and. nudged oat Borger by four points. Amarillo defeated Pampa for the only setback. Borger, if it makes any difference, has beaten Plainview, 27 to 99, but lost to Amarillo, a team which Lubbock defeated. It is a complicated mass of dope, from which the favorite in tonight's game, which starts at 7:30 fails to emerge.

Pampa, by beating Borger and Plainview, must bave a fairly strong outfit. The Harvesters have done well in other fames, outside the Panhandle league, defeating Shamrock, supposedly a Strong team. 23-11, this week. Nearly all other rivals have gone down before the Harvester quintet. There is little to choose between tiie Westerners and Han-esters so far as height is concerned.

Lubbock probably will be at a slight disadvantage in this department, since few of the Westerners boast unusually high altitude. Except. 1'or Co-Captain Glenn at center, the team will not average more than 5 feet. 7 inches. The forwards, Clendon Kcrr and Murray Vcnable, hold but a sliaht, height advantage over the Dayton McWhorter and Othie Upion.

The Westerners depend upon speed, accumte passing- and eyes, for the basket rather than superior height. Optimistic, As I'MUI!

The Amarillo school board appointed Nicklaus, for the past several years coach at the junior high school there, succeed Prank Kimbrough, who resigned this week to accept the position of head mentor at his alma mater, Hardin-Simmons university. A former star at Amarillo High school, Nicklaus first entered Bucknell university and remained there for one year.

He entered Texas in 1925 and was elected captain of the first Matador NICKLAUS varsity foot ball team. Nicklaus. a ramming fullback, short ol itature but heavy and muscular, played three years on the Tech team. He marked his final season by charging down the field, smacking the Texas A- M. college line hard, to bcore Tech's only touchdown aganst the Aggies.

He was a star pass receiver, as well as line plunger, and his pass snatching helped Tech to numerous victories in the early years of the schools. Able Baseball Performer In addition to Jootball, Nicklaub was popular in the Panhandle ai a baseball player of merit. He was a member oi the Lubbock Hubber and later was with Amarillo in organized baseball. He played with several otlier teams in this section. Nicklaus received his degree from Tech in 1328, and returned home to Amarillo.

He has been conch of Aninrillo Junior high school lor three years, and his teams have led many htars to the Golden Sandstorm eleven, 1934 champions of the Texas Inter.scholastlc league. Kimbrough has left to Nicklaus a great record to iollow, having won the junior college conlerence WINNING BASKETBALL By Nat Holman This is a forward-to-guard play from center formation.

Grid Competition This Year Boxing To Return With Vaudeville? But When Is That? WASHINGTON, Jan. 31. MPi Representative J.

GeorRe Stewart, of Delaware, believes "boxing will regain its old-time popularity when vaudeville does." "But," the former member of the Delaware State Athletic commission said today, "you'll have to figure when vaudeville is cominy back. "Wrestling," he added, "has taken the place of vaudeville. People- tired of vaudeville, and wrestling muscled into Its spot. The fans, were not Interested in scientific wrestling. They wanted action and they got it.

Boxing Could Copy "They like to hear em groan and grunt and throw each other out the ring. When this, cycle passes people begin to no lor vaudruir I believe they'll go for boxir.j, too." Delaware's lone helped draft that boxmy rules five years ago. He was a member of the boxing commission until after election in November. Poor fights and demands lor have hurt the game, he "Boxers might adopt the lers' system and fight for a percentage instead of guarantee," he continued. "They should go into a town, give the customers a good battle and build themselves up as a local attraction.

Wrestlers have done Uiis and have seen $500 crowds jump to $10,000. If they don't put on a good show, the fans won't return. The same should go for boxers." Slfwart shrugced at the mention of recent, squabbles which have followed boxing decisions. "There is no reason for bad decisions." he said, "if you have competent honest officials."

WE BUY OLD GOLD Schmidt Named Instructor At Mentor School Ohio State Cotch May Become Member Texas Tech dwelling School Staff; Contract Has Not Been Sifned Francis Schmidt, former head coach at Texas Christian university who was "graduated" to the Big Ten conference last year and whose Ohio State university team enjoyed success on the gridiron, may be the professor of basketball at the fifth annual Texas Tech coaching schooL Coach Pete Cawthon of Tech, manager of the coaching school, said yesterday that no official statement regarding the coming of Schmidt to August had been released from his office, but that the Ohio State mentor had been invited and had verbally accepted.

No contract has been signed with Schmidt, but Cawthon said it was highly probable that the Buckeye coach would be here. Holman Silent Cawthon also had invited Nat Holman, nationally famous basketball coach of City College of New York, to head the cage staff at the 1935 school, but failure to receive definite acceptance from Holman led the Tech coach to contact Schmidt. Schmidt, it is believed, would prove a greater drawing card in this territory than Holman, since the former was well known in Texas and the Southwest as a producer of winning cage teams at University of Arkansas and Texas Christian. Cawthon announced Wednesday that Frank Thomas, coach at University of Alabama, had been signed to teach his version of football technique at the August school, bringing the number of grid coaches to three. Dana Bible of University of Nebraska and Bernie Bierman of Minnesota had previously signed.
