Let’s go swimming today. Sure
and its a hit nippish but don’t
be a piker. The actual swimm-
ing will take place this summer.
All we’re talking about today
is the proposal that Sweetwater
be host to the state AAIJ meet
in August, or thereabouts. Hom-
er Williams, vice president of
toe slate AAU for this district;,
tells us the meet is ours if we
want it. That, was settled at the
state convention last fall.
When the state meets
were parceled out to the
different Texas cities, Wil-
liams asked for tho swim-
ming events, and was pro-
mised that Sweetwater
could have this division if
the city and the sports lead-
ers want litem. The time is
arriving when a decision
must, lie reached, and Wil-
liams is sounding out the
possibility of a formal in-
vitation for these water
events.
An amateur swimming meet
is a nice exhibition. It ha- been
discussed informally that Sweet-
water might hold It’s evnt in
eonjiinrtio: wiiii the water ear-
nival. but that (w ent was made I
definite only this week a d lias
i not been completely planned. j
One own Tex Robertson, at-1
i though a professional, should j
lie invited as a guest to attend
the meet, and perhaps would
take an aetive part in arrange-
ments. It's something to think
about, and sounds like a big
boost to Sweetwater as the “Re-
creation (enter of West ’lev
1 as ” *
We haven't said much about
a physical ed building this week
but we are hoping that, sports
fans and officials will come to
our Friday round-table at the
] Bankhead cafe with some con
| crete suggestion for this enter
i prise. Now is the time to plan a
drive if it is to tie productive
by next winter, when basket-
hall, volley ball and other in-
door sports get underway.
Likewise, baseball. What-
ever the sports tans de-
sire in Bits regard, wo arc
with them. If ihec ’ike the
idea of a ;emi-pru Fags - for
the Sweetwater trade terri-
tory, we will do what ve
call to encourage tip* Fa,
of the outlying district a
well as the local ones to
gel steamed up. It will lie a
good time to think of' tin
proposal when the i ig lea

urge if anything will.
Chicago Welter

NEW YORK — (UP) — Milt
Aron, Chicago welterweight,

WHIZZER WHITE
CAN’T BE BUSHED
BOULDER, Colo. — (UP)—
If the Pittsburgh Pirates Pro-
fessional too.hail team must
have Ryroii (Wlii/.zer) White's
answer by Friday to their 815,-
1100 offer to play with them this
year, it's “no," the University
of Colorado's All-American star
and Rhodes scholar declares. .
“I just haven’t had time to
think over the offer," he said,
after writing manager Ait Roon-
ey of the Pirates that, the Felt.
IK “deadline” hadn't allowed hint
sufficient time to decide.

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. — (UP)
—Manager Mickey Cochrane of
the Detroit Tigers announces
that his active playing days as
