Rough ‘SO Schedule Confronts
“Fars” At Oklahoma A. And M.
STILLWATER, July 29.—Coach J. B. W hitworth sends Oklahoma A. & M. into its
49th geason of varsity football this autumn against top opposition from three Confer
ences, the Missouri Valley, Southwest and Big Seven.
Fresh from an 11-year regime
at University of Georgia where he
teamed successfully with Wally
Butts, Coach Whitworth launches
his first year at A. & M. with'a
building job of major proportions
on his hands. ;
Whitworth inherits a rough, 11-
game schedule that is major league
from epener to Thanksgiving, a
newly-enlarged major league sta
dium of 40,000 capacity — but only
13 lettermen and a varsity squad
numbering a scant 40 men, about
half the usual complement of can
didates.
Building up his manpower pool,
therefore, is Whitworth’s prob
lem. The Aggies have the stadium
and the opponents. . 3
A. & M. opens with Arkansas at
Little Rock the night of Septem
ber 23 and then faces Texas Chris
tion, Drake, Southern Methodist,
Kansas, Missouri, Tulsa, Wichita,
Detroit, Kansas State and Okla
homa University on successive
Saturdays through December 2.
Well-meaning friends of A. & M.
have taken one look at the sched
ule, shuddered, then tip-toed
quickly out of the room. It would
seem that everybody but the Ag
gies themselves seems prone to
feel sorry for the cowpokes.
Of his light squad, Coach Whit~
worth says, “There isn’t anything
we can do about those unfilled
football suits except hang them on
the peg until we've got the boys
to fill them.
“In the meantime, we'll go to
bat with what we've got and we've
got an eager, willing bunch of kids
that ¥ believe will be the kind of
scrappers it takes to make football
interesting.”
Whitworth is the 12th coach to
tackle the A. & M. post in the 49
years ¢f the sport at Stillwater.-
The preceding 11 have seen their
teams win 188, lose 185, and tie
31 of the 404 games played.
Most successful Aggies mentors
and their won-lost-tied marks
have been Paul J. Davis (Dickin
son graduate ) 27-15-1 from 1909
through 1914; John F. Maulbetsch
(Michigan) 28-37-6 from 1921 to
1928; Lynn O. Waldorf (Syracuse)
34-10-7 from 1929. to. 1933 and
Whitworth’s immediate successor,
Jim Lookabaugh, A. & M. alumnus,
58-41-6 from 1939 to 1949,
From the heights of the Sugar
Bowl championship January 1,
1946, A. & M.s all-time peak in
football, until the present, A, & M.
has won 16, lost 22 and tied three,
a losing pace the Aggies hope to
overcome in the new rebuilding
program launched now by Whit
worth.
Alumni support, through season
ticket purchases, is regarded as
one major objective as the Aggies
present TCU, Missouri, Detroit,
Kansas State and Oklahoma in
Stillwater games,

Fishing With 1
Electricity ‘
Called lilegal
COLUMBIA, 8. C, July 29—
(AP)—lt may be the easy way to
land the big ones, but fishing with
electricity is illegal.
That's the word from the state
attorney general’s office, by way
of the State Game Department.
The department has had several
reports of this unsportsmanlike
practice in the Savannah river and
in Piedmont streams.
Electrical devices and equip
ment, powered by portable bat
teries, are dropped into the wa
ter. The current is turned on, and
the fish come to the top—dead or
stunned. It's no trouble to dip
them up.
Poachers’ Trick
Department officials, shocked by
this new-fangled poachers’ trick,
told game wardens to reel in any
one caught at it,
Chief Game Warden A. A.
Richardson said the first reports
on electrical angling came last
Wednesday from Georgia authori
ties. They spied South Carolinians
and Georgians giving fish jolts
with volts in the Savannah river
near Elberton, Ga. . °
Richardson promptly asked the
attorney general’s office if any
state laws covered the situation.
Section 1770 of the code can b 2
used to bring offenders to court,
Assistant Attorney General James
S. Verner wrote back.
This section lays down the law
sgainst roisoning or blasting fish.
Then it says: “The muddying of
€an be eontrolied Hprop;fly pro':ciod.m vs before It Is too late.

STANDINGS SHIFTED
IN TWO “Y” LEAGUES
Action in both the Cub and the
Indian Leagues at the Athens
YMCA this weekend saw things
change as far as standings go and
an upset victory by the Indian
cellar team.
The driving Hardrocks of the
Cub League are still hot on the
trail of the first place slot in their
league as they unseated the league
leading Crackers yesterday by a
score of 4-3. The win put the pre
vious cellar team into the second
place slot and if they continue to
hammer that ball in the way that
they have heen it shouldn’t be
too long before they become first
in their class.
Led by good hitting on the part
of more than holf of the team, the
winning Hardrocks collected seven
safe hits off the opposing staff
and touched the losing team for
three walks. Carlton James and
“Slugger” Smith did the main part
of the stick work as they both col
lected two safe blows and scored
two and one run respectively. The
other run was successfully put
across by Hiram Peeler who got
one hit and brought home the win
ning touch. Emory Lavender and
“Speedy” Doster worked on the
Crax moundsmen for one hit
apiece but could not get in off the
base paths.
The Crackers barely missed
copping the winning honors as
they showed up on the losing end
of the 4-3 victory. Led by Tommy
Byrd, Ronny Payne, David Inglis
and Bill Ferguson, they were suc
cessful for three hits and scored
on all but one of them which Fer
guson made up for when he
crossed on a error made afield.
Indian League action saw the
cellar team of that league also
make a bid to get off the floor as
they slid by the league leaders by
a 12-11 count.
Dick Ferguson proved vital in
the clutch for the Bulldogs when
he slammed out a homer with one
man aboard and thus edged the
Eagles onto the wrong side of the
scoreboard.
In all the Dogs got fifteen hits
and drew four free passes to aid
them in their second win of the
season. Besides Ferguson’s mighty
game winning blow, he also gath
ered in a perfect day’s average
when he hit four times safely for
four attempts, with two of these
being homers. Other hits and runs
for the Dogs were made and scored
by Johnny Biggs, who crossed
twice, and Walter Glenn, who
came in three times, once on a
four base blow.
e T R
For the Eagles, who have had a
safe margin in their lead on the
other Indian League teams since
the beginning of the summer sea
son, it seems to have been an off
day. They were successful for
nine hits off the Dog pitcher and
were not walked at all. Big men
at the plate for the losers were
Bobby Hunt, Daniel Glasner, Lin
ton Dunson, Ronny Lampkin, and
Phil Hames who all crossed the
plate at least once during the af
fair,

. Makes Fish Sick
“Certainly,” Verner advised
Richardson, “the introduction of
the electric equipment into the
stream makes the fish sick.and
kills them, which is the very thing
the legislature sought to prevent.
“This particular matter seems
never to have been before any of
the appelate courts of this coun

of taking fish and for that reason
the courts have had no occasion to
pass upon the question. We exam

Vie Wertz’s Hitting
K Ti OnTop
DETROIT, July 29.— (AP) —Outfielder Vie Wertz’s big
bat kept the Detroit Tigers atop the American League race
Saturday as he slammed a homer and two doubles to en
able them to come from behind and nip the Philadelphia
Athletics, 8-5.
The Tigers, trailing 4-0 when
the scoreboard showed that both
Cleveland and the Yankees had
won today, staged an uphill bat
tle to protect their slender half
tg)ame lead in the pennant scram
le.
Wertz’s 19th homer was his
fourth in three days as he drove
three runs to run his RBI total
to 92.
The A’s grabbed an early four
run lead as they mauled starting
pitcher Teddy Gray, who failed
for the fourth time in his bid for
win No. 11.
Two hits and a walk figured in
a two run second inning and the
AD’s added two more in the third
as relief pitcher Carl Scheib and
Eddie Joost homered consecutive
ly to make it 4-0. It was Scheib’s
first and No. 12 for Joost. .
Gray and relief pitcher Marlin
Stuart pitched two-hit ball over
the last six innings with. Stuart
getting the victory, his frist decis
ion of the year.
The Tigers finally made it a
four-all game in the seventh and
broke it wide open with a four
run, four-hit eighth to move out
in front 8-4.
Relief pitchers Hank Wyse and
Lou Brissie bore the brunt of that
big rally with Wyse being charged

The Browns had tempered the
effect of the Senators’ big inning
with a four-run rally of their own
in the third.
Ken Wood batted in what prov
