ton so well?? Could it be what
happened Thursday night? Yes, it
could!
Wonder why Wheeler has its place
with Edwina George? Could it be
“Corky”? It mire is!
I saw Delbe. Smith and Roy-
lene Simms together last week.
What about it, kids??
We see Gene Hamill has already
gotten acquainted with Barbara S.
Nice going, Gene. Let’s see more
of this.
How does Donald Lea and Weldon
Earles keep from getting the How-
ard twins mixed up? Someone tell
us!
Why does Canadian hold such a
big attraction for the “Irish Las-
sies”? How about it girls!
What is this we hear about cer-

themes for chewing gum? How

Who was Peggy Clement with
Saturday night? Could it have
been Kenneth Robinson? Yes, it

Why doesn’t Willard Harral make

Shamrock High School's “Fight-
ing Irishmen” are really establish-
ing a record for themselves this
year. At the Pampa Golden Gloves
three Irishmen emerged victorious
while two others fought to the
semi-finals.
Tom Landrum, one of the region’s
best boxers, won the Pampa tourn-
ament with three consecutive
knockouts, and then lost in Ama-
rillo because of a scratch over his
eye.
Roy Don Brower won the Pampa
Golden Gloves without a fight, then
proceeded to the finals in the Ama-
rilo tournament where he was de-
feated after a string of three con-
secutive knockouts.
Donnie Ray, another Pampa win-
ner, fought his way to the finals in
Amarillo and was defeated there.
Joe Landrum lost in the finals at
Pampa, and Lester Ramsey lost In
the semi-finals there. Having
dropped a close decision in the
semi-finals at Pampa, Ray York
won an exhibition at Childress with
a knockout In 55 seconds of the
first round. Later that same night
he lost a second fight by a narrow
margin. I believe these boys have
really lived up to their names.
When it comes to thrills in bas-
ketball, last Friday night’s games
with Memphis were tops. Sham-
rock’s “B” team won the first game
27-13. Shamrock’s “A” team was
behind 22-11 at the half. They then
retaliated to win 31-30. The last
few minutes of that ball game had
all the spectators screaming to the
top of their lungs.
If you haven’t as yet seen the
Irish play basketball you are real-
ly in for a thrill Friday night when
they tangle with the Wellington
Skyrockets.

children on a pleasure drive, with
their 19-months-old baby. Robert,

home, they found the baby dead—
an apparent victim of carbon mon-

thought to have been caused by a

Harris on the muffler of his car to
substitute for a heater.
