Wildcats let air out of Cyclone
Win conference
victory number 2
Playing the same slam-bang
brand of football that carried
them to a conference victory
over Panhandle a week earlier,
the Canadian Wildcats invad-
ed Memphis last Friday night
and lashed the Cyclones 30 to
8.
The Wildcats turned a Mem-
phis fumble into a fast touch-
down midway in the first
quarter, and stayed out in
front all the way.
It was defensive end Jack
Miller who dived on the foot-
ball in the end zone for a
touchdown after the other
wing man, Tommy Lemons,
had jarred Cyclone fullback
Jerry Burnett loose from the
ball.
The Cyclones had been set
back in the shadow of their
own goal line by a 33-yard
kick from the toe of Wildcat
fullback Sparky Eckles, and
Burnett was moving behind
his own 5-yard line when Le-
mons tagged him.
Miller, driving in from the
opposite flank, pounced on the
bounding ball and dived into
the end zone for the T.D.
Eckles try for extra point was
thrown back and the Wildcats
led 6 to 0 as the first period
ended.
The Wildcats climaxed an
87-yard drive early in the sec-
ond period with a 37-yard
touchdown sprint by Sparky
Eckles, and Quarterback Ter-
ry Brown went through left
tackle for the extra points to
put the Wildcats out in front
14 to 0.
That was the score at the
half, although the Wildcats
controlled the ball for almost
the entire quarter and allow-
ed the Cyclones a net loss of
6 yards on the ground to bal-
ance against 10 yards gained
passing.
The Cyclones were saved
from worse trouble by the
highly effective kicking of Jer-
ry Burnett, whose low punts
were getting full distance on
the roll. Burnett booted one
53 yards to the Canadian 5
yard line, and kicked another
39-yarder which rolled dead
on the Wildcat three yard line.
The Wildcats made a big
threat near the end of the
half when they launched a
drive from their own 25 which
carried to the Cyclone 10 yard
line. Powering the thrust were
two passes completed by Dav-
id Young, one for 38 yards to
Tommy Lemons which was
ruled complete at the Cyclone
26-yard line after defensive
pass interference was called;
and another for 20 yards, after
a 4 yard setback on the
ground, to Jerry Henderson on
the Memphis ten.
With ten seconds to go at
that point, however, the Wild-
cats ran into trouble, drawing
a 15-yard penalty which set
them back to the 25, and a
last-second pass by Terry
Brown was almost Intercepted
by Burnett as time ran out.
The Cyclones started the

Interscholastic League re-vamps
football districts for 1960 season
second half with a bang, re-
covering a Wildcat fumble on
the Canadian 29 yard line
three plays after the kick-off
and scoring their lone touch-
clown in just seven plays
from that point.
Halfback Don Gailey re-
covered the fumble, and hard
driving Eddie Jones covered
most of the remaining dis-
tance with short assists from
Montgomery and Tucker.
Jones smashed through cen-
ter for the final two yards
and the touchdown, and Tomie
Tucker ran through right tack-
le for the extra points to make
the score 14 to 8 with 7 min-
utes and 57 seconds remaining
in the third quarter.
The Wildcats bounced back
fast, however, with Hender-
son taking the kick-off on the
5 yard line and returning to
the 25, and Brown, Young and
Henderson moved it upfield
quickly in a series of four first
downs which carried to the
Memphis 27. Jerry Hender-
son circled left end from that
point on a 27-yard touchdown
scamper . . . but the play was
called back and the score nul-
lified by 15-yard holding pen-
alty.
Wildcats got the 15 yards
back one play later, however,
when the Cyclones were pen-
alized for piling on, and Da-
vid Young advanced eleven
yards on two plays to make
it first down on the Cyclone
13 yard line, but the Cyclones
braced and held at the 8
yard line and Burnett quick-
kicked out to the 40 yard line
to get out of trouble.
The Wildcats came right
back and scored early in the
fourth period after a sustain-
ed drive with Terry Brown go-
ing the final three yards over
left tackle for the touchdown
and Mickey Spoon circling
right end for the two-point
conversion to put the Wildcats
out in front 22 to 8.
The final touchdown near
the end of the game climaxed
a 63-yard drive with Bucky
Price going through center for
the final seven yards and
Delayne Stephenson going for
the two-point conversion to
make the score 30 to 8.
There were just 20 seconds
remaining on the clock when
the touchdown was scored.

Realignment of Texas In-
terscholastic League football
districts for next year, an-
nounced in Austin last week-
end, will break \ip some con-
ferece rivalries of long-stand-
ing in District 2-A.
Both the White Deer Bucks
and the Panhandle Panthers
will be missing from this dis-
trict next season. These two
teams have been shifted to
District 1-A, where they will
be lined up with Gruver, Stin-
nett, Stratford, and Sunray in
a 6-team loop.
Spearman, which has been
a member of that district, is
being moved up to AA clas-
sification, and will be in a
district with Perryton, Sham-
rock, Childress, Wellington,
and Quanah.
Left in District; 2-A will be
the Canadian Wildcats, Clar-
endon Broncos, Lefors Pirates,
McLean Tigers, and Memphis
Cyclones.
No new teams aro being ad-
ded. The Wellington Skyrock-
ets, on the borderline between
Class A and AA, will remain
in the AA classification. Wel-
lington has 212 students en-
enrolled in high school.
Stinnett, which had been
expected to move up to AA
classification, remains in Class
A by a squeaky margin. Maxi-
mum enrollment for Class A
schools was advanced from
200 to 205. Stinnett's average
enrollment for the past two
years is 203-plus. The Stinnett
schools currently have about
235 students in the high school
grades, but this year's enroll-
ment figures will not affeet
classification for another two
years. League classifications
are "frozen" for two-year per-
iods.
The changes take effect at
the opening of the 19G0 foot-
ball season. Basketball dist-
rict alignments will not be
affected until the 1901 season.
Upsets never expected... but ever
possible in district grid ;a.'c
Aside from the White Deer-
Canadian game here Friday
night, conference contests'this
week aren't expected to pro-
duce much in the way of fire-
works.
But in a district often and
aptly described as a 'little
southwest conference" any-
thing can happen.
This week, however, any up-
set would really be one. The
Memphis Cyclones, whose only
victory was over Lefors, and
in the mud at that, will go a-
gainst the McLean Tigers who
have winning ways on a wet
field or a dry one. And the
Lefors Pirates, whose best ef-
fort so far this season has
been a non-conference tie, will
meet a Clarendon Bronco team
still smarting from a defeat
at White Deer last week and
anxious to get back into the
conference title race. The Clar-
endon gridders aren't rated as
very hot championship pros-
pects this season, but the
Pirates aren't the team which
Anesthetists added
to hospital staff
Hemphill County Hospital
is now offering a new service,
by retaining two registered
anesthetists, hospital admin-
istrator Mary Louther reported
this week.
The two, available on call,
have had special training in
this field and can give any
is cooling their chances.
The Panhandle Panthers, a
team that might be capable of
pulling an upset or two this
season in spite of a dismal
record, will be idle this week
end.
No hunting allowed
at scout lake, says
game warden
Absolutely no hunting is
permitted on the Hemphill
county fish rearing lake area,
more familiarly known as 'the
Boy Scout Lake, Game Warden
Frank Ordener warned this
week.
The fact that the area was
xjpemed to the public this
year for fishing has led some
sportsmen to believe that it
is also open to the public for
hunting.
It just isn't so, Ordener cau-
tions.
Even having firearms in
possession within the area is
a violation of the state law
and will be prosecuted, he
declared.
