Basketball
Action With
Coaches:
Looney and Dale
Boys Basketball: The Dublin
Lions are now in the lead in
district 10-A.
Wins over Albany and De
Leon clinched at least a tie for
the championship.
Last Friday the Lions used
excellent free throw shooting by
Green way and Jaggars to de-
feat Albany in the final minute
of play 54 - 51.
Scoring Was as follows: Jag-
gars 20, Spurger 14, Harbin 8,
Greenway 6, Keith 6.
Jarvis Gardner led Albany
with 14 points.
Tuesday night the Lions trail-
ed the De Leon Bearcats for
three quarters before Jerry
Keith secured the victory sink-
ing three out of four free throws
in the last 22 seconds of the
game which ended with Dublin
holding a 52-49 victory and
share of the district title.
The Lions never lost their
faith or poise although the
Bearcats held a ten point lead
through most of the gam e.
Scoring for Dublin were Spur-
ger 21, Jaggars 13, Keith 10,
Harbin 4, Greenway 4.
Brownlee and Bodie Weaver
led De Leon with 16 and 13
points respectively.
“I believe this team has pro-
vided me with more thrills than
any I have ever been associ-
ated with. They never gave up
and as a result they have won
ball games that for all prac-
tical purposes appeared to be
lost.”
Congratulations to the lions
on a great season!
Girls Basketball: Friday
night we defeated Albany 39 -
33. After being behind most of
the first half our girls came
back the second half and won
the game with ease.
Tuesday n i g h t we lost
close one to De Leon by two
points, 38 - 36. It was a hard
fought battle and we almost
won it in the last 30 seconds of
play. Barbara Spurger had 28
points for the game’s high
. scorer.
De Lopn was our last game
and we ended up with a 4-4
district record.
The girls have certainly
worked hard and showed a real
desire to win in every game
this year. I am very proud of
them.
Our captains Margaret
Humphries and Ruby Keith are
to be congratulated on the fine
job they have done leading our
team this year.
Margaret and Ruby are the
only two seniors on our team.
Mostly the team is made up of
sophomores and freshman.
The girls would like to thank
all the people and fans who
have backed our team. Also
they would like to thank Mr.
Gibson and Mr. Taylor for the
cooperation and support they
have given us this year. The
girls certainly feel a lot better
when they know they have peo-
ple who are backing and pull-
ing for them to win.

There will be no driver edu-
cation class this summer due
to a change in the rules set up
by the State Board of Education.
It states that all students
must be in the 9th grade and
14 years old. Therefore, we
could not start class until after
graduation because the bulk of
students are 8th graders. Also
we could only hold class for a
period of two hours j»r day for
the classroom part and it would
take 15 school days to com-
plete the 30 hours needed. Aft-
er the student completes the
classroom part, it takes six
hours of behind the w h eel
driving and six hours of ob-
serving somepne else driving.
We can only drive six hours
per day, one hour of driving
and one hour of observing.
There have been 42 students
signed up for driver education,
therefore I do not have! fliw to
complete the course by August
1. when all coaches have to at-
tend the Texas High Sc h o o 1 _

Sen. J. P. Word
Author of Act
To State Planning
A bill providing a functional
approach to State planning and
coordination was introduced in
the Senate today. Sen J P.
Word was an author of the
Act which creates Interagency
Planning Councils and es-
tablishes a Division of Plan-
ning Coordination.
The Governor shall appoint
Interagency Planning Councils
composed of a member of the
Governor’s Office and the Ad
ministrative heads of the sev-
eral agencies representing the
areas of natural resources, edu-
cation, health and other such
areas as may require coordi-
nated planning efforts.
Sen. J. P. Word pointed out
that there are presently in ex
cess of 170 federal programs
making direct grants to local
and state government agencies
Often times the federal agen-
cies have no knowledge of the
function of other agencies; as
a result, several agencies are
making grants for the same
purpose at the same time.
He predicted the adoption of
this legislation would result in
greatly increased economy and
efficiency in the handling of
federal programs as well as in
the operation of our st a t e
agencies.
The Division of Planning Co-
ordination will encourage need-
ed studies and planning efforts
and will coordinate the activi
ties of the Councils. The plan-
ning prqcess of each function
will be channeled in a com
mon direction, thereby assuring
the taxpayers will receive full
value for each tax dollar spent
