Schoolboy Crowns
Due This Week
By HAROLD V. RATLIFF , the surprise of the south, at Aus-
Associated Press Sports Writer tin Saturday night. Donna, loser
Texas schoolboy football crowns j 0-j- jWQi games, wasn’t expected to
its state champions this week and
the diadems appear jut the right
sizes to fit Wichita Falls, Dumas,
Quanah and Albany .
Climaxing to 3% - month cam-
paign, the four - pronged race
grinds to a close with all finals
within a period of 26 hours.
Undefeated, untied Wichita
Falls, in the finals for a fourth
straight year, seeks its fifth Class
AAAA championship. It will battle
Lonce-beaten, but not lately, Gale-
fna Park at Fort Worth Saturday
"afternoon.
Dumas, with an 11-2 record but
with untrammeled' power down
the stretch, clashes with Neder-
land, a former state champion
with a 10-2-1 record, for the Class
AAA championship. They will play
at Dallas Saturday afternoon.
Quanah unbeaten and untied
through 14 games, meets Donna,
Quarterbacks'
Battle Looms
HOUSTON (IP) — The Rice-Kan-
sas Bluebonnet Bowl football
game Saturday could be a quar-
terbacks’ battle.
Both teams will have dangerous
signal callers in the nationally
(televised game from Houston’s
Rice Stadium in Kansas’ John
Hadl, a senior, and the Owls’
Randy Kerbow, a junior.
The 197-pound Kansas senior
gained almost 1,000 yards for the
Jayhawks in 10 games with his
running and passing. He was Kan-
sas’ second’ ranked scorer with 38
points. And he returned kicks for
356 yards.
Hadl gained 665 yards on 44
pass completions and gained 283
yards on 128 rushing plays. That
adds up to 958 yards on 172
plays.
Kerbow only scored 12 points
for Rice this year, but his arm
and legs picked up 754 yard's for
the Owls and accounted for five
touchdowns.
n round for the state playoff,
especially with such outfits as
Sweeny in the way.
Albany, winner of 28 games in
a row—the longest skein in the
state — goes after its second
straight Class A title against Hull-
Daisetta at Corsicana Friday
night. Hull-Daisetta is unbeaten
and untied through 14 games.
Three former state champions—
Wichita Falls in 1941-49-50-58, Ne-
derland in 1957 and' Albany in
1960—are in the field and it is
possible for three unbeaten cham-
pions to emerge. But the only fi-
nal that matches undefeated, un-
tied teams is the Albany clash
with Hull-Daisetta.
Wichita Falls, spearheaded by
all-state fullback Larry Shields,
swept over Fort Worth Paschal
41-12 last week to bound into the
finals. It was simply amazing how
the Coyotes, playing without their
regular quarterback, Mike Kelly,
pulverized a good Paschal team.
Galena Park, whose lone loss
was to Brazosport inside the dis-
trict, pulled one of th ebig upset:
of the season as it knocked down
Corpus Christi Ray 21-6. But it
doesn't seem quite up to handling
what may be the finest Wichita
Falls team of them all.
Dumas lashed Gainesville 29-0
while Nederland staged another
upset in toppling previously un-
beaten, untied San Benito 22-15
Yet Nederland will definitely be
an underdog against the mighty
Demons of the west.
Quanah earned its favorite role
by slamming Jacksboro, the team
that was supposed to win the
championship ,13-0. Donna showed
it was no fluke—this getting into
the big playoff—as it removed
Brady, an ex-champion, 16-14.
Albany was fearsome in its me-
thodically perfect 28-6 victory over
unbeaten, untied Wink. Hull-
Daisetta rode over the least
known team in the race—Grove
ton—14-0.
Ten all-staters will be seen in
the four games—Shields for Wich-
ita Falls and end Doyle Johnson
of Galena Park; end Kelly Baker
and quarterback Mike Boxwell ol
Dumas and end James Overstreet
of Nederland; tackle Darrell
Barnes of Quanah and end Rock
Hill, guard Bill Stapp and fullbac!
Johnny Agan of Albany and quar
terback Gene Walker of Hull
Daisetta.
upset out of their bag of tricks
Saturday night v/hen they handed
the potent Lampasas Badgers
their first defeat of the season,
34-26, in a game played in the
Taylor High gym. The Duck B
team gained revenge for an ear-
lier overtime defeat at the hands
of the Badger Bees by opening
33-26. victory that made it a per
feet; night for Taylor.
Both varsity squads were cold
from the field, but a combination
of good rebounding and fine de-
fensive work enabled the Ducks
to carve out their win. The us-
ually high scoring visitors were
limited to 11 field goals, fewer
than their ace scorer, Tommy
Patterson, is used to hitting
alone. By the same token the
Ducks were only able to hit a
miserable twenty-four per cent
from the floor but they got 28
rebounds with Ervin Isensee and
Rito Hernandez each contribut-
iny seven. Nine of the rebounds
were important offensive grabs
that enabled the Ducks to pretty
well control Ithe game.
It took a terrific team effort to
contain the Badgers and Taylor
rose to the occasion. Hernandez
and Dennis Mucha had one of
their better defensive nights and
Mucha also contributed 12 points
to the Duck total, following Doug
Ruthven who pumped in 13. John
Bush of the losers was tjhe
game’s leading scorer with 15
points.
The Ducks were never behind
in the game starting with Mu-
cha’s free throw and adding two
more charity tosses by Ruthven
and Hernandez before Hernandez
finally got the first field goal of
the game with 3:06 remaining in
the first quarter. Aubry Brown
finally broke the Lampasas
drought at 1:38 with a free throw
and Bush hit the first of his out-
side shots to narrow it to 5-3.
Then Ruthven drove the base-
ine, but Bush countered so Tay-
lor only had a 7-5 lead at the
end of the quarter.
The Badgers brought a large
contingent of fans, in fact, they
just about equaled the number
that had turned out to cheer the
Ducks; so it was a disappointed
group that viewed the happenings
of the second quartet. Expecting
surge, Badger supporters only
The Taylor Ducks pulled a big finding even the free throw tine
hard to score from as they miss-
ed out on four chances to get
back in the scoring. After Mucha
had pitched in a rebound Bush
hit from the circle to be the only
Badger to find the range, and. al-
though the Ducks had repeated
chances to break 'the game open,
they too found the ring hard to
penetrate and went down at half-
time ahead, 18-9.
Remembering the first meeting
between the- two teams when the
Ducks drpped their season’s open-
er in Lampasas, 54-29, and a great
ten point third quarter spree by
Patterson had set the pace, Duck
partisans were leary when the
fine senior gunner got his first
field goal as the third quarter
opened. When he hit from the
key, the quarter was almost half
over; but then Ruthven got the
Ducks a basket before Patterson
canned another beauty from the
head of the free throw circle, 20-
15. Mucha came to the scoring
rescue by making a field goal
and a free throw in the last min-
ute of the quarter to inch the
Ducks out in front again, 24-15
Taylor started slowing the game
down in the fourth quarter and
when Mucha’s free throw gave
.he Ducks an eleven point, 27-16,
advantage, the Badgers went into
their full court press. The maneu-
ver looked as though it would
enable Lampasas to pull the game
cut: of the fire and do in the the
final tour minutes what they’d
been unable to do in the previous
three and a half quarters. With
Bush leading the way, the visitors
were able to pull up to 28-26 be-
fore Ihe Ducks settled down and
got back in (he ball game. With
1:01 left and only a two point
lead; Taylor got. a bonus when
a technical foul was called on the
Badgers. Hernandez made the
free throw, and since Taylor then
got the ball out of bounds, the
penality cost Lampasas three
ooints because Mucha scored a
field goal on the ensuing throw
in. Oly 33 seconds remained

Since 1930
saw the ice grow thicker on the
Lampasas bucket as Ruthpen
took the tip for the Ducks first
field goal of the new eight min-
utes. When Lampasas shot and
missed, Isensee tired out to
Youngblood who fed' to Mucha for
another basket. Then Hernandez
added a free throw and Ruthven
hit from the side. When Ruthven
hit from the side of' the land
again, Taylor had shot out to
a 16-5 advantage, but Hernandez
got his third foul and .Coach Rick
Sherley took the senior sharp-
shooter out of the game for the
remainder of the quarter. Bush
finally got a rebound' and made
strong in the third quarter and
nearly turn a pressing defense
into a victory. Lampasas made
11 points in the third quarter
and had a 24-18 lead before Tay-
lor came to life again on two
straight baskets by Kind.
Trailing 22-24 at the beginning
of the final quarter, Coach Jere
Nichols’ charges went to work.
They fed Mann for two straight
baskets to retake the lead and
from then on they were never
headed. Although the scoring of
Taylor’s eleven fourth quarter
points was divided between Kind
and Mann, good work by the en-
tire Duck quintet enabled them
to beat the Badger press. Wayne
Schroeder fouled out in the fourth
quarter after doing a fine de-
fensive job and helping Mann on
the beards and Billy Mucha
came in for the freshman base-
liner and filled in well. The Ducks
outscored their foes 13-11 from
the field and made 7 of 16 free
throw attempts compared to
8 out of 27 for Lamsasas.
Both squads go to Rockdale
Tuesday night to meet the Tieers
in a double header. Rockdale
boasts one of its strongest cage
teams in recent years and rang
up its last victory Friday night
when they beat AAA Brenham
in two over-times. The Tigers
finished second in the Belton
tournament. This is a prelude to
the Taylor Invitational Tourna-
ment that opens Thursday night
in the Taylor High gym with
eight strong teams in the lineup
Two games will be played on
Thursday night and Friday night
and championships will be run off
on Saturday with the finals being
held on Saturday night.

Fullmer Top
lay Laborer'
LAS VEGAS, Nev. ® —Gene
Fullmer has got to be the work-
ing man’s candidate for “Man of
the Year.” As a boxer, a world
champion, he is a magnifeent
day laborer.
There is nothing spectacular
about Fullmer. He just uses his
hands, and maybe a little elbow
grease and a shoulder here ‘and
there, to lift the bale, tote that
load, and' knock the hell out of the
other guy in the ring.
It’s- just like any other working
stiff. It brings home the bacon
Tit also keeps Gene in his proud-
est possession, the National Box-
ing Association portion of the
world middleweight championship.
Saturday night Fullmer in
the same dig-that-ditch fashion
knocked out Benny (Kid) Paret
in 10 rounds to keep his cherished
title, and wreck Benny’s dream
of becoming a double visio?
champion.
Paret owns the world welter-
weight, or 147-pound champion
ship. For Saturday night’s effort
the Cuban kid weighed 156% and
Gene 159%.
There was really nothing singu-
lar about Fullmer’s victory.

when Bush fouled out on Her-
nandez and once again the Duck
forward came through in the
clutch to make both shots of a
one and one situation. Patterson
went to the free throw line for
the Badgers with 6 seconds left,
but he missed and Younblood
took the rebound and was driv-
ing for another Duck basket when
he was fouled into the wall of
the gym and had to leave the
game. What was feared to he a
serious knee injury to the sen-
