ketball campaign rolled through
its first elimination process.
But only one defending state
champion has repeated as district
king and two others are in a hot
fight for a return to state play.
Lamesa, the 1960 Class AAA
champion, made it. Linden-Kil-
dare, defending champion of Class
AA, was in a playoff with Hughes
Springs for the district champion- known are:
ship.
McAdpo, the class B champ, is
currently embroiled in a playoff
with Jayton after winning t h e
round robin and losing the dis-
trict tournament.
South Park of Beaumont, the
Class AAAA champion, failed to
survive the district race. Hunt-
ington, the Class A champion,
dropped to Class B where it is
contending for a district title.

Raiders can
knock A&M
out of race
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Texas Tech meets Texas A&M
Tuesday night at College Station
•ble to virtually sew up the
Southwest Conference basketball
championship with a victory.
A Tech triumph would give it
M 8-1 record with five games to
go. It also would knock the Ag-
gies out of title contention.
Texas and Arkansas battle at
Fayetteville In another important
game Tuesday night. The winner
will remain in the championship
race.
Texas, Arkansas and Texas
A&M all are tied for second place

other conference games Tuesday
night.
The long-hitting Miami muscle-
man defeated Doug Sanders by
three strokes in a playoff Monday
to cop the Phoenix Open cham-
pionship, his second in six tourna-
ments, and mark the fourth time
this season he had finished among
the top five money winners.
At this time a year ago, Palmer
had lined up with the first five at
the pay window only once. That
was when he won the Palm
Springs title. He wound up the
year with eight championships and
official prize money totaling more
than $75,000.
Playing with the aggressive,
chance-taking style which Jias
stamped him as the great-
est finisher. Palmer went after
Sanders early. He took the lead
with a birdie on the second hole
and never relinquished it.
After both players, tied at the
end of the regulation 72 holes at
270, bogied the first hole, Palmer
fired nothing but pars and bird-
ies. He came in with a three-un-
der-par 67 in spite of a one-stroke
penalty for an unplayable lie in
the top of a palm tree on No. 18.
He recovered for a par 5 on that
one.
Class AAAA—Ysleta Bel Air,
Midland, Denton, Lufkin, Beau-
mont. Austin, San Antonio Har-

WILDCATS
Final tilts due
On the home front the South
Plains Texans take on Claren-
don Junior College here in a
conference game and the Lev-
elland Lobos travel to Little-
field to put the wraps on their
cage season.
Cage action Tuesday night
finds four area teams in ac-
tion but only one game has
meaning as far as a district
title is concerned.
The Ropesville Eagles can
take the 8-B title outright with
a victory over New -Home at
Ropesville tonight or they can
back into the throne room if
Union can spill Wellman to-
night.
Also in i-B the Whiteface
Antelopes meet Meadow. Oth-
er area games find Morton
taking on Abernathy in 2-AA
and Plains playing at Sun-
down in 5-A. Abernathy and
Plains have already won their
district titles.
While the Lobos are playing
the winless Wildcats the 1-AAA
race comes to a head as Here-
ford meets Dumas on the De-
mons’ home court.
A Dumas victory gives the
title outright to the Demons
who will be undefeated in 1-
AAA. However a Hereford
win could muddle the issue
since the Whitefaces have lost
only one game and bath
would have identical 7-1
marks. In that event a play-
off such as was held last year
and won by Dumas would be
necessary.
The Lobos can take a chunk
of third place in the standings
by defeating Littlefield to-
night. The Cats stand at 9-7
going into the game while
LeveUand is 2-1 for the dis-
trict. A Lobo win would up
the standing to i-i and tie
tip Levelland team with the
Phillips Blackhawks.
Squaw Island may become
summer White House site
HYANNIS PORT, Mass. (AP)-
An oral sales agreement reached
last week could mean that isolated
Squaw Island off this Cape Cod
home of the Kennedys could be-
come the site of the summer
White House.
Reports attributed to Hyannis
Port legal sources said Edward
M. (Ted) Kennedy, youngest
brother of the President, and Chi-
cago industrialist Philip A. Wig-
gins discussed sale of the Wiggins
estate to the Kennedy family and
an oral agreement was reached.
Squaw Island has about six
summer estates.
South Plains Texans wallop
Ranger JC team, 88 to 46
The South Plains Texans snapp-
ed a 10 game losing streak in a
big way Monday night as they
pounced on Ranger Junior College
here 88-46.
The Texans jumped to an 11
points halftime lead, 39-28 and then
completed the massacre in the
second half as they outscored their
visitors 49-18.
Both teams were guilty of ex-
cessive fouling as the Texans were
called for 26 personals while Ran-
ger drew 23. South Plains cashed
in on 28 free throw points while
the visitors made 20 of their points
from the charity line.
The Texans were hot from the
floor as they hit 10 field goals
while allowing Ranger a meager
13 to account for 34 of the 42
points margin.
Eleven players got in the game
for the Texans and 10 of them
made the scoring column with
four breaking into the double fig-
ures. Ranger used nine players
but only six of them scored and
two managed twin digit figures.
Clyde Brownlow of South Plains
led all scorers with 23 points. He
was followed by Don Faulkenberry
of Ranger who collected 19 but

Oil Bowl expects
approval for game
WICHITA FALLS, Tex. (AP)-
The Oil Bowl expects to be ap-
proved by the National Federa-
tion of High Schools so it can con-
tinue as an all-star football game.
The NCAA has a rule that the
state association must approve an
all-star game that uses graduat-
ing schoolboys but the Texas In-
terscholastic League declined to
do so.
But the NCAA held that since
the Oil Bowl game was an inter-
state affair. Involving Texas and
Oklahoma players, it could be ap-
proved by the national federation,
of which Texas is not a member.
So Harold Story, general chair-
man of the Oil Bowl, asked the
federation Monday to approve the
game. He was instructed to file
an application and the federation
will give an answer within two
weeks. The federation indicated
it would approve the game.

three of the Levelland Junior High
cage teams.
The seventh grade was downed

that they recently discovered and
buried Spade at Whitharral Mon-
day night 88-31.
The Panthers ended up second
in the 5-B race with an 8-2 record.
The huge margin was accom-
plished mainly with a big 33 point
output by the Panther* jn the sec-
ond quarter which was more than
the Spade team managed during
the entire contest.
Whitharral held a 13-4 lead go-
ing into the second period but came
out on top 46-8 at intermission when
Spade managed only four points.
The Panthers added 13 points in

Sires and Don Stafford with 16
each and Jim Burnett with 15.
Olympic track star signed
to play for Dallas Texans
DALLAS (AP) — The Dallas
Texans of the American Football
League will try an Olympic track
star at split end and defensive
halfback.
He is J. W. Mashbum, who ran
on the United States Olympic
teams of 1952 and 1956. Mashbum
was signed to a contract Monday.
He did not play football at
Oklahoma A&M but had been a
top player in high school at Okla-
homa City.
DALLAS, Tex. (AP)-Take it
from Lou Viscusi, maker of box-
ing champions,-Curtis Cokes, the
Dallas welterweight, is about the
most improved fighter in the
country.
Charles (Tombstone) Smith of
Los Angeles, once a top-ranking
welter, will vouch for it. He got
a very close view of the slim
Dallas Negro here Monday night,
so close he almost got hammered
out of action before a slim crowd
of 700.
Cokes blasted Smith with thun-
derous rights to win a unanimous
decision in 10 rounds, knocking
Smith down in the ninth with a
right to the chin after staggering
the Los Angeles scrapper with a
steaming left hook in the seventh.
He had clobbered Smith with
three hard rights a minute before.
Smith got a cut eye and a bloody
nose.
Viscusi, the Houston man who
manages light - weight champion
Joe Brown, Cleveland Williams
and Roy Harris, said Cokes was
so improved over the last time
he had seen him that there just
wasn’t any comparison. Cokes ap-
peared on a card at Houston a
year or so ago.
his fight with Smith. The latter
was at 148.
The semi-final was the most
action-filled fight on the card with
John Hunt of Henderson knocking
out Tiger Dean of Garland with
a hard rijit in the third round.
Hunt, 198, knocked Dean, 205,
down three times in the second
round with *the latter being saved
by the bell. In the third dean
knocked Hunt down with a stiff
right then Hunt put the Garland
boy away.
Lightweight champion Brown
boxed a three-round exhibition
with Rip Randall of Tyler, the
Texas lightweight champion. He
showed his usual sharpness.
Brown meets Dave Chamley in
England next month with his title
on the line. Brown beat Chamley
on a technical knockout at Hous-
ton last year.
Texans Dickie Lemons, James Col-
lins and Donald I vie were also la
the double figures. Lemons got IS,
Collins 14 and Ivie 12. Danny Wale-
worth of Ranger made 12.
In addition, the four twin figure
scorers for South Plains were also
backed up by nine points by Nod
Carter and eight by Bill Butts.
Brownlow got 1» of his 22 points
on free throws as he successfully
converted on all but three of his
chances.
The Texans return to conferen-
ce play as they host Clarendon
Junior College at 8 p.m. Tuea-
day.
