Wilbur Killebrew
Gets Scholarship
At Texas Tech
Wilbur Newton Killebrew jr.,
Texas Tech freshman major-
ing in chemical engineering,
is one of nine Tech students
awarded $2,480 worth of col-
lege scholarships, at the Lub-
bock school this week.
Killebrew has been awarded
one of the $200 Inez Carter
scholarships offered to stu-
dents from the eastern Pan-
handle counties bordering
Gray county.

tied one (with Class B Groom)
but scout reports indicate that
the Bucks have a potentially
dangerous offensive thrust,
particularly in the air, and
Wildcat Coach Grady Burnett
is looking for a hard game.
- The two teams will be
closely matched in weight,
although the Bucks will hold
an advantage in the line with
one 190-pounder at tackle and
another at end.
Ernest Reusch, 6-foot 5-inch
190-pounder, was one of the
best ends in the district last
year; and Ronald Wrinkle, a
190-pound 5-foot 9-inch Jun-
ior, will plug one of the tackle
spots with J. Parsons, 178-
pounds and 6-feet tall provid-
ing senior grid experience at
the other.
Jerry Mills, senior halfback,
is probably one of the fastest
runners in the district; and
quarterback Don Essary packs
an accurate throwing arm.
The Wildcats will be back
at nQ rty* full strength for
Friday *«ight's game, howev-
er. Johnny Grist, hard-driving
fullback, has recovered from
an attack of "flu" which side-
lined him- for the Perryton
game; and burly tackle Hoot
Wright is also off the ailing
list.
Co-captain and tackle Bob
Cochran, and halfback Garner
Schoenhals, both out of the
line-up for the Perryton game,
are still not up to par and
may see limited service Fri-
day night; but other members
of the team are ready to go.
barring last-minute injuries
or illnesses.
TUa Wildcats wére- idle last
week-end after losing a bruis-
ing 46-14 decision at Perryton
two weeks ago.
The Bucks went down 21 to
0 before the Lefors Pirates
last Friday night, but put up
a good battle before the heav-
ier Pirates got rolling in the
last half. Their other loss this
season was to the strong Clar-
endon Broncos 31 to 7 two
weeks ago. The Bucks tied
the Groom Tigers 6-6 in the
September 7 opener.
In their ten previous post-
war meetings, the Wildcats
hold eight victories . . . one
of them by penetrations after
a tie game.

Commissioners
Court Splits Vote
An attempt to scuttle the South River Road as
Hemphill County's next farm-to-market paving
project was defeated by a split vote in a special
Commissioners Court session last Thursday af-
ternoon.
The River Road, extending east from Canadi-
an along the south bank of the Canadian River,
had been designated as this county's "Number
One Farm-to-Market project" by the Commis-
sioners Court on May 14.
Last Thursday's special
Commissioners Court session
was called, according to the
Court minutes, at the request
of Highway Depart men* Dis-
trict Engineer J>.men G. Lott
of Amarillo, who has stead-
fastly opposed designation of
the River Road for farm-to-
market paving for several
years.
At the special session, a
motion was made by Com-
missioner Ross Adcock and
seconded b y Commissioner
Paul Ramsey that the Court
"rescind its action of May 14
wherein the River Road east
of Canadian was made the
Number One project for state
road construction for Hemp-
hill County."
Adcock's motion was defeat-
ed on á split vote, with Ram-
sey and Adcock voting for the
motion and Commissioners
Orla Curnutt and Tom Tipton
voting against it. County
Judge E. C. Fisher cast the
tie-breaking vote against Ad-
cock's motion, allowing the
previous designation of the
River Road to stand.
Lott then told the Court that
funds would probably be
available to permit paving of
two to three miles of the road
from Canadian east.
Designation of the River
Road for this county's next
farm-to-market paving allot-
ment had been made last
spring over Lott's opposition.
A Hemphill County delega-
tion, including members of
the Commissioners Court,
land-owners on the River
Road, and Canadian Chamber
of Commerce representatives,
had met with the Highway
Commission in Austin early
in May to ask consideration
for the River Road route, and
State Highway Engineer D. C.
Greer advised the Commis-
sioners Court after the Austin
hearing that the Highway
Commission would consider
the project when the new
farm-to-market road program
is formulated.
A delegation of landowners,
including Frank Shaller, Ev-
elyn Newton, I. E. Jackson,
Abe Hildenbrand, Carl Cans-
ler, and J. L Cleveland then
met with the Commissioners
Court on May 21 to ask for
county designation of the
route as the No. 1 project.
At that time, the Court ap-
proved by a 3-0 vote a reso-
lution stating that "Hemphill
County Commissioners go on
/record making approximately
5 miles of the South River
Road, running east from Ca-
nadian to the Tubb cattle
