without the necessity of the seventh
game. The Athletics must win to-
night if they stay in the running.
Both Sweetwater teams are on
tile "spot" tonight. Heretofore, the
Athletics have been the only play-
ers pinched by the necessity of a
win. But botli will be fighting for
a victory this evening, in the only
game carded for the night.
May Go 7 Games
Unless the Oilers win. the series
will be extended to seven games,
with Gull placing their opportun-
ity to annex the title on the block.
The Athletics must win tonight or
concede the championship to the
Oilers.
The Athletics succeeded last
Monday evening to stop the five-
game winning streak which carried
the Oilers through die premilinary
rounds and enable them to mark
up three straight games over the
As in Uie championship series.
Miller To Pitch
Last Monday night the Athletics
discovered they hud a pitcher in
Poster Miller. Miller had been play-
ing in the outfield, watching Ver-
non Wright and Davis Clark chunk
them into the Oilers, only to see
the Refinery crew blast the pellet
to practically ever sector in the
park, He asked for a chance to try
his hand — and iic lias delivered.
The question is, can he run his
| string of consecutive victories to
| three and keep his team in the
running? He will likely be given the
chance to try tonight.

Tiny Hays of San Angelo, father
of Harry Hays, that fleet-footed
Bobcat backfleki star, was in Sweet-
water this week with the cheering
news that Harry was recovering
from injuries suffered in an auto-
mobile crack-up several weeks ago
in Dallas. Harry and a San An-
golo physician were in Dallas on a
day when a gangster, having pulled
a hold-up, rammed his car into the
San Angeloan’s machine in his
flight from officers. Hays suffer-
ed severe injuries and it was at j
lirst feared he would not be able 1
ever to don another football uni-
form.
But Tiny says libs son has com-
pletely recovered from the injuries
and barring further accidents Har-
ry will be ready to go when the
Bobcats open their fall football
campaign. The father believes his
son will be faster on the gridiron
ns fall than at iny time in his
career. And that is not so cheering
to other teams in the Oil Belt. For
Harry was plenty fast last season
and it was too bad if he ever got
into an open spot on the field. The
parent said his son may not be
any faster, but lie’s a lot smarter
than he was last, season — he
knows how to change his pace,
spin, hesitate and in general make
himself more elusive,

Tiny Hays is perhaps one of the J
] best informed ‘laymen" in Oil Belt
j on tlie probable strength of every
learn. He opined that San Angelo
| might not set the new district afire
this fall, but, "the Bobcats arc go-
ing to have a good team." They will
have :i fair line and a fast, elusive
middle-weight backfield, lie said.
Heinie said ho thought Coaches
Harry Taylor and Tonlo Coleman
i were having their biggest, worry
finding one more good tackle.

The Breckenridge Buckaroos
could put a team on the field with
a line averaging about 177 pounds
to the man. according to a list of
players and their weights sent us
Wednesday by Sam Drake, sports
editor of the Breckenridge Amer-
ican. This line however would in-
dude Benny Hale Combs. 220-
pounder, not listed as a probable
. farting tackle. According to Drake.
Coach Eck Curtis will have four
lettermeft on the* line and two in
the backfield.

tain; Bill Ramsey, 178 and Dar-

ed backs arc James Magness. 1G5.

to present indications, the Bucks
I starting eleven will average 103
I pounds to the man; with 168-pound
: avetage on the line and 154-pound
; avi rage in the backfield. Chances
are all of these Bucks will gain con-
siderable weight before the start of
' Hie season. However, we hope none
of them get as big and as rugged
as Tackle O'Rear was last season.

Nolan County Rural High

For lhe first time in a decade
there will be no football in the
class B schools of Nolan County,
it lias been announced by coaches of
those schools.
The game has been found too
expensive in the rural high schools,
according to the school board mem-
bers. and tlie games that offer the
proper competition have been hard
to book.
Football in the class B schools
was started at Blackwell, with that
school turning out some fast teams

couple of years ago the school dis-
carded Die game m order to devote
