This is the first step in building a successful high school program, since one-half of the boys will either quit or be forced to drop from the team by the time they are seniors.

One-half of 45 will give you 23 boys, whereas one- half of IS is only six or seven. What can anybody do with only six or seven seniors and 25 or so juniors and mores each year? Sure, yon may have a good team when the younger boys are seniors, but what about the following year? If a coach can get 20 or so seniors and 20 or so juniors coming along every year, there is nothing to keep you from having a good team each year. BRIGHT PROSPECT by We want to salute Coaches Johnny Truelove and Ivan Price for their efforts toward this fine program. If the townspeople will back them in their work, we can assure you of good teams in the next few years. Now back to football itself.

Eight Champions Named In Golden Gloves Meet FORT WORTH (AP) Headed by Henry Harris, the big bomber from Cut And Shoot, and little Humberto Barrera, as clever as they come, the Texas Golden Gloves team goes to Chicago Saturday with the high hopes of winning the Tournament of Champions. The eight champions were crowned Tuesday night in a closing program that drew 6,286 fans and made attendance for the five nights of the tournament total 27,705.

Barrera, a foxy flyweight from Robstown, was the only 1959 champion to repeat.

He beat Mike Adame Jr. of Ei Paso for the title, doing some fine boxing the last two rounds. Other champions making up the Texas team will be bantamweight Carlos Rodriguez of Austin, featherweight Paul Alba of Austin, lightweight Reggie Davis of Sherman, welterweight Gary Watt of Amarillo, middleweight Gene Gilliam of Dallas and light heavyweight Don Marshall of Midland. Burton Gilliam of Dallas will be an alternate to Watt. The latter got an ear injury and it might trouble him at Chicago.

The Amarillo and Corpus Christi districts tied for second with 12 each and Dallas scored 11. Rodriguez won his championship by beating Armando Benavidez of San Antonio.

Davis beat Jay Lavender of Wichita Falls with a two-fisted finish. Watt won over Bobby Wilhelm of Corpus Christi, the 1958 champion, on a technical knockout. Wilhelm suffered a deep cut over the right eye and the fight was stopped after 34 seconds of the third round, Gilliam defeated Martin Ber- zewski of Amarillo in the greatest fight of the night.

They slugged it out all the way. Marshall won the light heavyweight crown by beating Elmer Clements of Amarillo. To show the loyalty of some of the boys, one youngster came to the coaches, fighting back the tears, and stated that he had to quit football. After questioning the boy for a while the coaches found out he lived eight miles in the country and had no way home in the afternoon after practice. He had begged and pleaded with his parents, telling them that If he would be allowed to remain playing football, he would walk home in the afternoon.

A grin spread across the face, and from now on one of the coaches personally takes the game youngster home, thus writing finish to a fears of not getting to play football. Robert McAfee, leading Vernon High School golfer, shot a four-under-par 31 yesterday at workout.

Lou Viscusi, manager of Cleveland Williams, said the Texas Boxing Enterprises is ready to guarantee Liston 10,000, or an option of 25 per cent of the gate, plus $1,000 training expenses for a bout March 21 at Houston with Williams.
