CONFWINCE PLAY OPENS HERE FRIDAY NIGHT
Tahoka Whips Lobos 73-68
VBK LEVEIXAND DAILY SUN NCT/I, LevaDmnd. Trau, Wednesday. January I, INI
rA«>'
By AUBREY MAYS
The Levelland Lobos performed
brilliantly at times, but not con-
sistently enough to win, as they
fell before the Tahoka Bulldogs in
Tahoka Tuesday night, 73-68.
The Lobos were behind by 14
points at the end of the first quar-
ter, 11 points at the half, and only
two points at the end of three
quarters.
The Tahoka court was without
doubt the smallest court the Lobos
have played on this season. This
possibly accounted for the slow-
ness the Lobos had in getting start-
ed.
The Bulldogs had poured in eight
points before Larry Corbin finally
connected on a field goal to put
the Lobos in the scoring column.
Fouls also hurt the Lobos in the
early stages of the game with
Chester Jackson picking up four
fouls in the first quarter alone.
Jackson never-had. to leave the
ball-game on fouls but Corbin and
Oehrlein were lo6t in the fourth
quarter when the score was just
close enough for the loss to hurt
the Lobos.
Mack Freeman was the leading
scorer for the Lobos with 22 points
but had to take a back seat to
Junior Fitts, a six feet four inch
center for the Bulldogs, who netted
29 points for game honors.
In the , first quarter Freeman
and Corbin hit four points each and
Jdckson had three to account for
the Lobos1 eleven points.
Fitts hit 10 points in the first
quarter while his four teammates
chipped in 15 to put the score at
the end of the first quarter ai
25-14.
In the second quarter l-awaync
Rawls, reserve Lobo guard, check-
ed into the game and led the entire
court in field goals with three for
six points in the second period.
Freeman hit six points on a pair
from the floor and two from the
foul line and Corbin chipped in a
pair of free throw's to give Level-
land a 14 point effort for the sec-
ond quarter. The Bulldogs poured
11 points in during the second per-
iod and the halftime score stood
at 36-25.s
The third quarter was the amaz-
ing part of the ball game Level-
land-wise. Led by Tommy Oehr-
Jein’s 10 points, the Lobos chunked
in 22 points during that period and
held the Bulldogs to 13.
Rawls connected with a long
shot as the quarter began and
Fitts countered with a hook for
the Bulldogs. Oehrlein got the next
one from under the basket and
once again it was Fitts who coun-
tered.
Corbin and Rawls hit one each
to give the I-obos four and Garland
Huddleston hit two from the field
to even things up again.
Then the Lobos caught fire w-ith
SPORTS ROUNDUP:
Archie Moore Conducts Own Drive
For Opportunity to Fight Marciano
By ED CORRIGAN
(For Gayle Talbot)
NEW YORK (B Archie Moore,
who wants to fight Rocky Marciano
for the heavyweight championship,
is eager if nothing else. He’s been
conducting a one-man campaign to
get a title shot, and a long tele-
gram we have in hand signed by
Archie proclaims he has spent
thousands of dollars in the process.
He says he figured he would get
the run-around so he decided to
conduct his own campaign. As for
the other contenders: Don Cockell
“A nonentity”: Nino Valdez-
"handled him like a schoolboy”:
Marciano- "I know I cpn whip
him.” Fighting words.
Report from Tug Wilson, United
States Olympic chieftain:
“We’re much better off in every
way for the 1956 Olympics than we
were a similar stage of the '52
games> I don’t think there ever
was more interest. Right now, our
big problem is to perk up in sports
we don’t specialize in like Greco-
Roman wrestling. Some of the
other countries are becoming so
proficient at our specialties like
track and field that we’ve got to
improve in other sports to stay
up with them in the over-all
picture.”
Former Champ Says
Trainer Career Out
By JOE MOOSHIL
CHICAGO UP—“I’m having a lot
of luck with these boys but a I
career a* a fight trainer is out.” |
That was Joe Louis, former
world’s heavyweight boxing cham-
pion, talking.
Louis' stock as a fight trainer
skyrocketed the last couple of
weeks after his tips to Paul An-
The coming indoor track season
would get a king-sized shot in the
arm if the Russians permit Vladi-
mir Kuc, their world 5,000metor
record holder, to run here. Dan
Ferris, the AAU’s chief' inviter of
foreigners, said he's afraid he may
have invited Kuc too late. But he
had to wait until he received clear-
ance to tender the invitation. It
would be interesting to see Kuc
hook up with Horace Ashenfelter,
the FBI man, who probably could
run from here to Moscow without
taking a second breath.

Favorites won initial victories
Tuesday night as Southwest Con-
ference title warfare broke out on
three basketball fronts.
Arkansas, out in front most of
the first half, finally bowed to
Texas Christian 62-67. Southern
Methodist whipped the Texas Long-
horns 75-51 in the most decisive of
the three games, and Rice, score-
less the first five minutes, coasted
to a 61-41 victory over Texas A&M.

points tox lead Texas Christian past
the fighting Razorbacks with 11
field goals and 16 free throws. The
Razorbacks held the edge at the

Rotarians at their Tuesday luqch

and got an intimate view of some

or embarrasing moments in their
lives.
It was Re,if. Don Davidson, pas-
tor of the First Methodist Church,
who told the hilarious story of wan-
dering into the wrong home while
he was conducting a revival in
Midland.
Once inside the house and sus-
picioning his mistake, he turned
on the light and heard the voice
of a woman calling from what he
supposed was his bedroom, ”Is
that you Don?”
Davidson said he answered that
it was, then walked to the bed-
scored 20 points and teamed with*’room door to discover his mistake.

The newly-voted Van Zandt
County Water Control and Im-
provement. District proposes to
build a dam at a point known as
Iron Bridge on the Sabine River.
The Sabine Authority also plans
a dam there and questions the
ability of a local water district
to build an adequate one.
The issue is whether a Texas
river authority can take control
over developing a watershed or
whether it must permit local polit-
ical subdivisions to participate
when they want to.
John W. Simmons of Orange,
president of the Sabine authority,
said his group will take the matter
to the Supreme Court if necessary.
The Van Zandt district is within
the coi-porate limits of Wills Point,
a town of 1,000 located 50 miles
east of Dallas.
The State Board of Water Engi-
neers has set a hearing in Austin
Feb. 20 on the Iron Bridge con-
troversy. —
The City of Dallas has been
negotiating with the Sabine author-
ity for a share of the water from

build.

McCarthy Worried
OverFarmJncome
WASHINGTON, (ft - Sen. Mc-
Carthy (R-Wis) said today that
unless something is done to boost
farm income, the Republican
party may faye disaster in the 1956
elections.
He told newsmen:
“Victory (for the Republicans) in
1956 will depend on whether we
can bring the farmers close to 100
per cent of parity,” he said. “If
the farm income keeps dropping,
it can't help but get us into a
depression. It is at the lowest point
now since 1941."
McCarthy has been critical of
a number of aspects of Eisenhower
administration farm policy—parti-
cularly of the decision by Secretary
of Agriculture. Benson to lower
price supports on dairy products
last April lo the lowest level per-
mitted by farm law, 75 per cent
of parity. The maximum is 90 per
cent.
