Gentlemen of the Jury OME interesting points about the methods pursued in recruiting oollefe football players have been brought out in a controversy down south resulting from the charge made that Red Cagle, star Army was a -tramp athlete before he went to West Point. Hie statement that Cagle was a tramp athlete and refused to enter Texas A. M.

after he had been secured, was credited to Ike Ash- former commandant of A. M. and now vice president and general manager of the Houston Chamber of Commerce. In reply to the charges, T. R.

Mobley, athletic director at Southwestern Louisiana Institute, where Cagle played before he went to the Army, wrote the following letter: Ashburn Is wrong when he says that Southwestern Louisiana Institute is a small school in iana. It is a standard four-year college, is a. member of the Southern Association of Colleges and has enrollment of 838 students. It been a standard four-year college since 1921, the year before Cagle entered. And as for Cagle boast- that he was about the best football player in this part of the to one who really knows this fine a joke, indeed.

I think I know Cagle as well as anyone and I never have heard anyone make such a statement before. Please ask Col. Ashburn to read what the sport writers all over the country say about how modest Cagle is and how hard It is to get him to talk about.his playing. I PEAKING OF SPORT By BOB INGRAM i COBLENTZ JN COMEBACK UTHER COBLENTZ is staging a come-back. Cast adrift two years ago by El Paso High school after serving that school 12 years as coach, Coblentz may come to the front next year with a real football team at Austin Junior High school.

Coblentz coached the Austin team this year. His team lost six of its nine games and gome of the defeats were by big scores. Coblentz hardly expected to do any better. He had two players who were 16 years of age. The rest were 15 or under.

Seven of his players weighed 135 pounds. The rest of the team averaged around 100 pounds. Austin will be a two-year high school next year and the players, all of whom will be back, will be benefited by the year of experience. Coblentz has high hopes for a good season next year. only methods of again putting himself to the front in athletics is at Austin High and be surprised if he have a team in a year or two that will make everybody sit up and take notice.

BETTER PRELIMINARY BOYS HERE preliminary class. Main event boxers who train for fights in Albu- uerque simply either have to bring heir sparing partners or do without. There are no local preliminary boxers to tmin with. And neither Albuquerque nor Phoenix boxing cards have preliminary bouts that Went Hunting inpHESE are the facts regarding Cagle going to Texas A. Johnson was coaching South Park College in 1925, when we played them in Lafayette.

After 4fee game he stated that Cagle was the greatest football player he ever had seen and immediately began talking to him about going to Texas A. M. Cagle was in his junior year and already had played three years of varsity football, as we did not have the freshman rule at that time. The following summer, while Cagle was here in school, Johnson came to Lafayette and stayed here two days. He never came out to see me or to visit our campus.

I do not know what inducements he offered Cagle and Kenneth Welch but he took them to Texas A. M. with him, paying all their expenses. Welch, by the way, was one of my star tackles that year. But Didn't Bag Bed AGUE stayed there only one week and returned to Lafayette.

When I talked to him about this he said he never had any idea of going to Texas A. M. but that Mr. Johnson insisted he go over there and see the school and that he might change his mind. He told me they offered him a job that Would pay all of his expenses if he stayed.

I know what they offered Welch but he stayed and is there yet. angle is that these boys were asked to go there during the summer and register before July 1 in order to beat the migratory rule which the conference had passed that year. Only Five Bucks a Week finished here and se- cured an appointment to West Point from this district and what has done is well known. He is one of the finest boys we ever had here and is modest in every way. He bad a job in his junior and senior years here and this paid him $20 a month.

I ask that you investigate this story further and if you find the facts to be as I have stated, please correct the report which gives the impression that Cagle was a tramp athlete and was trying to hold up Tew A. M. for a large sum of money to play No Need for Stockings The majority of southern football teams play practically all their games each year without wearing stockings. HIS is Thanksgiving day and El Paso fight fans ane particular thing to be thanltful for. There are more and better preliminary fighters here to the square foot than there are to the square mile in Phoenix or Albuquerque.

Neither of the neighboring cities has any thing to brag about in the can touch for quality. WE STAND CORRECTED uther coblentz, former Hign school coach, calls to make a correction on the statement that El Paso has beaten Albuquerque in football. According to Coblentz the Tigers invaded the Duke City in 1920 and nosed out the Bulldogs by a 7 to 0 score. Previous to this year that is the only time tht Tigers have won at Albuquerque. The two teams started playing each other in 1919 and the Bengals have played four of their games at Albuquerque.

A nnouncement of Wayne (Big) retirement the other day brings to mind the way he was hailed by the wrestling patrons several years ago when he hurled Strangler Lewis over the top ropes of a Kansas City ring. Munn was heralded as a man who would clean up the game. He was looked upon as the man who would break up the trusts which controlled wrestling. In this he hardly made a success. If there were trusts, Strangler broke up one when he CONTRIBUTIONS tossed Stecher in St.

Louis last year. Aside from this fact, Munn contributed very little to the wrestling game. He had only one hold, the crotch hold, and any wrestler smart enough to elude this stood a good chance of beating him. His pachy- dermous form, a regular mountain of flesh, made him tower above his opponents, but the way Lewis toyed with him when the two wrestled here last winter shows that he lacked something that good wrestlers have. NUTE ROCKNE is commonly referred to as the old man.

The Notre Dame coach who spent a few minutes in El Paso Tuesday looks the part of an elderly coach if a bald head means anything, but one of the youngest football mentors in the business. It been such a long time since he was playing football. And Jess Harper, who coached Notre Dame when Rockne was a player, looks younger than Knute. Houston Bulldogs claim they won the game played against the Trojans Sunday by a score of 6 to 2. The Trojans claimed they won, 2 to, 0, but the Bulldogs declare they were given a touchdown by the referee.

Ysleta tied Alpine while El Paso and Ysleta beat Fabens by about the same score.
