Deieot Hale Center
The Chiefs defeated a stubborn
Hale Center team 13-0 last Fri-
day night at Chiettain Park to
end the non-conference part of
the 1963 football season on a 4-1
record for the locals. Crosbyton
scored in the first and final
quarters to chalk up the victojry.
Travis Sursa. quarterback, re-
turned a punt 82 yards for a
touchdown in the first quarter to
put the Chiefs in the lead. A run
lor extra points failed.
In the fourth quarter, Jimmy
Flournoy, a freshman, ran 22
yards for the second Crosbyton
| tally It climaxed a 45-yard
drive. Ricky Edwards kicked the
j extra point.
The Chiefs were never certain
of the victory until the final
gun, even after the acquiring of
13 points. Following the local's
first TD. the Owls controlled the
ball most of the time during the
remainder of the second and all
the third period. The hard run-
ning of Fullback Eddie Cantu
for the Owls kept the game in
doubt, and with plenty of action
before the gun.
The Owls deepest penetration,
however, was to the Chief's 26
yard line in the second quarter.
The steller defense put up by the
Chiefs bogged down the Hale
Center offense each time it got
within scoring distance Mike
Dendy. Gavlon Wheeless and ot-
hers kept Hale Center from get
ting near the Chief's goal line.

Organizational meeting for
District 4-A was scheduled In

New alignment of this district

trict 4-A with Silverton leaving

Monday's Lubbock Avalanche
carried a feature written by Tan
ner Lame about a much found
and often lost lead mine in Dick-
ens county, somewhere in the
Croton Breaks country. Which re
minded us off a story often quot
ed by Franks E. White, founder
and first publisher of The Re-
view, that he knew where there
was a large deposit of bauxite,
ore from which aluminum is
made. White always said that he
would reveal the location when
the time was right, but so far as
I know he was the only person
ever claiming to know of such
a deposit. White died a few years
ago, and if there was such ore
in Blanco Canyon its where-
abouts died with him.

Uncle Sam has a way of get-
ting what he wants. Someone Ix.
the Internal Revenue Service
figured the government was los
ing too much money on Insur-
ance policies that paid Interest
to the policy holder each year.
Accordingly, the insurance com-
panies must report each policy
holder's social security number
or account number. Letters were
sent out by the companies, but
go far the American public has
been slow to respond. But Uncle
S^m usually has an ace up Its
sleeve. This time It's a $5.00 fine
for each failure to report the
social security number. I suggest
you get busy and send the num-
ber in to the insurance company
If your interest Income from

Had noticed recently that Tex-
as, which a few years ago was
pretty much on the liberal side
politically, has swung a great
way toward the other extreme.
In many ways this is a healthy
situation. Humans are so con-
stituted that they can never act
moderately in groups—they must
be either for or against Issues
that arise. Although I have sup-
ported liberal candidates and
policies in Texas politics in the
past, I have not always been in
agreement with their beliefs. But
of one thing I was certain — a
certain group of conservatives
had -a strangle hold on Texas,
and until they were uprooted the
state had little chance of secur-
ing the kind of government
wanted.
For one I am fairly well con-
tent with the administration of
Gov. Connelly. His record Is not
sensational; neither Is It too con-
servative or too liberal. And
what is more important—he ap-
parently makes up his own mind
without dictation from the pow-
ers that be in the state.
