Dear Editor,
If I had time to enter this
week’s contest, I’d pick:    Rice,
Baylor, Argansas, Oklahoma,
Iowa, Illinois, Pittsburgh, Minn-
esota, Missouri, Colorado, Duke,
So. Carolina, Ohio State, tie be
tween Oregon and Oregon State,
Iowa State, Purdue, UCLA,
Washington, No. Texas State
and Tennessee. But I don’t have
the time.
As usual,
Ray Holasek
P.S. Up to now, seems like I’ve
•had better luck picking the los-
ers rather than the winners.
Dwain and Debbie Deiterman,
children of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur
Deiterman are ill with chicken
pox.
As overwhelming as the 49-0
score was, it was no> more spec-
tacular than the plays and pen-
alties. In the first quarter Mc-
Gregor chalked up 5 first downs
to 0 for tih-e Trojans. It was al-
most midway in the- second
quarter before the Trojans made
their first, first down. Two min-
utes later, and having made only
one first down, the Trojans
romped across the goal line for
their first TD. With 6:41 play-
ing time left in the:    second
period of play, the Trojans gob-
bled up yardage enough dor 6
>first dlowns, and crossed the
goal line for another score with
only 21 seconds remaining in the
half.
In the first 4:39 of playing
time in the third quarter, the
Trojans crossed the' goal line
three times, but only one cros-
sing counted, as they were pen-
alized 65 yards in the process.
Before the quarter ended, the
Trojans had scored again, mak-
ing the score 28-0. They made
6 first downs in the quarter, to
none for McGregor, and! were
penalized 80 yards while Mc-
Gregor drew 30 yards in penal-
ties.
The number of penalties de-
clined in the fourth quarter,
with: the1 Trojans being assesed
35 yards to 20 against McGregor.
The Trojans led in the first
down department 8 to 2 for Mc-
Gregor in the1 quarter-
A thrilling climax was reached
as the Trojans scored their final
touchdown with 22 seconds of
playing time left in the game.
Willig, on a beautiful run, car-
ried the! ball 22 yards to pay
dirt, and Zatopek kicked the ex-
tra point, making the final
score 49-0.
Coach Carlile took the seniors
out of the game, and substitutes
took over for the final two plays
in the: game.
Willig was outstanding on of-
fense and defense, breaking
up McGregor pass plays, and
gaining long yardage on end
plays, and punt returns, beside:
being credited with several good
punts. Willig took a pass from
Whitley to score the second Tro-
jan TD: he carried the hall over
from tihe 6 for their third TD;
had a 33-yard TD run called
back in the third quarter; in the
fourth quarter he lugged the
ball for the last five yards to
score 6 points, and scored the
last TD of the night on his
beautiful 22 yard run.
Whitley’s runs and passes set
up several Trojan TD’s. He
plowed through the line, when
inches were needed for the
first TD. Zatopek kicked1 the ex-
tra point. Whitley’s pass to Wil-
lig for the second Trojan tally
was well executed and he passed
to Sparks for the two points
after th» TD. In the third quar-
ter a 28 yard run by Whitley for
a TD was called back on a pen-
alty He scored the first TD in
the fourth quarter, and ran for
tihe two extra points.
Kaska made the other Tro-
jan TD plowing through the
center of the line and gaining
momentum all the way- The play
carried for 24 yards, midway in
the third quarter. The try for
points after were no good.
Zat-opek’s extra point kicks,
which have been almost 100 per
cent true all season, faltered
somewhat, but he accounted
for three during the game, and
missed two.
In the line the names of Mynar-
cik. Bajer, Girard and Lednicky
wtere repeated over and over
again. Kreder. Nichols, 'and
Plsek were credited with sever-
al key plays, as were Sparks,
Nors and Altus.
Nine: graduating seniors, sev-
en starters, played in this last
game. They were Whitley, Zato-
pek, Willig, Girard', Mynarcik,
Sparks, Lednicky, Nors and Al-
tus and they will be missed
greatly by the 1961 Trojan team.

The nation-wide manhunt for Lawrence C. Pope, Giddings news-
paper pebiishei and former president of The West National Bank
end’d at 3:30 ajc. Thursday morning when Pope was captured by
FBI agents n San Antonio.
The arrest was mad? after authorities received a phone call tip,
that a Ilian answering Pope’s description was seen driving a 1961
Volkswagen in the Aiamo City.
Pope is charged with the robberies of the First State Bank of
Thornton on November 5 and the Farmer's State Bank of Schulen-
burg on November 12.
A bulletin had been issued warning that Pope might kill any-
one that resisted him, but the FBI agents reported that Pope sur-
rendered without opposition, and said he was not armed when ar-
rested.
Pope told the agents that he had thrown away the weapon he
used in the robberies, and also the pictures he had taken of his
victims,.
Texas Ranger Captain Clint Peoples of Waco had warned that
the bandit who robbed the two banks of nearly $7,000 on succes-
sive Saturday afternoons, was dangerous and “he appeared to be a
sexual deviate; had torn clothing off bank employees and had
pulled a knife in the Schulenburg robbery.”
In the two robberies, women employees of the banks told police
the gunman forced them to disrobe partially and pose indecently
while he photographed them.

Officials Search for
Volkswagen
Law enforcement officials
serched for an off - white
Volkswagen, license number RK
2711, which Pope bought in
Houston. The Ranger Captain
reported that Pope had been. in
Houston Sunday, and that he
bought the car Monday, using
an assumed! name. He paid cash
for the 1961 foreign-made sports
model.
Pope paid $1800 for the new
car after he left his own car at a
radiator shop for repairs. The
fugitive telephoned a son-in-law
and asked him to take his car
to Giddings for repairs. The car
was taken there before Pope
was identified.
Family Shaken-Up
By Whole Affair
Mr- and Mrs. Pope moved
from West to Giddings on Oct.
1, where Pope had purchased an
interest in two weekly newspa-
pers, The Giddings Star and
Lexington Enterprise. Mr. Pope
lost his position at The West
National Bank on August 19,
following a disagreement on
policy with, bank directors.
Tide Popes came to West in
October 1958, from Houston
where he had been executive
vice president of The Gulfgate
State Bank. Pope was discharg-
ed from the bank in July of 1959.
for “inefficient operation,” ac-
der was issued for Pope Tues-
day, Capt. Peoples went to Gid-
dings where toe questioned Mrs,
Pope- He said Mrs. Pope and the
family appeared to have no
knowledge of where Pope might
be found, and Mrs. Pope could
give no reason to police why
her [husband committed the acts
for which he is charged.
The Pope’s have one married
daughter and two grandchildren
living in Houston.
“Mrs. Popq has cooperated
wonderfully,’’ Peoples said. “She
is tremendously shaken up by
the whole affair — it’s been a
horrible shock to her.”
She told officials that her
husband was gone Saturday,
Nov 5, not returning home un-
til late that night. He remain-
ed in Giddings through the elec-
tion Tuesday, but she said he
disappeared Wednesday, three
days before the Schulenburg
bank robbery, and she had not
seen him since.
Identified by Photo
In Papers
The Texas Department of
Public safety said in Austin that
positive identification of Pope
was made after a composite pho-
tograph of the suspect, prepared
by Department of Public Safety
identification specialist Thadd
Johnson in Waco, was released
to national newspaper wire serv-
ices from the Waco News-
Tribune office Monday after-
noon.
The composite was printed in
the Waco News-Tribune and
Austin American Tuesday morn-
ing, and it touched off a deluge
of telephone calls to law en-
forcement agencies in the Gid-
dings area.
“We don’t know exactly who
called in first,” Captain Peoples
said Tuesday night, “but there
were literally hundreds of calls.
The likeness was so strong that
one school principal held the
composite up in his class Tuesday
cording to the president, Albert moming and said, -This looks
