Walter Morris, all-Louisiana Class by the Baton Rouge MorSJ today as sayine that iuorni today as saying that the It Cant Miss BATON ROUGE, La, (AP) A baseball precedent appeared in the making today with the cancellation of the Evangeline league playoff. Managers of the four teams in the Shaughnessy poet-season series announced at Thibodiux last night that the playoff had been cancelled because bad weather cut gate receipts and that continuation would be unprofitable. No similar siuation was recalled but it brought to mind the old saying that if it happens in baseball, it will happen in the Evangeline league. When the series, which opened Sept.

8 came to its abrupt end, Houma and Wit 27 Whiti schoo in N' Nieh Th bus planr per leans Cot with dont more down touc) and tellin groui you alive Wi ment throi the I but i canp was permissable if aPPWJ? four participating clubs. Mori. that so far as he knew. was unprecedented. ir4 President George TrautmW National Association of Prof Baseball Leagues said at Colmif that he never had heard of playoff being cancelled and playing a whale of a running game besides, as he and Arceneaux shared the brunt of the Cathedral offense.

The Tigers line stiffened considerably in the second half, and cut down the net yardage gained by the Hornets by throwing them for losses of 20 and 18 yards. Myron Miller was the man who slammed in to nail 1001111 for the second loss, while a tackled passer resulted in the 20-yarder. A hard blow for Cathedral fans (and a good many of them journeyed to Franklin for the game) to take was when an 18-yard end run by Higgen-bctham was nullified by a 15-yard clipping penalty. This ended another possible scoring threat by the Tigers. The next game for the Tigers will be on next Friday night, when they journey to Oakdale to meet the high school there.

THE SUMMARY Lafay- Frank- AUSTIN, (AP) The Texas Longhorns ruled favorites in their season opener here against the Louisiana State Tigers. Warm, humid weather with a few clouds and possible scattered showers were promised by the weatherman who said the field would be dry and the temperature about 88 degrees at kickoff time, 2 p.m. (CST). The Longhorns and Tigers meet for the first time since 1941. Texas blanked LSU on that occasion, 34-0.

Experience, speed and good reserve strength combined to make the Texas eleven the favorite. Coach Blair Cherrys offense boasted two fine running threats in halfbacks Byron Gil-lory and Billy Pyle, aided by the powerful thrusts of fullback Tom Landry and the aerial work of quarterback Paul Campbell. A1 Heroman, right halfback, was rated Coach Gaynell Tinsleys best scoring prospect in the Tiger ground attack. Quarterback Charlie Pevey wgs relied on to fill the place of Y. A.

Tittle, whose passes were the Tigers most potent weapon last year. A record opening game crowd of Defending State Champions Of if if Bogalusa Whip Jesuit 41-13 A city-wide dog show will be in Lafayette Sept. 25 in commemoration of National Dog Week Sept. 19-25, and National Youth Month, Mickey Do-mingue, director of Playgrounds and Parks said today.

He also said the show, which will start at 10 a.m is open to all children in the city, and will be held at the Southern Pacific Playground. Among the prizes offered, the Southwest Louisiana Kennel Club will furnish 15 five-pound cans of boxes of dog food and 15 two-pound cans of boxes will be given through the courtesy of the Gains Dog Food company, Max McClelland, district supervisor of products, disclosed.

Class A to overpower Houmi Woody Watson pitched two touchdw passes and scored another forTJ Co-captain Steve Arceneaux cut back on his own right end in the latter part of the third quarter with the only score of the game as Cathedral high school defeated Franklin 6-0 at Franklin last night. The play culminated a drive from the Franklin 42-yard line, where the Tigers gained possession of the ball on a Franklin fumble. Arceneaux went eight yards off tackle, and Ed Landry gained a first down on two plays through the center of the line. Then, with the ball on the 32, Wingback Jackie Higginbotham, carrying the ball for the second time in the entire game, went around left end on a naked reverse all the way to the Hornets 12.

Arceneaux went over on the next play. The game ended with Cathedral in goal line, after a partially-blocked possession of the ball on the Franklin punt had given the Tigers possession of the ball deep in Hornet territory. The game marked Sam Jarvis' debut as coach of the Tigers, and the victory started him off on the right foot. It didnt look that way at the start, however, when Franklin twice had possession of the ball inside the Tigers 20. The Cathedral line stiffened and took the ball away on downs in one case, and a fumble ended the threat.

Lester Pontiff and James Pichoff slammed through wide holes over the Cathedral tackles time and again in the first half, knocking off four and five yards at a clip as Steve Arceneaux came up from the secondary to cut off many potentially long rims. Franklin, running from a Notre Dame box, out-rushed Cathedral 63 yards to 46 in the first half. Making about half of the Cathedral tackles, and going all over the field to get them, was Right Guard Charlie Trahan. Many times the Hornet backs started through open holes only to haveTrahan slam them down from the side. Co-captain Ed Landry generalled the team ably on offense and defense, it 1 With the first fall meeting of the Camellia Bowl Association this week, attention was refocussed on the program that will bring a top-notch midwinter sports carnival to Lafayette.

Flans are right now being laid to make the December 30 football game a major attraction; the signing of the University of North Carolina and the University of Arizona to meet in the basketball contest has already made that a program worth of note. Mondays meeting was our first with the Camellia Bowlers, and we came away with the feeling that it just couldnt miss. Aside from the obvious points in favor of such a program as is planned for Lafayette, and the thought that the need for such events will make the Bowl a success, we were most impressed with the men behind it. Wjth some ideas the execution can be haphazard and the success of the project can still be insured. In this association, however, there is a houseful of bearcats bearcats for efficiency.

Bennett J. Voorhies, for example, says that his legal committee did very little; as a matter of record, it was due to his efforts that permission for the use of the Southwestern Louisiana Institute facilities was obtained. By shrewd interpretation of the existing laws governing such permits, he was able to make the attorney-general see things his way, and the Camellia Bowl, unable to survive otherwise, will have the use of McNaspy Stadium for its gridiron classic. Another go-getter in the association is Jack Marrus, chairman of the finance committee. Selling $25,000 worth of bonds in two days is just a typical example of the way in which this enthusiastic official and his committee do things.

It is almost impossible, however, to single out individuals in the organization, for it is composed of outstanding men. The manner in which the work, and staging such a spectacle entails plenty of it, was parcelled out among those most able to shoulder certain burdens, is another indication of the way in which this group does business. We came away from that meeting with one theme predominant in our mind: it just cant miss. Charles.

Bi (By The Associated Press) Teams for the southeast district were downright ruthless last night in the Louisiana Class AA football scramble.

Three of them slapped Double-A clubs from other districts with no compunction whatsoever. To begin there were the Bogalusa Lumberjacks, state champions of 1947. Supposedly weakened by losses of key men through graduation, the Jacks looked anything but weak as they pushed the Jesuit Blue Jays of New Orleans all over the field. Some 12,500 New Orleans fans gaped in surprise, for theyre not used to seeing their Jays handled thus. The score was 41-13.

And it wasnt until the champions relaxed in the final period that Jesuit could get a point. Bill Graham scored two Bogalusa touchdowns but Derryl Burrs 60-yard punt return into pay dirt was the evenings highlight. Charlie Rappold got both of Jesuits touchdowns. The Istrouma Indians of Baton Rouge, who walloped Lake Charles of the southwest district a week before, outclassed Jennings of the same sector last night 43-7. Quarterback Lester Landry passed for three Istrouma touchdowns and set up a third.

Baton Rouge high.which mauled Me-Comb of Mississippis Big Eight in the season opener, defeated the Bolton Bears of the southwest district 27-6. Tubby Watson made three touchdowns for the Bulldogs. Another New Orleans team, the Fortier Tarpons, went all the way to Port Arthur, Tex, for a 24-0 drubbing. The Texans even kicked a field goal against them. Holy Cross salvaged some glory for the big city by drubbing Meridian high of the Mississippi Big Eight, 19-0.

This was the opening game for the season for both schools. Larry Burleigh, fullback of the Tigers, scored two touchdowns for Jeanerette in the third quarter. This was Delcambres first football team in the history of the school.

The 6-man lineup for Jeanerette was Donald St. Germain, end; Charles Provost, end: Gerald Grlslaffi, center; Larry Landry, back; Larry Burleigh, back; and James Provost, back. The Delcambre lineup was Kenwood LeBlanc, back; Kern Broussard, back; Lehmann Hebert, end; John Saunier, center; Niel LeBlanc, back, and Harvey Saunier, end.

Loreauvilles lineup had Carroll Ju-dice and Lloyd Blanchard at the terminals. Snapping the ball back was Olan Mestayer, quarterback Olivier Vaughn called the signals with Fred Dugas and Irvin Breaux manning the halfback positions.

Loreauville scored in the third period after a series of plays that carried the ball down the field. The scoring play was a line buck from the 10-yard stripe, with Breaux lugging the leather. Oliver Vaughn and Fred Dugas played throughout the entire fracas. Substitutes were Carroll Borel at end, Leroy Le Camus at halfback and Ray Broussard at center. Russell Ju-dice, Ronald Vaughn, Sully Berard and Harvey Broussard also made the trip to Rayne.

26, in New Iberia. At Theres a question that has been bothering us for quite some time now, and wed like to ask the fans of Lafayette for an answer: "How strong a sports community is Lafayette? The recently ended baseball season was no indication of the sports-mind-edness of Lafayette, for the fans had a team that was never out of the cellar. In view of this, the attendance was good. But now. Sir Football is rearing his muscular shoulders, and there are not just one, but three football teams worthy of support.

Cathedral High schools Tigers showed this in no uncertain fashion last night, when, after little more than a month with a new coach and a new system, they went down to Franklin and ground out a 6-0 victory over the Hornets. Lafayette High school and SLI have their first games tonight, but win or lose, they will still be good, ball clubs. Coach Louis Whitman of the Lions fully expects to lose this first encounter, and so do most Lafayette railbirds, for the local boys will nrobably be playing out of their class. The Bulldogs should win in Austin, but regardless vof the outcome, they are worthy of full houses whenever they play. Our question will be answered before too many weeks go by, and we are sincere in our hope that these three football squads will play before large and strongly partisan crowds for the entire season.

They work hard for you, the citizens of Lafayette, for you reap the rewards of a successful gridiron season. They work for your support; give it to them.

Jimmy Southard, No. 1 quarterback, may not be available for the opener. He took a severe jolt in the left ribs early last week, and the hurt has not responded to treatment as well as expected. Meanwhile, up at Nashville, the Vanderbilt griddqrs held a 30 minute defensive skirmish against the frosh version of the Georgia Tech T-formation. The outstanding defensive man during the workout was Quarterback Tommy Patterson.

He repeatedly plunged through the line to haul down the freshmen ball handlers. And over at Knoxville, the Tenessee Volunteers held their first game scrimb mage. The first and fourth varsity played the second and third stringers. Tailback Hal Littleford, W. C.
