against the Army Commandos from Ft Bliss at the Austin High Stadium Camp Wilson 212-pound fullback will supply that power Dis charged from the Army because of an ankle injury he reported at the All-Star practice yesterday Coach' Chule" Milner was almost over Lead Indians Against Austin Jz- I jC'- O' yilpy Chandler Set For Start in World Series By CARL LUXDQUIST United Fresi Staff Carrepn6cnt NEW YORK Oct The difference between the winning and losing shares in the World Series probably is the greatest incentive for inspired play in the annual classic and this year it may work to greater advantage for the Yankees than the Cardinals Though most of the Cardinals weren't as lean and hungry as described and were getting considerably more than pay" from Owner Sam Breadon it generally was reported that a lot of them got more for winning the 1942 series than they did for playing the entire year in the National League However during the off season Breadon rewarded the kids with substantial pay boosts and they need the series money this fall as badly as last The situation is different with the Yankees Such first year men on the club as Billy Johnson Bud Metheny Charley Wensloff George Stirn-weiss Nick Etten and Roy Weath erly have replaced high priced Yankee veterans like Charley Ruffing Joe DiMaggio Tom Henrich George Selkirk and Red Rolfe Hie difference between the winning and losing usually about $3000 may spur them to greater effort and key the entire team to their pitch The smallest crowd in the history of Yankee Stadium 711 paying guests saw Spurgeon (Spud) Chandler do a three inning brisk World Series tuneup in which he held the Chicago White Sox hitless The Sox got to his successor Bill Zuber however and turned in an 8 to 3 victory Biggs

Milner announced that Wilson will be a starter against the Army team at fullback not only will give us needed weight and power but he's a good passer and punter" Milner said In his first practice here Wilson did not appear to be bothered much by his lame ankle The Commandos will match Wilson's bulk with two big backs of their own Danny Brandt 190-pounder who played for the Second Air Force Bombers in the Sun Bowl last year against Wilson and the other Hardin-Sim-mons players and Lt George McCall 228-pound fullback who has played eight years of Army football The rest of the Commando lineup: Mickey Malaguti (160) and Dave Blair team captain (160) backs Alex Gabis (180) and Clarence Schurwan (190) ends Marvin Mitchell (225) and Joe Appio (180) tackles Tom Barfell (185) and Joe Newby (160)

Discharges Camp Wilson For Ankle Injury CAMP WILSON has joined the ranks of Frankie Sinkwich Tuffy Leemans Ken Strong A1 Blozis Howie Schultz Greg Rice and other hardy 4-F athletes Wilson has received a medical discharge from the Army and is now enjoying life as a civilian The medics at Camp Roberts Calif looked him over and decided that he wasn't physically fit for the Army Two years ago at Tarleton Junior College left ankle was sliced by a lawn mower The Achilles tendon was severed Although he was one of the best fullbacks as a member of the flardin-Simmons team last season the injury bothered him and it pained him more as an infantryman in the Army as much so or more so than Frankie llat footsies The doctors operated and Wilson spent three weeks in an Army hospital He still was unable to wear a high-top GI shoe and take those long marches that foot soldiers have to undergo Wilson and Mobley Torrid Touchdown Twins WILSON will not return to Hardin-Simmons because the Cowboys have quit football for the duration Players of their Border Conference championship and Sun Bowl team have scattered Most of them are in the Service The head coach Warren Woodson is a lieutenant in the Navy and is stationed at Holbrook Arizona Little Mobley the other member of the Cowboys touchdown combination last year is at Camp Maxey Texas The Wilson-Mobley duo was a pair of touchdown travelers Wilson was a trenchant line smasher Mobley a breakaway beauty The Miners ganged Wilson at Abilene last year so Mobley ran wild against the Orange and White Wilson says the best game he played was against Baylor He almost single handed beat the Bears 13-6 We saw both of them almost beat the Second Air Force Bombers In the Sun Bowl Mobley was one of the leading scorers and led the whole country in yardage Wilson was third among the ground gainers with a total of 994 yards to his credit you know?" Wilson asked none of the Southwest Conference schools wanted Mobley because he was too small?" Yes and it is remembered that Bulldog Turner sell himself to any of the Conference teams either He had to go to Hardin-Simmons to make the Little All-America Tulsa Wants llim But Shopping Around WILSON will try to play football and believes his sore foot will not keep him from busting lines like he did last year Henry Frnka heard about his discharge from the Army and has been burning up the wires trying to sign him Wilson is going to take his time and shop around If his ankle doesn't slow him up he can make any big school eleven in the country Does any team want a 212-pound fullback who has three years of eligibility and can hit a line with the impact of a blockbuster? crowd boys Center Noel Howard over the ball) and LeRoy Juen will lead the Ysleta Indians into action tonight in their district opener with the Austin Panthers at the Austin Stadium Howard and Juen are co-captains for tonight's games Dusky Drew Draws Display Determination By BOB INGRAM IT WAS SURPRISING as well as Lige draw with Midget Mexico at the Juarez Bullring last night The slender Negro boxer holder of a previous knockout over the Midget give the fight an honest effort the way it looked from this corner Drew levelled in one round only the fourth in which he nailed the Midget with several rights and lefts to the jaw For the rest of the bout he apparently coasted He spent a lot of the night locked in Arruza Returns Your New Fall Clothes Are At The UNION! That's why there isn't enough whiskey available to meet the public demand Yet since our plants stopped distilling whiskey last year there has been no change in the official prices of Hiram Walker brands except for the new federal excise tax in 1942 and the OPA adjustments in 1943 The official OPA prices in this city are as follows: There is a nation-wide shortage of whiskey The whiskey now on hand is in no sense a Whiskey is aged for years before it is bottled and marketed and the present supply was intended for sale in 43 44 45 46 and later And now this supply must be stretched through 1947 and 1948 because distilleries are how making only alcohol for war proved Ysleta Has Advantage In Experience A LTHOUGH they are solid fa- vorites Coach Clyde long-legged Ysleta Indians are not likely to have an easy time tonight when they face the Austin Panthers at the Eastside stadium in the opening round of the District 4-AA championship fight A marked improvement has been noticed in the Austin team since its walloping by Midland last week Long practice sessions have resulted in better all-around play Ysleta however has the advantage in being able to put an experienced team on the field The Indians have a line and backfield almost entirely on the ground as neither eleven is skilled in aerial offensive tactics Yaleta Allen 162 LE Kidd 162 Mlllican 186 LT Porter 200 Rader 157 LG

Title BT UNITED PRESS The eyes of Texas football fans will be upon Austin tomorrow as the Southwest Conference favorites the Texas Longhorns tackle independent Southwestern Univer sity but wary glances will be cast northward towards Little Rock Ark It will be at Little Rock that the official conference campaign gets under way with Texas Christian land Arkansas as the contenders The wariness will be felt by the four other Conference members who wonder what TCU will look like in its first outing of the fall and what Razorbacks will do against opposition more of its own class than Missouri

state at Baton Rouge and Texas Aggies fcoing to San Antonio for a neutral-site game with Texas Tech Saturday night The of the Southwest probably will be at stake in the game at Austin that is if you are one who concedes Texas the Conference title this far ahead of time for powerful Southwestern has an experienced star-studded outfit that has run roughshod over the North Texas Aggies and the Ward Island Marines without having come close to being scored on Southwestern will be favored to win but it should be close Arkansas has the edge over TCU but the latter team is an unknown quantity Deer

which Scott won by a technical knockopt at the end of the 11th round when Denson was forced to retire because of an injured hand Up to that point the 194-pound Indiana champion apparently had the better of the scoreboard but had taken terrific punishment from body blows and left jabs in the ninth 10th and 11th rounds that had sent him reeling to the ropes several times Monahans Green Wave To

the dizzy character of the season by scoring twice in two minutes both for and against his team: First he scored a safety for Princeton then he ran 80 yards for a Blue and Red touchdown No stage director with a sense of fantasy could have planned it better We had teams like Ohio State and Pittsburgh traditionally formidable barely managing to escape with their lives a large part of the explanation being ironically that they must depend on civilian students which Is to say their personnel is not supplemented by Navy and Marine trainees Ohio state made a fight of it against the Iowa Seahawks but lacked the scoring touch A young man named Dick Todd clicked against the Buckeyes with two touchdown passes That just about represented the margin of victory This is the same Dick Todd who used to play professional football for the Washington Redskins He's a service student at Iowa There is no law against using professionals in college games this year provided they are service stu dents Yet the conventional eligi bility rules are still in force For example the first string center of Pennsylvania Don Bitler has been removed from the squad It seems he already has had his full
