ELEVEN HI TEAMS BUMPED IN WEEK

Elimination Fast Weeding Out Weaker Teams

Austin, Tex. Nov. 3rd - Reports of high school games from every section of Texas continue to flow into the University of Texas Interscholastic League bureau in unprecedented numbers, demonstrating the vastness of the undertaking. School authorities are cooperating as never before with league officials in carrying out the football plan, realizing that only by some such prograzm can a real state championship be determined. The fact that eleven teams have been bumped off the band wagon the past week, and that championships are already in sight in each of the twelve sections, shows the thoroughness with which the scheme is organized.

What is believed to be a record, so far as high school football games in Texas are concerned, was made in the game at Del Rio, when Hondo eliminated the home team from championship possibilities by winning 6 to 3. The unusual feature of the game was that all of the scoring was accomplished by drop kicks. Had it not been for a strong wind blowing, that caused a fourth kick to miss goal by inches, Del Rio would have tied the count in the last few minutes of play.

The teams eligible to play for various sectional championships follow:

Section 1 - Amarillo, Canyon, Childress, Shamrock
Section 2 - Abilene, Breckenridge, Brownwood, Comanche
Section 3 - Big Spring
Section 4 - Electra, Fort Worth (North Side High)
Section 5 - Dallas (Forest Avenue), Greenville, Honey Grove, Sherman
