San Angelo, Lions Win;
Abilene Loses 33 To 21
San Angelo and Brownwood
•won their season non-conference
openers Friday night in Dis-
trict 5-AA, while the defending
champions, Abilene Eagles, met
defeat. Sweetwater’s Mustangs
chalked up their second non

bed Vernon, 19 to 6; and Abilene
• lost to Fort Worth Arlington

The Bobcats rolled up 38
points in the first half and went
on to hand Coach Larry Prid
dy’s Gainesville team its worst
shellacking in many years San
Angelo had four touchdowns
nullified by penalties. All total-
ed, the officials assessed the Bob-
cats 155 yards in penalties.
Backs Bill Warrick, Dwight
Trice, Denny Southworth and
Gerald Baker put the Bobcats
into the state limelight and
caused many to wonder why
they were not picked as the 5-A
favorites.
Guardi Ray Barrett, 'Tackle
limmy Magill and End Jimmy
Campbell were the stars on the
Bobcat line. The Bobcats led in
first downs, lfi-8, and yards
rushing, 292 to 99.
The Brownwood Lions had to
come from behind in the third
quarter to beat the Coleman
Bluecats of 7-A at Coleman—
Gene Koglesong put Brown-
wood into a first quarter 6-0
lead with a four-yard plunge.

the second period, the conver-
sion was good, and the Bluecats
took a 7-6 lead. Baker was hurt

Bright 01 Clovis
Cops Bat Crown
By liillcct Pros.
Harry Bright, stellar Chicago
Cub farmhand with the Clovis
Pioneers, won the West Texas-
New Mexico League batting
championship with a sparkling
.113 average, but it took the
'breakage” of percentages to
qualify him for the title.
Minor league rules say a bat-
ting champion has to play in
two-thirds of his team's gam-
es and Bright, who doubled be-
tween shortstop and catcher,
participated in 95 contests. Two-
thirds of Clovis’ 143 games
would lie 95.33, the fraction be-
ing less than one-half and giv-
ing Bright the chance. Late-sea-
son rainouts kept him from
playing in more.
Otherwise, .Joe Fortin, Pam-
pa veteran, would have taken
ilie crown with a respectable
4(41 mark. Rounding out the
top five were Jodie Beeler of
Latnesa at .396, Hershel Martin
of Albuquerque at .389 and Lyle
Palmer of Albuquerque at .388.
Fortin led the league in hits
(236), total bases (3764 and
runs batted in (1714: Palmer in
runs 11(>4 >: Beeler in doubles
(53); Crawford Howard of Ama-
rillo in home runs (37); Mike
Dooley of Lubbock in stolen
bases (30), and Jim Marshall of
Albuquerque in triples (17).
Don Cantrell of Albuquerque
had the best pitching average, a
769 on a 20-6 record, but Roy
Parker of Pampa hogged the
other hurling laurels. Parker
set a new league record with
?7 wins and also led in innings
pitched (297), strikeouts (256)
and complete games 130)
When he wasn't pitching.
Parker played in the outfield
and finished ninth place in bat
ting .366.

que for the club batting crown
