CHAMBER HEARD GAS
TAX REPORT FRIDAY
Cecil McClain, who had
made a check into the alloca
tion of igas tax funds while on
a recent trip to Juneau, made
Ms report at the Friday lunch
eon of the Chamber of Com
merce.
It appeared that those cities
who each year presented a re
quest for harbor pro jets or iim
provements were the ones
which reiceived available funds
he stated. The tax is derived
froim three sources — (1) cars
and trucks, the (funds from
which is earmarked for roads;
(2) boats, the funds from which
is earmarked for harbor im
provements; and (3) planes,
the funds from which is ear
marked if or airports. Under a
plan approved (by the last leg-1
islature, the funds derived as
taxes from each group is de
voted to use in that category
allone, and one fund cannot
borrow from another.
However, the catch is that
the legislature did not pass a
bill requiring that the funds
derived as taxes from a given
locality be allocated to that
area only. Hence it appears
that the cities or communities
which “squeak the loudest”;
get the funds.

the names of those included
without trouble, as they loom
large in the history of the game.
Such figures as Knute Rockne,
Alonzo A. Staigig, Pop Warner,
Bob Zuppke and Fielding Yost,
just as a starter.
And just in case you might
think that to be great a coach
must have belonged to the dim
ming past it might be mention
ed that many still active are
rated in the “great” category.
Bud Wilkinson Of Oklahoma,
Earl Blaik of Army, Lou Little
of Columbia. Jim Tatum of
Maryland and Bobby Dodd of
Georgia Tech, to name a few.
Pope artfully has stressed
the human side of the men who
have been chosen, and in so do
ing has done the profession a
favor by dispelling a too com
mon idea that college football
coaches are a heartless group
driving spllinted and splintered
youths mercilessly in a quest
for personal glory.
The weaknesses are not gloss
led over in an attempt to bring
1 a false picture of these autumn
celebrities. If a coach was a
taskmaster, Pope says he was a
taskmaster. If he had a bitinlg.
sarcastic tongue, Pope says he
had a biting, Sarcastic tongue.
The stoicism oi jock autner
land, the pessimism of “Gloomy
Gill” Doibie, Dodd’s overwhelm
ing desire to be the best at
anything he undertakes, the
Jekyll-Hyde personality of
Frank Leahv on and off the

ed. with pointed examples.
Howard Jones was a prodig
eous competitor, stern and un
compromising, yet he told a
rival player. Bobby Grayson, to

Stagg’s contributions to the

grand old man did. The reverse j

Blaik is termed “the metron

stresser of competitive spirit so
respected by his players that
when Army’s third team was
in against an outclassed opfpon

guard stole the ball, sprinted
to within one yard of the goal, j

TEXAS A&M WINS GAMES
BUT CAN’T PLAY IN BOWL
by The Associated Press
Texas A&M won’t pfllay in
any bowl game this year, but
no matter what happens be
tween now and the end of the j
season. the amazing Aggies j
certainly will (go down as thej
surprise of the 1955 college,
football! season.
Most of the September hot
shots have faded and the top
teams are (beginning to seek!
their own level as the cam
paign swings into the second
halif. But the sophomore-laden
Aggies, winners of only one
game last year, persist in as
tounding their opposition in
the soutrwest conference —
perhaps the roughest league in
the country.
Bear Bryant s lads were pe- |
nalized by the conference for I
recruiting too vigorously and
one of their ipun'ishimenis was
being barred from post-season
competition this year. That
didn’t bother Bryant because
even he thouight his team was
a year or two away.
The Aggies still have four
SWC games left on their sche
dule starting with Arkansas
this Saturday. Then, on suc
cessive weeks, they play South
ern Metholiist, Rice and Tex
as. Nothing is certain of
course, in this Upset-happy
loop, but as George Sauer,
whose Baylor club took a 19-7
pasting last Saturday said:
‘T don't see who can stop
them.”
Most oif the other conferen
ces are going according to form
with the possible exception of
the southeastern. Auburn one
of the few remaining major un
beatens is riding atop the
standings despite a tie with
Kentucky, and Georgia Tech,
the favorite, is no better titan
fourth.
Here’s how the other major
conferences stand:
Pacific Coast — UCLA, the
choice, is riding high, the only
unbeaten, untied teom in lea
gue (play. The UCLAns have
been beaten only by Maryland
and have clear sailing until
Nov. 19 when they pll'ay South
ern California in a game that
could decide the title.
Big 10 — Michigan, another
favorite, is out front, but its
14-13 squeaker over Minnesota
last Saturday gave a measure
of encouragement to Ohio State
which all but Eliminated Wis
consin 26-16. Michigan and
Ohio State meet on Nov. 19,
and that could decide the
crown.
mg ( — (jKiianoma todK care
, of Colorado, the only team fig
I ured to give it a run, 5(5-21.
The Sooners now have won 24
in a row and the end isn't, in
sight. About the onily consola
tion Colorado gets is the fact
that Okalhoroa is noit permit
ted to go to the Orange Bowl
two years in a row, so maybe
Colorado can go next year.
Atlantic Coast conference —
; Maryland seeims certain to sail
! through undefeated and untied
; and play Oklahoma in the Or
’ ange Bowl. Duke still has a
chance, but does not meet Ma
i ryland. The Blue Devils’ 26-7
loss to Pitt ruined their perfect
! record.
Ivy League — Yale was rat
ed No. 1 at the start but has
been unaSble to shake Prince
ton. They’re tied for the lead,
and meet Nov. 12. Yale was
toppled from the undefeated
ranks Saturday via a 7-0 de
feat at the hands of Cdigate,
an independent that has whip
ped four Ivy League teams.
