Utah Page 6 DECEMBER SPORTLIGHT Pennsylvania Has Top Gridiron Talent By GRANTLAND RICE NEW YORK If you want to writes size up a football team L.P.S., take a look at where most of the players come from. There's' the, answer. Teams that have many players from out of their own state were benefited by the heaviest proselyting, recruiting and subsidizing, as k rule. Did you notice that ;' ' jjj- a recent weu- - selected team, nine of the eleven men came from the north?

I'd say Pennsylvania could field a team that would outmatch any in the country, including Ohio and Texas. But one state can't take care of fifteen or twenty colleges. Or maybe many more. If any heavy cut Is made In footballs present system the loudest squawk will come from Texas. p. Texas has from 800 to 900 prep schools that go in seriously for football. These myriad schools supply , Texas, SMU, TCU, Rice, Baylor, Texas A. and M. and one or two others. The Texas athletic scholarship list is also heavy and if there Is any big reduction here Texas may secede again if not from the United States, at least from the N.C.A.A. Texas could lure in Arkansas and Oklahoma, and have all the fun and action wanted. Football in Texas is a civil war and the teams really go all out.- - The high schools in Texas battle it to the hilt from September to December. I dont know whether Texas has the phony courses for football players that so many other colleges have or not. I doubt it, since most of the complaints that have come this way havent blown in rom Texas.

Tm not a cripple. Gail felt her face redden a bit. She, too, was nervous and on edge. The rain had been so bad for the last week that no one had done anything but play cards. She turned her face from Ken. Im sorry he said. Gail turned abruptly, Bat, Ken, you know the doctor warned you about being on the lake. What If you should have an accident?
