Callisburg Has Boxing Team (
THEY GROW ’EM rugged in Callisburg—just how rugged may be
I publicly witnessed within the next few days.
Not long ago we published a story announcing the fact that An-
cil Crowsey of Callisburg is a 1955 entrant in the regional Golden
Gloves boxing competition, which will be reeled off this month in
Fort Worth. We obtained the information from a brief story in the
Fort Worth Star-Telegram and a lack of time prevented us from
actually checking with Callisburg school authorities about the situ-
ation.
Yesterday we made that check and learned that some seven Cal-
lisburg youngsters have filed entry blanks with Golden Gloves offi-
cials. Charles Sealey, assistant football and girls’ basketball mentor
at Wildcatville, informed us that he is acting as trainer for the Cal-
lisburg team and he has high hopes that his youngsters will make
a good showing this year. I '
The regional fight action in Fort Worth begins Friday and
. Sealey revealed that his youngsters will be required to weigh-in on
Friday afternoon. Pairings for the bouts may be made Thursday
and. if so. Sealey will let us know the results so that we might pub-
lish an accurate report of just who each Callisburg boy will fight.
We’re glad to see a local team take interest in the annual boxing
program that always proves such a roaring success in Cowtown. If
you recall, not many years ago the local Optimist club sponsored
GG entries and several practice bouts were staged from a portable
ring, stationed in the middle of the local gymnasium.
The activity didn't prove such a roaring success, however, and
finally the Optimists stopped the practice and employed their ring
for weekly professional wrestling bouts. ]
Still Have Equipment
The Optimist Boys club build-
ing. however, is still fully
equipped with the materials need-
ed to whip a fighter into condi-
tion and Sealey explained he
hoped to gain permission from
| the Boys club director, Bert
Gibbs, ’for his youngsters to
stage a workout in that building
this Wednesday night.
Sealey is dead serious in his ef-
forts with the Callisburg knuckle
swingers,and he gave us a brief
rundown of the work that the
| boys have already done in prep-
aration for the coming Fort
Worth test of power,
- The young pugilists have been
working since the termination of
the Christmas holidays and they
each have gone through sessions
with the light and heavy punch-
ing bags skipping rope and road
work. Then, too. the Wildcat
maulers have also romped
through a number of rounds -of
boxing, employing each other as
sparring partners. .
heavyweight and Robinson, Kit-
chens and Crowsey enter the

will fight as a - featherweight,
while his brother Dee tackles an

ranks , ,
Sealey wouldn’t predict just
how well his boys will fare in
the always rugged action in Fort
Worth, but indicated that he
plans to enter his colors in sever-
al more meets this winter.
Fact is, if Seeley can manage
someway to construct a ring in

LEOPARD FOOTBALL BANQUET
TICKETS GO ON SALE TODAY
Eager football fans were expected to snap up tickets to the
1955 Leopard grid banquet like hotcakes today.
Ed Moseley, chairman of the Leopard Booster club ticket
sales, announced Tuesday that the cardboards were to have
been placed for sale this morning in three local pharmacies.
The Swindle, Street and Woodruff pharmacies were named as
the establishments boasting ducats, but Moseley quickly added
that only about 100 tickets will be available and they’ll be on a
first-come, first-served basis.
Members of the Booster club, which incidentally is sponsor-
ing the annual banquet, were given first choice at tickets and
they responded in enthusiastic style.
The feed, which is designed to honor members of the 1954
Leopard football team, has been slated for January 19 in the
Community Center building and Paul (Bear) Bryant, famed
coach of Texas A&M’s grid machine, has been named as guest
speaker for the occasion.
Fans from all around North Texas have expressed Interest
in hearing the renown Bryant, who vacated his coaching duties
at Kentucky to accept the Aggie post last season. The speak-
ing prowess of the coach, who is, well known for his fighting,
well-conditioned teams, is said to be of the highest calibre and
his talents have been widely exploited in the many grid banquets
held at this time of the year.
The Leopard Booster club, local organization which was
formed to support athletics at the Gainesville high school,
has gone all out to set a high standard of entertainment at their
annual, gala affair. Last year the Boosters acquired Chalmer
(Woody) Woodard, head coach at SMU, for their after dinner
speaker.
Buckner Home Cagers Romp
To 71-21 Win Over Tigers
MUENSTER, Jan. 11—Buckner

disposing of the Sacred Heart
Tigers here tonight. The city boys
“slickered" their way to a. lop-
sided 71-21 decision over the hap-
less home towners in a South-
west Academic league bout.
It was the second loop win in
as many starts for the Buckner

CALLISBURG. Jan. 11—Sang-
er’s prolific Indians ran hog-
wild here tonight to thump the
Callisburg Wildcats 79-38 in a
District 37-B basketball struggle.
Sanger’s girls also charged into
the win column with a resound-
ing 70-17 victory in the night's
winners, while Watts counted 12
and Miles and Ritchie 10 points
apiece to further aid in the top-
heavy triumph. With that quar-
tet of boys leading the way, the
visitors to Muenster piled up a
29-10 halftime lead.
They really romped and
stomped in the final pair of stan-
zas, however, pushing the total
higher and higher.
Carl Walterscheid was the
leading point-maker for the los-
ers. notching nine points.
It was the second SAL loss for
the Tigers in two starts and the
Sacred Heart team has failed to
notch a conference victory in the
past two seasons. Friday night
the Cooke county Tigers go to
Texarkana for another league
conflict.

Keep Clean
Cage Slates
By The Associated Press
Heavily-favored Texas Chris-
tian and Southern Methodist,
keeping their championship slate
clean, mopped up the maples in
Dallas and Fort Worth Tuesday
night.
The- TCU Horned Frogs swat-
ted the Texas Longhorns 79-64 at
Fort Worth while SMU’s Mus-
tangs were whipping Texas A&M
93-69 at Dallas. It gave both
SMU and TCU perfect records
for conference basketball com-
petition. The Frogs have won,
two straight. The Ponies have
three straight victories.
TCU’s great sophomore center,
6-7 Richard O’Neal, scored 42
points in leading the Frogs. With
four minutes to go. the Long-
horns went into a stall in an at-
tempt to keep O’Neal from
breaking the league individual
scoring record of 49 points set by
former Longhorn Slater Martin
in 1949.
Texas put five men to guard-
ing O'Neal and TCU netted only
two free throws in the final three
minutes. But O’Neal thwarted
in the scoring record attempt-
scored 18 free throws for another
new record. He broke his own
mark of 16 set last week against
Arkansas.
It was big Jim Krebs, the 6-8
center from Webster Groves,
Mo., who paced the Methodists
over the Aggies with 26 points.
He did it with 8 field goals and
10 free throws.
A slick Aggie Cadet who trans-
ferred from Allen academy. Bill
Brophy, led the Aggies with 24
points made with 8 goals and 8
free throws.
The Methodists took an early,
lead and pulled steadily away
from the undermanned Cadets
who had only nine men to put on
the floor.
Southwest conference quintets
will be idle until Friday when
Texas entertains Rice institute at
Austin. Saturday night, it’s SMU
vs. TCU at Fort Worth, Texas
A&M vs. Houston at Houston,
and Baylor vs. Arkansas at Fay-
etteville.

GREENVILLE, Jan. 11-Green-
ville’s harried Lions fought off a |
desperate last second -rally by the , B
surprising Gainesville Leopards 1
here tonight to take a hair-close I ■
67-66 cage decision in a crucial |
District 3A-3 thriller.
It was the first conference win 1
in two starts for the Lions and 1
the initial loop setback in three |
starts for Coach Joe Harrell’s |
Leopards and the contest left a 1
large, excited crowd almost limp t
as the result of numerous thrills.
The Lions grabbed a 67-60; 1
lead over the Leopards with only 1
three minutes remaining to play, 1
but Gainesville put on a spirited . 1
rally that.had the many "Parents ’
Night” fans sitting on’ the edges :
of their seats.
Herbie Locke was able to dump
three free tosses to cut the lead, L
Spencer Hays added another and
the Leopards trailed by 67-64 as "
the hands of the clock raced ;
rapidly toward its prescribed des-
tination. (Finally jittery Jackie
Holt hit /a jump shot for the
Leopards to run the count to
67-66, but his feet had hardly
touched the floor before the buz-
zer sounded ending the game.
The battle was a rough one all
the way and three Greenville
players, including the great Ed-
gar Howard and Joe Harwell,
fouled out, along with Locke of
the Leopards. —
Hays Is Leader
Hays was once again the great
leader for the Leopards, a team
that has proved to be the sur-
prise package in District 3A-3
play this season. The little play-
maker scored 26 points to lead
the locals, but had great help
from quick, scrappy Johnny Mor-
gan. who counted 11, and tall
David West's contribution of 10
points.
Howard, who was covered like
a blanket by bullet Lloyd Nich-
ols, scored but 12 points, but
Marshall Hicks took over where
he left off, counting a grand to-
tal of 23 markers. Big George
Norris scored 15 for the winners.
At the halftime intermission —
at which time, by the way, the
Leopards led by 30-29—parents
of Greenville players were intro-
duced to the appreciative audi-
ence.
\ Friday night the Leopards re-
turn to the friendly confines of
their own gymnasium for an im-
portant 3A 3 contest with the
unbeaten Paris Wildcats.
Gainesville’s Cubs found the
going pretty rough in their pro-
gram opening encounter with the
Greenville Bs. The hosts won a
45-40 decision, led by hard-play-
ing Wallace’s 16 points.
William Buck and Tommy Er
win paced the Cubs with 11
points apiece, while Sonny Gil-
more helped out with seven.
