The Wildcat Reserves had
rolled up an overwhelming
margin in yardage gained
(143 net yards from scrim-
mage against 34 for Welling-
ton), plus 91 yards through
the air to 7 for the Rockets
. . . but also absorbed 61
yards in penalties to 40 for
the Wellington gridders . . .
and couldn't muster a scoring
punch until the final seconds
of the game.
The Skyrockets had led 6-0
after a second period touch-
down, and appeared to have
the game on ice late in the
fourth quarter after O'Rear
had intercepted Urschel's pass
to put Wellington in posses-
sion at midfield with less than
30 seconds left to play.
At that point, however,
Rocket Quarterback Carter
chose to pass, and whipped a
short flat aerial right into the
face of Wildcat end Clois
Beaty who was charging in
on the passer.
Beaty caught the toss and.
without breaking stride, sped
past the bewildered quarter-
back and raced 60 yards to a
touchdown to tie the score.
Don Anderson was trapped
short of the goal line on a
drive at right end lor the ex-
tra point and the game ended
with the kick-off to the Rock-
ets one play later.
The Wellington touchdown
came late in the second period
when Rocket Fullback Lock-
hart took a 39-yard punt from
Danny Urschel on the Well-
ington 20-yard line and sped
80 yards to pay dirt. The ex-
tra-point try failed.
The first quarter of the ball
game was marked by fum-
bles, with the ball changing
hands five times on miscues
in rapid succession.
The Wildcats made a strong
bid after the Rocket touch-
down, aided by two long pass
completions from Urschel to
Clapper for 35 and 20 yards,
but penalties kept them out
of scoring range. A 35-yard
pass to Clapper on the first
play after the kick-off gave
the Wildcats a first down on
the Wellington 29 yard line,
and after a running pass to
Beaty had been cancelled by
an illegal procedure ruling,
Urschel fired again to Clap-
per who made a tremendous
leaping catch on the Rocket
14 yard line. A 15-yard pen-
alty at_that point wiped out
an 8-yard end sweep by An-
derson and set the Wildcats
back to the 29 and two more
5-yard penalties moved them
back to the 39 before the of-
fense rolled again.
Urschel picked up 5 yards
over tackle, and Don Ander-
son circled right end for 14
yards to the Rocket 20 ... and
with time running out, An-
derson struck at right end
again and was in the clear
when he stumbled and fell on
the 18 to end the threat and
the half.
The Wildcats opened the
third period with another
drive deep into Rocket terri-
tory, with Urschel going 26
yards to the Wellington 20
before another 15-yard pen-
alty set them back to the 35.
After three stabs at the line
for a total of 3 yards, Urschel
fired another long pass ... 25
yards ... to Clapper who made
another sensational catch on
the 6 yard line, and Anderson
circled right end for another
4 but penalties cancelled out
the gain and the drive died
on the 10.
As the fourth quarter open-
ed, the Rockets recovered a
fumble on the Wildcat 26 yard
line and launched a drive of
their own, but a 15-yard hold-
ing penalty wiped out the
gain and the Wildcats blocked
a kick to take over on their
own 33.
Three plays later, however,
Lockhart intercepted Urschel's
pass on the Wellington 40
and raced to the 2 yard line
before Don Anderson pulled
him in from behind. An off-
side penalty against the Wild-
cats gave Wellington posses-
sion on the 1 yard stripe, but
a 5-yard penalty against the
Rockets followed and Swires
and Clapper then crashed in
to recover Carter's fumble on
the Canadian 5 to end the

Two passes from Urschel to
Beaty moved the ball out to
the 20, but O'Rear intercepted
a long one intended for Clap-
per near midfield and that
looked like the ball game un-
til Carter's ill-fated pass on
the next play was snared by
Clois Beaty for a 60-yard trip
to pay-dirt with the tying
touchdown.
Wildcat B stringers were
most effective when operating
from a double-wingback for-
mation, although they also
ran plays from the Split-T.
Don Anderson was the chief
ground gainer, racking up
consistent yardage on sweeps
at the ends.
Starting line - up for the
Wildcats included Danny Ur-
schel at quarterback, Lloyd
Gober and Hobby McPherson
at halfbacks, Anderson at tail-
back; Clapper and Beaty at
ends, Wheeler and Parra at
tackles, Price and Swires at
guards, and Briggs at center.
Safety Gives
Junior High
Team Victory
Canadian's Junior High Kit-
tens nipped the Shamrock
Junior Irish 2-0 in the opening
game of a football double-
header at Wildcat Stadium
last Thursday night
A safety chalked up in the
second quarter of the game
when Tommy Lemons trapped
a Shamrock runner deep in
the end zone provided the two-
point margin of victory for the
Kittens in their first grid out-
ing of the season.
The game was, fbr the most
part, a see-saw battle in mid-
field, with booming punts by
Sparky Eckles keeping the Ir-
ish well back in their own

Eckles averaged 29 yards on
four kicks.
The scoring break for the
Kittens came midway in the
second quarter after Eckles
had sent a booming 25-yard
punt to the Shamrock 10-yard
line where Ronnie Sumner
dropped the receiver with a
jarring tackle.
The Irish moved out seven
yards in three plays, but
Quarterback Cantrell, drop-
ping back to kick on fourth
down, got a high pass from
center and was tackled in the
end zone by Lemons for the
safety.
The young Irish threatened*
twice in the final period, pen-
etrating to the 8-yard line
early in the quarter before
being tossed back; and recov-
ering a Kitten fumble on the
8-yard line a few seconds be-
fore the game ended to threat-
en again . . . but time ran out
with the Shamrock gridders
on the Kitten 6-yard line.
The Kittens rolled up only
two first downs In the game,
with Shamrock collecting 5.
Canadian gridders gained 84
yards from scrimmage, losing
16, for a net gain of 68 yards;
while the Irish gained 100
yards but lost 46 for a net
gain of 54.

Wildcats Tie Rockets; Kittens Beat Junior Irish
Bea ty Scores in
Final Seconds
Clois Beaty intercepted a Wellington pass
and raced 60 yards against the clock last Thurs-
day night to put the Canadian Wildcat "B"
team back into the ball game with a 6-6 tie
against the Wellington Skyrocket "B" squad in
a game at Wildcat stadium here.

COP CALLER—That's what the strange looking device is,
above. The man is using a new police alarm being tried out
in Hamburg, Germany. The user lifts a door in one side of
the alarm, and is immediately connected by phone with a
police station. With the door open, the user can give messages
to and receive instructions from the station. A light atop the
alarm goes - on when the door is open, signalling patrolling
gendarmes that-the box is in use, and thereby discouraging
pranksters who might turn in false alarms.
Intersedional Grid Warfare in
Districts 1 and 2 Continues
Intersectional warfare be-
tween teams of Districts 1 and
2 will continue this week-end
on three gridirons, with the
Canadian Wildcats meeting
White Deer's Bucks, the Mem-
phis Cyclones invading the
Panhandle Panther lair, and
Stinnett's Rattlers entertain-
ing the McLean Tigers.
And for the second straight
week-end, the honors figure to
be about evenly divided in the
pre-game forecasts. The Wild-
cats of 2-A should handle
White Deer's win-less Bucks,
and Stinnett's Rattlers of 1-A
will be top-heavy favorites to
take the McLean Tigers . . .
but the Memphis-Panhandle
game ought to be it toss-up.
In other games involving
teams of the two rival dis-
tricts, Clarendon's strong
Broncos entertain the Class
AA Perryton Rangers and lo-
cal fans will watch this one
with a lot of interest for a
comparison of strength be-
tween Broncs and Wildcats.
The Rangers whacked a Wild-
cat team weakened by injur-
pass, Canadian attempting
four and Shamrock trying
twice through the air.
The Kittens had a big lead
in the penalty department,
however, drawing twelve pen-
alties for a total of 90 yards.
The Irish were penalized once.
Starting the game for the
Kittens were Bill King and
Jim Ramp at guards, John
Rogers and Glen Hostutler at
tackles; Tommy Lemons, cen-
ter; Tommy Waters and Ron-
nie Sumner at ends; and
Sparky Eckles, Glen Hughes,
Tommy Wheeler and Frankie
Muir in the backfield.

Districts 1-A and 2-A, whose
champions will battle it out
for bi-district honors in No-
vember, broke even in this
week's inter-district contests
. . . with Lefors of 2-A tramp-
ling 1-A White Deer 21 to 0
and 1-A Panhandle slapping
2-A McLean 20 to 0.
Neither result was unex-
pected, in view of earlier
showings by the teams in-
volved . . . and there's little
to be guessed about how the
two districts will stack up in
the final running.
The Stinnett Rattlers, run-
ners-up last Fall for the state
championship, shape up as
the probable power in the two
districts, however. The Rat-
tlers chalked up their third
straight victory over the Fri-

ona Chiefs of District 3 at Fri-
ona last Friday night, win-
ning 27 to 0.
The Clarendon Broncs, who
are rated as one of the chief
contenders for the District 2
crown, blasted Class AA
Shamrock 31 to 0 Friday night
. . . but the Broncos' achieve-
ment is shadowed somewhat
by the fact that the Irish also
lost to McLean 25 to 6 and
had trouble beating Lefors 13
to 6.
In other non - conference
games involving teams of the
two Class A districts, Memphis
of 2-A defeated Class B Estel-
line 33 to 0, Sunray of 1-A de-
feated Class B Spearman 13
to 0, and Gruver of 1-A lost to
Class B Groom 28 to 25.
Groom had tied White Deer
and beaten Sunray in earlier
contests . . . which may shed
some light on the District 1
also-rans.
A good guess at this stage
is that Panhandle and Stin-
nett will fight it out for the
District 1 title in their No-
vember 16 meeting, which
ends the conference season.
In District 2, Clarendon,
Memphis and Canadian look
like title contenders at this
early stage . . . and it's pos-
sible that the District 2 crown
may hinge on the Memphis-
Canadian game also slated
for November 16.

Some local high school teachers
spent the summer taking courses
at the State University. They
learned a lot, but one of them —
Miss Williams—got homesick.
"To save expenses," she re-
ports, "we chose a hotel that was
clean but grim. When I found my
window looked out on a coalya.d
-my heart just sank!"
But, when Miss Williams no-
ticed a pot of geraniums on the
window sill-and a note saying
"Look at these instead, (signed)
Last Occupant" —she decided to
stick it out. She kept those flowers
Changed Her Whole
'Point of View"
watered and tended to make
things that much easier on the
next occupant.
From where I sit, it's often hard
to adapt to new surroundings —
just as new customs often seem
strange to us at first. For in-
stance, if you've always had tea
with .vour meals you might find it
odd that I prefer a glass of beer.
It's OK to prefer what's familiar
to you . . . but also keep an open
mind on what's not.
