Marriage vows were exchanged

of God Church in this city to unite
Miss Patricia Ann Whitaker, daugh-
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Roscoe Whit-
aker, of this city, and Staff Ser-
geant Robert F. Campbell of Shep-
pard Air Force Base, son of Mr.

the double ring ceremony.
Pre-nuptial music was provided
by Mrs. V. W. Marcontel, pianist,
and Mrs. Berry Findley, vocalist.
Mrs. Marcontel also played the
processional and recessional.
Rites were read before a set-
ting that consisted of large baskets
of white gladioli against a back-
ground of greenery. Soft illumina-
tion was furnished by burning tap-
ers which were lighted by Misses
Hazel Roberson and Marlene John-
s o n . The candlelighters wore
identically styled frocks of orchid-
colored organdy, white corsages
and white accessories.

pink organdy and carried a cor-
sage of white carnations.

The bride, given in marriage by
her uncle, John Linscott, was love-
ly in a street length dress of white
nylon, white lace hat and white
shoes. Her bouquet, carried atop
a white Bible, consisted of a sin-
gle pink orchid nestled among
white carnations. She also observ-
ed the tradition of “something old,
something new" in her bridal cos-
tume.
Following the exhange of vows,
a wedding reeption was held at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. John
Linscott. Assisting in serving the
punch and bride’s cake were Mmes.

The happy young couple left
immediately on a trip to Fort
Worth and Dallas. For travel, the
bride chose a suit of brown linen
with which she wore a white lace j
blouse and black velvet accesso-
ries. Her corsage was the single
orchid from her bridal bouquet.
On August 1, the groom will re-
ceive his discharge from the Air
Force after four years’ service.
He is a graduate of Metter High
School and attended Georgia Tech
one year before entering the serv-
ice. Upon hi» discharge, he will
take his bride on a honeymoon trip

FOR WORTH, July 31—Othol
(Abe) Martin, TCU offense coach,
took time out this week from clean
ing windshields at his Fort Worth
service station to talk football.
Martin will assist Coach Dutch
Meyer of TCU in tutoring the
South All-Stars in the annual all-
star football game of the Texas Hi
School Coaches Association clinic
here the night of Friday, August
8, at TCU’s Amon Carter Field.
Will you and Dutch have any
trouble styling a defense for Jim
Tatum’s Maryland Split-T forma-
tion?
“We always do have trouble at
TCU trying to stop the Split-T"
Martin answered.
Will Tatum, as coach of the
North All-Stars, have any diffi-
culty planning a defense for the
South’s spread formation?
“He’ll have a pretty tough time,”
Martin explained.
Who is favored to win the game
and how do the teams stack up?
“There’s no favorite. It will be
pretty even and the team with a
lot of luck will win it,” he added.
Is that all?
“Well, it should be a fast, good,
well-played game, wide-open and
lots of scores,’* Martin concluded.
Tickets for the game have been
moving briskly at the Central Tick-
et Office at Hotel Texas. They are
$1.80 for reserved seats in the west
stand, $1.20 for the east stand gen-
