THE GRASS BURR
WEDNESDAY, MAY 11, 1949
Doc's Dope Bucket
BY DOC LYNCH
Highlighting this week’s athletic
activities are the softball scrim-
mages that are held nearly every
day at Cherry Park. The boys us-
ually have a round of batting prac-
tice, then a game. In one game last
week a group of boys and -the two
coaches defeated the “A” softball
team to the tune of 14 to 4. The
team entered the county tourna-
ment last Saturday.
P. E. classes are playing softball
practically every day. Melvin Wylie
is recovering from a broken leg re-
ceived in one of these games.
A new backstop has been erected
at Cherry Park and it helps out
very much. Plans are to have a
basketball court and playground
equipment at the park too. With
this and the new swimming pool
we should have a good time during
our summer holidays.
Jack Johnson, ex of Weatherford
High, is doing good on the Indep-
endent Weatherford baseball team.
He plays second base and is a dan-
gerous man on the base paths.
Here’s hoping that the citizens of
Weatherford get behind their home
town Junior College. If Ranger can
make their Junior College a success
I see no reason why ours cannot be
put over. It will ruin the plans of
lots of seniors who intended to go
to Weatherford Junior College af-
ter their graduation, if it is permit-
ted to close.
MILLSAP UP ON TOP

therford Saturday, May 7. Millsap

therford, Peaster, Aledo, Poolville.
Poolville and Springtown dropped
out just before the tournament.
Weathei’ford won second place and
Peaster third.
Two New Rulings Affected
AA and B Schoolboy Football
Thor, God of Thunder,
Bedford, God of Lightning
According to Sherwood
Sherwood Beasley, manager of
Weatherford High School football
team, thinks that Jack Bedford is
as fast as greased lightning.
During a recent thunderstorm
Sherwood went outside of the gym-
nasium to shut some windows
where the rain was coming in.
Sherwood was working against
time and the arrival of Coach Em-
mons.
Sherwood finally succeeded in
closing the windows and while mak-
ing a mad dash for the door of the
gym he collided with Jack Bed-

Screaming loudly, “I was struck

the gym to the protecting side of
Coach Emmons.

Youngest Member of
lunior Class, Is 14
Lawrence Bierschenk, youngest j
member of the Junior Class was 14
on November 4.
He started to school at Herring
Hightower. After two weeks in the

Several new rulings will go into
effect next year in City Conference,
AA, and B class schoolboy football.
The first is the bringing back of
spring training. This ruling, how-
ever, does not go into effect until
1950. Spring training will last 40
calendar days, starting anytime
after. January 1. Fall training
would then start September 1, in-
stead of the present August 15.
The other rule is that if a boy is.
found accepting money for the
playing of sports while still in
high school, he is suspended one
year, instead of the rest of his
high school years.
BILL SMITH DOESN'T EAT
WHEATIES BUT WINS FIGHTS
