LEOPARDS WIN
THIRD IN MEET
AT ROCKDALE
IjG Blasts Brenham,
Elgin Before Going
Down To Austin ‘5’
The La Grange Leopard cag-
ers, after copping two straight,
gave a highly touted 4-A
quintet a grand fight of it be-
fore dropping a 10-point decis-
ion, and closed out with third
place in Rockdale’s invitation-
al cage tourney last weekend.
The purple and gold were
trailing Austin’s McCallum by
just 34-36 in the semi-finals,
but the tourney favorites went
into a decisive lead in the third
period when the Knights out-
pointed the locals by 20-9. La
Grange came back fast in the
final canto, making 20 to the
Austinites’ 19, and lost the de-
cision, 75-65.
Jack Dyer was high point-
er for the Leps with a 21-point
effort.
The Leps blasted their old
arch rivals, the Brenham Cubs,
in Thursday’s opener to the
tune of 61-54. La Grange had
lost twice to the Cubs in earl-
ier season games.
Ricky Blume was the big
gun in the Leopard attack, rop-
ing nine field goals and two
foul throws for 20 points. Jack
Dyer contributed 15 points to
the winners’ cause, and Bob
Berry notched 14.
Otis Haarmeyer was the
Cubs’ leader, scoring 19 on
nine field goals and one foul
attempt.
The Leopards of Coach Har-
vey McNeill walloped Elgin’s
Wildcats by 68-55 in a second
round game Friday.
La Grange later lost to
Rockdale, 64-37, to cop third
place, while the hosts went on
to defeat McCallum. 64-58, to
win their own tornament.

GIRLS LEAD BOYS
IN BIRTHS AT FMH
The fair sex outshone the
males for the first time in five
years in 1961, when births of
girl babies led boy arrivals at
Fayette Memorial hospital.
The year ended with 80 lit-
tle lassies making their debut,
as compared with 73 boys, or a
total of 153.
By comparison, 88 baby boys
and 68 girls (total 156) arriv-
ed at the hospital in 1960, in
1959 the score was 92 boys and
66 girls, 1958’s count was 80
boys and 65 girls, and for 1957,
it was 101 boys and 87 girls.
The score was even-steven
In 1956—87 boys and 87 girls.
There were no multiple

and none in 1960, either.

BLUME IS STAR
IN GRAY VICTORY
Little Butch Blume gave 1^
Grange some nationwide pi o-
licity Saturday when he
ed, ran and tackled in
ranked fashion to lead
South to a 9-7 victory in the
annual Blue-Gray all-star grid
classic at Montgomery, Ala.
The game was nationally tel-
evised.
The mighty mite from La
Grange, who led Southwest
Conference in scoring the past
season as a sparkplug for the
Rice Owls, kicked a 37-yard
field goal that gave the Gray
the triumph. This surpassed his
best previous effort of 34 yards.
The three-pointer was the
sixth of the season for Blume,
who scored 74 points for Rice
during the regular campaign.
The 170-pound former La
Grange Leopard star also play-
ed a fine running game, and,
late in the tilt. saved what
might have led to another Blue
counter via a pass intercept-
ion.
Precipitation might have
been much under normal had
it not been for Hurricane Car-
la back in September. Ten and
four-hundredths inches were
gauged during the three days
of the hurricane period—and
that was all but .19 of the en-
tire total for that month.
Rainfall was officially re-
corded on 59 days of the past
year, and there were traces on
10 other days. Comparatively,
it rained on 83 days in 1960,
with Laces on nine others.

Start of construction of the
new dial exchange building for
the Southwestern States Tele-
phone Co. here gave La
Grange a big boost in its build-
ing permit total for the year
just ended.
The SWS permit of an even
$100,000 brought the talley for
the last quarter of 1961 to
$123,700—-more than for the
first three quarters combined
—and set the figure for the
year at $240,331.
A year ago the building per-
mit talley was $257,106, ac-
cording to records in the office
of Mrs. Elvira Saxon, city sec-
retary. That was greater than
any year since 1956, when
$392,375 in permits were is-
sued.
The in-between totals in-
cluded $236,500 for 1959, $161,-
540 for 1958. and $142,800 for
1957.
Interesting to note is the fact
that—outside of the one large
item for the telephone compa-
ny—a big portion of the 1961
permits were for residence
construction and home im-
provements.
And the phone building is
not the only major project un-
derway at this time. Texas
Timbers, Inc., is currently in
process of building its new
plant here, but it is located
just outside of the city limits
and, therefore, is not subject
to a permit.
The following permits were
issued by the city secretary
during the final 1961 quarter:
Emil V. Baca, W. LaFayette
St., work shop, $1,000.
O. H. Hoelter, N. Jefferson
