NEW YORK, Dec. 21 (P) —

eight.

A Real Thriller
The gymnasium echoed and reverberated with the thunderous
screams of a nerve-racked, thrill-filled crowd. The score was knotted
at 35-35, with only 30 seconds to go. The team in blue had the ball,
they were corning up the court and the hand bn the clock was still
moving.
Suddenly the referee tooted a shrill blast on his whistle—foul.
The crowd was engulfed with the excitement that just dangled in
the electrified air, and sound broke loose.
The boy in blue stepped up to the free throw line and readied
for the toss. One of his teammates came over and shook his
hand, and me mob scieeched on. The gym was a bedlem, so the ref-
eiee raised his hand for silence so the free throw could be attempted.
The roaring wave of sound subsided and only a few nervous re-
marks could be heard. The blue suited player took aim in the
heavy silence, he let go of the ball, and for an agonizing second the
leather object seemed to hang in space, andthen—swish! The blue
team was out in front! ,------

in this locality for a long time.
We got just as excited as every-
one else, so excited in fact, that
we got mixed up in our scor-
ing of the contest.
Coach Larry Priddy of the
Lee par ds, said last night, after
it was over, that the two teams
would meet once again soon
and it would give his Leopards
a chance to avenge for the
Lions’ one point win of last
night.
We thought the L eo p a r d s
were beaten in the second quar-
ter. The Lions got hotter than
a depot stove in that stanza and
anything that they threw to-
ward the basket fell in for two
points. The college boys out-
hustled the Leopards in that
frame and pulled eight points
ahead of the schoolboys as the
half ended.
The taller Leopards weren’t

they should from the short but
speedy collegians in the first
half.

game at the local high school
gymnasium.
The Cubs of Coach Jim Camp-
bell are due to reel off the first
practice session, when they tan-
gle with the Denton Colts, the B
squad of the Denton high school.
That scrimmage game is slated
to start at 2:30 p. m. this after-

scrimmage is due to follow im-
mediately.
The scrimmage games will give
the Leopard coaches another
chance to see what their charges
can do against outside competi-

Last night the junior college
Lions handed the Leopards a 36
to 35 beating so the Spotted Cats
are expected to take out their
vengeance on the Denton team in
today’s scrimmage session.
For the Leopards, Coach Priddy
is due to start Bob Henley and
Richard Helm on the forward po-
sitions, with probably Bobby Lee
Johnson in at the center spot.
Bill Henderson and Winfred Bak-

positions, but Paul Booher, Paul

Near the end of the tilt the crowd
had to be stilled so that Harold
Payne of the collegians could
sink the free throw that won the
game.
Payne was fouled with only 25
seconds to go in the contest,
which had proved to be a battle

Cotton Bowl To
Boast The Most
All-Americans
DALLAS, Dec. 21 (P) — The
Cotton bowl won’t have teams
with the best season records
among the major bowl games on
Jan. 2 but it can boast the most
All-Americas.
In fact, it will have as many
as the other bowl games com-
bined.
There will be two fellows of
the mythical team variety playing
against each other here when
Rice tangles with North Caro-
lina. '
The big man of the Owls (not
in size but in ability) is James
(Froggy) Williams, that talented
pass-catcher, defensive tower and
adept place-kicker.
The headliner of North Caro-
lina will be Charlie Justice, a
fellow who has been in the pub-
lic eye for four years, two of
which he has been All-America.
Justice is no stranger to Texas
and his lone appearance down
here found his taking a decided
back seat.
That was the day in 1947
when Texas whammed the Tar
Heels 34-0 at Austin. But Choo-
Choo got revenge the next year

turn match before the confer- . , , , , -
ence season starts for the Leop- start Bobby Moss and John MY-
when he ran and passed
North Carolina to a 34-7 decision
at Chapel Hill, N. C.
All other bowl games com-
bined have two All-Americas.
California, which plays Ohio
State in the run for the Roses at
Pasadena (The Rose bowl),
boasts Rod Franz, All-America
guard.
Oklahoma, which plays Louis-
iana State in the Sugar bowl at
New Orleans, has Wade Walker,
All-America tackle.
Williams, like Justice, will be
closing out four varsity years. He
was the best end in the Southwest
conference in 1948 but didn’t
land on the All-Americas. He
made it this time, however, with
some of the most sensational
work a wingman ever turned in.
Against Southern Methodist,
he scored two touchdowns, set up
two and kicked five extra points.
Against Texas he kicked a field
goal with 10 seconds to go to give
Rice a 17-16 victory. He scored
all of Rice’s points in a 14-0 vic-
tory over Arkansas. And he did
other things during the season to
make him stand out in the na-
tion’s football.
The Cotton bowl game definite-
ly will be the last for both Wil-
liams and Justice. Each has de-
clared he will not enter pro foot-
ball. Williams says he isn’t big
enough (185). Justice is a little
fellow, too. He weighs just 167.

Lions Look Good
The Lions looked pretty good
last night, especially in the sec-
ond quarter. Tney are a short
team, but tney boast plenty of
speed and every one of the
starters can hit the basket. If
Duane Cook was a little taller,
he would be a rough and tough
center, as it is he holds his own
with the taller boys that usually
play against him. He can make
points and is a pretty good play
maker.
Harold Payne is fast and he
can nit the basket, although he
hasn’t been hitting it as he did
at the first of the year.
Jack King was hot last night
as ne poured the points through
the hoops. He usually scores
quite a bit in each game, how-
ever. Joe Stelding scored some
and handled the ball expertly
for the collegians. Some of his
passes were very good and set
up some other scores. Haney
Dedek was the other guard for
the Lions and he did okay, too.
He didn’t sink a field goal, but
he added some free throws.
ine Lions just need some
height to help their team. If
they are off on their shots they
will look very bad because they
can’t get too many of the re-
bounds. The Leopards can miss
some of their shots and still get
t h e rebounds for another
chance.
It seems to us that the Leop-
ards can remedy their weak-
ness to some extent, by prac-
ticing on their shooting, but
the Lions can’t grow any taller
we are afraid.
We tnink both outfits will do
pretty good in their respective
leagues. The Leopards should
hold their own in District 7-A A
and the Lions should have a
good chance in the local inde-
pendent loop, whenever it is
formed.
We asked Coach Fred Mc-
Cain of the Lions if. he was
nervous during the game last
night and he answered by say-
ing, “I w ouldn’t be a basketball
coach for anything!” Maybe
that is a pretty good attitude to
take, even if you are a basket- .
ball coach. ‘

Stuckey and Lloyd Ridner sig-
nalled for quiet as Payne stepped
up to attempt his free throw.
Suddenly the gym stilled but the
heartbeats of all t h o s e present
could almost be heard as the Lion
forward lifted the ball for the
shot. The rcundball soared
through the air and the sound of
swish penetrated the gymnasium
as the ball hit the mark. Lion
rooters hit the breeze with a huge
ovation.
The Lions took the ball in and
held on until in the final second,
Duane Cook of the Lions was
fouled with 15 seconds to go, but
he missed his free throw. Rich-
ard Helm and Bill Henderson
broke through to grab the ball for
one last desperate attempt in the
fading seconds. The buzzer
sounded, however, ending the
game before they could get near
the basket.
The first quarter of the fracas
was a close hard-fought tussle
with the Leopards edging forward
in the scoring, 7 to 5. The second
quarter turned out to be the
turning point of the game, when
the Lions from the local college
ran rampant, as Jack King sank
everything he threw at the bas-
ket to the tune of eight points
during the stanza. Duane Cook
chipped in with four that quarter
and Harold Payne notched three,
as the Lions tallied 15 markers
while the Leopards were making
only 5. When the buzzer sounded
for the end of the first half, the
count stood at 20 for the Lions
and 12 for the Leopards.
The Spotted Cats made it back,
little by little, in the third frame
as they pumped 11 points through
the hoops to the Lions’ 9. The
Lions still led at the end of the
third quarter, though, at that
time by a 29 to 23 margin.
The Leopards kept right on
coming as Pee Wee Baker and
Paul Booher sent the high school
team right on top of the Lions
with their beautiful set-shotst.
Baker sent a long shot buzzing
through the hoop from the left
corner to put the Leopards in a
35 to 35 deadlock with only 50
seconds left to play.
Payne was fouled, and the mob
went completely insane. He
dumped in the ball for the win-
ning point and the college lads
had completed the tasks they had
dreamed of for so long.
The friendly rivals ended
friends and are due to play a re-

into an
vl,

but when two local teams lock
up in a battle like the one they
played, we get a little excited
over it.
The Leopards and Cubs are due
to play Denton’s varsity and B
team today in a practice scrim-
ages at the local gymnasium. The
Cub scrimmage is due to start at
2:30 p. m. with the Leopard prac-
tice tilt slated to follow. They
may not play regular games, but
they will stage interesting scrim-
mages, and it will help both
teams prepare for conference
play.

The dam broke again and
sound once more came pounding
down into the gymnasium. Only
25 seconds to go, the blue team
was bound to freeze the ball. The |
clock was moving, 20 seconds, 15
seconds—the whistle blew. An-
other foul, the blue team got two
shots this time. The fouled play-
er stepped up and let go the ball,
but he missed. He tried again,
