Basketball Squads Start Training
#i
By RONNIE PHILLIPS
(From The War Whoop)
1 After the 'B' team football
te^m ended their season with a
loss to Kermit, Coach Metz La-
Follette took the 'B' team and
Jr. High boys under the roof, to
start the eager season. Coach La-
Follette said he expects close to
30 boys to be out, when the 'A'
squad gridiron season is over.
„the moment, LaFollette re-
the following boys out for
the''B* team: Bill Garvin, Robert
Chancellor, Gordon Grayson,
Charlie Benson, Edwin Gist,
Johnny Reese, Durwood Gresset,
Monty Cavin, Gaylon Blakely,
Sid Johnson, Johnny Speer. An-
other boy, who will probably
play 'A' squad is Marcus Crow.
Coach LaFollette stated that
he would probably get a scrim-
mage with Seagraves for these
boys.
The Indians have a game
scheduled with Denver City on
December 2nd for the 'A' squad
team.
LaFollette stated that he would
suit out an experienced team this
season, but would be handicap-
ped by height. His tallest boy
will be Gothard, lanky senior,
who was captain last season, who
is 6'1" and is a three year letter-
man.
Next tallest is Jon Wilson,
who will lead the Indians this
year on the hardwoods at the
co-captain slot. Wilson plays
guard, 6' tall and is a three year
letterman. Wilson was one of
the standouts on last year's
squad, and much more is expect-
ed from him this season.
Next on the list is 6' Crandall
Young. senior, who is the other
co-captain. Young plays the post
position for the Indians and is
a one year letterman.
Guy Nelson, senior, two year
letterman is 5'10" tall. Nelson is
in the guard slot along with Wil-
son on the lineup.
Shortest man on the team will
be Harold "Truck" Karr. Kan-
shoots at a mighty height of 5'8".
Karr is a one year letterman and
plays guard. Mr. Karr is pretty
hard to keep up with on the
court and should prove to be -i
great benefit to the Indian line-
up this season.
Jackie Sparks, senior, who is
a three year letterman, is 511"
tall. Sparks will be considered
when it comes to picking the
first team.
Other boys on the Indian line
up will be Marcus Crow, senior
Paul Sublett, junior; Peet Carter
senior; LaMoyne Livingston, sen
ior; and Brad "Shug" Crawford,
senior.
The conference games of the
season will be as follows:
Jan. 8-9-10 — Brownfield Tour-
ney
Jan. 13—Pecos—Here
Jan. 16—Kermit—There
Jan. 20—Monahans—There
Jan. 23—Andrews—Here
Jan. 30—Pecos—There
Feb. 3—Kermit—Here
Feb. 6—Monahans—Here
Feb. 10—Andrews—There.

NUMBER 2
Stamford Powers Over Indians, 35-0 Saturday
Mrs. Vivian Liner, local home
demonstration agent will leave
Friday for Denton where she
will attend State Home Demon-
stration Agent's association
meeting. Mrs. Liner is secretary
and treasurer for agent's associa-
tion in District 2.
It was a highly geared-Bull-
dog contingent from Stamford
that finished up the playoff
hopes of the Seminole Indians
last Saturday afternoon at Sny-
der in Class A A football, 35-0 be-
fore a wind swept crowd of some
4,000 fans from the two cities.
Displaying power and near-
perfect performance of both pla-
toons Coach Gordon Wood used
his starting elevens throughout
the game out of respect for the
Seminole attack that could never
get past a pair of 200-pound
tackles and the hefty guards.
Mixing a few passes into their
attack, to show some of their
wares, the Bulldogs were never
in trouble as they copped the
regional playoff.
The Bulldog defense and of-
fense was a sight not seen this
season by local fans with their
weight, versitallty of power, pass-
es, and razzle-dazzle ball display-
ed by the Stamford team. While
Seminole had played several
games of perhaps a better call
ber than shown Saturday they
did not have the weight to match
the Bulldogs.

under by one, two, three, some-
times four Dogs. Seminole pass-
ers were lead-armed and receiv-
ers butter-fingered.
But Stamford was great. It
would have taken a strong leash
to hold those Bulldogs Saturday.
It took them only a little over
four minutes to march 80 yards
for their first touchdown. They
let Seminole get a first down in
two plays after that, but forced
a kick three tries and four yards
later. They were in complete
command after that, with only
the size of the score indottbt.
Chief yardage gainer for the
F-illdogs was the supposedly in-
jured "enneth Lowe. Despite
thick taping on both knees, he
ground out 87 yards in 19 car-
ries. Wiyne Watih, tall, cool and
terrific, had 80 in 15, short,
stocky, but swift Max Kelley
had 70 in 10 and Buddy Gray 39
in six.
Lowe scored two touchdowns
and threw a 24-yard scoring pass
to Wash to complete the day's
work.
Ball handler in Stamford's
winged-T was Eldon Mortiz most
of the time. He pulled a sneak
from the one-foot line to score
and kicked five extra points—
one after a 15-yard penalty.
The other touchdown was by
another quarterback, Larry Sim-

mons.
After the kickoff—into the end
zone with a strong wind—the
Dogs took over on the 20. Wash,
Kelley and Gary carried eight
times to put the ball on the one-
foot line. From there Moritz
bucked right over center for the
first tally.
Seminole came back as if it
might be a game Sparks carried
twice for 11 yards. But the seat
of those pants were soon torn
out. Charlie Davis, Dan Smith,
H. Tillman and G. Humphrey
sunk their teeth in three plays
that could only net four yards
and the Indians had to boot.
Gary came in to partially block
it and when things had quited
down, Stamford was on the 39.
Kicks Four Times
Seminole could only keep the
ball 20 times after that for Coach
George Zoller. They kicked four
times and made two first downs
before the half ended.
Meanwhile Wood, an old Semi-
nole coach getting some revenge,
kept pouring it on. A kick
against that strong wind hit on
the Seminole 25 and bounced
back to the 15 before being kill-
ed.
Wash and Kelley needed only
three plays—hampered by a five-
yard penalty—to get to the seven.
Simmons came in, faked a beau-
tiful handoff to Kelley going
through the line, stepped around
end for the touchdown and went
right out of the game.
The next short kick went out
of bounds on the 37. Three plays
took it to the 24, with Humphrey
gaining 12 of those yards. Lowe
faded back, threw, connected.
Wash took it without breaking
stride in the end zone and when
Moritz booted his third con-
version it was 21-0 at the half.
Lowe started an 85-yard scor-
ing drive with two carries for 23
yards. Then Wash, Kelley, Kel-
ley, Gray. The monotony of gain
ing was relieved by a 11-yard
pass from Moritz to end Howard
Vest. Then the ground attack
started again. Lowe went ior
eight. Gray for nine and Lowe
for 10 and the tally.
Devastating Defense
To further show what a de-
vastating defense the Bulldogs
threw up, it took Sparks 18 car-
rles to make 47 yards — about
four yards less than his season's
average.
Davis, Gray, Miles, Dan Smith,
Humphrey, Tillman, Ed Eckdahl,
Bob Harrison shared defensice
honors for Stamford and even
though they leaked like a poli-
tician's promise, the Indians did
have some players in on a lot of
tackles.
Of course, they had a lot of
chances to tackle with Stamford
carrying the ball most of the
time. LaMoyne Livingston and
Marion Allen were the beat of
the bunch, with Harold Karr,
Jackie Cargill, Guy Nelson, Don
Hassell, James Jackson also help-
ing.
Seminole missed Jackie Goth-
ard. The big pass-snagging, hard-
tackling end couldn't have made-
up a 35-point deficit, but he could
have helped. He played only a
few downs on offense and a few
on defense. It might have been
a different story with him in
there.
Stamford now meets Childress,
1-AA titilist and winner over
Floydada and Seymour in play-
offs, in next round Saturday at
Childress.
There is no place in the high-
est heavens above nor in the
deepest waters below where the
moral law does not reign.—Con-
fucius.
