Houston 'Rebels'
Picked by Most
For Ball Club
HOUSTON (ffl — The Houston
Sports Association didn’t know
what it was getting into.
In November the officials of
the HSA announced a contest to
select a name for the Houston
baseball team that will start play-
ing in the National League in
1962.
More than 12,000 entries have
flooded the HSA office here. Sug-
gestions have come from almost
all the states, Canada, Ecuador,
England and Turkey.
Some of the names suggested
are whacky. Some are good.
Houston’s three newspaper sports
editors will pick the winners aft-
er the HSA trims the list dovyn
to a reasonable number. .
.“Rebels” is the most suggested
name. Next come “Sams,” for
Gen. Sam Houston, “Generals,”
“Drillers,” and “Rangers.”
John Mabel of the Carlevoix,
Mich., chapter of the Society for
the preservation of Barbershop
Quartet singing in America didn’t
put his suggestion to music but he
sent in the most names—192.
His list includes “Swindlers,”
“Side Winders,” “Madmen,”
“Boasters,” “Gamblers,” “Russ-
lers,” and “Meanies.”
The Rev. A. S. Knapp of Hous-
ton suggesded “Our Houston Ball
Club,” because that’s probably
what it will be called anyway.
One entry, from Philadelphia,
pleaded simply: “The Houston
Pittsburgh Pirates.”

gue pitcher at Havana, has sign-
ed a contract with the Houston

chise.

Tuesday Night
Aggies Next to Face
Red Hot Red Raiders
By HAROLD V. RATLIFF
Associated Press Sports Writer
Texas Tech, riding on top with
a five-game winning streak,
meets Texas A&M at College Sta-
tion while Arkansas and Texas
battle at Fayetteville Tuesday
night in action that could cut the
big four of Southwest Conference
basketball to two.
These games involve the teams
left strictly in the title running.
Tech leads with 7-1 while Texas,
Arkansas and Texas A&M are
tied for second with 5-3.
Texas Tech can become a
heavy favorite for the title should
it lick the Aggies for the second
time—the Red Raiders beat A&M
74-58 to start their streak that has
shot them two games out front.
The winner of the Arkansas-
Sul Ross Next
For ISC Leader
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Stephen F. Austin leads the
Lone Star Conference basketball
race with less than three weeks to
go and barring some startling up-
sets should get no worse than a
tje for the championship.
The Lumberjacks whipped How-
ard Payne 70-62 last week to take
over the top rung with a 7-1 rec-
ord.
Howard Payne dropped into a
second place tie with Lamar
Tech.
Stephen F. Austin Plus Sul
Ross at Nacogdoches Monday,
East Texas state at Commerce
State at Nacogdoches Saturday,
and will be favored to win all
three.
Next week comes a game with
Lamar Tech, which, if it sur-
vives engagements with Sam
Houston and East Texas State
Monday and Saturday nights could
gain a tie for the lead by beating
Stephen F. Austin.

Texas game would become the
leading contender.
Embittered Texas A&M, which
fell two games away when it was
upset by lowly Texas Christian,
68-66, Saturday night, could throw
the race into a three-way propo-
sition by toppling Tech. Then
Tech, the Aggies and the Texas-
Arkansas winner would be bunch-
ed with only a game separating
the leaders from the two runners-
up.
But there are few who will pre-
dict that Texas Tech is to falter
now. The Raiders get better with
each game and ride high with
their Mutt and Jeff combination
of big Harold Hudgens and little
Del Ray Mounts.
And Tech is doing the best work
on the road, the place where
championships are won. True the
only defeat for the Raiders was
on a foreign field when they lost
to’ Texas 63-55, but they beat Ar-
kansas, Southern Methodist and
Texas Christian away for the best
road record in the league.
Texas, the defending champion,
has a most unusual record. The
Longhorns beat both Texas Tech
and Texas A&M but lost to the
likes of Texas Christian and Rice.
Tech whipped Arkansas 72-66
and Southern Methodist 88-67 last
week while the only other team
to win all its games was Texas
Christian, which whacked Baylor
85-77 before toppling Texas A&M
The Aggies split, with a 79-59 de-
feat of Rice preceding the TCU
upset. Southern Methodist also
split, first beating Texas 70-63
and then taking the hammering
from Tech. Texas managed to
trim Baylor 68-65 in its other
game of the week.
Rice and Baylor clash at Waco
and Southern Methodist takes on
Texas Christian at Dallas in oth-
er games Tuesday night.

Tuesday Night
The District 20AA Champior
Ducks will play their final re
pilar game of the season tomor-
■ow night when they invade the
lest of the always dangerous
Georgetown Eagles. This will be
he final district game of the
/ear and while Taylor has already
assured itself of the title, the
Cagles would like nothing better
than to finish their season by
knocking over their old rivals.
Taylor will be trying to round
out an undefeated district sea
son and at the same time to ex-
tend their consecutive win streak.
The win streak now stands at 15
and the Eagles were victims
number one and 11 in the skein.
The Ducks now have a seasons
record of 20-5 and a district tal-
ly of 7-0.
Taylor will be led by their four
seniors making their final ap-
pearance against Georgetown, Ed-
ward Goetz, Darrell Mott, Billy
Davis and Douglas Zellmer. This
foursome will be joined by jun-
ior Jimmy Kind.
Game time in Georgetown is
6:45 for the B game and ap-
proximately 8:15 for the A game.
It is hoped a large following from
Taylor will help to off-set the
home court advantage of the
Eagles.

Tourney Victory
Early Birthday
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. ®—
Mickey Wright, the tall power
hitter of women’s golf, celebrated
her birthday two days early this
year. The biggest present was a
$1,247 check.
The 25-year-old professional has
been tabbed by many as poten-
tially the best woman golfer ever
to swing a club. She came close
to realizing that potential with a
five-under men’s par perform-
ance for 72 holes in winning the
St. Petersburg open by four
strokes Sunday.
The 5-foot-9 blonde from San
Diego, Calif., turned in a card of
72-70-67-70-279.
Her first St. Petersburg title
came over Louise Suggs of At-
lanta, who finished with a 73 Sun-
day after three consecutive
rounds of 70.

Hi!
Saturday night the Teen Den
held its annual Valentine dance.
Highlight of the occasion was the
crowning of the queen. Rosemary
Moore reigned as the Valentine
Queen and her attendants were
Jeanette Dickason, escorted by
John Richards, and Nelda Mott,
escorted by Kelly Marek.
The queen and her attendants
danced the first dance after the
coronation by Mr. Tom Galbreath,
sponsor for the Teen Den, and
then the rest of the crowd joined
in.
The semi-formal dance was
held from 8 to 12 o’clock at the
Teen Den in Murphy Park. The
Teen Den took on an atmosphere
of Valentine’s Day in red and
white. Miniature white net hearts
were suspended from the ceiling
on red ribbons and red cupids
and hearts on white lacy doilies
adorned' the walls.
The refreshment table was cen-
tered with a heart in red on a
base of styrofoam.
The “Valentine Sweetheart” and
her attendants were presented
with red and white carnation bou-
quets.
The Valentine issue of the “Cot-
ten Boll” came out Friday. Bud-
gie Ford, football hero turned
journalist, wrote a very clever
feature on “Is Kissing Sanitary?”
Budgie did a lot of serious scien-
tific research and investigation
on this subject and came up
with quite an interesting story.
You just must read it. To give
you an idea of what it’s about,
I’d like to quote the story: “Be-
cause of the enjoyment, pleasure,
and contentment of this emotional
reaction it has spread like wild
fire since its origin, which is be-
lieved to have been during the
early Roman empire or possibly
before this time in uncivilized
countries.” See what I mean?
January 27 to February 5 was
National Youth Week and the lo-
cal churches held early morning
devotional services for the youth
Christ We Follow,’
Church.”

of Taylor, Tex., receives a high school equivalency
certificate from Maj. Jerome Rudberg, commander
of the Medical Detachment at the 97th General
Hospital in Germany. Balusek, a medical specialist
at the hospital, completed his secondary education
through the development program of the U.S.
Armed Forces Institute which offers correspond-
ence courses at both high school and college levels.
The son of Joe E. Balusek, Taylor, he entered the
Army in 1946 and arrived overseas on this tour of
duty in July 1958. His wife, Edith, is with him
in Germany. _-u.s. Army Photo
of Taylor. Later in the week an
assembly was held, and then a
youth rally completed the week.
The F.B.L.A. Club (Future Bus-
iness Leaders of America) has
come up with a new idea. In-
stead of electing a club sweet-
heart or tne like, they plan, to
announce the “Miss Secretary”
of this school year. She will be
chosen from the senior members
of the club on the.basis of grades,
personality, effort, and coopera-
tion by the business teachers and
two other teachers. In years be-
fore, the club elected “Mr. and
Miss F.B.L.A.,” but have decided
that this contest would really pick
a student with business and pro-
fessional qualities.
Mr. Dan Holland of the Taylor
High faculty, physics and geome-
try teacher, has left this posi-
tion to serve with the General
Electric Corporation in Tyler. Mr.
Lewis of Austin has taken his
place. Another new member of
the faculty is Mr. Willie Schlickei-
sen, mid-term graduate of South-
western in Georgetown, who is
taking Coach John Groom’s place
as American history and civics
teacher.
