TIE GAMES SLOW UP ELIMINATION

High School Teams Urged To Decide Sectional Championships

By Roy B. Henderson

AUSTIN, Oct. 30 - Reports of high school football games reaching the University Interscholastic League for the week ending Saturday show an unusual number of tie games. Many of these ties are with undefeated teams, and this fact makes it all the more necessary for a definite plan to be followed in future games in order that the various sectional championships may be decided not later than November 18th. According to one of the rules of the plan, intersectional games must begin the week of November 20th. The tie games which delay the sectional championships are: Atlanta 0 Tyler 0; Del Rio 0 Eagle Pass 0; and Bonham 6 Denison 6. Other tie games were: Plainview 13 Paducah 13; Port Arthur 7 Houston Heights 7; Brownwood 13 San Angelo 13. Two surprises were uncovered in Masonic Home's 14 to 13 win over Denton, and Floydada's 13 to 12 victory over Lubbock.

The league has suggested a series of games in each section whereby the various championships may be decided at the earliest possible date, and all schools concerned are expected to cooperate fully. In most cases it means that these tie games should be played over next week.

The undefeated teams listed by sections follow:

Sec. 1 - Amarillo, Canadian, McLean, Pampa.
Sec. 2 - Floydada, Plainview.
Sec. 3 - Abilene, Ranger, San Angelo, Stamford.
Sec. 4 - Ft Worth (North Side), Wichita Falls.
Sec. 5 - Bonham, Dallas (Forest Ave), Denison.
Sec. 6 - Atlanta, Paris, Sulphur Springs, Texarkana, Tyler.
Sec. 7 - Midland, Pecos.
Sec. 8 - Comanche, Junction.
Sec. 9 - Marlin, Milford, Teague, Waco.
Sec. 10 - Livingston, Nacogdoches, Palestine.
Sec. 11 - Del Rio, Eagle Pass, Hondo.
Sec. 12 - Austin, Giddings, Temple, San Antonio (Brackenridge), Smithville, Taylor.
Sec. 13 - Bryan.
Sec. 14 - Beaumont (South Park), Beaumont, La Porte, Port Arthur.
