi-district games were played in other cities by agreement but for the greater number, the site was decided by flip of a coin and in not one did Lady Luck ever favor the locals in the flip. The only "luck break" the locals consider theirs, is that Cameron's school officials were considerate of the local plight and were willing to play here by agreement so that local fans might have the thrill of a game on their fine home field. Fans are appreciative of the ar rangement and the first 1,200 re served seats offered were bought up the first day they were offered Other seats will be available later to fill public demand.

Total seating Capacity for the game is estimated at over 6,000 seats, with a large section of Army bleachers loaned for the occasion. Local civic or ganizations are backing the team and school to the hilt and every arrangement is being made to handle the large crowd of visitors expected for the game. A torchlight parade and bonfire will open the pre-game festivities on Wednesday night. Fredericksburg first won a district championship in 1925, only a year after football was introduced in the school. They won again in 1927 and '1928, and both years advanced to co-bidistrict champions, the first year with Itasca, the second year with Tivy High School of Kerrville.

Robert Klingelhoefer, present postmaster of Fredericks- hurg, was coach in those years. The next district championship win came in 1932 under the tutorship of Coach W. C. Westerfeldt, now superintendent of schools at Hawkins. That bi-district tilt was lost to Brady that year.

,6 to 2. Coach Smokey Klaerner. alumnus of the school and of Rice Institute, coached his first team to district honors in 1934. the bi-district tilt going lost to Mart. Klaerner temporarily left his coaching duties for several years to play baseball in the Texas League and was succeeded by Coach Andy Andrews, now a prof essiopal baseball umpire.

Andrew's team won the district flag in 1935. losing the bi-district to. Junction 6 to in 1936 his team took the district honors, played Rock Springs to a scoreless tie and lost the bi-district championships by that old scouTge of the Billies the flip of a coin. Klaerner resumed his coaching duties in 1937 and has served uninterruptedly until now. His team took the district championship in 1939, losing the bi-district to Taylor.

They won again in 1940 and were sweetly revenged on Taylor by taking the bi-district, 7 to 6 and won the regional game from San Marcos there, on penetrations after playing to a scoreless tie. The Billies next won the-district title in 1944 but lost the bi-district race to Killeen.
