Tuesday, it 1ms been announced. Election of officers, determination of memberships, ana plans for the coming season are the matters to be discussed at the Tuesday session. This basketball circuit has been one of the most successful amateur athletic loops ever conducted in this section.

Lack of competent men. in this line has l.ccn a drawback to the circuit for the past three years, Tho league had an enthusiastic, If not altogether successful, season last year. A round robin was played between the two best clubs of the upper bracket and the two best of the lower flight. These were Harlin- St-n, San Bcnito, McAllen and Edin- burg.

Although Coach Schmidt $as in south Texas on a brief hunting trip, the cagers, under freshman coach Dutch Meyer, started work toward retaining the basketball crown that they won last- March. Tho Horned Prog mentor has a crew of veteran sfrom the championship outfit of last year. Capt. Noble Atkins, Clyde Roberson and Ellsworth Chappell are tho only ones lost from 1031.

Co-captains Doc Summers and Ray McCullock, Buster Brannon, Harlos Green and Johnny Vaught are returning. Fish Look Good In addition to these stars, several potential luminaries have graduated from the freshman team of last year. The outstanding of these are Elbert "Flash" Walker, who ranks slclc-by-sUle with Doc Sumncr in clover ball handling and goal loopIng: Jewel Wallace, an excellent all around guard from Texarkana Junior College; Cy Perkins from Olney and Wallace Myers, another excellent guard from Jacksboro. For the third time in the history of the school, the squad will be divided. Coach Schmidt will pick his first sciuad, and the others will be entered in the Major City League of Fort Worth under the name C.

U. Bull Progs." In this way the players who will not sec much service in the varsity games will gain experience and be of more value to the team next year. With the exeeptlon of Doc Sum- nor, all of tho team In good shape for the opening of tho season. Simmer's hand, hurt while receiving a punt in the Baylor game, still refuses to heal. Since the injury was tho result of tearing the thin 'tissues of an old burn scar, the healing process is exceedingly slow.

More Games The non-conference schedule has not been completed, but Coach Schmidt Is almost certain that the team will make a barnstorming tour of the midwest during the Christmas holidays and meet all comers. They will return soon after January 1 and start practice for their first defense of their title against the Baylor Bears In Waco Jan. 0.

title-holders ha'jo been crowned in all eight of the country's major football groups or conferences and the prize award of all, tho national championship, hangs on the New Year's day clash between Tulane and Southern California in the Rose Bowl January 1. Four sectional champions of 1930 repeated this year, either outright or partially, Tulane, which shared the Southern conference crown with Alabama a year ago, finished all alone at the top this year, unbeaten and untied in 11 games. Northwestern and Michigan which tied for the Big Ten title In 1830, gained a third share with Purdue tills season. Utah and Drake again won the Rocky Mountain and Mis- souri Valley conference championships outright. Of the four new champions crowned, Southern MVthodlst replaced Texas in the Southwest; Southern California ousted Washington State on the Pacific Coast, and Nebraska dethroned Kansas in the Big Six.

In the east, where no generally recognized champion can be expected, Bucknell finished with the best record this season. In the slim schedule this week two games stand out. Army and Navy will renew their ancient rivalry in the Yankee Stadium Saturday for the benefit of the unemployed. At Los Angeles, Southern California, making its last stand before the Rose Bowl game, will tackle the powerful Georgia Bulldogs. HOW TO GO CRAZY Figures, of course, do not He- much.

And it was on the basis of figures we had been thinking Southern California would beat Tulane. It seems, however, that Tulane Is 104 points better than the Trojans. Here's how i' works: Tulane beat Vanderbiit by 19 poiii'ls. VandirbiH defeated Ohio Stale by 5 points. Ohio State bested Michigan by 13 points.

Michigan outdid Wisconsin by 16 points Wisconsin was 7 points better than Purdue and Purdue was that many points better than Northwestern. Northwestern beat the University el California at Los Angeles by 19 points. U. C. L.

A. beat St. Mary's by 12 points. Now then, St. Mary's defeated the University of Southern California by 6 points.

Add them up and you get 104 points. Okay, now that's settled. WHOA! But wait! How is that settled? Southern California really ought to beat Tulane, 171 to 0. Certainly! Funny we didn't think of that sooner. And, as a couple of Carolina governors were wont to say, here's how: Southern California beat Oregon by 53 points.

Oregon beat U. C. A. by 7 points. U.

C. L. A. beat Florida 13 points. Florida actually defeated North Carolina State 34 to 0.

North Carolina State amazed the grid world by beating Duke by 14 points. And Duke not to be outdone, beat Kentucky by 7 points. Well, Kentucky turned right around and played the vaunted Tennessee Vols a tie game. Tennessee beat Alabama by 25 paints, Alabama beat Mississippi by 49 points, If you add that up correctly, you get the indisputable fact that Southern California is 202 points better than Mississippi, and It's Just as well that Mississippi isn't playing in the Rose Bowl this year, for that certainly would be one big afternoon, LET'S SEE NOW But Tulane was only 31 better than that same Mississippi team. So I guess you take.31 away from 202 and the result gives you Southern California's margin over scant 171 points.

Now, let's see what we havo here. Tulane should shade Southern California by 104 points and Southern California ought to nose out Tulane, 171-0. There's something wrong with the figures somewhere wonder when: -that mistake comes see now, 104 plus 104 is 208 minus 149 is 59 plus I Where's that other sheet o.f paper?

Sixteen respective district scholastic champions went to the post in bi-district competition Friday and Saturday and eight fell from the running when Abilene beat Sweetwater 12 to Austin whipped El Paso 12 to Harlingen dropped Corpus Christ! for a 32 to 0 defeat; Fort Worth Central beat Oak Cliff 12 to Greenville eliminated Sherman 20 to Beaumont stopped Houston's John Reagan 13 to 12; Lubbock erased Qimnah and Corsicana turned the field of a new champion by defeating the Tyler LlonjT, 1930 champions, 19 to 0. No Upsets While two of the favorites failed to win lost week, their defeats could not be termed startling upsets. Harlingen's victory over Corpus Christl was not looked for, Beaumont's win from the powerful John Reagan team of Houston was a slight jolt.

The most startling football of the week was turned in by Lubbock In District One. Due to a three-way tie at th econcluslon of the regular district schedule, Lubbock had to play two district and one bi-district game last week. The Westerners beat Tampa and Amar- lllo to win the district crown, caught a train for Quanah and Saturday walloped the Indians 20 to 0. The Lubbock "iron men" battle Abilene this week in a fourth hard game in twelve days. The Corsicana Tigers, one of the outstanding favorites of the eight contenders, were impressive beating Tyler.

They meet Austin Saturday at Corsicana. Tills is the only game in which a definite site has been selected. Sites for the following quarter-final bl-district games will be named early this week: Pairings Lutabock (Dist. 1) vs. Abilene (Dist.

3.) Ft. Worth (Dist. 5) vs. Greenville (Dist. 3).

Corsicana (Dist. 9) vs. Austin (Dist. 12) at Corsicana, Beaumont (Dist. 14) vs.

Harlingen (Dist. 16). High school critics who have trailed and observed their teams closely this season, are predicting that Corsicana, now that it has eliminated Tyler, will find smooth sailing into the finals in the lower bracket, but that the upper bracket of Lubbock, Abilene, Port Worth Central and Greenville, all powerful teams, is a tossup. The Lubbock and Abilene game this week is the Abilene has been to the state finals several times and formerly held tr.3 championship. Lubbock's leat of winning three major games last week won many supporters for the Westerners.

The Greenville Lions smashed an old rival Saturday in the Sherman team, 20 to 0. At the same time, Fort Worth Central turned in a powerful running and passing game to smother the Oak Cliff Leopards at Dallas, 21 to 7.

They just couldn't win, the Christians were too well coached lor they hired the Christians' coach.

That was several years ago, and the Aggies have been getting along quite well, thanks to the former Christian coach. They think so much of him that the other day. A- and M. College rehlred him on a five- year contract. And just to make sure he wouldn't sell out on them after that, they took an indefinite option on his services after that.

But, after his unhnppy 1931 record, when ho batted out less than 15 homo runs and hit nbout 100 points under his 1030 mark, there appear to be no takers.
