Westerners Tangle With San Angelo Tonight
Teams Said
Evenly Matched
Arfter losing their first game to
the Odessa Bronchos the Lubbock
Westerners will get another crack
at a District 3-AiA team tonight
when they meet the San Angelo
Bobcats in a grid feature starting at
8:30 at Tech stadium.
(Both teams are credited with their
first game of the season as a loss
and the teams are supposed to be
pretty evenly matched, therefore
the fans may expect a reproduction
of last years tangle between the
two foes in which the final score
was 13-13.
Claiming “experience as the best
teacher” the Westerners are ex-
pected to be better prepared for the
Bolbcats than they were last Friday
night, against Odessa. Prdbable
starters for the Westerners will be
Dick Schmidt at left end; Paul Wa-
ters, left tackle; Stony Wall, left
guard; Gene Ussery, center; L. D.
Pierce, right guard; Wayne Cobb,
right tackle; Dick Pirtle or Bob
Schmidt at right end; Noel Sikes at
quarterback; Donald Austin, right
half; Dwight Moore, left half; and
Bob Booker or John Lanham at
fullback.
Lubbock will run from the single
and doulble-wing back formations
while the Bobcats are expected to
go from a T-formation. San Angelo
(will support a larger team than
Lubbock and each Westerner will
be outweighed approximately ten
pounds.
The starting eleven for the Bob-
cats last Friday night against Den-
nison, who, incidentally, over-
powered San Angelo 26-6, were the
following boys, who will likely get
the nod tonight against the Wester-
ner gridders. Robert Ellis at left
end; Jimmit Haralson, left tackle;
Bob McKinney, left guard; Hubert
Wills, center; Leonard Grad, right
guard; Harold Headrick, right tack-
le; Walter Fraeker, right end; Hal
Wills, quarterback; Graham Rotton,
left half; Donald Taff, fullback; and
Brian Roberts at the right half post.
Breckenridge turned in the sur-
prise of the weekend as they jump-
ed on the supposedly strong Abilene
Eagles for a 19 to 6 victory. Odes-
sa came through as expected.
The Bronchos brought a much
larger team to Lubbock than was
expected. Odessa’s line averaged
175 pounds. Hhe backifield isn’t so
large, but they have a lot of speed.
Coach Joe Coleman’s squad had a
smooth offense working last Fri-
day night. Hayden Fry, with 2
years experience under the center
as the “T” formation, was the ideal
man for this spot. He handled the
ball nicely, even on laterals, con-
sidering how wet and slippery the
ball was.

Approximately 355 Girls
Enroll In Physical Ed.
Approximately 355 girls are en-
rolled in physical education this
year in LjH.S. These girls are di-
vided into five regular classes and
one individual physical education
class.
Mrs. John Wilson and Mrs. Julia
Cane, teachers of these classes,
stated that 45 of these girls are
seniors.
To begin the year’s activities, the
girls will have classes on physical
performance. Following this will
be a unit on speed ball, a combina-
tion of outdoor basketball and vol-
ley ball. The next unit will take
up tap, Mk and square dancing.
Instead of combining the course
on tumbling and basketball as was
done last year, all the girls will take
up basketball. To end the semes-
ter’s work there will be a unit on
games, relays, and contests.
Each Monday a course is given in
room 217. The girls learn which
hair styles, clothes, and make-up
best suit their individual personal-
ities. They also take up courses on
manners and problems -the girls
wish to discuss.
Next semester they will have a
unit on volleyball, followed by soft-
ball and perhaps tumbling.

Westerner eleven trailed 13-0 when
the final whistle blew last Friday
night at Tech stadium. Over eight
thousand fans watched the tussle in
misty, sometimes rainy weather.
The Westerners yielded a fair
defensive game but were weak of-
fensively and gained only six first
downs to the visitors’ eleven. ‘ By-
ron “S'antone” Townsend, All-Dis-
trict star, led the Bronchs on two
touchdown drives and kicked the
extra point of the game while the
Westerners, displaying fine team-
work, fielded no one man who was
exceptionally outstanding.
The game was played on an even
basis uptil early in the second
quarter when Odessa started on a
drive that led to a touchdown.
Townsend’s try for the extra point
was wide. The other score was
made at the first of the third quar-
ter after which Townsend kicked
the extra point ending the scoring
for the night.
Several other “paydirt-bound”
drives were launched by Odessa
only to be stopped by an alert Lub-
bock defense.

18-0 Victory From
MeadowInFirstGame
Coach Marlin R. “Shorty” Hay-
ihurst’s Cowhand Golds journeyed
to Meadow for their first game of
the season ,and brought back an
18-0 victory.
Coach Hayhursts third cowhand
team showed a smooth running of-
fense and a defense that couldn’t
be gained upon by the Meadow
boys.
The Golds kicked off and right
away had their opponents in a
hole. On their own 15, they kicked
out to the thirty five where the
ball went out of bounds. Then the
Cowhands ,sparked by Billy Travis
and Parker Stuart, drove down
to the 10 yard line, where Stuart
carried the ball over on an end
around.
The Golds kicked off again and
this time the Meadow team brought
it back to the 25. They drove to
the fifty before the Lubbock line
stopped them. The Golds took over
on the 50 again and smashed their
way to a touchdown, Stuart going
over this time from 5 yards out.
Shortly after the half ended with
the ball ready on Meadow’s 45.
Things rocked back arid forth
during the second half until a Mea-
dow back muffled a punt on his
own 30. The Cowhands drove for
their last touchdown and Stuart
scored again, this time on a center
Jelunga.
The Golds led 'all the way and
kept Meadow in their end of the
field. Cooper, guard and Charles
Williams ,end were two that got
their share of the tackles that kept
Meadow so well bottled up.

field was fast and they could run
off tackle and outside stuff very
well. That way Byron Townsend
and his mates beat Lubbock. Town-
send is fast and very slippery in an
open field. Donny Holderman and
Harvey Gabrel can rate right be-
hind him too. Coach Coleman had
good punting and a fair passing at-
tack to round off his attack.
But we think that without that
up-the-middle stuff, Odessa will run
into trouble against teams with a
defense equal to the one they met
last week for tackle to tackle as
well as some tough ends who can
han^e the off tackle and wide plays.
Blacks Defeated By
The Olton Mustangs,
19-0 Last Friday
The Cowhand Blacks took a 19-
0 beating at the hands of the Olton
Mustangs, Friday afternoon at Ol-
ton.
Olton, a favorite in district 3A
was ahead all of the way arid left
no odubt in anybody’s mind as to
which was the better team.
Coach Bennie McWilliams charges
played hard all the way, though,,
and were scrapping when the final
whistle blew.
The Blacks kicked off and Olton.
brought it back to their own 40
and on a sustained drive smashed
their way to score.
The two teams battled back and
forth up and down the field until
the fourth quarter.
The Mustangs with power finally
crushed the Cowhand defense and
they scored two quick touchdowns:,
to cinch the game.
For the Cowhands, it was Robert
RO'Oker who stole the show. On of-
fense and defense, he was a danger-
ous man and was generally in their
opponents hair
Gayland Brand and Jackie But-
ler were also outstanding in de-
fense and kept the score from climbs
ing So high.
