That figure represents almost the total population of the state. Dr. Rhea Williams, League athletic director, says although not every person in Texas saw a game, "many people saw from five to 25 games." On basis of those attendance figures and the 50 cents per person admission fee, Williams estimates that the high school football program took in $3.5 million last year.

Texas Christian could do little right against the OCU Indians, who used a largely sophomore lineup to avenge the 68 to 63 whipping TCU handed them in Oklahoma City two weeks ago. The Frogs netted only 18 of their 67 shots from the field, and a miserable eight of 23 from the free throw line.

OCU, on the other hand, didn't get as many tries, but converted 19 of the 42 fielders and 25 of 37 charity tosses.

The University Intel-scholastic League sponsors only high school football, but "the stimuli from this program bring other boys into the picture," Williams says.

"Whenever I give these figures," he says, "I like to make the point that by far and large the conduct on the part of students, coaches and fans is on a high level." During Uie entire 1953 football season, Williams said, there were only four i cases of misconduct called to the attention of the league. "Only one I which we investigated was of such gravity as to require a penalty." "People oftentimes use isolated cases of misconduct to condemn 1 the entire athletic program," Wili liams said. "In my opinion the records as stated above clearly indicate that in a program with so many schools participating, games i being played and spectators watch! ing and only four cases of mis- I conduct reported, is an excellent record." "Our program," says Williams, "isn't geared to turn out professional athletes." Only about 750 of 45,000 boys playing on varsity high school teams each year will go to college, he says. "But there's no doubt about it," Williams concedes, "we do turn out from our high schools some of the best athletes in the nation."

But LONGHORN TEEN-AGE CLUB HAS PROGRAM Fourteen members of the Early Longhorn Teen-Age Club met in the high school study hall Tuesday with Glenda Wheeler presiding. Linda Smith read the minutes and Alta Turner, vice-president, gave a review of Betty Cavanna's book, "Six on Easy Street." A story followed by Ida Nell Hinson from Collier's magazine, "Small Town Christmas," and Linda Smith presented "Christmas Is Over." Miss Maudie Joe Fields, county school librarian, made announcements and offered suggestions. Those attending were Linda Smith.

Small packages of Christmas candy with Merry Christmas greetings were distributed to members present. It won't exactly corne to an end. Laughead, who was fired from his post with Michigan State College on grounds that he was predicting the end of the world, made this reassuring forecast here Thursday as he consulted with a fellow believer in imminent doom.

Next Tuesday, he said, will be merely a "turning point toward catastrophe in this part of the world." Chicago will be hit by a tidal wave, the ground from Hudson's Bay to the Gulf of Mexico may rise and the legendary continents of Atlantis and Mu may emerge from the seas, Laughead said. Upheavals on Seaboards He warned that the eastern and western seaboards should also be on the lookout for "cataclysmic" upheavals. But things won't get really bad until 1955, the tall, ascetic-looking physician said. By that time, he said, it's quite ikely that all the land masses as they now exist will sink beneath, the oceans and be replaced by new continents. Men from other planets may rescue a few of the earthlings in space ships, he said.

Laughead refused to say whether he's going to stick it out in Chicago next Tuesday or go to some drier city. "I myself expect to be in the world in the shape I now represent on Dec. 22," he said. "But what hanges I am making In my life as a result of this prophecy are matters of my own personal for pubUc explanation." Friends from Outer Space Laughead, 44, and his wife received newsmen in the home of Mrs. Dortohy E.

Martin of suburban Oak Park. He gave Mrs. Martin full credit for the predictions and said she had received the news from friends in outer space. Mrs. Martin agreed that last March she was sitting in her living room when "suddenly there was a buzzing in my head, like a signal, and I picked, up a pencil." "I started writing, but there was no thought involved," she said.

"The pencil just wrote messages. One of them was that there would be this tidal wave hitting Lake Michigan Dec. 21 and then spreading to other cities." The messages, she said, came from "Connoiters" who live on an 1 undiscovered planet called "Clari- I "Connoiters" often check up i on the world in flying saucers or "discs," she said. lonA to CLAUDE HUDSON on the Opening of Your New Conoco Station Saturday December 18th We are happy to have been the General Contractors on your beautiful new station A.
