Texas Football magailne hit the newsstands Wednesday. In this authorlta tive publication, the Hornet eleven Is figured for a fifth-place finish In District 13- AAA's grid title chase. Rated the loop's top teams are defending champion Belton, Rockdale, Taylor and Lock-hart.

Ranked below the Hornets are Copperas Cove, Del Valle and Lampasas. Clyde (Bulldog) Turner' Is now a Gentle Ben of a rancher at Pidcoke and appears 'several light years removed from any football trenches, but there are still legions of believers who swear he is the greatest center who ever lived. Turner received another signal honor this week when he was named one of the centers (along with Temple's Ki Aldrich) on the All-South west football team of the past 50 years, selected by a Football Writers Association of Ameri ca panel. Members of the mythical team will be eligible for selection on the all-time All-America college team which will be selected by the FWAA In connection with the centennial year celebration of college football. The all-time team is to be picked later this month.

Bulldog is the only man on the 19-man SW team who did n't play on a Southwest Conference team he played his college football at Hardin-Sim- mons in 1937-38-39. He is one of ten Southwes terriers who also have received recognition into the National Football Hall of Fame and he's also a member of the Texas Sports Hall of Fame. Cotton Davidson, who seems to find the fountain of youth each July, will report to the Oakland Raiders' training camp In Santa Rosa, on July 21 for his 12th season in professional football. He has been working out daily 'and is in top shape And If you think he can't still drill a pass dowhfield, mosey out to McKamie Sta dium any late afternoon and just watch him Cotton first thought he would have Jack Bell, after being associated with Gatesville Hornets for seven years, should be right at home at Athens, where he is to be the new first assistant football coach. The Athens schoolboy athletes are called Hornets, too Bell, delight- ed with his new Job, said that he and his family "certainly hate to leave Gatesville, as we have really enjoyed living here" He also said he wished the best of luck to Coach Jack Moss and the new GHS staff.

Now It can be told the four teams competing in the Junior League district baseball tournament at Lions League Park the week of July 21 will be the champions of the Bi-County League, the Braxos Valley League, the Milam County League and the Gatesville League. Bl-County is headquartered in McGregor, Braxos Valley In Mart, and Milam In Cameron Gatesville Commissioner Jim Miller has moved up several games on the local schedules so that all regular-season play at Lions League Park will be completed no later than July 21. On July 24 will begin a 2-out-of-3 game Freshman League pennant play-off between the winners of the circuit's two divisions. The champion will move Into a district tourney at Euless. The Scott's Furniture base ball nine has been steadily climbing in the Junior League standings and one of the big reasons is the smoking bat swung by catcher Don Jones.

The husky youngster is hitting at better than a .500 cup The thinking here is that both the Guaranty Bank and Scott team made their moves too late to catch the front-running National Bank crew Pearl, which has been having its troubles in its first year in the Jun ior League, experienced more grief last week when its ace slugger, Stanley Stanford, was hit in the eye by a pitched ball. There was no serious injury, but Stanford had to leave the game and missed some later contests.
